Our Story
From delivering bread on bicycle in a one-person operation, the bakery slowly grew, with our first location opening on 1a street in 2010, to moving into our home in the East Village in 2015 we now employ over 40 people who makes fresh pastries and bread from scratch from local ingredients.
From 2010-2022 we were found inside Sunnyside Natural Market. While we no longer have our own counter in the market, you can still find many of our baked goods and breads there!
In November 2019 we opened our stunning restaurant Park by Sidewalk Citizen at 340 13th Ave SW in Calgary’s historic Central Memorial Park. For more info check out parkbysidewalk.com
What We Stand For
Our commitments to our staff, our customers, and our community
creating extraordinary, organic sourdough bread. We aspire to create exciting, flavourful, and affordable food and pastries. The menu is half vegetarian as we strongly believe meat should be consumed thoughtfully.
We are equally committed to our employees, creating an environment that is creative, supportive, generous and fun with opportunities to learn, develop and make a good living.
We are committed to creating a space where the customer experience is similar to our employee experience: generous hospitality, attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. A place that is a meeting spot, a hub with good food and good people.
We are committed to the environment by taking active measures to reduce our footprint and purchase from local farmers and producers as much as possible.
We are committed to our neighbourhoods and aspire to do good in our city by supporting local charities and events as well as creating content. We are partial to the arts as we believe that good food and art, in any form, are essential to life.
