Grandin Bakery - St. Albert

I was craving a pastry. More specifically, a donut of some sort, so I, open my Apple Maps, and search for donuts nearby. I am not from Saint Albert, but I am somewhat familiar, and have conducted business there over the years.I saw some reviews for a bakery located about nine minutes from Jensen Lakes, where I was working (home sales) and thought I would check it out. No frills, but I could confirm from the search that they had donuts.Plenty of accessible parking and not located in a difficult-to-get-to shopping area, Grandin Bakery reminds one of a classic, bake shop that uses familiar ingredients, without compromise of quality and delivers consistent service to its patrons and passersby.Great selection of candy, breads, bagels, cakes, and cupcakes, cookies, and donuts.“We are pretty picked over,” proclaimed the friendly lady behind the counter.Picked over? They had everything I wanted. Everything looked so fresh, and I will definitely be back for the cheese bread and buttery dinner rolls. I ordered two dozen donut centers with cinnamon and sugar dusting. This came to a very reasonable five dollars and whatever cents.I took my paper bag full of donut centers (holes) and tossed one or two in my mouth en route to my car. They delivered. Soft yeast donuts, that were airy and flavourful. If I wanted a yeast donut- and I did- these would be the exact ones that I would hope to have.Will be back.

The best donuts EVER and I mean EVER. You would be lucky to actually see a full display of donuts. They used to offer pre-orders on donuts but a few people didn't pick up their orders and now they don't do that. I would like to suggest that instead of punishing everyone and getting rid of pre-orders, start charging for pre-ordered donuts and all other baked goods. I will gladly pre-pay to pre-order and get the best donuts.

Cupcakes were so good! Carrot cake and key lime were very delicious!

High quality breads and treats, the donuts are my favourite in the world and their buns are always a go-to for parties and bbqs.

Best donuts in town. If you’re into donuts, this is the place to grab a dozen. Whenever I stop by the counter help are super friendly. I tried their raisin bread and it’s going to be a regular purchase for me!
