My only complaint about Cobs is the fact that it’s so far from me — could we please get a location in Oliver? Please? Why are they all on the outskirts of the city? (okay, this location isn’t on the outskirts, but still isn’t close to me, haha).
Anyways, the bread here is always SO fresh. And the prices are great — comparable to a loaf of bread at a grocery store except that it’s also fresh baked. They also sell some really great speciality breads and treats. My favourite is the Turkish Loaf — it’s a really soft loaf with crispy edges, covered in herbs and a light dusting of oil. It’s amazing as a bread dipper with some good olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
I’ve seriously never been disappointed. Also — they have a punch card — you get a punch every time you buy a loaf and after a certain number (I think 12?) you get a free one.

Great bread and scones. If your out for a walk in McKinnon Ravine it is worth a short detour

We’ve been buying our bread from Cobs for the past 2 – 3 years and while it is more expensive than regular grocery store bread, it’s worth the extra cost. We ran out of bread one night after Cobs closed and were forced to buy some from Safeway — I was so surprised by how different they tasted. Given that Cobs bread doesn’t have preservatives, it doesn’t last as long as regular grocery store bread, but it can be frozen if necessary.

I tried to find this location today but couldn’t find it. I’m not sure if it’s closed for good or just in a real hard to find spot. I have had Cobs baked goods before and I love everything they bake. I was pretty disappointed to not find this bakery today. Hopefully I can find one that is easier to find soon!

Always great! Who doesn’t love fresh, delicious bread?! Can’t wait for the Cobs in Spruce Grove to open!

I am not a fan of their scones at all… they are doughy and taste too much of flour.
The butter tarts are nothing special and butter tarts are one of the easiest things to make but here, you cannot taste vanilla or butter.
The bread is pretty good but I wonder if they use a sourdough starter (real one not prepacked). The bread is not as good as Breadland.
Service here is tepid, you feel rushed and don’t have time to look over the goods because the service personnel are quite impatient and pushy.

We moved into the area a year and a half ago. Since we found Cobs we won’t buy bread anywhere else! Service is cheerful and efficient. You need to go try the Irish Scones before they’re gone… they’re YUMMY!
I would have given a 5* but… they don’t make my New Brunswick brown bread! LOL

It is heartening to see the proliferation of stand-​alone bakeries on the streets of YEG. Cobs certainly has the greatest number of stand-​alone bakeries in the city, though I find its products are hit and miss. The breads are delicious: fragrant, crusty, hearty and divine with nothing more than a delicate smear of butter. Their scones and cinnamon buns, however, leave something to be desired. Case in point: the cheddar-​chive scone is literally green with chives and no cheese flavour is apparent. The cinnamon buns have liberal cinnamon flavour, but the sticky glaze has a very odd consistency, not unlike the interstitial goo in headcheese. Cobs’ strength is clearly bread, but other goodies need some polish.

Their raspberry white chocolate scones are amazingly good.
The service is sometimes a little perfunctory, but much of the times I’ve been there, it’s been busy.
Worth trying a few times before you shrug it off as being a chain — they make good stuff!

Allow me to mention that I am Eastern European, and that when I came to Canada, it took me a while to get used to the local bread. It is just so different from the one we have in Europe! Since I discovered Cobs, I no longer miss the kind of bread that is so familiar and dear to me because I can buy it at Cobs any time!
Every trip to Cobs feels like a treat to me. The aroma in the bakery is fantastic and the choice is overwhelming. These guys bake everything: from traditional breads (white, whole wheat, whole grain) to specialty breads like German Rye, and of course sweet treats like cinnamon buns, blueberry scones and apple scrolls. I am a big cheese fan, so I always buy several cheesy buns, and never share them with anybody.
The prices at Cobs are higher than at grocery stores but this is to be expected. Their bread is unique and better tasting. And overall, I would choose Cob’s bread over bread at Safeway any day of the week.
Cobs has four Edmonton locations now which is great because more people should have the pleasure of treating themselves to amazing bread!

Living within smelling distance of a bread bakery definitely has its challenges. It is hard to wake up to the smell of a world tour of loaves and even harder to have to walk by the sight of double chocolate scones and cranberry danishes on a nearly daily basis. However, I appreciate the opportunity to work on my self control on such a regular basis!
COBS is an amazing little bakery that sells artisan breads and a few baked goods. Their selection changes depending on the day of the week so it is nice to visit a couple times a week. I often pick up loaves for sandwiches and really enjoy trying the different flavors from around the world. The bread is freshly made and healthy with many varieties chalked full of grains and seeds. Check out the samples when you walk in if you are having a hard time making up your mind.

Cob’s has a several locations in Edmonton, and sells artisan breads and baked goods. The bread here is a bit pricier than in the supermarkets, but is also far more substantial. You can buy a half loaf or a full loaf. The main problem here is that the place is so popular, they are often out of the particular bread you want. They bake ins mall batches throughout the day. So, if you plan it right, you will end up munching on some of the best bread you have ever tasted. If not, try again — it is worth it. They also sell some pastries here, like danishes, croissants, and some savoury items.

This modern artisan bakery has everything from country grain bread to traditional white loaves, risen that very morning with the sun. There are cinnamon buns and cinnamon scones, saturated with sugar and spice the kind of way homemade cinnamon toast tasted when it was perfectly mixed. There are chocolate croissants, ones filled with spinach and feta, heavenly braided bread with cheddar and jalapeño, and other pastries and breads to choose from. For those people who only eat processed sliced Wonder Bread, Cobs is a whole new world where carb-​consumption has been crafted into an art form. Places like this make me want to slow down and start shopping daily for fresh bread and produce, like they do in Europe. There’s a reason you don’t pay Superstore prices here, but the difference is apples and oranges. People who shop here make taste, quality and pleasure in food a priority.
