Bear's Paw Bakery

Busy cafe but the line moves quick. Oat milk latte was good. Have been here in the past without complaint but this visit was subpar. Muffin was dry and we had ordered large coffees, but the cups are pretty small.

Best spot in Jasper to grab your morning coffee and breakfast! Amazing menu and awesome staff! 12/10!

Food: OMG. We had a chocolate croissant and a bear's paw here and both were incredible. The croissant could have been proudly featured in any parisian bakery, and the bear's paw has to be tried to be believed. We also had two cups of coffee, which was extremely good, but the real standout here is the pastries.

Service: Fast and friendly! It's counter serve, so that's basically all you could want anyway.

Atmosphere: Adorable mountain town cafe. We stopped by early in winter (like, 6am) and it was pretty empty but still plenty warm and cozy.

I was in Jasper for 3 days. I went to the bakery each day to ask for a bear's paw Each day and as early as 7: 30 a.m, I was told they were already out of bear paws for the day. For a "bear's paw" bakery, they should make way more than they do. Open until 6 pm, but if you want a bear's paw, better arrive earlier than I did. I understand them not being able to predict each day how many they need but to be out that early is disappointing.

Before a long day of hiking, we ventured to Bear’s Paw Baker in Jasper for a quick bite to-go and some coffee. This little bakery was packed, but the line moved very quickly. Our group of eight chose a variety of different items. Having sampled a bit of all of it, I can say that everything was exceptional. There were savory options, sweet options, and everything in between. The servers were helpful. The coffee took a little bit of time, but no one seemed to mind the wait. I would definitely recommend this cute little bakery to anyone visiting Jasper.

Went there to try out some of the pastries but they were out of croissant, cinemon buns, and other baked goodies. I got a slice of maple walnut cake and a raspberry coconut bar. Both were so stale and did not have a good taste. The butter cream icing was not even edible. Very hard unpleasant texture with all the sugar and low quality butter.

Pastries too sweet and didn't seem fresh. Milk in coffees was scalding hot. Sausage roll was tasty. Overall, pretty average.

Love this bakery. Treats are amazing and especially the cinnamon buns. Probably the best I have ever had. Would give 5 stars, but the service is always slow - seem understaffed and disorganized. That said. I keep going back!

I had the raspberry and chocolate scones because it was recommended. The scone was soft and the surface was covered in a tart raspberry flavour with white chocolates. My friends cinnamon buns was also buttery and sugary, which I do recommend as well!

This is probably one of the best bakeries I have ever been to in my life. Apple Danish is amazing.

Bear’s Paw Bakery is a great little cafe located in Jasper. I love that everything was fresh and delicious! You have to try their espresso cheesecake it was a bomb!
Customer service is excellent and fast. They even gave us a loaf of bread on the way.

Personnel particulièrement mal aimable et pressant.
Le plus mauvais chocolat chaud que j'ai pu goûter jusqu'à présent.

Fantastic sticky cinnamon buns! Really good coffees, teas, Etc. Not sure if they were checking the dine-in patrons vaccination status carefully. But tough to do that.

A great local spot - they have TWO LOCATIONS in town. This is the busier one. Drive down the main road a few blocks to get to The Other Bear Paw which has the same offering and less of a line up.

Their breads are wonderful. The spicy chili cheese bread (loaf) is PERFECT. Coffee is fantastic. All of the muffins, scones and cinnamon buns are moist and delicious! There's no reason to go to any big chain coffee place.

Usually we love going and everything is perfect. Today there was no coffee left in the urns. So we asked for more. Then no milk or cream left. And the girl was super unfriendly.

Had a Roastbeef Sandwich and White Chocolate/Raspberry Scone for a total of C$ 11. Both were great.

Not as good as usual (usually amazing!). Found a hair in my rhubarb square, raspberry scone was hard and dry, and the rum ball tasted like formalhyde.

Literally only ate 2 of the 8 things i bought, trashed the rest.i can’t comprehend why any bakery wouldn’t heat up food meant to be warm in a town full of hotels.vibe was absolutely awful, there’s other bakeries around to enjoy more.

Absolute best cinnamon sticky buns I've ever had. Lots of selection for drinks and baked goods. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, reasonably priced. Does not disappoint, if you're in Jasper you have to stop here.

Nice selection of baked goods, and some different flavors not usually seen in bale shops, like chocolate mint cake. We picked up a jalapeño pretzel bun, monster cookie, and peanut butter pecan balls. The pretzel bun was our favorite of the three, but was more like a pizza bun because it didn't have that chewy pretzel texture we expected.

Not a single bad food. Cinnamon roll is a must try for sure. Shoutout to the kind and friendly staff (Belle and Lorna)

Make sure you come early! Definitely worth it. I got the sticky cinnamon bun, veggie sandwich, cheese stick, jalepeno pizza bun, spicy sausage roll, strawberry danish, blackberry cream danish, and a ham sunrise breakfast sandwich as well as some lattes. There's a microwave on the side so make sure you microwave the food before you eat it but great fresh local Bakery. A must visit in Jasper!

Bof. Boulangerie sur-cotées à mon avis. Les pâtisseries sont très sèches et les serveurs sont un peu soûlés de servir les clients.

Staff preparing food were NOT WEARING ANY MASKS AND COUGHING INTO OPEN AIR.a ginger worker turned to the side and coughed instead of wearing a mask or coughing into their elbow.repulsive.worker who was handling breads was wearing no mask.absolutely disgusting to see people have ZERO respect for the severity of a global pandemic.

A must stop! Lovely staff, good menu with lots of options. The café was great to sit in and get off our feet for a few minutes.

We got some fun photos of the quirky décor and had some delicious treats!

Such a nice cozy cafe to come to after a chilly hike in Jasper! I got the veggie sandwich and some coffee and both were good. Next time We're hiking in Jasper we will definitely stop by!

Great bakery, but can have long lines. Be aware that you can get need coffee, tea and naked goods from the express line on the outside of the building

Very disappointed in service and the baked goods. Had the famous raspberry white chocolate scone and it was dry and hardly any chocolate. Then asked for a plain croissant and if he could slice the middle. He mangled it so badly couldn’t even eat it. Not worth the hype for sure.

A cute little place that offers some great baked goodies!
I visited this place twice while I was on a 2 day trip in jasper.
Everything here was fresh, delicious and light on the pocket too!
There's plenty of parking available in a lot right across the street which makes it easier to grab and go real quick.

Received quotes in writing for a cake and when I went to order the price had increased 50%. Staff had quoted entirely wrong prices and wouldn't own their mistake. Disappointed by their customer service.

Wide variety of sandwiches and morning breakfast options. Coffee is available too. If you want a quick breakfast or keep your lunch packed with you for afternoon trips, then this is a good place. Service is super quick. This place has old bakery vibes and will transport you to different times.

I also thought this place was overrated. The queue was pretty long each morning and the staff were clearly too busy to be friendly. They were not rude or anything - just quite mechanic. What do you want/this is the price/off you go. Grabbed sandwiches in the morning for a day hike of the day on 2 occasions. Both times they got pretty soggy by lunch. Only ate half and ended up tossing the other half. Their famous sticky bread wasn’t anything too special - it was like a drier version of a cinnamon roll. Won’t be returning.

Stopped in yesterday morning to grab a loaf of bread - staff were kind & efficient. I also received THE BEST loaf of potato bread I have ever had in my LIFE. For real I’m still thinking about it… it was the stuff dreams are made of… fluffy yet dense… flavourfulI… ugh. I want to personally thank whoever bakes that bread - keep up the good baking. Forever wishing I lived in Jasper so I could eat that potato bread every day.

Their baked goods are delicious. If you get there early enough, the sticky cinnamon buns are a good choice. Service is slow and a bit inefficient when it's busy and their express window doesn't allow for latte orders. They have a nice bench outside of their store.

I know it's a bit after restrictions lifted in Alberta, but I did not feel safe even though there are plexiglass in place. Otherwise visitors just ignore social distancing.

The pastries I had were very good, and the price is decent (Lemon square and Strudel square). Haven’t tried the rest however.

Great little bakery Cafe to get a lunch or breakfast. Open very EARLY and I mean early. Lots of goodies and good coffee.

I stopped here a couple times in the morning to get some breakfast and lunch sandwiches before heading to Marmot for the day. It was fairly busy on both occasions which was expected. I ordered a raspberry white chocolate scone, a sunny day sandwich (egg, ham, and cheese on a english style muffin), a turkey sandwich, and ham sandwich all were great. Service was underwhelming both times. Staff didn't seem very enthusiastic or attentive which was unfortunate because it subtracted from the customer service experience. I had to repeat my order twice to the gentleman at the front counter who gave me the vibe he was doing me a favor taking my order. In this economy I'm sure there are people with positive attitudes willing to work a delightful place like this, ditch the zero.

WORST SERVICE OF ALL TIME!
Our second visit in a row with very poor service. The previous visit my cousin got yelled at for placing her order. It was appalling. In a rush to get home yesterday, and didn't know where else to stop for a latte. This time the girl behind the counter literally rolled her eyes when we politely asked for a green tea latte. Also, my 12 year old daughter wanted to make a purchase by herself, and we again got another giant eye roll. Twice in a row with the same unbelievably poor service is totally ridiculous! NEVER going back!

Honestly we were disappointed this time around. When I greeted the server, she said nothing in return. My husband told her it was for here but she put our drinks in paper cups instead of ceramic (I understand this is probably because of COVID but she could have told us when we said "for here"). She took our pastry order and at the cash she had to ask us what we had ordered.my latte was so sweet, and finally the heat was pumping out on our heads making our time very uncomfortable. Oh, and my white chocolate raspberry scone had those whole giant white chocolate chips in them; not melted, not chopped, just a big ol' baker's chip. Not what I look for in a scone.

The line is always long in the morning but waiting in line for the raspberry white chocolate scones. They are amazing! Really flavorful and tasty.

We go camping in Jasper a lot, and our go to spot is the Bear’s Paw. The White Chocolate Raspberry Scones are amazing! We always pick up a pack to make them at home too. The Nanaimo Bars, Apple Streusels, and Sausage Rolls are also big favourites.

Taste: 4/5 Price: $-$$ Service: 3/5

Fair tasting pastries. Would be better if the pastries were warm as they are served as is. The line is always long due to only having one cashier service.
The cappuccino is excellent and highly recommended if you're a coffee drinker!

They also have a quick line outside if you're only picking up coffee or teas.

J’ai adoré beaucoup de variété bon café endroit très achalandé mais vos la peine j’y retournerais sans aucune hésitation

First stop in jasper, got the vegetarian pocket and they didn’t warm it up. Just a cold/half frozen veggie samosa essentially in a phylo pastry. We both only ate half. Gross

We located the Bear Paw bakery while on two week road trip through Alberta and British Columbia. The Bear Paw has the highest quality baked goods and customer service. We only wish we lived closer to enjoy going there more often.

Amazing treats and a super homey feel to the staff and atmosphere. Great coffee and incredible value. Highly recommended:)

This is a genuine bakery that has anything you would want from a bakery. The sticky cinnamon bun was amazing along with their coffee.

Great place to start the day.

Was our first morning in Jasper and we decided to break our fast at Bear’s Paw.

We ordered a Bear Paw which I believe was a cinnamon roll in a more bread pastry. We got the one with raisins. Simply lovely.

We got a sandwich too and two cups of coffee. Love the ambiance of this cafe.

There are also bread which are a day old on sale. As it was stale, it was good for our soup for dinner.

Delicious pastries! The line can get long, but it moves quickly. There’s an express line for orders of 5 items or less if you know what you want. Cinnamon buns and scones were our favorites

Fantastic customer service! And great products. I emailed from Ontario looking to have some chocolate dipped strawberries and vegan treats delivered to our daughter who was travelling and spending one night in Jasper.

Kimberly answered my email right away and made it all happen.
The treats arrived before her and made for a great cross country surprise.

Very busy little cafe! We stopped in around ten and there was a queue almost out the door. They do a wide selection of sandwiches, sausage rolls, muffins, cookies, croissants, scones, cheese sticks etc and more.

We got: cheese stick, hazlenut danish, sticky cinnamon roll, raspberry and white chocolate scone and a bear paw. All were thoroughly enjoyed. We also got coffee and tea. To any British people reading - the tea is not English breakfast as we would know it. Better to avoid if you're looking for that. With that being said though, the other flavours were nice too.

There are about six tables available for sitting in if you wish and lots of street parking available directly outside or around the corner.

We would definitely come back - the service was really friendly and the pastries delicious.

Would have ordered a couple things if I wasn't ignored by the staff. I was standing there discussing what this one sweet was that was not labelled. Staff was working right in front of me. No acknowledgement or response. I might as well have been invisible. When we tried to speak to another employee he kept walking and ignored us. You're gonna lose sales by not greeting and acknowledging your customers.

We stopped in to get some dessert after an early dinner. They were closing shortly after we got there so they were running low on or were out of a lot of things.

We split a rhubarb bar and a slice of white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. The the rhubarb bar was really good. I would have liked more rhubarb and less topping, but it was still quite good.

The cheesecake was a different story. It was the worst cheesecake I've ever had. There was a tiny bit of white chocolate on the end and it was topped with raspberry. The issue was the cheesecake itself. It was hard and dry. It tasted like a block of cream cheese that they got hardened and wasn't mixed with anything else.

I might come back for another bar but definitely avoid the cheesecake.

This place was very busy when we arrived and it's not hard to see why. We got a cinnamon bun, jalapeno and cheddar scones, cheese buns, veggie pockets and the tomato soup and it was all delicious. Limited seating but oh so good! Great to grab and go when you want to get on the road.

Good bakery, but if you are used to good ones, this one is just average. But the best you can find in the mountains! Not 4 or 5 stars because they close too early.

Good food, little different from normal cafes, you can see the people making the confectionary. Not posh but definitely worth a visit. (Go read the bathroom walls.

Surprisingly disappointed. We've stopped at the other bear paw cafe many times. Maybe they just had an off day but none of us liked our drinks. My Americano had a real earthy taste which may have just been the beans, but my wife didn't like her chai and our friend wasn't impressed with her flat white either. The kids liked the sugar cookies and the inside of the sticky bun was good. The outside was dried out but it was also right before closing. Our daughter ordered a Nutella turnover which was also a let down. The filling was kind of hard which is weird for Nutella. I think we would give the other bear paw another shot, but this one was not great.

I've enjoyed this spot for a few years now. I definitely like the original location better than the one on the main drag. Their baked goods are pretty consistent, as is their drip coffee. My only complaint is it is super expensive, even for Jasper.

Probably the best bakery after 2 years in Canada. Friendly staff, good coffee and house made sandwiches, the pastries are really tasty. You can even buy the recipes book!
I wish I could have this bakery in Toronto.

We always make a point to stop here as it is the only cinnamon bun that rivals my mothers. Big ups to the White chocolate scones. Coffee is good but nothing special. The cafe is usually pretty busy and crowded near the coffee area. My comment to the owner would be to ask patrons to wait elsewhere, as it can become quite hectic trying to heat up a breakfast sandwich and fix your own coffee while multiple people are standing in your way. I am sure in summer months they add patio seating, but I tend to frequent more for skiing than in the summer. The existing veggie and sunrise breakfast sandwiches are lacking. My suggestion to the owner would be to use your delicious croissants to there potential and add a breakfast sandwich using the croissant and bacon! Where is the bacon? You can thank me later for this;) My only other comment is that my dog who will eat everything including his own poop will not touch your dog treats. I am not sure what to make of this except, that I called to get the ingredients and your listed phone number is not in service: (
4/5

Cozy little cafe in jasper. I always make a point to visit here ever since i was introduced to this place.my go-to order is coffee and the white chocolate raspberry scone.very consistent and tasty.although the coffee isn't anything to write home about, its definitely not bad.scones are always moist and tasty, however a little dense.overall, great place and would recommend.

Nothing special. There are two in town, one on Patricia Street and one on Pyramid Road.
Went to Patricia street one Friday at 4 and they were very unfriendly. I thought maybe this was because they were trying to close (they close at 6) but that is unlikely because a passenger train had just landed across the street and this made the bakery busy. We had the raspberry scone and espresso brownie. Both were average at best.
Tried the Pyramid Road location on Sat a.m. Again, the service is pretty poor. I had the sticky cinn bun which was good warmed up in the microwave. I wanted a flat white but the specialty coffees are way over priced ($5.50 for a small).
Both locations good have good seating. There was a lot of variety at the pyramid road location. I walked by Friday night after they closed and could see through the window that they had more items available than the Patricia street spot did.

We are now at the point of going first thing in the morning before skiing/hiking. We grab some fresh baking, breakfast sandwiches & coffee plus one of their delicious sandwiches to eat for lunch on the slopes/trails a few hours later. A wonderful treat. The line is almost always long in the morning, but it moves at a pretty good pace and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

Fantastic. Had a cappucino and jalepeno pizza bun thing. They were amazing, a little pricy but amazing. Im writing this reveiw 2 months after i ate there only once and i still remember it, it was that good.

Cute little bakery. Good selection of self serve coffee. Had a nanaimo bar, which was delicious. We were there mid-afternoon on a weekday, and most of the tables were taken by retired people chatting over coffee, which is always a good sign in my books as it probably means the coffee is affordable and good!

There is a large variety of pastries. They taste very average and you have to heat or toast things by yourself with microwave and toaster that they provide you. The coffee (Fratello) also is not very tasty. Staff were friendly and the space was cute. A nice view of the mountains. I will likely not make an effort to go again though.

A must-stop for me with every visit. Not so much the meals but a coffee and ANY of their baked goods. Cheese bun? YES. Macarons? YES. Cinnamon Roll? YES YES YES.

Their cute touch of putting a chocolate covered espresso bean on every hot beverage is adorable.

You’ll likely have to wait in line.but be patient. It’s a small shop in a small mountain town. Enjoy the wait.

But if your wait is for the bathroom be prepared. There’s only one toilet in the place.

You can always go a little further in town to the 2nd location. Little bigger, more seating, same wait but also same delicious food.
