Fosters Bakery Ltd — Restaurant in Calgary

CASH ONLY! This is the only place in recent times that has made me feel the necessity of going to the bank to take out cash. The "extra effort" was well worth it. I've only been here once but will be back again and again after finding out this is just a few minutes drive from our house.

Many of the things on menu were frozen the day I visited, but that didn't stop me - I bought the strawberry melon buns, daifuku mochi and red bean donuts which were fresh that day. I served the red bean donuts as dessert after a meal of takeout sushi with friends, and loved how fluffy the texture was. The dough was also not super thick so it wasn't too heavy for a dessert!

The strawberry melon buns I let thaw in the fridge overnight and then I heated gently in microwave the next day - it was still really, really tasty. And the daifuku was the perfect texture and sweetness. I'm a huge mochi fan and will be picking up the ice cream mochi next time! Normally I'm a little hesitant in buying frozen baked goods but the things I purchased thawed out nicely and didn't have that dreaded frozen taste. This is primarily a commercial bakery it seems, and I'm so glad we have the opportunity...

We came for the curry buns and daifuku but bought so much more ♡ We bought the Shoku-pan (a very tasty loaf of bread), curry buns(japanese curry), red bean doughnuts, melon bread(1 of each flavour + an extra vanilla. You can buy 5 and get a 6th free), green tea cream puffs, daifuku (kinako mochi), and cream bread. We love our baked goods. Sadly we were too early for the fresh stuff, but we took it home to heat it up and it was absolutely delicious ♡ I may have heated mine too long so they're darker than they should be fresh. The red bean paste is amazing ♡♡♡♡♡ Will definitely go back again and again and hopefully catch some of the fresh goodies.

And will definitely have to order curry buns ahead of schedule as my partner said he could have eaten 10 of them easily because they were so delicious.

Also the family that runs it was very friendly and helpful.

Highly recommend this place! Also, remeber they...

Great little shop. Easy to miss as it's at the side of the building. Lots of items that remind me of living in Japan. Shokupan and all the buns we had were excellent. Bring cash as debit and credit are not options. Also be prepared that most if not all items are frozen for you to bring home and thaw. Everything thaws well... But I'd prefer to get the shokupan fresh. But they are the best daifuku in town by...
