It's monday.... Love pastries?
well.....lets dig in! |
Duchess Bake Shop, a celebrated staple in Edmonton's culinary scene, has expanded its iconic presence on 124th Street, amplifying the district’s renowned food culture.
In 2023, the owners doubled their shop’s interior by acquiring both their longtime building and the neighboring property.
This allowed for an ambitious renovation, streamlining operations and creating more space for guests to savor signature pastries like croissants, macarons, and the beloved Duke Cake — all crafted with meticulous care.
The larger space also paved the way for new menu items, expanded baking classes, and enhanced custom ordering for special occasions.
124th Street itself is thriving, attracting diverse local businesses and community events, like the captivating Glowscape 124 art installation in late 2024, and benefitting from ongoing city-led infrastructure upgrades.
Duchess Bake Shop’s expansion embodies the energetic growth and creative spirit transforming 124th Street into one of Edmonton’s most vibrant destinations. Read More... |
