Rarely do I blog about a non-local eatery, unless it is so delicious and blog-worthy that to not do so would be a travesty.
Allow me to introduce you to Urban Baker.
Truthfully, until today we always thought the place was called "the place beside Diner Deluxe" since that's where it is located, and we had never bothered to learn its name even though we've been there several times, always to get the same delicious item: chocolate cranberry sourdough bread.
Today Hubbs & I stopped in on our way out of Calgary. We not only picked up a loaf of bread (it is already half-consumed now that we're mid-way through the day), but we also tried their wood-fire-grilled sandwiches. At $9 a sandwich, we were expecting a lot. We weren't disappointed, either. My spinach and chicken sandwich was crispy and cheesy and delicious, and Hubbs was so eager to eat his tasty tomato and cappicola ham sandwich (while driving) that he almost missed a green light. ;)
The place is small, it's not meant to be dined-in at, but it is one of my favourite bread places ever. In fact, I know of no other that sells this amazing chocolate cranberry sourdough bread. We stop in every time we're in Calgary, and for good reason. I highly recommend that if you're needing some sweet chocolaty goodness or just a good sandwich or light pizza fix, that you pay the Urban Baker a visit. :)
