It’s a messy feat to take on, but it’s one of the best desserts you’ll find in the city.
Sidewalk Citizen Bakery

Notable The Restaurant
133-4611 Bowness Rd NW, Calgary, AB T3B 0B2Justin Leboe’s upscale restaurant features a coffee crème brûlée dessert served with rich chocolate fudge cookies. If you prefer to pair your pastries with a tall mug of coffee, you’ll love how the coffee-flavoured crème brûlée complements the rich chocolate fudge in the cookies. While the dish’s main component is the crème brûlée, the accompanying fudge cookies are arguably the best part of the whole thing.
The Bank & Baron
125 8 Avenue SW, Calgary, AB T2P 1B4While the Bank & Baron does not have a lengthy dessert menu, it does feature a chocolate pot de crème dish served with a scrumptiously soft sugar cookie. The pot de crème features a rich, dark-chocolate pudding, so the fresh-baked, fluffy sugar cookie adds lightness to the dish.
Earls
1110 16 Ave NW, Calgary, AB T2M 0K8This Canadian restaurant chain features a skillet peanut butter cookie on its dessert menu. The cookie is baked directly on a miniature, single-serving skillet and served piping hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sprinkling of peanuts. It’s a decadent and chewy cookie that balances the saltiness of the peanuts with the sweetness of the vanilla ice cream. It’s perfect for sharing, but if you bring your appetite you may be able to order one all for yourself.
Village Ice Cream
