Best Butter Tarts in Calgary

Name: Butter Tarts
Brand: Sweet Home Bakery
Availability: InStock

Satisfy your sweet tooth with Sweet Home Bakery's iconic Butter Tarts — a quintessential Canadian treat baked fresh daily in our Bowness bakery. Our butter tarts feature a perfectly flaky, golden pastry shell cradling a gloriously gooey caramel filling made with real butter, brown sugar, and eggs. Available in both traditional and pecan varieties, these tarts strike the perfect balance between sweet and buttery, with a filling that is delightfully runny in the centre. Baked using a recipe honed over 50 years, our butter tarts are considered among the very best in Calgary NW.

About Our Butter Tarts

At Sweet Home Bakery, we take pride in baking the best Butter Tarts in Calgary. Our Bowness bakery has been crafting baked goods from scratch for over 50 years, using the freshest ingredients and time-honoured recipes passed down through generations.

Every item is baked in-house daily with care and attention to detail, ensuring that every bite delivers the authentic, homestyle quality that has made Sweet Home Bakery a beloved cornerstone of the Bowness community since the 1960s.

Why Our Butter Tarts Stands Out

The secret to our Butter Tarts lies in the simplicity of excellent ingredients and decades of baking expertise. We use real Canadian butter, fresh eggs, and pure maple syrup to create a filling that caramelises beautifully during baking. Our pastry shells are made from scratch each morning — never frozen, never pre-made — resulting in a tender, flaky crust that complements the rich filling perfectly. Whether you prefer them plain or loaded with crunchy pecans, each bite is a celebration of classic Canadian baking.

TripAdvisor Reviewer

"They had the usual bread, buns, cinnamon buns, butter tarts, and assorted pastries — but these butter tarts are exceptional. Gooey, sweet, and perfectly flaky."

"We popped in for pastries and the butter tarts stole the show. Rich, buttery, and made fresh — exactly how butter tarts should taste."
