Calgary's Cookie Haven Biscettes Is Closing After Three Years

One of Calgary's beloved cookie shops, Biscettes, is closing its doors after almost three years in business. This news is a blow to many a sweet tooth, especially those who have savored the unique and delicious creations from Biscettes.

According to Charlie Hart, Biscettes, which is owned by the team behind Sweet Relief, has been a hit for its expansive cookie selection, including items like apple crumble cheesecake and banana brownie cookies. The shop also had its own quirky creations, such as 'glazies,' which were essentially cookie-stuffed donuts.

While the closure is disappointing, fans of Biscettes can still find their favorite treats at Sweet Relief, which will continue to offer a range of baked goods including cakes, decorated sugar cookies, and desserts. This move ensures that the community won't go completely without those sweet treats.

For those curious about what's next for the space, the location at 1516 6th St. SW is set to be taken over by Sweet Life Bake Co., which plans to open in mid-November. This means that the area will still have a bakery presence, just with a different focus and a fresh start.

As a dive instructor in Calgary, I can say that this news might affect some of my expat friends who have been regulars at Biscettes. If you're planning to visit or are just curious about what to expect, keep an eye out for Sweet Life Bake Co. in the coming weeks. They might have some interesting new offerings to try.
