  There are very few real bakeries on the south side of the City. By that I mean bakeries that sell a variety of breads. We have lots of places that sell pastries but not bread. Of course for those who want white bread there is an ample supply at any grocer. But if you want real bread such as sourdough, multi-grain, whole wheat, rye or maybe even pumpernickel, the choice is usually to drive to Bon Ton in the west end.   Vienna is a rare exception. Here you can get loaves of most of the the fine breads. They seem to carry a lot of rye breads. Some of them are as soft and  aromatic as a good sourdough and others are so heavy that they could double as a weapon if needed. Vienna also carries lots of buns and specialty items including some pastries. The pastries are okay but that is clearly not their specialty. This is a bread place. They run out of some kinds of breads early to minimize waste and day-olds so go early to ensure that you get what you want. Service is always quick and friendly.  Now the problem with Vienna Bakery is with their location. They have found the most inaccessible location in the City.  There is one entrance which also serves as the only exit. Most people will probably access it my heading north on Gateway Blvd. You have one chance to turn right on 61 Avenue which will look like a back alley. If you miss it don't take the next right which is Argyll Rd as there is no access there. Those drivers who are particularly good at following their GPS's instructions can come via Calgary Trail, by turning soon after crossing Argyll but they must then wind around an old industrial area before reaching the lights at 61 Ave.  Exiting from Vienna means you'll either go north on Gateway Blvd or wait at the lights before crossing Gateway and winding through that industrial area and, if you didn't turn too soon, you'll end up at Calgary Trail southbound. Seriously it's tricky. Needless to say there is always lots of parking  for the few people who successfully reached this place. I should also mention that if you make the correct turn you will probably think you've errored because you'll just see loading docks. You have to drive through the narrow gap between two buildings to see the front.   Good luck.
  
  I considered giving them four stars for generally good bread but decided to make it only three on account of the location.  Bread should not be this hard to find.

  I grew up eating the rye bread and cakes from Vienna Bakery in the old location so I was excited to pay a visit to the new location recently.
  
  It's super hard to find if you don't know where you're going. From Gateway, turn right on 61st avenue, and then take a left through the industrial area. The bakery is on the right with parking overlooking Argyll.
  
  I got some plain white bread, a few treats (almond slice and marzipan kipfel), and the coveted bienenstich, another personal favourite growing up.
  
  The bread was good but the desserts were a disappointment. The almonds on the bienenstich were soggy, like it had been made a few days before. The marzipan crescent was really dried out.
  
  Freshness is key to a bakery! I would have hoped that day-olds would have been sold as such.

  Had a meeting, where to stop. Was mostly a Bee Bell bakery guy but that was closed, a bit further away but well worth the travel. I suspect these guys have a wholesale business, the quality is great, selection seems to vary but is excellent, price reflects the quality. So I loaded up with bakery and had a great event.

  Vienna Bakery has Great Rye bread, Sour Dough Rye Bread, Bagels, Pretzels. And very reasonable prices.
