Meet The Team

Made By AKB has become Calgary’s go-to Indian-Fusion destination. From refined pastries, handcrafted cakes, ethically sourced coffee, renowned cake-in-a-jar and bespoke interior design, the team has introduced Northeast Calgary to its first-ever upscale bakery and café. The AKB team is composed of both global training and local baristas. We draw talent from India, New York, Ukraine, Canada, Hong Kong, Phillippines and more!

Without the skills and dedication of these gifted individuals, we couldn’t bring you handcrafted pastries, wholesome drinks and the most charming bakery nestled in the heart of Calgary.
