Best Desserts : Shananigan’s Coffee, Bistro and Dessert Bar

Oct 1, 2014 | 11:19 AM

Whether it’s chocolate cake, cheesecake or maybe banana cream pie you’re craving Shananigan’s Coffee, Bistro and Dessert Bar is the best place to go in Prince Albert to satisfy you.

All desserts at Shananigan’s are baked fresh in house by Chef Jeannette Kindzerski and her staff.

“Everything that I do here I make from scratch,” said Kindzerski. “We make all different kinds of pies and cheesecakes and tortes and cookies for the kids. You name it we make it here.”

“The cheesecakes are very popular, my pies are very popular, and I have a very nice strawberry lemon torte,” she added.

When guests visit Shananigan’s they always have a variety of dessert options to choose from displayed at the front when they first enter.

“We rotate everything and we usually have four different kinds of pies, we have eight different types of cheesecakes, the strawberry torte is our feature and the carrot cake is one of the best sellers,” she said. 

“Sometimes I make a Crème brûlée which is a French custard and that always goes fast, so like I said it is never the same stuff it is always different,” she added.

Kindzerski said she now also features some gluten-free options and is working on finding either a gluten-free graham cracker or creating a gluten-free sponge cake for the bottom layer of her pies and cheesecakes.

“At the moment I also carry some cookies and some squares that are gluten-free,” she said.

Kindzerski is the head chef and owner of Shananigan’s and since she took over three years ago she has made a number of changes including longer opening hours, featured night meals, a takeout menu and a catering service.

Renovations and improvements included new furniture, carpets and flooring.

“Originally they didn’t do takeout or catering but I have built it up, I spent a lot of money in my kitchen and I have renovated it completely,” she said.

Kindzerski said she now caters for all occasions including weddings, anniversaries and Christmas parties. She said she can also hold private functions within her bistro for functions as large as 60 people.

“I do all occasions of all sizes,” she said. “Whatever you got I can do it.”

It’s not only the desserts that are made fresh at Shananigan’s. Kindzerski said she makes sure everything is prepared in-house from only the best ingredients.

“Everything that I do here I try to do it authentic including with my catering jobs,” she said. “I don’t use any frozen products; all of my vegetables are fresh.”

Shananigan’s also holds featured meal nights including prime rib on Friday’s, East Indian cuisine on Saturday’s and of course their famous brunch on Sundays.
