The 50 best bread shops in Toronto

The bread at Blackbird has its own flavour, their subtle yet unique taste will fill your nose from a block away. My nose always pulls me back in, I can’t just walk by their tiny storefront! I love the wide variety of breads, we’ve tried many new types but my favourite remains the focaccia. My dad loves the sourdough ryes, my mom loves the pastries and my sister is on my team, team focaccia. I often stock up and bring bread when I go visit my fam. It freezes well but you’ll have to slice any unsliced loaves yourself. It is a little on the pricey side and they stopped making my favourite focaccia (pecorino) almost a year ago but it remains on the menu which makes me hopeful and then disappointed every time I go. The original taste is owed to the sourdough starter that’s been a family heirloom of sorts. Mad respect. Make sure you go earlier in the day if you have a specific or tall order as some breads sell out and they’re all made early in the morning.

oh my god these pastries were delectable. We went early on a Monday morning, and while a lot of the neighboring stores were closed, the smell of fresh pastries really drew us in. I had the pesto tomato pastry and also the almond croissant. Both were so fresh, flaky, and full of great flavor. This might have been the best almond croissant I’ve ever had. Loved it

Delicious baked goods in an interesting neighborhood! I had a drip coffee and a kouign-amann. As soon as I finished my pastry I wanted another. Definitely stop by if you are in Toronto and take a stroll around Kensington Market. Seating is limited but was no problem for us when we arrived shortly after opening on a Saturday.

Ordered an apple pastry from here and it was affordable and very very delicious! I thought they were Amish but nope they just make good pastries. I wish the place was bigger though so i could lounge, work, and savor the baked goods... but other than that, all was perfect.

Chocolate croissant wasn't as flaky as I'd like. The danishes were well made but a tad sweet.

This bakery is special. You can tell it is loved by the locals for the wide selection of fresh breads but it’s worth a stop as a visitor for the pastries. The buckwheat financiers are exceptional. An excellent lemon tart, and viennoiserie as well.

Updated , I’m glad to hear that . Thank you for your response. I’ll visit again on the weekend. ======================== The multigrain bread is fresh and soft. Even though I ate it right after buying, I noticed quite a bit of stale smell and aftertaste. I’m curious if there’s a particular reason for using a lot of preservatives. I’d appreciate it if you could share the reason in the comments.

A nice cozy place but definitely struggling with space crunch due to the hype. Barring the space to place yourself, everything on the menu is a must try. We had the garlic cheese n chives danish with oat flat white for a sweet n savory combo. This was followed by their breakfast muffins, which, in all honesty was just ok. The margarita focaccia was surprisingly good. A must try. Recommend going sooner than you expect the crowd to be low. We also took home a loaf of their classic bread. :) 8/10

Wow cannot describe how good the cardamom knot was! All the pastry’s looked amazing, will be coming back to try more and get some bread! 🍞 The coffee was phenomenal 15/10 🤤☕️ Very much worth the drive from Burlington for this gem!

food is 5 star, coffee on the other hand is not, it did not taste good. In regards on food: we ordered a breakfast sandwich with extra bacon (+0.50) and it was super good, simple but tasty, it comes in a english muffin that was very soft, also a smoked turkey sandwich, this was the best of all, really nice, bread was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, also ordered a bird hearth bread (sliced) to take home, liked it. When it comes to sweets we tried brownie and salted chocolate chip cookie, for me it a must try, chewy and not over sweet, the right amount of sweet and salt! I would go back but for the food only!

Came in to try the breakfast sandwich, the Brod latte, and their special pastry. The Brod latte was interesting, I’ve never had something quite like it before. It was good to try, but it didn’t wow me enough to order again. That said, I can see how it could really hit the spot for someone else with different tastes. Unfortunately, they were out of arugula, so I couldn’t experience the breakfast sandwich as it’s meant to be served. I had already paid before they mentioned this, which put me in a bit of an awkward spot. Even so, the sandwich was still really good, and the pastry was a nice touch. Overall, I’d say the food was solid. And honestly, when it comes to a great breakfast sandwich, the “special sauce” is always starting with amazing bread, which they definitely know how to do. I’d definitely come back again!

I just had the most buttery almond croissant I have ever tasted. Best paired with a nice cup of flat white. The staff were all friendly. Would visit again.

Picked up a cardamom twist and a flat white. Both were fantastic. Would love to come back and try more treat and the breads.

Went midday on Friday and only waited about 2 minutes in line. I had an americano, yummy coffee blend, not bitter! I also had a smoked salmon sandwich. The bagel it came in was so nutty/toasty and delicious. The labne was a nice twist to the typical cream cheese. I also had a pain suisse that I ate next day and it stayed moist and yummy. I was able to sit inside. Just time your visit, and it lives up to the hype. Smells like heaven!

Love this place! They have some of the best grab-and-go breakfast options in the city, and the cookies are a must — you really can’t go wrong with any of them. They’re a bit pricey for how small they are, but absolutely worth it for the quality and flavor. Not much outdoor seating, but there’s some available inside for when you want to enjoy your treats on the spot.

I got a recommendation to try this place in Toronto and I have to say that the culinary experience was somewhat underwhelming. Thing is - we went in with high expectations given the buzz, and I was a bit disappointed with the food. Not that it’s not good - on the contrary, if you like bread and pastries, this place does it well - but when it comes to breakfast sandwiches, I felt they were bland. Their coffee s good though - and they have this open kitchen concept which I thought was cool. Overall, it’s still is a place to try given the quality of the ingredients used - but if you like flavors - you might wanna stay away from the egg sandwiches. It’s also on the pricey side - we paid 43$ for 2 sandwiches and 2 flat whites + 1 baba au rhum.

Everything I've tried has been delicious, from the cookies (my absolute favourite is amaretti di pistacchio) to the pizza slices which usually have seasonal toppings. You can tell the coffee is great quality. The staff is really lovely as well.

I was really impressed with the quality here! The bread is incredibly fresh and has a unique, interesting flavor. I tried one of their sandwiches and it was absolutely delicious — super fresh, tasty, and well put together. Definitely worth a visit if you appreciate good bread and quality ingredients!

Forno Cultura on King has terrific coffee, excellent sandwiches, and a cozy, authentic vibe that makes you want to linger. The cappuccino I ordered was fantastic — rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. My partner and I also loved the sandwiches; you can tell the ingredients are fresh and the bread is top quality. One small thing: unless I completely missed it, there didn’t seem to be a clear coffee menu inside. We ended up ordering a bit blindly, but luckily everything turned out great. There’s a chance I just didn’t spot it, but it might be helpful if the options were a little more visible for first-time visitors. The only other downside was how warm it was inside — even on a mild fall day (around 20°C), it felt noticeably hot. Otherwise, this place is outstanding and well worth a visit for anyone who loves great coffee, fresh food, and a relaxed café atmosphere.

I had high hopes for Forno Culture given all the buzz, but overall it was just okay. The sandwiches were fresh, but nothing particularly stood out in terms of flavor. Bread was decent, but a bit too chewy for my liking. The ingredients seemed good quality, but the combinations felt kind of safe and uninspired. Service was friendly, Prices are on the higher side, and I didn’t feel the experience or food quite justified the cost. Not a bad place by any means, but I’m not in a rush to come back. Might give it another try in the future to see if things improve.

I feel like for a bakery, it was disappointing for the worst part of the sandwiches to be the bread. Very hard and dry, I fear they gave us bread from days before. The much drool sandwich was really good in its fillings but the rest I just couldn’t finish. I’m not sure if I’d go back.

Great sausage rolls and great chocolate chip oatmeal cookies! Made by hand and the service was lovely, by friendly folks who clearly love what they're doing. You have to pay for premium ingredients and the time it's made with care, so be forewarned it's not cheap, but it's worth it for a treat!

4.66 Stars. Just ate the pretzel bun ($1.49) at home - warmed it up and added Kielbasa and old cheddar with mustard - it was good. Service was great, changed our selection and so lovely about it. Bought a couple vegan items to share with family and they look great. We considered cool drinks but they were a bit pricey. I would recommend going here for sure.

We were walking in the area when we wanted something sweet and saw this bakery. They had a vast collection of items and we ended up going with the brownie. This is one of the most decadent brownies I've had as it had a good, harder texture on the outside and fudgy on the inside which made it so great. We shared one brownie between the two of us and it definitely hit the spot. They also have warm drinks available which I may get the next time I'm here.

I was at the bakery recently with a friend, sitting in the back enjoying some empanadas, when things got really uncomfortable. One of the staff members, a woman in a dress who seemed to be in charge… started yelling at another employee. It was loud enough that we both looked at each other, unsure of what was going on. The girl at the front noticed we were clearly uncomfortable and came to the back to quietly close the door. It felt like an attempt to remove us from the yelling, which we appreciated. The whole situation shouldn’t have happened, though. The food was good, but the atmosphere was completely thrown off. Hope the staff get treated better.

I had the sausage roll, which had a generous amount of meat. The chocolate croissant was buttery and flaky with a great chocolate-to-pastry ratio. There's limited seating available, and paid street parking is also limited.

Friendly staff and great bread. I especially appreciate that they cut the bread for you. I don't know why but most bakeries in Toronto don't cut the bread. This for me is a great selling point, I don't mind walking a.bit more if they can cut the bread for me.

Decent bakery with lots of interesting options. I tried their chai latte, almond chocolate croissant, and date square. My favorite was the croissant even though it wasn’t that fresh. I just wish they had seating spaces and didn’t use tea bags for their chai latte.

The place smells really fresh and of a good bakery... I had the scone and the chocolate croissant... The bread seemed very very delicious as well. I will get it next time maybe... The service was quick... The ambience was nice... I would for sure come back to this place...

Freshly baked breads. Love the olives and coriander sour dough loaf, so fragrant and delicious. Little expensive at $8:50 but totally worth for the quality & taste. Would want to try out their other breads and bakery items.

From the tiny unpretentious store front you’ll find helpful and humble staff that have same day freshly made Sourdough breads that are fantastic. The star of the Sourdough bread lineup for me is the deliciously terrific Cilantro Olive Sourdough loaf, and keep in mind this is all created with people who care and try to better the lives and human condition of others by feeding us the most basic of ingredients, the scones are just as delicious.

This bakery has great quality of everything they bake. Bread is baked fresh daily. I love coming here every Saturday morning to get a couple of their delicious blueberry scones. Get there early because it's usually gone by noon.

AMAAAAZING breads!! The olive cilantro loaf is my favourite. Their great service and delish baked goods are only made better by their employment mission. Always happy to support a business that’s doing so much good.

Picked up a loaf of bread from this bakery, very fresh and tasted amazing. Would highly recommend.

Finally wandered in here a couple of weeks ago after ages of meaning to, and I’m so glad I did. The people here are so sweet and friendly. I got a Celtic sourdough loaf, blueberry scone, and an americano. The scones are delicious and not overly sweet, and the coffee! Omg it was perfect, really hit the spot. The bread was really good. This will be a new go to on morning walks moving forward. It was super clean, bright, and airy inside too. So warm and welcoming 💜

What can I say, people in pairie boy bread know what they are doing!! Great sourdough bread workshop. Very recommended if u want to buy bread or take a workshop. My wife and I loved every minute of it. Thank you John for the experience.

This is a fabulous little spot that should not be missed. All organic, all small farms are the mandate of Prairie Boy. 5am the baking starts and goes all day creating glorious breads, pastries, quiches and so much more. Drop in for a coffee, watch the bakers and leave with many loaves. Please follow @joannasable on instagram for more food fun.

So nice to have this bakery in our neighbourhood. Always fresh and friendly staff. I love their croissants and rye bread.

This was an amazing time! Well worth the wait. So much info and hands on. Love that it was hands on. We also came home with a sourdough bread you make, dough ready to make a loaf the next day, 2 kg of two different types of flour and, a sourdough starter! Thank you Prairie Boy for sharing this with me! Cheers

Just took a bread making class here and thought it was really awesome. John was very informative and taught us the sourdough technique from scratch. It was a long class at just a tad over 3 hrs but it was well worth it for a beginner like me. Went home with a loaf, some dough, starter, two bags of flour, and some detailed instructions. Will recommend anyone who’s interested in making bread from scratch to try this class.

Very good sourdough bread. In my opinion, the best sourdough bread in the city. The loaves look beautiful and the bread is airy with a noticeable sourdough taste. I appreciate also having the option of pre-sliced sandwich style bread. I've also been buying this bread to make homemade croutons (photo attached). I've also had the baguettes and the small buns. I appreciated the explanation for why Prairie Boy bread uses commerical baker's yeast to make their baguettes. I highly recommend this place

Had coffee and shared two sandwiches. Everything was delicious! Staff was super nice. Prices were a little high for the sandwiches but you can tell it’s quality. Loaves of bread are amazing.

This is a good place to stop in for especially to take out and walk around the Kensington market or bringing home or for a gift. Place is clean and products are properly merchandised without any cross contamination. Products are tasty but a little on the pricy side. Overall for the gluten free audience this is a great place. If you don’t need their specific food requirements it would make more sense to try alternatives.

Wow soo many options ! I tried a cupcake and this jalapeño cheddar scone, miam ! Not dry at all, flavourful, I wish we had that shop in Montreal ! Everything is vegan and gf 🥰

We hired Bunner's to make a gluten free and vegan cake for our wedding and had an amazing experience! They were so easy to work with, and created a cake with the exact vision I had in mind. It also tasted amazing - Bunner's makes the BEST gluten free and vegan desserts, and I am so glad we used them for our wedding! We highly recommend them as a wedding vendor!

Bunner’s Bakeshop is honestly such a gem! I love that everything here is gluten-free, vegan, and nut-free it’s such a relief knowing you don’t have to double-check or worry about what’s in your food. The staff are always so kind and welcoming, and you can really tell they care about what they do. Everything I’ve tried has been super good fresh, flavourful, and made with love. Definitely one of my favourite spots for a treat I can actually feel good about!

Incredible Experience with Bunners! We had the absolute pleasure of working with Hannah from Bunners for our vegan, gluten-free wedding cake, and the experience was nothing short of amazing from start to finish. Hannah made the entire process fun, stress-free, and truly reflective of Bunners’ warm and vibrant brand personality. Not only was the cake stunning to look at, but it was hands-down one of the best vegan gluten-free desserts we’ve ever tasted—our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! The creativity, attention to detail, and love that went into every step of the process really showed. Bunners exceeded every expectation, and we couldn’t imagine celebrating such a special day without them. If you’re looking for a cake that’s as delicious as it is memorable, Bunners is the one!

So happy to find a vegan bakery with super tasty muffins and such friendly service! As a vegan, it’s rare to find good muffins, so this place really made my day. Hopefully, we’ll see more vegan spots and stores like this soon!

This gluten-free and vegan bakery is a must-try in the city for delicious baked goods! Highly recommended for anyone looking for gluten-free options.

Emmer is truly next-level. I had the best croissant I’ve ever tasted — and that’s coming from someone who’s had them in France and New York. Everything we tried was phenomenal, from the pastries to the perfectly spiced chai. The customer service was just as impressive — warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. It was all so good, I couldn’t leave without buying a T-shirt to rep Emmer in the Caribbean. A must-visit for any pastry lover in Toronto! Thank you so much Emmer team.

This bakery is quite underwhelming. The croissant I tried was far from impressive. The plain croissant had a nice crispy exterior, the inside was nearly raw. The Shakshuka Brioche was disappointing as well as it resembled a pizza more than anything else, completely masking the flavor of the eggs. Overall, my experience here was poor, especially considering the quality of other bakeries I've visited. I will not be returning.

This is one of my favorite bakery that you must try! Their croissants are simply amazing. Plain croissant is great but my personal favorite is pistachio croissant! However, it only comes out at specific time so please make sure to check their website or Instagram prior to your visit. You also can't pay for specific bakery in advance. You have to be there at the right exact time! I know it is troublesome but I guarantee you that if you are pistachio lover and serious about top notch bakery, this is the place!

Update: We came back earlier in the morning, and got to try some new stuff. I highly suggest coming early to get the pistachio croissant (limit 2 per customer). —— This is one of those places that everyone seems knows about in Toronto. Didn’t know what to try so we got a giant sesame bread (delicious and enormous), a chocolate chip cookie 🍪❤️, a dark chocolate croissant 🥐🥰 and a piece of strawberry snacking cake (loved the name). There’s still so much to try so we will be back 💯

Best pistachio croissant in the city, and I’ve tasted many. Great texture and I love that there’s not a lot of pistachio cream in the middle. Also had the breakfast egg muffin and it was delish. Homemade sausage patty was juicy and flavourful. They have outdoor seating so you can actually eat there.

Absolutely phenomenal! I have to admit that these are some of the best pastries I’ve ever had in my lifetime. The blueberry cream danish was heavenly, the sausage rolls were delicious and the perfect size, and the ham and leek quiche was so buttery and delicious. Our group would have continued to order more items from the menu if we had the stomach room for it. Flat whites were a perfect addition to the pastries. The covered patio outside was so lovely and relaxing. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend- get here early.. you won’t regret it. 🥰

🥐 Pistachio Croissant (Second Batch @ 12:45pm Saturday): Finally got my hands on it! Topped generously with crushed pistachios — visually satisfying. But I personally prefer the one from Ottawa where the filling is denser, almost like a soft mung bean cake — smooth and rich. Emmer’s version had less filling than expected. 🌰 Almond Croissant – Pretty standard. Might’ve been a bit cold, so it didn’t wow me. Just okay. 🍯 Cinnamon Morning Bun – Quite sweet, but nothing surprising. A bit underwhelming overall. ✨ If you’re going, the pistachio croissant is still worth chasing! Just make sure to check what time the second batch comes out.

Consistent espresso like their other location on Queen. Nice atmosphere. Lots of seating including a spacious upper level. Also, outdoor seating on a nice day. This one, I believe, has more sitdown food options whereas I prefer the other one for market items. Clean bathrooms w/o needing a key. Don't bother with the place across the street.

Complementary bread and olive oil were nice . The truffle pasta - sauce January great and pasta texture is excellent but sausage is in small pieces that is very unappealing as like already chewed food. The truffle did not taste fresh. I won’t order it again.

At Sud Forno, I had the chance to try their latte and tiramisu, and both were excellent. The latte was smooth and well-balanced — the espresso was rich but not overpowering, perfectly complemented by creamy, velvety milk. It’s the kind of coffee that feels crafted with care. The tiramisu was light yet indulgent, with just the right amount of sweetness and a lovely coffee aroma. The texture was airy but creamy, and the cocoa dusting on top added a perfect finishing touch. It reminded me of the traditional Italian dessert but with a fresh, modern twist. Together, these two made for a comforting and satisfying treat. Sud Forno clearly pays attention to quality and detail, making it a great spot for both coffee lovers and dessert fans alike.

The service quality has improved significantly since last year and I like the fact that there’s no time limit for laptop users. Plenty of sittings and consistently good coffee. The verity of pastry at this location is usually not as wide as their other locations. Amazing photo shot atmosphere.

We’ve been there for lunch and tried their pasta — it was good. I’d like to try their pizza as well. I also like their bread

After a morning of back-to-back meetings (and being ghosted twice in between), I decided to take myself out for lunch—best decision ever. I stumbled upon a friend-recommended spot on Yonge and went straight for their much-praised pistachio cornetto (cornetto al pistachio, as the sign proudly says in Italian). One bite and I was done for—the pistachio cream, the crunchy bits, the soft pastry, all glued together by a layer of white-chocolate icing. Totally indulgent, definitely not healthy, but hey—today’s workout justifies it. The vibe works for everyone: suited-up office warriors, daydreaming wanderers like me, and tourists looking for a quick bite. Downtown Toronto really delivers.

I had a great time! The croissants are very delicious. Seating area upstairs is spacious. Very friendly and approachable staff!

They have the best apple crumble pie I’ve ever had!! There was no wait, service was pretty quick and they warmed up my apple pie. I also got the 6inch pumpkin pie, it was alright but I’ve had better and wouldn’t get it again. They had a really nice patio and plenty of seating, it was very pleasant. I look forward to coming back and trying their other yummy pies!

there are so many choices of pies and treats at wanda’s, but honestly i think the best thing you can get is the pear cheddar grilled cheese — IT WAS PRETTY DARN AMAZING. while the sourdough bread was grilled to a crunchy crispy perfection, the interior was full of warm, melty, gooey, mellow-tasting cheese; a generous amount of wonderfully softened sweet, fruity pear slices; and silky soft caramelized onions. it may not look like an impressive sandwich, but its super comforting and absolutely perfectly for fall. on the other hand, i don’t think wanda’s pies were super lifechanging. they weren’t super fresh, the crust wasn’t very buttery or prominent, and the fillings were just quite sweet and mushy — although it’s not like they were bAD pies. i tried the apple crumble pie, which was full of a strong tart apple flavour; the pumpkin pie, which was like a creamy and light mousse that didn’t have a very strong pumpkin/spice taste like i was expecting??? and the bottom felt a bit underbaked and soggy; the chocolate pecan pie, which was mostly a very syrup-like sweet paste with large chunks of nutty pecan to balance the sugariness; and the carrot cake, which was honestly very disappointing because the frosting was just way too thick and sweet for me. also, they didn’t have ice cream/whipped cream when i went, and my “heated” apple crumble pie was not really warm at all which was sad. there are also a LOT of bees and flies and birds flying if you’re dining in.

Star of the show was the key lime pie. Just delicious! Really fun and eclectic vibe, suits the Kensington area well. Fun to eat pie while people watching out on the patio. There’s a piano inside where a patron was playing a silly little tune. I love places like this.

Cool place to grab a pie and a coffee in Kensington market. Staff are friendly and professional. It can be a bit hectic in the weekends, but the vibes are great. Come here for a good bite and cup of Joe.

Went there to try the World Series, Coconut Cream Pie, that Joe Carter had the morning before he won the baseball series for Toronto. I can see why...the crust was flaky and moist, the cream was light and delicate. The filling of the pie had the perfect sweetness too. Definetly a pie worthy of a championship title. Love Kensington Market atmosphere, with patio sitting in front of bakery. A couple of dine in seats as well. Layout of bakery was good and staff were pleasant. Definetly will be returning to try more of Wanda's pies.

I placed a custom order for a German Chocolate Cake (10”) for $70 + tax, and also picked up two small Coconut Cream Pies and a slice of Mango Cheesecake, spending around $130 in total. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with everything I tried. Since this is a local, artisanal bakery, I was expecting desserts made from scratch using pure ingredients, but that clearly wasn’t the case. The coconut filling on the German Chocolate Cake tasted artificial, more like a sugary, out of box, paste mixed with sweetened shredded coconut and pecans, rather than the traditional cooked filling made with butter, eggs, milk, and coconut. There was no depth of flavor, just a strange, dry, artificial icing-like texture. This was meant to be a 10” cake for a group of 10, but I had 15 people at my event, and as you can see from the photos, almost no one ate it. The Coconut Cream Pies were also very underwhelming, lacking flavour entirely. The Mango Cheesecake was the best of the bunch, but still nothing memorable. Overall, I was disappointed by both the taste and quality of the cakes and pies. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend anything from this bakery.

We stopped here for a quick bite whilst exploring Kensington Market. I liked the unique character, quirky decor with lots of ornamental displays. The plain cheese sandwich, strata and pie all hit the spot.

I've been coming here for years, and always for their incredible 10 lb loaf of bread. It's absolutely fresh & delicious and worth the trip every time. Over the years, they've expanded their selection to include all kinds of pastries, cakes, and other baked goodies. There's even a cozy little café area where you can sit and enjoy a coffee with your treat. Just a heads-up: it's cash only, so come prepared!

Cash only. Fun to be able to see the factory floor. Great bakery and many fresh items made throughout the day. The pastries are so good. Staff are very friendly. Seems like a popular place for an afternoon tea/coffee. Clean facility. Clean washrooms. No Free WiFi. Pretty expensive in general. The dining area has some nice art. It can be messy and hot from the sun though. Lines can be long and slow.

Danishes are excellent, pastry is soft and filling is tasty. Don't skip on the cherry, easily the best thing here. Breads are also fresh, the rye is ny go to, as well as the pretzel buns for sandwiches and hot dogs. Don't forget to grab a coffee on the way out its brewed fresh.

It's my first time here. Wow, I was in bakery heaven. From bread to pastries. So many things, I bought a lot of bread. It's a cash only place. Have a look at my pictures and press the like button! If you like what I do, press the follow button to see what I do next.

New added options (New Pretzel Buns and Oat Bubs) are so good. Wide variety of breads, donuts, and dessert; fresh and tasty. Chocolate Danish and Cheese Danish are the best pastries; Pretzel buns are amazing. Nice and friendly staff. I would give them 5 stars if it weren't "only cash".

Delicious Classic Rye Bread Dimpflmeier Bakery never disappoints! Their Pumpernickel Delicatessen Rye Bread is rich, dense, and full of that classic rye flavor — perfect for sandwiches or on its own. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and while you can find their breads in many stores, nothing beats picking one up fresh at the bakery.

Their croissants are so delicious that you have to get there early or they are sold out. Cash only so be prepared. Great selection of breads and buns made fresh daily.

Nov2024 Casual, no frills, and rustic bakery at the Historical Distillery complex that serves a wide range of baked goods and dishes. The sandwiches are huge and the listed menus are varied. Tastes are diverse to appeal to plenty of diners. The brewed coffee is typical drip type strong and cloudy. Service is counter takeaway style. Downside is that you need request for napkins despite them having a diy sermvice takeaway counter. No driniking water as well. Dining nooks are limited to small stalls and counters. Ideal for takeaways and very quick bites.

We stumbled upon this little gem while wandering through the Distillery District this Sunday morning looking for a place to sit and grab some breakfast. A lot of places did not seem to be open despite it being after 10am. Entered and were immediately greeted and after a short look around proceeded to order two breakfast sandwiches and a couple hot beverages. Service was super friendly and quick and the breakfast sandwich was over the top! FRESH, Tasty and a generous portion! Served on delicious whole wheat bread this was really a great food experience! The bakery has a cool vintage vibe and feels like a local bistro should. They do have a good selection of take out which we will definitely try at a later visit. There are stools and a small area on each side to enjoy your food or drink on site which we took advantage of. Thanks Brick St. ! Excellent Espresso too! ☕️

Perhaps it was just that I went after peak time, I'll extend the benefit of doubt. I was excited to have a Cornish pasty, I haven't had one in years, unfortunately it was a bit too dry and too salty. I didn't finish it. I had a butter croissant that had maybe been out a little longer than ideal but it was also quite dry. My coffee was burnt and bitter, I only managed a few sips. The staff member was friendly, the atmosphere got my hopes up, it's just too bad my expectations weren't met. Hopefully my experience is an outlier.

I was slightly disappointed. I love Portuguese egg tarts- these were acceptable- but missing something- I love when there is a hint of almond flavor- which these did not have. The cheesecake tart also disappointed me- really didn’t have much flavor at all. The iced latte was quite good. Just wish it had less ice and more latte.

This bakery has a casual, down-to-earth vibe. However, the prices felt a bit on the higher side. We ordered the Coronation Chicken sandwich and the Egg Salad sandwich. The fillings were tasty, but the bread was quite hard and dry, which made the soft fillings spill out as we ate—ending up a bit messy. Napkins aren’t placed out on a shelf for self-service, and they don’t seem to be provided unless you ask, so I’d recommend requesting a few when you pay. On the patio, pigeons and sparrows quickly gather around the tables, likely drawn by the crumbs. If you’re not comfortable around birds, just be aware—they do come quite close. While this visit was a bit disappointing overall, there were some other items—like tarts and pot pies—that looked really good, so I’d like to come back and try those next time.

Never had any disappointing products from this bakery and this is my go to sweets pick up place whenever I am in distillary district. This time I got minced meat tart, pecan butter tart, two different kinds of brownies. All of them were like homemade excellent comforting dessert.

a lovely little bakery/cafe right by the main entrance to the District. During warm months there are tables/umbrellas outside - for extra seating space - sadly now (November) they are gone. there are still some tall chairs by the windows available inside. a great place to grab something substantial - a good selection of sandwiches, pastries (including savoury - with some vegetarian options like the delicious Curry Veggie or Spinach FetaTurnovers). There are also sweet croissants and cookies and pies. Plus good coffee/hot beverages. you could also buy bread there - with many interesting varieties. Watch out for pigeons hanging out by the door, they are always trying to sneak in for some tasty crumbs ;)

Nice gluten free bakery. Prices are a little high, but that’s normal for gluten free. It was very busy and the line moved slow at first, but everyone is excited to try the coffee and baked goods. I would’ve liked to see some pastries like croissants, but they are harder to make gluten free I am sure. I had one of the cookies, which was big and sweet.

The cutest Cafe and Bakery! The vanilla iced coffee from here is so good and has become one of my favourites! They also have so many Dairy free and Gluten Free sweets. As someone with a dairy sensitivity this is the perfect spot! I highly recommend stopping by 💕

This was just a great find west of the U of T St. George campus and the Spadina streetcar. Handheld sandwiches took about 15 minutes for our orders, and they were served warm and were great with plenty of fresh veggies. Gluten-free bread was soft yet firm in holding the sandwiches together. Nuts present, with one peanut butter cookie offering. GF cupcake with no nuts was not a cross-contamination issue for us with also a peanut allergy. There are 5 bar seats facing our the window and a couple small tables outside.

Fantastic iced soy latte, I got it every time! The baked goods are incredible, even compared to ones with gluten. In many cases (unless they're also vegan), I couldn't even tell they were gluten-free. If also vegan or dairy-free, things are often missing something, like moisture or texture. I also tried most of the cupcakes: -vanilla/chocolate is excellent -PB cup with chocolate cupcake base is the BEST imo -chocolate espresso is very good -s'mores is okay My favorite baked item is the Paleo Muffin! Dense, yummy, and moist. The peanut butter cookie and sugar cookies are good, but a little crumbly. The chocolate chip cookie (not vegan) is EXCELLENT! Chewy, rich, and well-balanced. The banana pecan muffin is also very good. The hot chocolate is creamy (with whole milk, of course) and delicious. The peanut butter oat energy bites are yummy, too! They often have free cupcake samples and offer day-old baked goods at reduced cost, which I often bought. This is my favorite cafe of a vast many in Toronto!

Normally almond butter butterfly is a 10/10, 5 stars but today one of my cinnamon buns arrived half the size of the other :/ kind of bummed but happy I had them. They’re still delicious just a shame that one is so much smaller

The flourless orange almond cake slice was moist and not too overly sweet. They also sell cupcakes, muffins, coffee, tea and smoothies. For savoury items, they serve all-day breakfast sandwiches, handhelds and flatbreads.

I've never been to a bakery dedicated to gluten-free with so many vegan options. They taste better than most cookies. I'd put them up as the top tier cookie experience. Just fantastic baked goods. They kindly explained to me how they make their baked goods, what kind of flours they use, and some recommendations for me. Highly recommend you try out their gluten-free vegan stuff, it tastes just as good as any excellent baked goods!

I know this bakery has been around for a long time. I've tried and tried to like this bakery but I just cannot recommend it. As far as food presentation is on point. You can see from the photos the zeppole look great however they don't taste the best based on my testing of several other bakeries. The prices at the hot food counter have continued to rise and I now find them unreasonable for what you get. One thing I do like is the Sicilian bread.

Tre Mari Bakery in Toronto is a true gem! Their sfogliatella is hands down the best I've ever had—perfectly crisp, flaky, and filled with rich, flavorful goodness. Every treat here is crafted with care, and the pistachio desserts are absolutely divine. Beyond the incredible pastries, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, thanks to the friendly staff who always greet you with a smile. The customer service is top-notch, making every visit a delightful experience. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality Italian goods, this is the place to be. Highly recommend stopping by—once you do, you'll keep coming back for more!

This long-establish bakery on St.Clair has been serving locals over 60 years! It’s such a lovely bakery with a great vibe. They’ve got baked goods, sandwiches, daily specials, breads, coffee, and even gelato!

A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful cake department at Tre Mari Bakery for their exceptional work and care. The Strawberry Delight cake was absolutely delicious — the custard cream was perfectly smooth and rich, and the fresh strawberries were sweet, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. It was a joy to meet the owner as well; your warmth and passion for the bakery shine through in every detail. The experience left me feeling truly welcomed and valued. Grateful for the kindness, the quality, and the sense of community you bring with every visit.

What a vibe! Wish I could post a bonus star for atmosphere. Walking in takes you right out of Toronto. So warm, vibrant, tons of culture. The food varies from deli to cafe to hot foods.

The most delicious cakes! We ordered a 3/4 slab all vanilla cake for a baptism and it was so delicious. Everyone raved about it, happy to have found our new go-to bakery. We’d love a location in the west end where we live but worth the trek.

This place is so excellent it deserves 5 stars all around. So happy I decided to walk in. 1. Great Lattes for less than $5 on most days. 2. SUPER FAST WIFI - 500 Mbps 3. Opens @7:00 AM every day, including Sundays They really spare no expense in delivering the perfect environment for their guests. Now I understand why they’ve been in business 65 years. Their staff seem to be in a pleasant mood too. It’s amazing - didn’t think I would ever find this in Toronto. Great work!!!!!!!!!

4/5 Amazing little bakery/pastry shop in Leslieville Toronto The Earl 10/10 🙌🏼 Maple Black Walnut Honey Cake 9/10 🙌🏼 Earl Grey Shortbread Cookies 10/10 🙌🏼 These are just some of the treats I tried and they were incredible 4/5 stars because of price it’s not exactly wallet friendly especially when you are ordering large quantities of treats I spent around 57$ on 6 items 🫣 Earl Grey Soft serve is what they are most known for in the summer months but everything they make is made with the best ingredients and the quality is not your typical margarine whip overly sweet kind of dessert it’s definitely worth a visit or two Their hours make it tricky for those outside of Toronto to get their hands on their products as they are only open a few days a week with limited hours and products that run out fast! I still loved my desserts I will be back for their earl grey soft serve 🍦🫖💕

Absolutely outstanding patisserie. Every visit to Roselle feels like a little celebration of taste — their desserts are crafted with remarkable precision, creativity, and genuine passion. The eclairs, mille-feuille, and their signature Earl Grey soft-serve are all executed to perfection. You can sense the French training behind every detail, from textures to balance of flavors. The space is bright and inviting, the staff always kind and attentive, and everything feels thoughtfully designed. Easily one of the best dessert spots in Toronto — refined, consistent, and worth every visit.

I had the fraisier, Earl grey mousse and a slice of mango passion fruit sponge cake. They were all good but I thought overpriced for what they were. Tasted good… but not amazing. The service was nice. I’ve been there for their soft serve with strawberries sundae and it was good but, again, I found it more expensive than what I thought it was worth.

Roselle doesn’t just do desserts, they do works of art you can eat — and “Next Level” soft serve is exactly that. Imagine Earl Grey tea got dressed up for a Michelin-star gala, then decided to throw in a zesty lemon surprise just to keep things playful. The swirl itself is impossibly creamy, perfumed with tea in the most delicate, elegant way. Then they go ahead and crown it with lemon curd, crisp pearls that crunch like tiny fireworks, and a buttery sable cookie just to remind you they’re not messing around. Every bite had me questioning if I should slow down to savor… or speed up before someone tried to steal it. Verdict: gone in minutes. This isn’t just ice cream. This is Next Level living. Would 100% recommend — bring a friend, but order your own because sharing is not realistic.

I live an hour away and roselle is most certainly worth the trek to this neighborhood. I wish they had longer hours. My fav things are the soft serve , the earl grey cake and the banana eclairs are to die for! The flavours are just perfect and not sickingly sweet. I thin the joke is they try and cater to Asian palates. I also appreciate how they partner with local producers for seasonal fruit items. I tried the corn cake on Friday and it was so unique and delicious. I dream about Roselle and it is my favourite bakery in Toronto !

Roselle is a hidden gem tucked into the heart of Corktown. It's my favourite go-to dessert spot in the neighbourhood, and often claims a lineup down the street (but don't worry, it moves fast). The Earl Grey ice cream and birthday cake cups are my personal favourites.

Ordered the 9inch earl grey cake from roselle for the first time and let me tell you, it was the BEST earl grey cake I’ve had in my entire life. It’s so worth the price and my boyfriend and his friends really really enjoyed it. Everyone asked where I got it from. Will definitely be returning for future birthday orders 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The prices are reasonable and every pastry I tried was delicious. I went a bit late, so some of the ones I wanted were already sold out. But I picked up almost everything that was left in the display fridge (except the whole cakes), and they were all great. I especially liked that nothing was too sweet. The level of sweetness was just right. Not really a complaint, but if I had to point out something, everything is takeout only, even if you want to dine in. Also, maybe because it’s so popular, many items sell out quickly. I really wanted to try the strawberry yogurt something and the chocolate something cake, but they were already gone. I live a bit far, so I’m not sure when I can go again, but I definitely want to come back for more!

This is my favourite type of small BUISNESS. Owed and operated by artisans proud of their creations. Proud they should be. Wonderful bakery. My favourite item was the puff pastry filled with perfectly balanced apple and cinnamon. Clean and well lit.

Consistently excellent and beautiful pastries. Wonderful boutique bakery, also has espresso drinks.

The mont blanc was delicious and the cream puff was filled with so much yummy vanilla cream. Both desserts were amazing!

My family recently got some savoury and sweet pastries from this little patisserie and everything was absolutely lovely! For savoury, we got their Croissant Sandwiches including Egg Salad and Ham & Cheese. Both were flaky, delicious, and you could tell were freshly made! For sweet we got a Dark Chocolate Tart and two Matcha Tiramisu cakes, which were all pieces of art. The Matcha Tiramisu was creamy, luscious, light and not overly sweet. They were my favourite of the whole bunch and were absolutely DIVINE! We also got four of their Cream Puffs and one Coffee Chocolate Tart. The Cream Puffs were so fluffy and not overly sweet. The Coffee Chocolate Tart was also fantastic. Their other pastries and danishes are luscious! The staff were helpful and prompt at packing our rather large to-go order! This is a lovely place for pastries, whether you’re craving sweet or savoury!

Did you know French croissants made in Tokyo taste better than those made in Paris? Fortunately, we're able to experience the same Japanese influence locally, right here. Everything this little pastry shop makes is the best, including a high variety of French puffed pastry as well as beautiful pies and cakes, prepared sandwiches, salads and more. You will not be disappointed. Upd 06/15/2024 Always the best, Absolutely!

Amazing pastries and staff. We had the raspberry jam French beignet and the French toast. The French toast was amazing, do not sleep on that. The raspberry jam was very good. It is a little pricey and they only take credit over $10 so bring cash or debit. I highly recommend this bakery.

I’ve just had one of the worst experiences ever seeing my cake. I decided to get a Formula 1 themed cake with the cake being the wheel of a Formula 1 car. This is not what I received at all. First of all, I went in store to ask about cakes and they told me to only email them. They didn’t even ask me about pictures to see if it was even possible or not and I’m pretty sure they didn’t even ask about allergies or dietary restrictions. Onto the cake itself, The Pirelli logo was lazy, the rim itself was lazy and looks nothing near sporty at all. They ended up free-styling the cake to THEIR OWN LIKING as they included some random ugly yellow lines at the back of the cake that I can’t even tell what it’s supposed to be. They attached a toy car which I did not ask for which I later removed on my own and which was supposed to be put on my cousins cake and they misspelled the writing on my cousins cake as well. After all the negotiating of trying to get them to make a helmet shaped cake which they couldn’t do apparently for the size I wanted which wasn’t too small, I had to end up buying this lazy work for a ridiculous price of $160. Absolutely horrid.

Victoria’s outstanding service made my experience at Rustic Bakery truly exceptional. She was incredibly responsive, addressing all my inquiries with patience and expertise. Her professionalism and insightful recommendations showcased her deep knowledge and dedication. What stood out most was her customer-first approach—she genuinely prioritized my needs, ensuring a personalized and seamless experience. Rustic Bakery’s commitment to exceptional service is evident through Victoria’s efforts, making every visit memorable. If you’re looking for a place that values both quality food and outstanding hospitality, Rustic Bakery is the perfect choice. I highly recommend it for an unparalleled customer experience!

Been coming here for years but this is the first time I've experienced such terrible customer service. After purchasing a bunch of items from the hot table, asked to get a large container of potatoes that the sign shows is $8 - only to be told its $15!! Whomever the guy is with glasses running the cash register is not fit to be any sort of manager, the complete lack of accountability is astounding. He simply says 'oh yea its a mistake but we won't honor it' which leads me to believe its likely been like that for months (at least) and I guess because they get a good amount of foot traffic he just doesn't care. I could understand if it was $1 or $2 more but not practically double the cost, absolutely crazy to advertise one price and say another with not a single thought about customer service.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 We ordered a custom baci-themed Toronto Maple Leafs cake for my mother’s 80th birthday from Rustic Bakery — and it was absolutely perfect! Not only did it look amazing, but the flavour was outstanding. The team at Rustic Bakery were fantastic to work with — friendly, professional, and accommodating, even on a long weekend. I placed the order on Saturday and was able to pick it up today with no issues. Everything from the design to the taste to the customer service was top-notch. Thank you for making this special occasion even more memorable!

Was in the area and heard about this bakery so figured I'd drop in to check it out. Bought some fresh baked cookies/biscuits. Assorted flavors. Got back to the car, and tried them out. They were nasty!! Sorry to say but the only decent one out of the batch was the pistachio biscuit. Not sure why people are raving about this place.

Thank you to Bianca at Rustic Bakery for helping me with my sandwich! Super friendly and made sure everything was just right—really appreciated the great service. Will definitely be back! 🥪✨

Amazing place with a huge selection of treats. Everything was fresh n delicious

Small restaurant with a simple, but wide range of food options Food is flavourful and fresh. Sourdough bread is amazing! Service was good, but it gets quite busy and it’s a small restaurant

Excellent food and lovely staff. This is a small place that is unassuming but the burrata ball and macaroni and cheese were delicious. At first I thought $32 for a cheese ball was a lot, but it was a great portion accompanied with fantastically seasoned tomatoes and crispy bread.

Wyck Recommends: Mattachioni Rating: 3.8/5 Walking into Mattachioni is a humbling experience. No one will say hi. No one will acknowledge your existence. You’ll stand there questioning whether you accidentally broke into someone’s house. But once you get your hands on their focaccia, espresso, and maybe a decent pizza, all is forgiven… almost. The espresso? A shot of pure ambition—smooth, strong, no nonsense. The focaccia? A personal-sized gift from the carb gods—crispy, chewy, topped with just enough roasted tomato to feel artisanal. The pizza? Imagine a Tinder date. Some nights, a perfect match. Other nights, you’re ghosted by quality control. Pros: ✔ Espresso that hits like a motivational speaker on steroids ✔ Focaccia so good it disappears faster than your savings ✔ Fresh-baked cookies were legendary—but like your childhood dreams, they are no more Cons: ✖ Service? Never met her. ✖ Pizza consistency depends on planetary alignment ✖ Popular items vanish instantly—if you hesitate, someone hungrier will take it Final Take: Mattachioni is a social experiment in patience and priorities. If you can survive the existential crisis of being ignored at the counter, you’ll be rewarded with espresso that slaps, focaccia worth fighting for, and a pizza that’s either perfection or a lesson in disappointment. Show up early, move fast, and accept that customer service is just a myth here.

It’s just not….. giving much, yet you’re paying a premium. I say this only because I am willing to pay a premium for a delicious sandwich (or anything delicious), however this left me hungry and disappointed. The service was questionable, I felt as though they were doing me a favour? Also where is the sauce? Any sauce? I can buy a great focaccia many places around Toronto and throw some meat on it - I go to restaurants because I am expecting more. Anyways - great location.

Been coming here for years - one of my fav sandwiches. Ordered the caprese & tuna sandwiches today and was v disappointed :( barely any cheese on the caprese & the tuna had more bits of egg in it than tuna. $40 for Arugula & cherry tomatoes on bread for is mental

Came here with a friend for lunch! They’re both a restaurant and a little bakery. You can buy day old bread for cheaper, alongside all their other products. It’s pretty small, the chairs are a bit high so it was kind of awkward at first, but that’s just small details. The staff were so kind and warm, I loved their energy! My friend got the salad while I got the pizza. The pizza was a bit too oily and it dribbles down as you try to eat it, so it can get messier than you’d like. But you get a side of some kind of chilli on the side so that’s a bonus! I LOVED the crust. It was genuinely thin crust, crispy, airy and chewy. I think they do bread pretty well based on that- I’ll definitely be back to get some! :) Thank you for having me!

I went here with a friend for lunch and we ordered the olives and bread, burrata salad and prosciutto sandwich. Everything was fresh, full of flavour and so satisfying. The bread was all the house made sourdough, which is beautiful in texture and flavour. The atmosphere was chill, relaxed, comfortable. Staff were friendly and attentive. Their wine selection is fantastic. I would highly recommend this spot!

A must visit Jewish Bakery with reasonable n fresh breads, Danish, croissant 🥐 and other eats. Sweet attentive staff . Recommended: Almond croissant Apple blintzes

I have been coming to this bakery for 30 years. The selection of bagels and fresh breads, danish, blintzes, cookies, pies and cakes is based on a daily rotation. Normally, if it isn’t in stock tomorrow or the next day is the baking day I am told, which means that they stick to par levels based on expected sales. It’s best to order ahead of there id something you require. The croissants include: cheese, almond, pistachio Nutella. There is a really good mixed chocolate and pistachio cookie I enjoyed. There are muffins, carrot cakes and pumpkin pies on hand right now. Prices are generally higher than the grocery with some breads actually fairly priced.

A lovely selection of fresh baked goods. Looks like you can put in orders ahead of time for your bread needs. Looks like the fresh bread loaves sell out fast. Lots of loafs, cookies and other sweet bakery goods. They have a small deli type counter suitable to get lunch on the go, with a selection of salads etc. This is is not inexpensive, but you get quality goods.

This bakery shop is one of the best around UofT. It offers a variety of baked goodies and special occasion cake. It also has a deli/salad bar. Customer service is not bad and inside of the store is clean and safe. Items presentation is not the greatest and they can definitely do better. They don’t have signs and the layout of the bakery section is a tad weird. I have it 4 because it doesn’t have vegan options and the prices are on the higher side. Otherwise, if you are around the area and feeling like having a a good muffin or cookies, give Harbord Bakery a try!

This is the best bakery in Toronto. The bread choices are excellent. They also have prepared food, salad, soups, etc. I have tried everything and it is all super delicious! I love the Harbord Bakery.

This is one of the best hidden gems in Toronto. The Gefilite Fish, sweet is amazing. I drive far too buy them. The sourdough onion rye bread is outstanding. Shall I go on?

People were nice. Baked goods were mediocre at best. French loaf was okay. Nanaimo bar was awful. Chocolate chip cookies were bland and stale. Won’t be going back.

I visited this location for the first time. They have a big production area behind where you can see people working. The sitting area is nice and comfy. They have so many kind of pastries, also they sell products like wines, condiments, pastas and so on. I liked their coffee a lot. I almost always order americano as I want to enjoy the taste of coffee. The coffee was strongly flavored and smooth that would match with all kinds of baked goods.

The coffee here is excellent, and the pastries are fresh and delicious. The staff are VERY friendly and make you feel welcome every time. Definitely one of my top 5 coffee shops in Toronto!

Amazing bakery with top-quality ingredients and delightful flavors. Highly recommend for anyone craving artisanal Italian treats!

Excellent bakery with a vast range of sandwiches and baked goods made on site. On this visit we grabbed coffee and sweet treats, but it was exceptionally busy (not a surprise for a Saturday) and seating is limited. Everything was delicious and the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend a visit.

Fantastic Italian bakery with a large variety of pastries, breads, and sandwiches. I ordered an Apollini and a mocha. Both were excellent and tasted fantastic. It was my first time having an apollini and the pastry was well balanced with the lemon cream and the crunch of choux pastry. There’s decent seating available and a large parking lot available if driving. My only complaint is the lack of a visible pricing on the tags or on a printed menu.

Visited here for lunch yesterday. Service was quick and friendly. Our sandwich was fresh and delicious. Chocolate cake desert was incredible. Based on the large sandwich and high quality, prices were very reasonable.

Forno Cultura is a total hidden gem in Queen West and absolutely one of the best spots in the city for Italian sandwiches. If you know, you know—this place takes sandwich-making seriously, and it shows in every bite. Hands down, my favourite is the roasted eggplant and zucchini sandwich on their house-made focaccia. it’s an absolute steal for the quality you’re getting. It’s olive oil-drenched perfection—packed with flavour from the roasted veggies, peppery arugula, and creamy fresh mozzarella. Every ingredient is fresh, simple, and so well-balanced. It’s the kind of sandwich that makes you pause after the first bite and just appreciate it. The vibe at Forno Cultura is relaxed and welcoming, and you can tell the staff really care about what they’re serving. The shelves are lined with imported goods and pantry staples from Italy, so you can stock up while you wait. Whether you’re grabbing lunch, taking something to-go, or just want to treat yourself to one of the most satisfying sandwiches in Toronto, this place is a must. It’s my go-to anytime I’m in Queen West—and honestly, I’d go out of my way for it.

The ossington location is just north of Queen. Everything in this little shop is made in house and are absolutely delicious. There is a patio to sit on outside to enjoy your coffee and course of yummy treats. The scones were nice and crispy on the outside and airy and fluffy on the inside. If your from the city or just visiting g Dear Grain is highly recommended enjoy❤️ and thank me later!!!!

The bread is delicious and very fresh! Giving them 3 starts because they don’t offer to slice your loaf of bread. I understand some people may believe that when the bread still hot can affect the texture of the bread and flavor but as a consumer makes it very hard to slice it at home, specially when you live in a small place and you don’t have a bread slicer :(

What they do here at this not so average bakery, is that they take the art of sourdough and create anything and everything in the pastry world. Whatever you buy from this bakery, you are taking with you not just food, but living nutrients. I tried their spanish omelette breakfast sandwich and it was one of the most divine breakfast sandwiches i have ever tried. They make something that you wouldn’t see everywhere (spanish omelette) and combine it was an ever more house made special SOURDOUGH brioche bun with some perfectly paired spreads, i believe it was pesto and some sort of tomato jam, to create this one of a kind experience. And don’t forget to take home a sweet treat, (sourdough chocolate chip cookie) and a country loaf for your breakfast for the week. What they do here is truly an inspiration for sourdough bakers like myself to experience and learn that there is no limit to baking, anything and everything is possible.

We sat outside on the patio. The coffee was great, the fruit tea drinks were great.... THE BREAD? WOW! We were fortunate enough to try the chocolate cherry bread? It was SOOO good! A must go to place.

Look, I've lived a life full of regrettable choices: buying a one-way ticket to a Coldplay concert, attempting to cook a seven-course meal using only a BBQ Grill, and, worst of all, believing that Dear Grain was just a place that sold bread you could use for your weight loss diets. To be fair, I'm not a fan of anything sour. In my book, the only good thing that’s sour is a lemon-drop martini, and even that's a stretch. So when my date dragged me to Dear Grain, I was already prepping my "this is fine" face. I was ready to endure a beige-themed experience of artisanal sour dough and healthy, happiness-free options. I braced myself for a world of pain and stomach rumbles. But boy, was I wrong. As soon as I walked in, I wasn't transported to a healthy bread shop; I was transported to a land of pure, unadulterated gluttony. I’m talking about an all-star cast of olive oils, jams, and jellies that looked like they were auditioning for a food commercial. Then came the main event: the chocolates and ice cream. I'm not ashamed to admit I fell in love with Sim and Lil's double chocolate ice cream. My girlfriend ordered a smoked salmon sandwich and an ice cream called coconut blush, a dreamy cloud of tropical bliss with a delicate swirl that tasted like a vacation in a cup. I went for the chicken club sandwich and it was so good, it made me question every life decision I've ever made. How had I not known about this place sooner? This is not a review; this is a public service announcement. If you, like me, are a sour-averse person who thought Dear Grain was just a healthy bread shop, you're missing out. I'm still young, my cholesterol is still in a healthy range, and there’s still time. Dear Grain is now on my weekly roster. What a week it was. I'm still dreaming about the sandwich, the creamy ice cream, and the beautiful smell of coffee and sour bread in the air. Oh, the humanity.

Such a lovely birthday experience! We’ve been meaning to try this place out for a while, as we have been getting delicious bread and baked goods from Dark Horse, that are provided by Dear Grain. It was a rainy day when we ventured down to this Sourdough Studio. Parking was impossible to find, as it seemed everyone else had the same idea of seeking shelter at a nearby cafe/restaurant, but we were determined to try this place out. We parked about a 10min walk away, were extremely grateful that we had stashed umbrellas in the car (umbrellas really are a great invention), and trekked through the pouring rain to the infamous Dear Grain Sourdough studio. We ordered way too many things. I would definitely get the sourdough pizza slice again! Looks so unassuming, but tastes incredible. Thank you to the lovely young lady who threw in a birthday cookie…I really do love my birthday freebies!!!

Paying $10 for a loaf of bread is surely something I never thought I would do, however, I have. Their chocolate cherry loaf is addictive. Sourdoughs are very good. I still think a happy balance is charging a more reasonable $ which would allow customers to come in more often. As it stands I try to stay away and limit my visits to once every 3 or so months as to not bankrupt myself in bread.

Cobs Bread was a sweet smelling addition to the neighborhood. There is always a customer in the store when you walk through the door. Whether you are craving something sweet like a fresh scone, chewy cinnamon bun or fruity strawberry danish, or prefer something more savoury like a mini pizza or loaf you are sure to find a treat. Don't forget to sign up for the Cobs App for a free birthday cinnamon bun and and half birthday scone (it's about time we started celebrating half birthday's again)

I came here at 6:50am on a Tuesday and there was only one customer in front of me. I asked for a sourdough loaf and asked if it could be sliced but they say that it couldn’t because it was freshly baked and too hot to slice. So I walked home to let it cool down a bit and then sliced it. The warm was so warm and moist and yummy - just the best carbs! The price is also fair at $6.75 for a big loaf.

The best slider buns and hamburger bread! Can’t recommend them enough. The staff is wonderful, prices are fair, and the variety of breads is top-notch quality.

I have been a loyal customer of Cobs Bakery for quite some time now :) , and I couldn't be happier with my experience. I frequently purchase their bagels, particularly the everything bagel, and I must say they are always fresh and delicious. The quality of their bagels is unmatched, and they have become a staple in my breakfast routine. Aside from their exceptional bagels, Cobs Bakery also offers a delightful selection of pastries. I've had the pleasure of trying several, and each one has been a taste sensation. The variety of options is fantastic, and they never disappoint. What truly sets Cobs Bakery apart is their friendly and welcoming staff. Every time I walk in, I'm greeted with a warm smile and a friendly hello. The customer service is outstanding, and it makes the experience even more enjoyable. It's such a pleasure to have Cobs Bakery in our neighborhood. They consistently provide high-quality products, and their presence enhances our community. I wholeheartedly recommend Cobs Bakery for anyone looking for fresh, tasty baked goods and a welcoming atmosphere.

When I arrived home I was surprised to discover the ugliest bagel I have ever seen. It should not have passed quality check. Flavour was good at least ☺️

New BREAD 🍞🥐🥯🥖 location 🙌🏼 Looks very clean and well displayed Samples of a new product Great service

Amazing bread, baked daily. We go there once a week. Staff are friendly. Special shout out to Matt. He’s only been there one month and is calm & customer focused, even in the busiest of times. Keep it up Cobs!

I was surprisingly unhappy about my experience at this Bakery. I had they're almond croissant, which I have to say is probably one of the worst almond croissants I've had in Toronto. It was incredibly still, and the pastry had a texture as if it was made a day or two previously. The only redeeming quality was that it didn't have a ton of almond essence like some other poor quality almond croissants often do. I also had their famed Alsatian sourdough bread. I'll be honest, other than it's nice crust oh, it really didn't taste very different from other Bakery bought white breads. Another disappointment. The only thing that was at least somewhat good and worth purchasing again was their pistachio apricot tart.

We were recommended by a friend and what a great idea to follow up on ordering here. Service and patience on the phone with their own recos were spot on to our palette. We ordered a beef dish that was insanely tasty and hit the spot. The donuts/beignets that were Nutella filled were so delicious as were the Lime and then Lemon tarts that were just so light and full of flavour. This spot you need to order when you have the chance.

Walked in on a Sunday morning with my 6 year old daughter. Excited, we planned on dropping 50+ dollars on bread and croissants to take home as we live out of town. As is with children she had to use the washroom on arrival. When we asked to use the potty we were told there wasn't one available to customers. When I explained that she was 6 and it was urgent I was met with a royal attitude and passive aggressively 'mammed' by the staff and heatedly explained to that the bathroom was not in a fit state for use by patrons. I would like to remind the owners of this establishment that Ontario building code requires food and beverage service retailers to have at least one bathroom in proper working order for patrons. We took our money down the road to Bomou where we had ice cream and a pee in a nice clean bathroom.

Such a great bakery with a delicious assortment of fresh baked desserts and pastries. There are savory snacks and bites too. I love to start the weekend with a chocolate croissant in Ramsden park which is just down the road. Definitely recommend treating yourself at Petite Thuet Summerhill.

Very good pastries and bread , always get the white and brown sour dough , very home like atmosphere and rustic feel

A very cozy place full of the tastiest pastries and bread. And it is very pleasant to talk to a person who actually herself baked the food you are going to buy and eat. Gandhali, your lime meringue cakes aresimply gorgeous

I got breakfast sandwich which costs 11$ The size of the sandwich was the size of a small English muffin. The ingredients were super basic and the bread was cold. The people behind the counter are friendly but the food is over over overrated. The sweet pastries are better than anything else. But the savory food is NOT worth it. 😕

Family and I went to this amazing St.Lawrence Market and it was so many shops inside for whatever you need. It had amazing Food options and so many Meats options also. What are the unique thing is how different culture kind of meat and cheese and fruits that were in this Market. The food was so fresh anywhere you tried to eat because it was made fresh right away. We try the pizza place and it was very delicious. The only reason why I give it a four star is because it would have been nice to see some Halal Options in Market as it had None and we had to find Cheese pizza to eat. Also bathroom could been cleaner! Overall Very Amazing and Unique Market to visit.

If you would love to visit local market as a tourist, this is the place to go! It has nice market atmosphere and I see long queue at many shops in the market by locals. It also cater both raw and ready to eat food. So you can buy beef steak to cook in your homestay or buy ready to eat food. Variety range from meat to seafood to fruits to bread to tarts to desserts and even maple syrup! Beautiful atmosphere and nice yummy food.... A nice brunch place and market!

Had a terrific time spending the day browsing St Lawrence Market. Bought an amazingly creative bouquet of flowers to brighten our hotel room. Had a delicious charcuterie lunch made from purchasing items from various vendors. Dessert was the largest berries we’ve ever seen, sweet, juicy, and delicious! Bought some pork belly to bring home after our trip. Purchased wines, a few souvenirs for our kids, generally had a nice day browsing through the enormous market. For reference I’d say it is about six times the size of Pike Place Market in Seattle.

A Fav forever!!! A staple in the city for us Torontonians and tourists! The new farmers market wing is great for local produce and deliciousness! You can literally find anything you need here. Spices, local meats, produce, tea, coffee, seafood, oysters, sandwiches, fresh bread, breakfast, lunch, fish and chips, charcuterie, ethnic foods, Latin foods, hot chocolate ... So much goodness!!! Pricing is a bit on the higher side but the vibe makes up for it!

I was surprised and amazed by this market. Very impressive. Often time when you hear market it come to mind its for the local. But this market is quite different many tourist all over world come to visit this place. This is a food lover paradise. Local nearby farm product like fruits vegetables and pastries cheese even flower are all very fresh. But price is not cheap. Just buy what you can eat there and be sure to ask seller if the product you want to buy is allow to take out from there country and be sure also that you are allow to bring back to your country specially agricultural product and processed meat. Some countries have stricter bans than others

Fun place to hang out, spend half a day, grab some bites and explore new food. The weather was extremely nice the week I visited so we could sit outside under the sun as well. Seems like it’s less of fresh produce and more of imported or processed items. I only managed to see the old building and the fashion market. Would love to visit the North market next time as well.

Wonderful experience of the oldest market in Canada! There was a booth that has been there since before Canadas birth! The main floor is where fresh food is sold. The lower level has all the international flavours… will visit again. Lively atmosphere… need sitting area in winter. Has a mini-museum in lowest level where the jail used to be.

The place offers some great main course options, and I really enjoyed the food overall. It’s comforting, full of flavor, and truly satisfying. The breads were soft and fresh, and the portion sizes for the main course were just right. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back!

Location is fantastic, and the restaurant is clean and well-maintained with excellent service. The washrooms are several floors up, so if you have mobility issues, you may have difficulty accessing them. Food was average. Butter chicken was much too sweet, and with the combo I chose (3), it contained only four pieces of chicken. The lamb Vidaloo was very spicy, but a mango drink made it tolerable. I heard that the buffet was good, so I will try it next to confirm.

I’ve visited this restaurant twice in the past two weeks, and both times, I came in for the thali—such great value for money! The portions are generous, and the food is absolutely delicious. What really stood out to me was the service. The server was extremely kind and even accommodated a switch in my thali since I don’t eat palak paneer, which I honestly wasn’t expecting. That little gesture made the experience even better! If you’re in the area and craving Indian food, I highly recommend checking this place out. I’m already looking forward to trying their lunch specials next

I ordered dine in for one person which was costly. The butter chicken tasted too suited and I expected tangy. The pulao rice was great. The saag paneer was also a nice addition. The butter naan was just right. Overall, I would benefit from a lunch buffet at a fraction of the cost. Service was attentive and friendly.

A true gem in the heart of downtown Toronto. Beautiful restaurant and wonderful staff. I highly recommend trying the veggie thali dish if you are new to Indian food. It’s a great way to begin exploring this culinary treasure and it’s many aromatic flavours! 🥘🌱😋

4 drumsticks and 3 thighs do not make a full Tandoori chicken. If that is the serving size for this restaurant it should be mentioned in the menu. This is not enough even for two people. It came in a small packet. Taste was ok, not Indian spice or oil, slightly dry.

My partner and I were visiting from NY and had an INCREDIBLE meal here!! We love Indian food and this is some of the best we have ever had. The dine for two special was an amazing deal with so much food - Appetizer, 3 entrees and naan. The pakora were so crispy and flavorful, the butter chicken was to die for and the service and ambience was excellent. I only wish I lived here so I could go again!!

Best martini I have ever had! (and this reviewer doesn’t usually like Martinis.) Legit sourdough tapas straight out of Segovia, Spain. Ambience for days. Keep your head on a swivel for stealing stools (if your feet are tired) at the midpoint.

Visited on a Tuesday night and the place was surprisingly packed. The atmosphere was great — loved the vibe and overall aesthetic of the bar. However, the service didn’t quite match the setting. When we arrived, we stood around for a bit before anyone acknowledged us, and throughout the night it was difficult to get the staff’s attention. It felt like they might have been understaffed because the team didn’t seem very attentive. The cocktails were decent but nothing memorable. The food, on the other hand, was below average for the price, very small portions and definitely on the expensive side for what you get. Overall, a bit of a mixed experience. Amazing ambiance and an enjoyable place to hang out, but service and food quality need improvement. I’d call it a high 3, low 4 — rounding up because the vibe really was that good.

One of the best spots in the city for tapas!! Every dish we had was incredible and we were well taken care of. The restaurant has standing bars so definitely get here early for proper seating. Highly recommend the broccolini, nice smokey and the sauce was the right amount of spice. Definitely coming back here again!

My first time visiting this local legend! The atmosphere is gorgeous and the wood interior was so far ahead of the game when the bar first opened. It still stuns compared to most other places. The service varied in quality between servers. Some slightly more rushed and unfocused, others very pleasant, focused, and present. The food was good but not exceptional. The cod remoulade was salty but bland in other flavours. The octopus with chorizo was very pleasant and the octopus was cooked very skillfully. The tomato toast was the star of our meal. We got two orders in a row. The cocktails are lovely.

Atmosphere: 8/10 Little Italy. Gaudí-inspired design throughout — a nod to the Spanish architect known for his organic forms and Catalan Modernist flair. The carved wood interiors and curved lines give the space a sculptural presence. The backbar is thoughtfully integrated into the flowing design, but seating is limited — mostly standing room, with a handful of bar seats and a small patio outside. Music was upbeat but not overwhelming — easy enough to hold a conversation. Drinks: 6/10 Recommendation: – The menu is a single page, divided by flavor or style, though visually it’s bare-bones. Creative enough recipes, but the presentation doesn’t go far: no coasters, average glassware, simple garnishes. Service is self-managed at times, and the drinks match the minimalist tone. Prices are average for Toronto. Service: 7/10 Friendly and professional staff. No water offered on arrival. Bar operates on a walk-in only basis — no reservations accepted. Service feels casual but competent.

I finally got the chance to check out Bar Raval after seeing it pop up on Instagram so many times. I had always been curious but never actually made the trip, until one day I was walking around Little Italy and spotted it. So I decided to go in and see what it was like. The first thing that caught my attention was how beautifully the place is decorated. It’s a small bar, but the design is really unique and cozy. I personally think it’s a great spot for a date or to hang out with a few close friends definitely not the kind of place for big groups, since the space is pretty limited. I ordered one food dish and three cocktails. My boyfriend had two of them, and I had one (to be honest, I can’t remember the names!). The food was good, pretty standard, but the cocktails were amazing, every single one was super tasty and well made. The service was also great. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made us feel really welcome. Overall, I loved the vibe at Bar Raval. It had a cool, laid-back feel but still felt a bit special. I’ll for sure be going back again soon.

A bunch of my service industry friends recommended this place to me and it didn’t disappoint. I also have to frequently suggest places at my work and all of my clients who’ve visited have also enjoyed. Fabulous atmosphere, dimmed lighting, still warm and lively, was sat at a tiered table top that has a convenient space to place bags or hang umbrellas (went on a rainy night last Thursday of October) cozy covered patio. Jodie (Jody? I’ll feel so bad if that’s not her name) and an individual who’s name I didn’t get (bleached short hair and cool hand tattoos) were fantastic and I’ve been told by service industry friends that Becks and Mira (again unsure of spelling) take very good care of their guests. Whole team seems to enjoy what they do and that comes across in their service. They’re knowledgeable and serious about what they do but not pretentious, they’re enthusiastic and fun, and as a guest that makes me wanna have fun. Cocktails were all delicious and nuanced but I have an easily pleased palate, I do wanna try the wine list. The bites were great too I wanna come back with an emptier stomach to eat more. Mini party platter was great for sharing. Chicken liver toast was amazing, I could’ve eaten three. I love chicken liver pate but a whole jar is a lot so I appreciate the option just to order the single servings. Can’t wait to be back and send more of my clients to enjoy this fine establishment. Would recommend for anyone looking for a cool date night or if you have folks visiting that you want to experience something elevated and cool in Toronto’s bar scene.

I really had a pleasant experience here, Nathan my server was so nice and always asking if I need coffee refills or something else. Shout out to the maitre d due to his very welcoming personality. It was busy by the patio but had 2 tables for me to choose for inside. I had drip coffee and basque cheesecake and I really enjoyed it. There’s two washroom downstairs but no lift, it would be an issue for ppl with mobility issues. I spent $16 for coffee+basque cheesecake+Tip, which is a steal. I will be back.

I am new to Riverside neighbourhood and was recommended this restaurant. They have a wonderful and welcoming staff. I had plain and blueberry custard filled brioche and also fruit tarts. I love the fact that their pastries are not too sweet. They also have great coffee. One time I stopped by with my dog and they offered her a biscuit! I guess they are a great staple to this neighbourhood. Thank you, Bonjour Brioche!

We have enjoyed Bonjour Brioche since it first opened, many, many years ago. We were thrilled that many of staff remained when ownership changed, and the food is as delicious as ever (spicy bacon sandwiches, quiche, lemon twists, flourless chocolate cake, and their latte bowls are some of our favourites…). The service (especially at their take out window) is also great. I don’t often call in my take out order, but when I do, the person who picks up the phone always remembers my order and my name. It’s a nice place to enjoy a weekend brunch too.

Absolutely delicious! I bought a loaf of brioche bread and a spinach, feta, and roasted red pepper quiche from here to share with friends. The quiche was so creamy and the crust was light and flaky. I've never had a quiche like that, the feta and egg mixture blended so well. I would 10/10 get another one from here. The brioche bread was just the right amount of sweet and was really fluffy. I used it to make French toast and it was a hit. I ordered both of these for pick up so I can only rate the atmosphere based on the pickup window. The attendant was really nice and the black board and overall vibe of bonjour brioche was excellent.

Follow @bredgyeats on IG for more food posts! Bonjour, and goodbye, I'm going up to my room to enjoy my triple banana pudding in peace. The trio of the creamy banana pudding base, moist banana bread chunks, and caramelized slices of banana bring a rich taste with hints of creamy vanilla, and finished with a drizzle of caramel to add a sweet richness in each bite. Flourless Chocolate Cake - Decadent and rich chocolate cake but quite heavy and dense. Exterior was slightly more crisp, and texture was smooth. Chocolate taste had depth, like at least two different tastes of chocolate. Also not overly sweet. Spicy Bacon - Bacon had a nice balance of flavour, not overly salty with a slight sweetness. Cheddar provided some sharpness and creaminess along with the avocado to increase depth, and tomato for a fresh ingredient. Baguette was still crisp even with takeout but got a little chewy after a bit.

Bonjour Brioche was an amazing brunch spot, the place was simple and cozy. The service was great and everything was delicious. Highly recommend the salmon eggs Benedict, probably the best eggs Benedict I've had and the French toast was amazing as well. Unfortunately, we didn't get to try most of the pastries as they were sold out (around 1PM). If you want to try the brioche or croissants I suggest going earlier.

Some of the most amazing breakfast in the city! We love both the indoor space and the outdoor patio. Also there to go window with fresh pastries is amazing. Even their little baguettes don’t compare to others. Can’t recommend this place enough. I usually take guests here when they visit from out of town

First time here. Extremely organized, well staffed, amazing options, very fair prices and SO fresh!!!! Met Ed the baker. Awesome guy. What impressed me the most was him cleaning tables outside and went back inside and handed out a few free donuts to young kids who had sat down waiting for their dad who was grabbing lunch. Very Classy!!! I will be back for sure. Keep up the awesome work!!!

First time visiting Sanremo - it can best described as organized chaos. I visited Sunday at lunch hour. The place was packed. As someone who has never visited Sanremo before I didn’t know the process so I got into line where the entrance door was. I learnt listening in from others that the line I was in was only for cold sandwiches. So I moved out of line and more into the shop. There was no line for hot sandwiches so I got a meatball sandwich, chicken parmesan sandwich and a mac and cheese. The lady prepared everything quickly and handed me the food and a paper with what I ordered. Then I was paraded to the cash register/coffee bar ordering area. I paid and gave my name which they told me to go outside and get the drink at the drink window. Since I had some time I went into the dessert line to get a few things. People were everywhere but everything went pretty smoothly and quickly. The prices were very affordable. I got the coffee crema (which everyone had sitting outside). It was very delicious. The meatball sub was basic (no cheese) - just bun, sauce and meatballs. It was alright. The chicken parm was better because it had cheese. The mac and cheese was decent - nothing amazing but still satisfying. The coffee was my favourite part by far. I’d go back to get another plus try different food items. There’s lots to choose from.

Worth the drive. I thought $7.49 for the pistachio crema was overpriced considering the regular felt too small buuuut it's decadent. Worth the trip and worth the price. Pastries are always a hit. I think I preordered doughnuts a few years back. I noticed they were almost sold out by the time I arrived today around 1-2pm. I've yet to try their savory menu. I plan to pick up some deli slices and sandwiches next time.. or food at the hot bar. Great bakery. I recommend giving it a try. Only gave it 4 stars because I felt like the lady at the deli counter ignored me.. but she greeted the two Caucasian men who entered 30 seconds after me. Could be an oversight but just my experience. I still recommend this shop for sure.

There was a big roast of porchetta sitting on the hot table, when I went back an hour later, they were all sliced up & displayed as sandwich form. It was a big sandwich and had a good amount of meat. For the size of sandwich price was resonable. Liked their fresh bread, chew of thick slices of pork, how they use good amount of herbs & spices, loved the spicy heat at the end. Paying $1.25 extra for generous amount of roasted red pepper worth it!

My mom has always loved this bakery but until recently I had never had the opportunity to try it. I finally went in with my husband a few months ago and tried some of their food and everything was absolutely delicious. The staff seemed friendly and the entire bakery was bustling with energy and customers. My husband loves their gelato, doughnuts, pizza and chicken parmesan and I adore the eggplant lasagna, pastas and pizza. I crave this so many times a week but refrain from over indulging. Since we both loved this bakery so much when I decided to plan a surprise 30th birthday party for my husband, I knew I wanted to have Sanremo cater for me. The initial inquiry with Brianna was alright through email and she helped clarify a few things, although I was a bit disappointed as I couldn’t eat at my husband’s party since they only do the vegetarian options on certain days I was a bit bummed out but decided to order the food for all the guests and just got my food from somewhere else for the party. Eliza was a gem when I called multiple times and helped me decide on amounts and made sure I had everything I needed for my event. I ordered around 45 chicken parmesans in red sauce which included buns, 3 full trays of penne rose, 2 full trays of cheese tortellini salad, 5 personal cheese pizzas, 20 garlic breads and a coffee thermos for rent which came with everything needed except non dairy milks! When I arrived to pick up the food, Eliza ensured I had everything I needed and helped load up my vehicle. The guests loved the food so much and everyone took some home as there was plenty of leftovers. The only thing I regret was ordering the garlic bread as it did go hard before guests had the opportunity to eat it but I should have foreseen that. Overall, it was a seamless experience and I want to thank Eliza a million times over for all of her supper throughout my planning process leading up to me dropping the coffee urn off a few days later.

We had a wonderful experience of Cakes at Sanremo. The quality was simply superb throughout our visit. We ordered a strawberry shortcake for my granddaughters, and it was absolutely exquisite - the perfect balance of fresh strawberries, light cake, and cream. You could tell it was made with care and quality ingredients. The bakery clearly takes pride in their craft, and it shows in every bite. This is definitely a place we'll return to for future celebrations. Highly recommended for anyone looking for exceptional cakes and desserts.

Stopped in for lunch and immediately saw why this spot feels like a neighborhood staple. By noon the line for hot food and sandwiches was long but moved quickly, so I started at the bakery and grabbed a few donuts and pastries while waiting. The Mortadella on focaccia was outstanding—airy bread with perfectly balanced flavors. My Pinsa Romana, a rustic flatbread topped with cheese and tomatoes, was light yet satisfying, and the pizza’s pillowy crust and fresh ingredients stood out. Everything tasted as though it had been made that morning. They also have an entire section devoted to fresh loaves and bagels, plus an outdoor order window for coffee and drinks. We tried the iced chai latte and pistachio caffè crema—both excellent. Outdoor seating under the awning made the meal feel relaxed and inviting. Fresh, vibrant, and efficient, this place is one I’d gladly return to—there’s still so much more to try.

My first time ordering from them online. I usually just pick up my cakes at grocery stores that carry Dufflet goods. I've got to say it's super easy to use their online ordering. Once you submit a request, a super friendly Dufflet Team Member will contact you. Since I needed a pickup for Monday (they're closed), The sweet associate offered me alternative dates for pick up. I really appreciate that because I've had other bakeries just flat out shut me down with the , "Sorry, we are closed." AND hang up! Anyways, ffwd to Sunday when I arrived, immediately they greet you w.a very friendly and warming Hello! I picked up my cake w.ease and off I went! Can't wait to enjoy the treats, especially the gluten free lemon tarts for out gluten intolerant guest! Thank you Dufflet!

Everything is great here! I want to order everything on their menu! For best selection come early! Seats are limited so take out is recommended. Sometimes though the cakes aren't that good, they're just frosted over so ypu can't see how bad.

I tried their banana and chocolate cake with a decaf espresso. The cake was not bad but I found their cakes at their Yonge location are tastier. Maybe they bake them more often, so they are always fresh. Their slice is so big that I could save half for the next day too.

Went here on Dec 13/22 Dufflet Pastries is a sketchy place. This does not feel like a dessert place or a coffee place. Our first instinct was to leave, but we were greeted too quickly and caught off-guard looking at the dirty fish tank. The Asian male server (who spoke perfect English) didn’t seem to understand our order for a cappuccino and a regular coffee. Nor two desserts, one which had to be warmed up. We repeated it several times. Thereafter, the drinks were prepared in the back away from view. Why? He also took my dessert to the far back to microwave, but I saw him standing and talking to someone, and he spent a whole minute holding my dessert under their mouths chatting away. Ewww! Finally, nothing we ate or drank was worth going back for. I don’t know how this place stays in business. Maybe they have something else going on in there that makes them more money.

We had an amazing experience with Dufflet! Ordered our wedding cake and the whole experience was excellent. For the tasting they had all ready by the time we arrived, explained all the options and combinations and guided us to have the best cake ever ( we ended up choosing chocolate + vanilla). I followed up with them a few days before the wedding and they confirmed our order right to the last detail. In our wedding day the cake arrived right on time and everyone loved it! I would also recommend the carrot cake, delicious! If you want a delicious, good value for money and reliable wedding cake provider this is a great option.

Dufflet did our cupcakes and cake for our wedding last November and the results were just what we wanted. The consultation was very thorough and professional and they responded quickly to any additional questions by email. The cakes were an excellent value for the money and I’d highly recommend them for any event.

I personally love everything salted caramel and their “Milk Chocolate Salted Caramel Euro Tart” was not an exception. It was SO delicious and the dark chocolate crust really balanced out the sweet milk chocolate ganache and caramel. Also highly recommend their Pecan tart! This retail location has about 4 tables and a high bench by their shop window. →Follow my food adventures on IG- @naheedzzz

Finally got lobster tails! So huge. Totally get why it's been popular for so long. It smells amazing when you walk in. The line moves fast. Got lobster tails and gelato and couple of other things but highly recommend these two also chocolate cake which was divine.

Lamanna’s Bakery was added in our Must Visit list and we finally understand why during our first visit! They have a huge selection of Italian pastries and gelato, freshly made. Please don’t skip or leave without tasting at least their Bomboloni. Their Tiramisu is also good! We’ll definetely be back to try out more. The pizza slices, on the other hand, looks amazing, but the Magherita slice just didn’t make it for us… Unfortunately, the sauce was bland and lacked in favour. However, the pizza slices had the perfect texture and amount of cheese — very generous portions, great to share amongst others. Would probably try a different flavour next time. As a vegetarian option, their vegetarian lasagna is highly recommended… very filling and yet again, generous portions, and great service from the staff to ask us if we wanted extra sauce. I appreciate the different queue lines created for savoury and sweet foods — it’s time efficient instead of having just one line. Although we were able to find a spot, there is little seating available.

I ordered the “Big Slice Chocolate Birthday Cake” and was really excited to try it. When I got the cake, it looked cute and well-presented. Unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. The cake was overly dense and extremely sweet — so much so that no one at the party could eat more than a bite. The sweetness was overwhelming and didn’t taste balanced or enjoyable. You could feel the crunch of undissolved sugar between your teeth. It was especially frustrating because this was for a birthday celebration, and we couldn’t enjoy the cake as we had hoped. I had been looking forward to trying other Big Slice items like their pizza and more, but after this experience, I’m not sure I’ll be giving it another try.

This was my first visit to Lamanna's Bakery thanks to a friend's recommendation that we meet there and I loved it! I immediately loved the atmosphere walking in and seeing the different stations for pizza, hot table, baked goods and gelato. I was in Italian heaven! To start I just had a mint tea with a Portuguese custard tart which was fresh and delicious. We sat at the front window area and there was a constant line up for ordering. The staff was all nice who I chatted with. Big thanks to Ashley for happily answering lots of questions I had about the gorgeous looking pizzas! I also loved the beautiful graphic design of their boxes I saw people carrying out. Some were huge and must have had cakes in them! I got a pepperoni slice to go and it was fantastic! Thin crust and so delicious! It tasted like authentic recipe from Italy and want to know specifically where. I am eager to return for more pizza and their hot table for lasagna and meatballs!

Absolutely love Lamanna’s!! Probably one of the best bakeries I have been too. Their pistachio tiramisu is 10/10. All of their pastries are honestly a 10/10! The meat lasagna is amazing but they stopped giving out the focaccia bread with it which was disappointing. Nonetheless, the quality is always amazing. However, be prepared to wait in line for a bit as they are always pretty busy.

My all time favorite bakery ... Most recently tried the pistachio and almond cake. It was beyond delicious, so light and fluffy and not too overly sweet. The tuxedo cake was also a 10\10. Will be back to try more.

Lamanna’s usually requires 24-hour notice for large pizzas, but we were impressed that they accommodated our order with only 30 minutes' notice. The pizzas were delicious, with a perfectly cooked crust – a great testament to their flexibility and culinary skill!

The go to place for the BEST chocolate chip cookies in Toronto. Get the chocolate chip or chocolate chip walnut. The chocolate is always melty good. Don’t know how they do it! It’s been consistently good for at least a decade.

Hands down, they have the best cookies in downtown Toronto, worth every penny! My favorite is the chocolate walnut cookie. The place smells amazing, and the staff are super friendly. I can’t wait to try more cookies!

Stopped by Le Gourmand for coffee and dessert, and it hit the mark completely. The iced Americano was strong but smooth — exactly what you want on a slow afternoon — and the Basque cheesecake was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Great vibe overall: relaxed but busy enough to feel alive, with friendly staff who actually seem to care. It’s the kind of café that makes you linger a little longer than planned.

Stumbled across Le Gourmand while strolling around Queen St W. The Interior is beautifully designed. Their beverages and desserts were delicious, and reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly as well. We got the Biscoff Coffee Latte, Passionfruit Lemonade, and a peanut butter cookie - all of which I highly suggest is worth the try. Highly recommended and would definitely return when visiting Toronto again!

They changed their pancake and French toast prices right after a famous food influencer posted about them. I was shocked to see my bill for one pancake came to $28.58. It’s disappointing that they raised prices right after being featured by a food influencer. I used to enjoy coming here, but this feels unfair to regulars.

We tried the chocolate and walnut cookie and it was excellent – perfectly balanced and delicious. Highly recommended!

This coffee shop is hands down one of my favorite places! I come here almost every day, and it’s always such a great experience. The coffee is consistently amazing, but what really keeps me coming back is the food and pastries. Everything is made fresh daily, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The croissants are perfectly flaky, the sandwiches are flavorful and filling, and the desserts are absolutely delicious …it’s hard to choose a favorite! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great spot to sit and enjoy your food or get some work done. The best part? The baristas here are all so kind and welcoming. They’re always friendly, attentive, and they make you feel right at home. Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee to go or spending a few hours here, it’s always a pleasant experience. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Visited Drake Commissary on a Sunday for brunch. Did not have to wait to get in and the place had a lot of tables. The menu was brief but had a decent selection. Breakfast sandwiches for less than $10 and other heavier options such as Brisket Sandwich for $18. I ordered Shakshuka which was delicious and quiet filling. Will definitely go back.

Beautiful place. Accessibility - the main entrance is a lot of stairs. The bartender said there is an accessible entrance - "through the kitchen" The eating area has loads of space for wheelchairs and the washroom is truly accessible. One of the best I have seen in Toronto. The food is great and the decor is stunning. This is a definite destination eating place and the business will definitely enjoy increased success. It would be a useful exercise for the owners to make the main entrance truly accessible but they deserve significant credit for exceeding what is the norm in Toronto.

What to try? I personally loved the roasted mushroom and espresso pasta here! AMAZING. Their menu reads - pasta is mixed and rolled in house with fresh ingredients. I was sold! I also liked their cold platter board too. We had the smoked, cured and potted fish platter and I really liked the dill and sour apple pickled herring. Really unique combination and it wasn't too sour and it had a nice sweet kick to it. I wasn't that big of a fan of their pizzas though. They are shareable too but it's really hard to cut through it and the pizza didn't look that appealing when it came to the table. We had the truffled bianca and I couldn't really taste the truffle in the pizza but I thought it was pretty cool to have potatoes on the pizza. It's not someone's go to when it comes to pizzas but it's still worth a try! When it came to the drinks, I had the Ginger Rogers. If you're a fan of whiskey but want a sweet taste to your cocktails, this is definitely the one you want to try. Had hints of strawberry in there with the strawberry rhubarb addition and the honey helped with the bitter taste of whiskey. I'll go back to try the other ones since there's quite a few concoctions you can try. When it came to dessert time, we ordered the banana cream pie and the rhubarb and strawberry frangipane. I loved their desserts! The banana cream pie was really creamy and I liked the vanilla pastry cream on top. It didn't feel heavy, it felt light! But the crust was hard though. That's the only downside to the pie. If they had warmed the pie crust up before serving the cream and toppings, I think it would be a killer dessert. I liked the frangipane because of the cookie crust. It wasn't too sweet which I really liked and I felt like I could eat the strawberry rhubarb with every bite. Gotta try it out! Last tip? They opened for dinner for two weeks now and it's still a pretty new restaurant in town where they are (junction triangle) so go before the en mass goes and check it out yourself. They're open for breakfast lunch and dinner and they also have an open patio too. Located next to breweries too, you can try the breweries out if you fancy it. I have to say, the area is pretty industrial so don't expect anything fancy around the building the commissary is in. By the way, if you drive like me, there's not a lot of parking spots for drake guests in the parking lot unfortunately, so you'll have to opt to park on the street which isn't too bad when you don't have to pay!

Really good food to eat in or takeout (lots of delicious cured meats and fish). Service was amazing. Coffee is great, both the Americano and drop coffee and tasty. Breakfast items are good and they serve healthy gluten free items as well and have a wide selection. Decor is super pretty and the neighbourhood feel is really nice.

Yes - food is expensive here and not the largest of portions but the quality is also something that balances it out. Some things ARE more worth it than others and you can take your pick of which ones are kinda absurd (i.e. the butter). Really good vibe and decor here and good to host low key get togethers with large groups.

The Drake and all its many renditions are simply fabulously creative fun. The Commissary is not exception. Tucked into a corner of the start of the Junction it is right now desolate but that will be short lived as MOKA is moving in next door which is so exciting. I love the vibe here and hanging for coffee rocks. Lots of super fresh offerings always makes me happy. I totally love all their eggplant dishes and being I Iove salads for lunch this is my happy place. Do not miss the Licorice Cinnamon bun. I know it sounds crazy but please give it a try.

I came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was busy with families. There was a family washroom as well so it seems accommodating for people with kids. The happy hour menu is applied everyday including weekends for $1 per oz house wine. We didn’t have to wait for a table for 4 people. It looks like there’s a few picnic tables available during warmer weather. Friendly staff and no issues.

You'd also be hard-pressed to guess that these treats are completely vegan that kind of reminds me of childhood birthday parties with their chocolate and vanilla cupcakes and donuts.

Nice atmosphere and service, but inedible gluten free pastries. As someone who has tried the majority of gluten free bakeries in Toronto and countless storebought goods, it’s ludicrous that this bakery is charging $5.93 for a single black forest cupcake. The cupcake had a weird texture, it was like munching on uncooked quinoa in between cake crumb. The frosting was overwhelmingly sweet and not creamy at all. I’ve had plenty of good vegan frosting at other bakeries—this was not it. There was very little cherry filling and it should have been a jam-like consistency, instead I think they just soaked dried cherries in sugar syrup. Not to mention the black forest cupcake is a “seasonal” flavor which is how the bakery justifies an extra $0.75 surcharge. Last I checked, dried cherries are available year-round so I’m confused and you should be too.

Are you looking for some sweet treats that are dairy free, and fully vegan well Tori’s Bake Shop in The Beaches will not only fulfill your cravings, but want you going for more. The staff is amazing. The shop features positive, upbeat vibes. Anything you can do Tori can do Vegan. Plant based dairy has come a long way and Tori’s bakery aims to impress. Best part, no animals were harmed in the making.

On a wet and chilly November day like today, coming upon a place like this is literal heaven on earth! As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with the aroma of freshly baked desserts and brewed coffee! I got their lavender London fog and brownie cupcake! Can't wait to pass by again!

Located in the beaches on the corner of Queen and Balsam. There is on street parking out front and also on the side streets. Very friendly crew and great products. Grabbed an assorted. Box of pastries to enjoy and could not be any happier. They have both regular and gluten free goods for all to enjoy with their large selection of beverages. Will definitely swing by more often to sample their other goodies

Plant based bakery offering a variety of sweet and savoury goods. - Potato Focaccia: A bit dry, nice caramelized onion undertone, good density and a bit on the greasy side. - Savoury Scone: could not taste the sun dried tomato but lovely flavour overall. - Peach tart: sweet and good but not enough filling and too much pastry. - Cinnamon bun: excellent, very good. - Butter tart: a bit plain and dry, nice sweetness though. - BLT Sandwich: very good flavour but WAY too greasy because of the coconut bacon. The pesto is wonderful though. Service is friendly and helpful.

A selection of vegan and glutein free fresh, organic, delishious treats. I come for the delishiousness and the cozy setting, missed out on the soups, but they do have that and sandwiches too. Today it smelled like cinnamon, so it had to be cinnamon roll :) Come try it some time, you will jot be disappointed!

So much to choose from! Ended up trying the pecan butter tart and it was the best I had. The inside was gooey. Will have to try their carrot cake next time! Friendly staff too. Update: Carrot cake is my all-time favorite dessert and I finally got a chance to try it here. It's the best I've ever had! It's moist, not overly sweet, and has an amazing texture.

Lovely bakery cafe! They offered plenty of options for cakes/bakery menu which all looked V yummy I tried the carrot cake and the sweetness level was perfect. It’s more of a home baked style cake, which made it more special. The sitting area is also very nice, with vintage furnitures adding up to its cozy vibe Would’ve been a regular customer if only I lived nearby 10/10

Amazing baked goods! Same owners as bang bang ice cream on Ossington, so you know it’s top tier quality and taste. My family and I’s favourites are the craq puff, sticky bun, cinnamon bun, and brownie! You honestly can’t go wrong with any baked good here.

Visited EVERY OTHER DAY during my stay in Roncy! In terms of variety and sophistication, best bake shop in the neighbourhood and possibly the best I’ve had in Toronto. My favourites are their cream puff series and the seasonal fruity chiffon cakes 🍰 both options would be best suited for those who aren’t into overly sweet treats. The mango and coconut chiffon cake is still my favourite of all the items I’ve tried. It’s light, refreshing, and flavourful - the best kind of cake for summer and doesn’t leave you feeling heavy. All their cream puff flavours are delicious, tried their vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, lemon and caramel. I must say that the caramel definitely left an impression as it tasted more burnt and Smokey, which is quite different from what I was expecting, in a good way so the sweetness wasn’t over powering at all. Highly recommend!

I wish I had the appropriate words to describe how every bite there feels. Everything is just that good. And the spot is very welcoming. I first went to try their delicious and viral banana pudding last year, but I had to come back to try more. The gluten free brownie, the jalapeño scones and their classic cinnamon rolls didn’t disappoint at all. Everything was amazing. Coffee was pretty outstanding too. The brownie, omg. I will come back for more. Soon. —— I just came back again 😂 to try the double moist mayonnaise cake. Please try that one too. Try everything.

I visit once in a while and everything that I get is fairly tasty. My favourite items are the strawberry chiffon cake (seasonal), cinnamon buns, any cream puff. They also offer ice cream from Bang Bang. Some items such as cream puffs and some cakes may not be available until later in the day. Just as a warning, everything is more expensive than what you might expect them to be.

Wow!!! This bakery is an amazing find in a city of tourist trap bakeries! Every item in there is so unique that i was stressing out when it came my turn to pick what i wanted. I ended up choosing a staple, a chocolate and lemon combo, in my the chocolate ganache cake and lemon curd crème puff. The chocolate cake was so decadent yet the chocolate wasn’t all that sweet so the combination made the cake just perfect! I wanted to try something new, and i saw the crème puffs just looked so pretty that i needed to get one. The puff pastry was perfectly well made, the creme as well was splendid, but i feel as if the combination of the very sweet creme and very sweet lemon curd, was just too much that you couldn’t take very many bites. It was also soggier than i would have liked it, but that was also because i tried it at the end of the day, so it was probably my fault for that reason. I really wanted to get their banana pudding but i didn’t see it until after i ordered and i didn’t want to over do it. Only other downside i would say is that it is a very small inside and only so many people can fit, and when you are ordering, it feels overwhelming and overcrowded. But I would definitely come back here again and recommend to anyone visiting toronto!

I recently visited this branch and had a somewhat mixed experience. We ordered coffee and a cappuccino along with some cakes, and while the food quality stood out, there were areas that could be improved. The cakes were absolutely delicious—rich, fresh, and bursting with flavor. They were definitely the highlight of the visit. The croissants and other baked goods looked tempting as well, making it a good spot for a quick treat. However, the coffee was fairly average and didn’t stand out as anything special. The service, unfortunately, was a bit of a letdown. The staff member who served us wasn’t very friendly or welcoming. While not outright rude, it seemed like they lacked the professionalism and warmth that make a customer feel valued. Overall, this place is good for a quick coffee and cake stop, especially if you’re craving something sweet. However, better customer service and more attention to detail with the coffee could elevate the experience.

Nice coffee shop with an interesting selection of pastries. There are some unique flavours of croissants but all slightly on a higher price range. The coffee and the matcha latte were great. The place can definitely use some dusting as there were plenty of spider webs around all the ceiling lights!

Delicious, creative looking pastries. I had the Vietnamese coffee croissant. There is a little squeeze container of condensed milk. Very flavorful inside with the chocolate. Not overly sweet. However, the croissant was dry and might have been more than a day old. I would like to try their Basque cheesecake next. Drinks, it's essentially Chatime w/ pastries. Place has ample seating at the time of day we went. Tables weren't being wiped down but otherwise, not super dirty. It has a modern cafe look inside. I've been here when it has been busy, so it depends. Don't expect to park in the area.

A few months ago, I visited Bake Code, and it was a good experience! The outdoor seating area was nice, offering a pleasant view of Yonge Street. The variety of desserts was impressive—not only were they eye-catching, but they were also mouthwatering and delicious. The coffee complemented them perfectly. It’s a great spot for an evening gathering with friends. I highly recommend it Follow me for more local insights!

Wowowowow! They have some really unique pastries. Got the honey croissant, (kinjaki?) Swiss roll, and chocolate walnut croissant. All absolutely amazing and definitely strays away from your typical ordinary flavours. Although I won't lie, it can get quite pricey, but I think for the quality and uniqueness it's not too too bad. I wanted to try the croissant swirls but I'm guessing you'll have to come earlier as they were sold out after 9pm. Also they do some deals like no tax if you buy 6 pastries or buy 5 get 1 free. Might take advantage of that next time. One thing I might request from the owners is to add plastic cutlery and napkins with the order. Also they charge for bags which is normally complimentary at most bakeries which I thought was bizzare.

When I arrived, the place was packed with people, but the staff was quick and respectful while taking orders. They didn’t rush me when I asked about different items. All the pastries were fresh, with a delicate flavor and balanced sweetness. My top recommendation, however, is their cheesecakes. Be sure to give them a try!

Tried cakes and unique croissant flavors here 2 years ago — and after a long break, came back for their ‘Skin’ desserts. Tried 4 flavors this time: tiramisu coffee, mango, strawberry, and red velvet — all fresh, all extraordinary!

The croissants and blueberry cake tastes really amazing! Love the experience overall. The almond croissant was the highlight!! Must try bakery/cafe in downtown. They have multiple and unique flavours. They also have a variety of options for breakfast and lunch as well! Additionally the staff is efficient and makes your experience worth- while. Great place with great vibes!

Nice vibe and outdoor atmosphere. Very nice and friendly staff. Food below average. Latte had too much milk vs amount of coffee. Canele bottom was kind of burned. Almond croissant was only crispy at both ends and rest very doughy. Didn’t meet expectations for food.

This is the cutest food stall in the First Canadian Place. Enjoyed my vanilla latte made with oat milk. ☕ My avocado tartine was artfully presented and delicious. 🥑 Service was swift and friendly.

If you like sweet coffee drinks do yourself a favor and try their salted tahini honeycomb latte. One of my top 3 coffee drinks I have ever tried. Such an interesting and well working combinations. Maman if you read this please expand to Seattle or Hamburg, Germany. Thank you!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

If you ever find yourself at Maman Café, do yourself a favor and try everything — but especially the Smashed Avocado Tartine. It’s hands down the best thing on the menu and an absolute must-try. The café itself has that warm French flair to it that makes you want to linger, and the staff are honestly the best — welcoming, friendly, and always on point. Don’t miss this gem! I’m not the best food-fluencer but trust me it’s worth every bite!

Maman has to be one of the best spots for coffee and baked goods! The croissants are to die for! So good! Absolutely love it!!

This is a very cute cafe in the heart of the Financial District, on the food court concourse level of First Canadian Place (FCP). They have 2 communal dining tables if you’d like to enjoy your meal at the cafe that makes you feel like at hime; or, you can use the food court tables. They have great variety of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free sandwiches, salads, soup and pastries. They also have creative and seasonal drinks menu. I strongly recommend “Katie’s Chicken Sandwich” and “Lynett’s Chipotle Chicken Salad Sandwich”. “Salted Tahini Honeycomb Latte” was very unique and creative, and it was at the right temperature to enjoy it right away. The staff are friendly and patient with the hangry people at lunchtime. Lol

I am very disappointed with this bakery. Firstly I ordered a 10 inch Vanilla Cake with custom design. Unfortunately to start the design was not as expected. I waited until today to review because I was hoping that the cake flavour would make up for the lack of luster design unfortunately it did not. Considering the cost of this cake as basic is 98$ it was not worth the money or my drive- over 150 km to get the cake. The vanilla cake was okay it was very dense not fluffy and fresh tasting The icing was awful. It tasted like oil. It was very greasy and hard. I'm really sad to have to give this review because walking into the place looks lovely and I had high hopes and good expectations due to other reviews however I was extremely disappointed mostly with the flavour and texture of this cake.

Finally visited this bakery that also makes vegan cakes! They had at least half a dozen vegan goodies from what I glanced and the couple of options we tried were delicious. The vegan maple butter tart bar was too sweet for my taste. I can’t wait to try their carrot cake next! My husband loved the blueberry coconut bar. We are yet to try the vegan shepherd pie! They even had vegan cup cakes! I wish we didn’t find this place so we can stay away from delicious calories but now that we did we better find ways to burn it! It’s so good! They are also very kind. The baker stepped out to tell us there is hot bread ready! So glad they chose to make vegan baked goods. I soo wish they made vegan scones. I’ve only been able to find those in Montreal and no where in Toronto yet!

I went late in the day, but they still had a lot of great stuff! I'm a big fan of the sourdough bagels and the macarons. My partner got some fresh soup which he really enjoyed. I like that they had some savoury options, since I'm not really a big fan of sweets. Great that there is a delivery option too, since they are not at all local to me.

We decided to pop in to check out this bakery but we didn’t realize it was gluten free. I was at first comparing it to the more well known bakeries and then realized that it was more of a health conscious approach of a bakery. Nonetheless, I got a few items which included a cupcake, cookies, and cinnamon rolls. I went for the vegan options. The cookies and cupcake were tasty, very nice and right amount of sugar, held up very well and wasn’t crumbly. The cinnamon rolls I found to be less “cinnamon-y” than I would’ve liked, but by the second day of having it, I enjoyed it warm! If you’re like me and are used to traditional bake shops, give this place a try and go in with an open mindset! Service was great also, the cashier was very kind and patient with us as we were trying to decide what to get! I’m glad I visited and can’t wait to visit again!

They make the best gluten free sourdough bread and bagels in the city. Ingredients and quality are top notch. Took me a while to find them but now that I am, I’m a regular. I’ve tried a few of the baked goods as well and have always enjoyed everything I’ve tried. Customer service is excellent and if you’re lucky you’ll pop in when they’re recipe testing and get to try something yummy before it’s ready to be sold.

They seem to be redefining what taste means to gluten free baked goods. Moist cupcakes, very lemony and crumbly lemon squares, an apple strudel that was savoury and sweet, and a maple pecan bar that goes perfect with coffee. If you haven't been, it's a little tough to find as it's nestled just off of Ellesmere Road in Unit 4 of a very long multi unit building. There's very little signage off of the road, but it's worth looking for. The woman at the front of the store was very conversational and sweetly friendly. She was very accommodating answering all my silly questions about gluten free foods and made me feel very comfortable. Whether you have a gluten sensitivity or not, this is definitely a bakery worth visiting and trying. If it's not for you, it's not for you, but I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised. Thanks Whisked!

I had high expectations for this place, because of all the positive reviews. I like eating vegan and gluten-free when I can. I tried the cookies n creme vegan cupcake, and it's probably one of the worst cupcakes I've ever had. The chocolate cake part tasted like bananas (no chocolate flavour at all!) and there was still (many) sugar granules in the icing!! I got 6 bars, and they were fine.

The coffee was great. But the croissants were as a disappointment. The competition on Avenue Rd is far superior. Breakfast was lacking inspiration.

Nice bakery cafe. They have a lot of bread and pastry options. Lots of comfy seating inside and a small patio. The day I went in I was told that their espresso machine was not working. Also, the wait time was rather long even though there were not too many customers. I think they could have benefited from having 1 more staff working. The almond croissant was excellent. The blueberry tart looked better than it tasted, but was still good. 😋 Overall, it was a good first experience, but I would have liked to have a coffee with my pastry.

A recent trip to the Forest Hill area brought us to find this lovely French bakery cafe. Bought some interesting croissants like almond/honey and banana/coconut. They were gone before I took photos. The other two were coconut and then a mixed berry, also very nice. A couple of lovely fruit tarts and some delicious hot chocolate rounded out a very nice visit. Great place to practice your French too!

I’ve been to this place so many times last year twice every month at least I am Handicapped and in a motorized wheelchair. I was there Friday, July 4 and it was the worst service I have ever received. I asked for crêpes they said they had none. I asked for something else they could not make it because no chef was on duty. I asked for a regular sandwich just ham and cheese. It took over 40 minutes and I did not get my sandwich. I asked for a refund. Horrible service I will not go there anymore I hope this helps others make a decision

Amazing quality cakes! Yes, the price is high but definitely worth it for a special occasion. You do need to enjoy your dessert though, so don’t go here if you don’t have a sweet tooth.

The portions are poor and the price is significantly higher compared to your local cafe. Foods are more expensive than ordering from a proper restaurant. No wifi either. The pastries seems to be good tho. I would do take out pastry and coffee only here.

Galette regular 🙆🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️(the almond cream filling has amazing texture and is very creamy, milky. The puff is also crispy and chewy. Delicious
