Been dying to try this out and since we were heading for a shopping haul to Vaughan Mills, thought we'd stop by. Had the Chicken-Bacon and the Mortadella-Pistachio sandwiches, along with some flat white coffees. Amazing stuff! Also took the Pistachio double baked, almond double baked, Tiramisu and Apple crumble croissants. All super delicious and just the right crisp!! Definitely try the pistachio double baked if you're ever there!
Bartholomew Bakery is a great find in Vaughan. The location is easy to access and parking is available, which is always a plus.
I want to add something personal here: I’m gluten sensitive, and whenever I eat bread or pastries with gluten, I usually get serious stomach pain. That said, their sandwiches and pastries looked so beautiful, fresh, and tempting that I decided to try them anyway — and honestly, they were worth it.
The quality, texture, and overall craftsmanship are truly impressive. Even for someone with gluten intolerance, I’d still say it’s worth coming to try, because the baking quality is just that good. You can really feel the technique and care behind what they make. I genuinely enjoyed the experience and really liked this place.
Highly recommended for anyone around Vaughan or the GTA.

Very well deserving of 5 stars. The pistachio croissant is made with real pistachio stuffing with a crisp yet dense and flavour shell. The flat white was very tasty too.

Their treats literally take you to the heaven briefly when you just bite on it. I would say this is the best pistachio croissant I ever had in Toronto. Poached pare danish pastry and pain au chocolat are absolutely delicious.
Their fuchsia sandwich (the one with pistachio and mortadella ham, I guess) is also really good. will go back and highly recommend this gem!

The freshest sourdough bread around. Made the tastiest grilled cheese with it. Also tried one of their turkey sandwiches with mustard on a focaccia bun. Mama Mia absolutely delicious. Not a huge desserts person by my children love their sweet offerings as well.

Bartholomew Bakery got a lot of hype during the pandemic. Images of people lining up first thing in the morning circulated online.
Finally had the chance to try it out. The Almond Twice Baked Croissant is hands out the best croissant I’ve ever tried. Worth every hype. Balance between flakiness, softness and good amount of filling and almonds. The quality of it is amazing.
As it comes to their Maple Pecan Monkey Bread, I’ll try the Pistachio Twice Baked Croissant the next time.
No lineup, but a constant stream of customers. No place to sit, it’s just a grab and go place. Most of their customers bought boxes upon boxes of baked goods. No kidding, business is good for this bakery.
No issues with anything, except parking. I went during business hours and had a hard time finding parking. It’s worth going to this bakery, but I would rather go with another person, so one can remain in the car while the other buys the stuff.
Cash, debit and credit cards are accepted. No washroom facilities onsite.
Buy 4 pastries and above to get a box.
Dear Store Manager, if you visit your website and go to the Visit Page, scroll down and you will notice a discrepancy between your closing time during the week.
One states you close at 3:00PM. Another spot, you have a mixture of closing time of 2:00PM and 3:00PM. Please fix to avoid disappointed customers, especially if they are coming up from the GTA.
The croissants are delicious and among the highest-quality to be found in the GTA. I have yet to try the sandwiches or the bread, but they look exquisite as well. Anyone who is interested in refined French-style baking should definitely make the trip. It’s unfortunate that they’re located in a desolate commercial district in south Vaughan, but maybe they’ll relocate as their success continues. There’s no seating, but there are a few ledges to eat at. Lines can be quite long on the weekends, and there’s a good chance you’ll be waiting in line outside. On that note, the service could be quicker, and it’s a bit baffling that it’s not, considering the pastries are already baked and ready to serve. That said, the quality of the food itself cannot be doubted.
I’ve never been a big croissant / pastry person but Bartholomew has converted me! Everything I’ve tasted from there has been delicious and soft without being too sweet. The cinnamon roll is amazing and I also loved the cookies and cream pastry which had a soft gooey chocolate chip cookie inside! They give you a box if you order 4 or more pastries, or else they give you a bag which isn’t the best for serving/sharing. My only request would be to please expand and add seating for people who want to enjoy their coffee and treats in the store!

One of the top bakeries in the city! They offer an amazing selection, from artisanal pastries and fresh breads to frozen cheesecakes, chicken pies, and sandwiches. I especially loved their Caprese and turkey sandwiches — both are excellent.
A standout touch is their coffee, made with De Mello beans, which perfectly complements any treat. Weekends can get busy, but the line moves quickly, making it well worth the visit. Definitely a must-stop spot in Vaughan!
