50 Best Bakeries in Hamilton

“Donuts, bread and espresso.“

“Their desserts are delicious. They are the best in all of GTA. The tastiest 'zainud al-sitt' you can find is in Canada, along with the best baklava. The sweetness of the desserts is perfectly balanced—not too much. As for their service, it's excellent. The staff welcome you with a smile, offer you a piece of sweetness, and serve you quickly.“

“Munchies Coffee House & Barkery
I stopped in for the first time without knowing much about the place. I'm usually a Starbucks or Tim Hortons regular and stick to my goto which is a double-double (2 cream, 2 sugar). I explained my usual order and preferences, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful like they were making the coffee for themselves. Honestly, it was the best cup of coffee I've had. Better than Tim Hortons. Better than Starbucks. This place is a must try. Amazing coffee, delicious pastries, super reasonable prices, customer service is out of the world and top tier quality. Highly recommended!“

“Our family ordered 3 trays of lasagna, a Greek salad and 1 1/2 garden salad for a Celebration of Life. We had this all delivered. The food was delicious! The lasagnas were hot with lots of meat, pasta and sauce and the salads were fresh with lots of vegetables & dressing that we added ourselves to our taste. The Greek salad was exceptional & we would order only that in the future. Len & Lester were wonderful to deal with & extremely patient & helpful, answering all my questions. Our delivery person was very friendly & set things up for us perfectly. We had no complaints during a very stressful time and would order from them again with no hesitation.“

“Truly the most amazing pastries I’ve ever tasted. First time I tried them with my family and everything I bought was amazing. If you want the best quality you have to shop here and you’ll never go anywhere else. People are also awesome ❤️“

“Simply amazing bread, you can taste the passion and care and quality they put into the bread. So many great varieties and innovative breads too! Highly recommend. This is what great bread tastes like!“

“Great place to pick apples. Apples are amazingly delicious. Trees were plentiful. We definitely will be back again.“

“If you're in Hamilton and looking for a place that combines fresh, delicious Mediterranean food with a welcoming simple atmosphere, Teba Restaurant is a good choice! The bakery section is top-notch, offering a wide selection of freshly baked goods that are both flavorful and wholesome. Every bite feels like it's made with care, and you can tell they prioritize quality ingredients.

The staff here is incredibly friendly, always ready to offer recommendations. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a meal, the prices are more than reasonable. Highly recommend it!“

“I’ve been going to MySweeTooth for almost a year now. They have a variety of drinks and pastries. I have to say not everything on the menu is my taste, but I’ve still always enjoyed my experience there. The owners are so nice! And I always feel like a valued customer when I am there. Some of my favourites are there Mango Slushy with Coconut Cream Jelly or Ice Cream and their Hot Dog milk buns. Just this week I finally had the chance to try their fresh Strawberry and Mango mochi, WOW! I think the thickness of the mochi really complements the cream inside well. Even if you only have the chance to go their once, it’s defiantly worth it.“

“Sam's is a great 'old-school' bakery! My father-in-law owned La Favorita Bakery on Concession, which closed when he retired. He's still good friends with the owner & enjoys when I buy him a treat!“

“Purchased the 4-6 people thanks giving dinner and one extra turkey pie.
Food was delicious, plenty of food, and the pumpkin pie was great. Store was super busy and crowded but just speaks to the quality of food and portion size that many order from here. Would highly recommend, and will be purchasing other items in future! Happy Thanksgiving????“

“Had a lovely experience picking up a couple of pizzas and desserts from here! Ordered three different pizzas and all were cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. Couldn’t pass up trying a few cannolis as well … and they filled them fresh to order! We tried both the Sicilian and Venetian cannolis and they were both amazing! Full of delicious filling and not too sweet! 10/10 from Nonna! Will definitely be coming back for more!“

“the coconut cream pie is AWESOME!!!! You must try it!“

“Just started working in kitchen, the staff is amazing, treat you like family, it's a wonderful atmosphere always clean and inviting. As for the food it's even more better. Going to gain lots weight working here lol😋“

“I absolutely love Beyond the Batter. I have been getting cupcakes from them for years and recommend them to all my friends and family. As a photographer, I've taken photos of their cupcakes for assignments, and they are always so perfect! Other than looks, they're always moist and delicious.“

“A big shoutout to Domenic for his amazing talent in making the most delicious and beautiful uncrumbled Birthday cakes and having The Best Customer Service in the City. Our 2-1/2 yr old grand-daughter sat with her nose an inch from the sprinkled covered cake waiting for me to serve. The cakes were loved by all. 💜“

“I walked in here hoping to have a little snack and the gentleman who served me was both kind, welcoming and professional. The falafel was SUPER yummy and made fresh!
Highly recommend

Vegetarian options: Falafel is vegetarian and always a nice quick high protein choice!“

“We lost our premier place Dee’s Tarts in Cambridge and because some friends recommended a place in Newmarket so I googled best butter tarts in Ontario and Bitten came up. They were the best. We will return to Hamilton to get butter tarts“

“We have picked pumpkins here for the last two years and every time we have been given conflicting information. We came again this year just to pick pumpkins, expecting to do what we did the last two years, bypass the line, pick a pumpkin and pay on the way out. Instead we were stopped, told we needed to wait in line, pay $6 per person admission (?) then if all we wanted to do was pick pumpkins, then pick them and pay $5 per pumpkin on the way out (?!) We spoke to a young couple we saw leaving with a pumpkin, and they said they had just walked in and paid $5 for a pumpkin… We left without pumpkins and they have lost a repeat customer.“

“I visited this location today and walked away with a BIG smile on my face. The lady that served me had such a BIG heart and was so kind! I shared with her that I was there to pick up a cinnamon roll for my 96-year old aunt who was waiting for me in the car as cinnamon rolls are one of her favourite treats. She boxed it up very nicely and slid it across the counter and said "this one's on me". Wow!!! In these days we live in, it's rare to come across individuals who are as thoughtful and kind and generous as this lady was. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your amazing gesture! And, funny enough, on our way out of the parking lot, there was a lady with a sign that said that she was "very hungry", so I was able to "pay the gesture" forward by giving that lady some money. What a day! Thank you, God, for these "little" things that mean so much.“

“breads, roll in the hay, cookies, crumble cups“

“I didn't have much experience with Lebanese food but I'm a convert now. Loved the food and the prices were good. Will definitely be going back.“

“The picture I sent for inspo vs what we got ! Looks just like the picture and matched our goal gender reveal! Super cute we were having a girl so when everyone bit in to them it was pink icing in the middle …thank you for making our day special and coming threw with super delicious gender reveal cupcakes!!!“

“We discovered The Hearty Hooligan after our daughter was diagnosed with an dairy allergy. We now eat here once a week! The food is always consistent regardless of the day of the week or how busy they are. Our favourites are the pickle fries and pizza rolls, we’ve also enjoyed the Mac and Cheese Bake, Moe’s fries, Mac and Cheese burrito, Crunch wraps.. all delicious! We usually add on a dessert to our order which is almost always a punkaroo cookie! The cupcakes and cookies are always good too. The atmosphere is fun and inviting and the staff is always friendly and welcomes you like they’ve known you for years.“

“The Kremsnita (Krempita) is PERFECT—Delicious!“

“Soooooo good! No matter what type of baklava is your favourite, they have it! Samples help you make your choices from a large selection… Buy based on weight, so you can try a little of a lot, and figure out your faves. Price is very fair, considering the quality is great!

Kid-friendliness: Family friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible, with large bathroom.“

“Ordering the cake was easy with help from the staff. They were so nice, and the cake was beautiful. It made my morning so much easier the day of the party, I just had to pick up and pay, it was nice and quick. Everyone was asking where we got the cake from, and we definitely spread the word. We love supporting local businesses in our community. We ordered the fruit cake, and the sweetness was just right, and it was nice and light almost like a trifle. Perfect for a birthday that’s on a hot day!!“

“Absolutely amazing baked goods! I’ve been df/gf for close to 13 years and never have I ever found products that not only have a great variety of options but for them to taste so incredibly delicious! This will definitely be an absolute must stop and fill up when we are in town. So incredibly yummy and not overly sweet like some places.“

“Great people great food“

“OG bagel spot, can’t get better than this from freshness, friendliness and atmosphere in the shop. If you like old school style shop where all you want to do is eat your bagel in peace with some coffee this is it! Staff are always laughing and cheerful and Pops there is always ready to chat it up with you no matter what! They’ve given me a warm welcome everytime I walk in and because of that the bagels just taste a little better than anyone else’s:)

Dietary restrictions: Vegan options“

“yummy selection of pies, tarts and breads“

“The first time I tried their baked goods my daughter brought home a baquet it was amazing...I went myself bought croissants the garlic one , cheese and chocolate also took some of their pot pies and sausage roll....Oh my sooo worth the money...If you haven't been you need to check it out...But go early as they sell out fast“

“We had Michelle’s ube macaroons, aMazING! My 7 year old wouldn’t stop talking about them. She had most of it, so I ate the last two. She was very upset with me, so she asked me to get her a whole box for herself. 🤦🏻‍♀️“

“Awesome taste..I like it..💗“

“I don't like oatmeal raisin but somehow yours is delicious enough for me to eat 2 packs at a time. Love your chocolate chip cookies too.“

“I didn't answer the Atmosphere question because I've never been to the store. I live in a retirement residence and for the last few months Cobb's bread has been coming here once a month and laying out a wonderful display of breads, buns, scones, danish pastries, etc. The first time they were here I bought a loaf of cinnamon bread, (without raisins........how wonderful). It is so good, I love toasting it for breakfast. I've also had their scones and a couple of other "goodies". Everything is simply delicious and the woman who comes here to sell their products is so helpful and accommodating. On Tuesday, I hope to visit the Osler Ave. location in person. So sorry you're not on our calendar for June...........hope you're back in July. Would definitely recommend their products.“

“Delights in a Box created my daughters 13th Birthday cookies! It was extra special because my daughter is an equestrian and was celebrating with her team at a horse show and Melissa was able to incorporate her team logo, beautiful horse themed designs mixed with her birthday in different individually wrapped cookies perfect for outdoors.. Melissa is extremely creative. The cookies were not only beautiful but very tasty too! They were loved by all and we will be reordering! Thank you Melissa!“

“Was our breakfast stop on Monday morning and it was a great choice. Friendly atmosphere, good food, portions were bigger than we expected and it was a good surprise. Coffe is great. Wish they had more tables and space. Also better to ask them about the dish, as some descriptions doesn't say that it is spicy, which would be frustrating for someone who can not tolerate peppers. Overall great experience.“

“Their delivery service is amazing! A great selection of products, fair prices and fantastic quality.“

“We recently ordered from them for our school graduation ceremony and the service was outstanding! The food was fresh, appetizing and exactly as ordered. They exceeded our expectations. Will be a repeat customer for sure, well done!! We ordered from Giselle at the Bovaird and Torbram location and she was an absolute sweetheart to deal with and went above and beyond!“

“Try the Iced Caramel Latte, it's the best! Also the coconut raspberry tarts are to die for!“

“Great food and fantastic people!“

“Got there right as the mall opened on a Saturday3 hungry boys who had never experienced the greatness that is a fresh still warm Cinnabon!!We sat inside with a peach lemonade to wash them down…Delicious, friendly service and a great start to a family day shoppingWell done Cinnabon!“

“Love it here. It’s so cozy. Lots of their little treats and baked goods are gluten free and I believe they are all vegan. Their brunch menu is good too! Very generous portions. They always play the perfect cozy calm music, you can reserve a table which I would recommend doing on the weekends. I’m the warmer months they have some patio tables out on the sidewalk to watch all the Locke street dogs walking by. The banana bread is 20/10. I also love their matcha oat latte with strawberry syrup.“

“Great place to meet up with friends! Always the best service!“

“Delicious, quality food. But it's from a stall at a grocery store, so don't expect date ambiance.

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian sandwiches and sides. All quite tasty

Parking: Standard grocery store parking lot

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible tables, aisles, washrooms, and doors.“

“I have to say, the setup of the food court is very different than other campus food courts I've been to, but I enjoy it. You can order food from a few different restaurants and walk around checking out drink and grab-and-go coolers or getting some self-serve soft ice cream while you wait. The atmosphere is a little anxiety-inducing with everyone walking in every direction, but you get used to it. I give props to the cashiers who serve 2 lines at once as you leave!“
