48 Best Bakeries in Hamilton

“Went with my wife and two young girls…greeted with smile felt welcomed. While we waited for our delicious, fresh pizza, they allowed my 15 month old to venture around the back, and they didn’t bat an eye! Very nice people working. Pizza and Donuts were delish!!!! Definitely going to be going back!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Amazing Dog pawsitive atmosphere.
Thursday lunch hour ( all day breakfast ). Our 1st visit we are greated with a friendly reminder to have our Labrador ( Highway ) use the green outside so not to interrupt our dining experience.

“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 ❤️“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“ordered their Thanksgiving feast meal the mega one and I am very disappointed first when I had my step dad go pick up the order for me cuz I'm sick they forgot to give them all the order so he had to go back later that day to pick up the remaining items in the order and secondly when my mother went to go cook the meal on Sunday after picking it up on Friday but the stuffing smelt sour which is unusual because it's stuffing and the dough for the pies were undercooked even when they put it in their oven for 60 minutes which is way over the instructions the Hamilton meat pie recommended. I will not be comming back“

“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 was here on February 27th and had the grilled chicken sandwich with Italian wedding soup. It was absolutely delicious—5 stars! ⭐️ Got a sweet treat after , chocolate strawberry matcha latte with strawberry cheesecake. 😋“

“A great experience and worth the stop. As someone trying to expand my food palette, this was an exceptionally good restaurant. They were kind and knowledgeable, and their service was excellent. Spend your money local and support businesses just like these!! Those 5 stars are well deserved, so yummy!“

“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.“

“The food, staff, decor and everything else about this place is fantastic. Brought a big group of friends (even my 13yo niece) and everyone loved the food and had a great time. We will definitely be going here again next time we are in the Hamilton area.“

“Amazing fresh and traditional food! Great taste and quality with everything they sell. Their bread is amazing and great to bring home for the family along with the other fresh baked foods. It’s all made daily and prices are great. The place is clean and customer service was great!“

“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“

“Cupcakes of Westdale Village is a Hamilton treasure! Their work is gourmet, custom baked, creative, beautiful, and delicious! Check their website! Their service and attention to detail are exemplary. They handled a special urgent custom order with excellence. Get your cupcakes there! You owe it to yourself and those you love!“

“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.“

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

“where do l start. lt has been a decade since I've been here, but to my disappointment the service( lady was rude and unfriendly). l wanted to walk out , instead l did or something from the deli because l wanted to remember the good food and goid times of when l used to come and l was with a friend and l was looking forward to this moment. Nothing else to say!“

“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.“

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

“Very kind, very consistent. Can’t go wrong here.

I came to get some gifts for a party last minute and they helped me out right away.

While I was ordering, the nice lady let me try some of her favourites.

Will definitely be coming back.“

“Cute little café with a nice concept. I loved the QR code ordering system—it gave me time to look through the menu and decide what I wanted without feeling rushed.

We sat on the patio, but I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s right on the street, and the tables and chairs were small and not very comfortable.

We ordered the S’mores Latte, the Ice Ice Baby cold brew, and two breakfast sandwiches (the Gatsby and the Malibu), which came to about $50. The Malibu was definitely the standout and was absolutely delicious. The drinks and the Gatsby were fine, but nothing particularly memorable.

Overall, it was a pleasant visit, but for the price, I was expecting a bit more. The Malibu was worth trying, but everything else felt a little underwhelming.“

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

“yummy selection of pies, tarts and breads“

“Love love the burek !😋 The best outside of Serbia.... I drive from Kingston, Ont to this store . Also love the other imported products . The deli is great, also the baked goods are delicious. Service is super friendly 👍 Great place !“

“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 delicious pastries and baked goods for any special occasion. Never disappointed.“

“Michelle has the best cake ever so many selections and all are very good, I have been using her for all my occasions for over a year now and everything is delicious even her customer service is really good I do recommend her for sure.“

“One of the best bagel places in Hamilton! They have a variety of types of Bagels and flavors you can choose , ranging from a plane bagel and cream cheese to a bagel btl sandwich. The flavor is always amazing and the portion size is good for the price. Employees are always super welcoming and efficient. I always love to get the cheap day old Bagel packs and just freeze it for later. Apart from the freshly made Bagels, they also have a variety of fridge products like smoked salmon, drinks, and sauces. Definitely a great place to grab a quick bite or sit down on round tables. Heavily recommended!!“

“Love the different teatimes“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“I am so delighted to recommend the Pane Fresco Pizza! I haven't tried every flavour, but most of them and they are superb. I'm having a graduation celebration for my daughter in June and will certainly be ordering a selection of them...Perfetto“

“What a gem of a location! To be honest, after my last visit, I was under the impression this place was going downhill with some rude staffing. However, Kathy completely turned that around. She was incredibly helpful, delightful, and so insightful that I was genuinely surprised to find out she wasn't the manager! Her wonderful service completely sold me on coming to this Dundas location instead of the Ancaster one. I will definitely be doing all of my shopping here from now on. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“Great people Great foods“

“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.“

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

“We just had our daughters communion catered by Sweet Paradise Bakery. (Hamilton Location) It was absolutely delicious!! We knew it would be as we have been customers for long standing but just WOW! Fresh, hot and just extremely flavourful! Our guests enjoyed everything so much and the pastries were just fresh and delicious as well. 5 stars from our family and if your thinking of an event definitely give this family owned business an opportunity to wow you as well. Thank you to all who prepared our event🕊️ -Jen & Lui Marrello“

“we walked past this food stall when visiting the Hamilton Farmers' Market and were attracted by all the colorful food, the big jars of pickled serrano, macha chili oil and creamy arbol. I ordered a mixed plate of tacos, quesidillas and pupusas. it was delicious!“

“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!“

“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!“

“The atmosphere felt comfortable, and the staff handled everything smoothly. You can tell they care about doing things right, from how the orders are prepared to how customers are treated. It made my visit easy and enjoyable, and I left satisfied. Definitely one of the better Tim Hortons I’ve been to.“
