49 Best Bakeries in Hamilton

“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.“

“Donuts, bread and espresso.“

“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!“

“My husband had my birthday catered this past weekend. Food was amazing especially the chicken lasagna which had chunks (not ground!) of chicken and amazing thin pasta. All food was great and lots of leftovers for an amazing price. Will definitely use them in the future for family gatherings“

“We took our dog there for her 1st birthday. This was also our first time going there. Great people, dogs and food. I ordered a western breakfast sandwich and it was made to perfection. Our dog really enjoyed the home made dog treats.
We will definitely be going back.“

“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!“

“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 ❤️“

“I had a wonderful first experience at this restaurant. The food is absolutely spectacular. My favorite is the hummus with beef on top. Their breads are made fresh and everything is seasoned very well. Their falafel is also super delicious!!“

“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!“

“I drive past this place every day on my way to work so I decided to message them about getting a cake for my daughter’s birthday. I was absolutely blown away by not only the mouthwatering flavour of my cake but also the exceptional service that came along with it. It hasn’t even been 24 hours yet and I am still dreaming about this cake. It was that good. I have hired many different bakers to make my kids cakes over the years and ever have failed in comparison. I will never go anywhere else for my cakes again. Thank you guys so much for everything.“

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

“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“

“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😋“

“Ran down here once my sister discovered this spot and we loved it! The cinnamon buns are amazing and so are the brownies. Tried an iced chai latte as well and it was great! I wish there was more of a sitting area, besides that, I can't wait to return.“

“Extremely delicious cupcakes. However, warning. I google searched “gluten free bakeries near me”. This place comes up on top. Saying gluten free. No sign that I could clearly see up front on store indicating regarding GF so my mistake I assumed the entire bakery was GF. ordered cupcakes and got sick. Obviously being celiac that’s on me to ask. But google should not have listed this up front. And perhaps better signage in store. But again my fault. Just warning my celiac comrades.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Beautiful space to sit and relax. Enjoy some sweets or take a box to go. Lots of variety to choose from and the decor is lovely. You can also get ice cream on those hot days or maybe a coffee for a nice pick me up. Would recommend stopping by.“

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

“Every new dessert we’ve tried from fairly frosted is amazing. The last being her cinnamon buns and lemon pie. Two thumbs up from the teenager!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Great find, but hard to find! It’s worth the search!“

“Whenever I am in the area, I have to stop in! Their breakfast sandwiches and lox & cream cheese sandwiches are my go-to. Portions and pricing are fair for quality food. Sometimes the wait times are a little long, but they can be busy and doing it right for each customer takes time. Please open a shop in Milton! We need a good bagel place!“

“Michelle helped me create the best possible cake for my friend’s 30th birthday within the budget I had. She patiently shopped for the most amazing accessories while keeping me involved through the process with pics, crafted little figurines in sugar, and made a sign in the font I want, and made all the colours pop! The red velvet cake was so incredible that my friend who really is not into dessert absolutely loved it and ate it all! It also survived a 4 hour road trip to Detroit. Since my husband has gotten my two tiered beach/bbq themed cake from her, plus we got macarons and cupcakes too another time. She is super helpful, crazy creative, professional, sweet, cheerful and amazingly talented at what she does. Her IG makes me drool and her cakes leave me wanting more! I am sad I didn’t know of her during my wedding planning and would have gotten my wedding cake from her too. Michelle, don’t forget me when you have a billion clients all over the world one day!“

“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“

“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 !“

“Great service, coffee and yummy treats.“

“yummy selection of pies, tarts and breads“

“Thank you christina ! Very elegant 50th birthday cake. Kiko and Lyn“

“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.“

“Best baked goods we have ever had in Canada. True class of high quality cakes. My wife and I had tasted sweet delights from many parts of the world but could believe that a bakery on Barton St. in Hamilton could outmatch five star restaurants. Don't be fooled by the humble store front. If you know your pastries you will fall in love with Karlic.“

“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.“

“Amazing owners, at this time of need they are in Hamilton on Thursdays if you can't find example..bread, cookies, famous meat pies & more. Check them out on facebook.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food and fantastic people!“

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

“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!“

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