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.“

“I went because I wanted a caffe where I could take my dog, and I wasn’t expecting much. But I was happily surprised the food was excellent, the coffee was great, and the service was amazing, they are very friendly and kind. I would definitely be coming back often. This place is not only if you have a dog it’s a great Coffee house!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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. 😋“

“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.“

“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😋“

“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 ❤️“

“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“

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

“This place is honestly incredible, offering an exceptional dining experience that combines genuine hospitality with some of the best food you will ever eat. From the moment you walk in, the staff treats you like family, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel completely at home.
What makes it truly special is the way everything is prepared. The master cooks handle every single dish fresh right in front of you, bringing an incredible level of skill and authenticity to the table. If you love Syrian food, this is easily the best you will ever taste in your life. Their traditional plates are phenomenal, especially the foul shami, which is rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. Coupled with their falafel, which is hands down the absolute best you can find—crispy on the outside, perfectly tender on the inside, and bursting with fresh herbs—every single bite is unforgettable. It is an extraordinary spot for anyone looking for authentic cuisine, amazing hospitality, and a genuinely memorable meal.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Very close to being in Montreal. These bagels are worth the drive I take to get here. Montreal is too far and these are pretty darn close. Toasted with cream cheese is my go to. I tried a poppy seed Hamentashen. I love deserts like this. Not too sweet a little dry and perfect for a dunk in coffee.“

“Went to Baklava King with my wife and honestly had such a great experience. The service was so genuine, friendly, and caring, which made the visit even better.

We don’t normally eat sweets, but the baklava and pastries were seriously good. Flaky, moist, buttery, with that perfect crisp texture you want from a good baklava. The fresh-baked kunafe was probably the highlight—crispy on the outside, soft and warm inside, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet.

You can really tell everything is made with care. Definitely coming back!“

“yummy selection of pies, tarts and breads“

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

“Hands down one of the best breakfast places I have discovered!! I had the brown butter apple crumble shortcake and let me tell you, it was unreal! The brown butter cream is made in house with the pancakes being super fluffy. A great combination overall. Had a chat with the owner and glad to hear that most items are made in house. Next time I am in Hamilton, I definitely know where to go for breakfast.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 Kremsnita (Krempita) is PERFECT—Delicious!“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“Love the different teatimes“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely love this place. The Cinnabon buns are my highlight, and the apple pie scones are awesome too along with the loaves. Try going in the morning about 20 30 mins after opening to get the most fresh options, the lemon blueberry scone right out of the oven is heavenly.“

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

“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.“

“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 people Great foods“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“
