Island Bakery and Take Out is truly a hidden gem in Scarborough for anyone who appreciates good food and genuine service. I have been buying food from this place for over 15 years, and the quality and consistency have kept me coming back.
The food here is tasty, well prepared, and full of authentic Sri Lankan Tamil flavors. At the same time, the menu also appeals to Caribbean customers, which speaks to how well balanced and approachable the food is. Whether you are familiar with Sri Lankan cuisine or trying it for the first time, the flavors are comforting and satisfying. Portions are generous, and the food feels home style rather than commercial.
The staff are always really nice, polite, and welcoming. You are treated like a regular, not just another customer passing through. The owner deserves special mention. He is a very friendly and hardworking gentleman who clearly takes pride in his business. You can tell a lot of effort goes into maintaining quality and keeping customers happy.
This place is also an excellent option for catering. I would strongly recommend Island Bakery and Take Out for functions, gatherings, and events where you want reliable food that people will actually enjoy and remember. Over the years, they have proven to be dependable and consistent, which matters a lot when ordering for a group.
Overall, Island Bakery and Take Out is one of those long standing neighborhood spots that quietly does everything right. If you are in Scarborough and looking for flavorful food, friendly service, and a place with a solid reputation built over many years, this is definitely worth visiting and supporting. Highly recommended. ❤️🇨🇦

The most reasonable south Asian (south Indian/Sri Lankan) eatery in GTA. The most amount of quantity and well seasoned food in Scarborough and anywhere in GTA as far as I have explored. This place is no less than a 5 star.
The service staff are respectful and the food gets prepared quickly. I love all their food but my special is their fried rice where they customize it to my request and add both shrimp and chicken.
Their portions easily feed 2/3 people per item be it Idli or dosai or idiypam or Puttu. I’m thankful for their service in this area.
P.S. Do not believe the negative reviews from entitled people. You’ll definitely not be disappointed for what you pay to get your food here.

Taste is ok. Not that great, nothing looked fresh to me. Vada and chicken patty were so dried.

One the best vegetarian meals that I had after long time. Everything was delicious. It was a catering. I highly recommend their veggie meals.
I am their customer for 20 years. Owner and the staff were very nice. But recently I got very bad experience from them they are start to cheating on the price. They are charging 3, 4 dollars up from the actuel price. One of the young guy purposely did that tricky, knowing the boss or not. I decided to no more go there and told that young man this is my last visit to your place
I recommend don't go there. This kind of cheating unacceptable 😭 😭 Very bad for there business The brother of the owner gave the price for kingfish Curry 7$ But the young man charged 12$ Then next time for string copper mix charged me 10$ for 8$ Cheating never ever acceptable 😞😞😞😞
