18 Best Bakeries in St. Catharines

“Fabulous subs, friendly staff. Such a great little hidden gem:):)“

“I love supporting small businesses and de la terre bakery is one that I continuously find myself coming back to.

The atmosphere is amazing in here. Even though you might think it's a "bakery" and not a "cafe", you couldn't be more wrong. Along with available bread to purchase, they also have delicious pastries and various drink options to choose from. I always find myself getting an iced vanilla latte (both to dine in person and for take-out). I've also eaten their breakfast croissant sandwich before and it's delicious. It is a little pricy however the quality makes up for it. There's nothing like a small business coffee, there's just something about it you can't replicate elsewhere.

The staff are always warm, welcoming, and friendly. I've never had a bad interaction with any of them. Even when the store is busy, they are very quick with taking your order and making your food/drinks. Moreover, if you're staying around for a while, you'll see them constantly cleaning the cafe, wiping down tables, and taking away dirty dishes. For newcomers, I would let you know that I clear away my own dishes (by bringing them back up to their counter) but I'm not sure if this is a requirement (i just do it to give them a little break from cleaning)!

Overall, great spot, free wifi, I come and do my schoolwork here at least once a week (maybe even more)! I would highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting St. Catharines!

Parking: They have their own parking lot with I'd say estimated about 20+ spots (free parking no charge) They do fill up fast though as they have a lot of customers coming in to dine or picking up their online orders. There is another parking lot though right next to their personal one that is almost empty all the time (i've never parked in there so I'm not 100% sure if it is free parking or if you have to pay).

Kid-friendliness: They have 2 high-chairs available and a large bathroom with a changing spot/crib for infants if needed. They also have a little play space for children to be entertained whilst dining.

Wheelchair accessibility: Very wheelchair accessible. They have available wheelchair parking and there are no steps upon entry making it easy to get in the door. The bathroom is also wheelchair accessible with an automatic door and plenty of space.“

“I had learned about Edible Options from my daughter’s friend and I am forever grateful for it!!! I am horribly picky and opinionated about gluten free bread and bagels and baked goods, and for the first time ever I cannot complain. It was the most amazing experience. I visited on Sunday March 9th and I was so excited and overwhelmed and whomever I dealt with went above and beyond to help. Best bagels, bread, brownie and oatmeal toffee cookie I have ever had. Everything freezes perfectly also. I can’t wait to go back!!“

“Honestly I only come here for bread, until recently.

The bread is delicious; I will no longer be buying anything other than bread here.

I paid 8$ for two cinnamon buns that were tasteless and dry.
Hardly any icing, barely any cinnamon... They basically tasted like a fancy bun. You know it's bad when you have to heat I up in the microwave with water and dump a bunch of cinnamon on it.... disappointed to say the least.“

“They are really welcoming Great customer service first time trying the pepper steak meat pie it is amazing will be back for more for sure and they’re flaky’s No words can explain how fresh and tasteful they are“

“Just stopped in and got a few different baked goods and an iced coffee. Everything was fresh and delicious (and not just because it’s been 2 months since I’ve had a treat 😂). The girl working was very professional and helpful. This will be a regular stop when im in the area!“

“Zaluski’s Sweet Treats provided wonderful service and was able to create the exact cookies that I was hoping for to make my wife’s 40th birthday celebration the best night to remember.

Everyone was super impressed by not only the look but also the taste of these incredible cookies.

I highly recommend buying cookies for your next function through Zaluski’s Sweet Treats… You and your guests will be so glad you did!“

“Great tasting cookies and sweets and the designs are beautiful!“

“The best Mini Pies. Absolutely delicious.“

“Everything! We buy buns, cinnamon rolls, frozen Cannelloni. Spinach dip with pumpernickel bread, yum . Mini pizzas“

“Just had our first order for dinner last night and it was delicious, we started with the butternut squash soup, followed by Beef Pot-roast Pie, and finished with a strawberry rhubarb pie. Yummy 😋 so good congratulations and I will spread the word!! I discovered NFC by reading an article in this weeks Niagara Life magazine.“

“The Frosted Cupcake created our daughter's salted caramel wedding cake. It was DELICIOUS, BEAUTIFUL, and exactly what she wanted. Thank you for putting the ‘icing’ on the most wonderful wedding day! Highly, highly recommend Trudy and this amazing bakery. You won't be disappointed.“

“Very well priced bakery with super friendly staff. Their items are more on the sugary side, so be aware of that if it doesn' fit your palette.

The staff are always very kind and patient, and it always smells amazing inside. Everything is freshly baked and is not out more than a day. I visit often.“

“Love love their baked goods, we always go for the strawberry cookies. My son is a huge fan of the ghost/skeleton/monster cookies!

At the market we bought $21 worth of cookies and the lovely lady working gave us 2 free ghost cookies!! My son was thrilled.

Highly recommend always delicious and the coolest designs.“

“Sandra was so great to deal with. she accommodated my request and made the best tasting cupcakes for my daughters 16th birthday. Everyone loved the different flavours and gorgeous decorations. Also a very reasonable price too. I would order with Sandra again for my next occasion.“

“Clean and friendly barista“

“We ordered 100 tarts from Scott for daughters wedding. Scott individually wrapped an assortment of tarts including Skor, Turtles, Raisonette, etc. We used them as favours at each table setting and the rest were left on a tray by the door. There were none left! Guests are still raving about the most delicious butter tarts they ever had!! A big hit at the wedding! Thanks so much Scott! Will definitely be ordering from you again!“

“Went above and beyond! I live in Ottawa and my daughter is studying at Brock. I called around a few days ago looking for a way to get her a birthday cake. One of the staff at Caffe Gatti said she would deliver it personally as I was worried about the condition if it went through a delivery service. Arrived today for her birthday and she is very excited to try the Lemon Cello w berries with her friends. Thank you! Very pleased!“
