I wanted some cupcakes as treat and was extremely happy with our choices. We got a lavender type cupcake and a pumpkin spice type. Wow! We’re not normally fans of those flavour profiles but we’re were pleasantly surprised. They were lovely. The flavour was there but it wasn’t overwhelming. The cake was moist and soft. The sprinkles we think are made in house? - if they are, amazing. We don’t normally like sprinkles either but these were identical to the frosting. So sweet but very refined. Excellent offerings and we will be back, if you read this you should give this local spot a try and enjoy!

Really cute and charming place, not a lot to choose from but the options are great.
6 types of cookies, all vegan. 6 types of cupcakes, half are vegan.
Everything we tried was good.

We had a great experience at Ampersand! It’s the perfect venue for a birthday celebration. Stephanie is a great host with impeccable taste. She is very accommodating and supportive. The smash cake is delicious and not overly sweet, which is perfect for little ones. Highly recommend!

The owner is constantly coming up with new vegan flavours. Call ahead if you want to make sure the vegan options are still available.
The owner has confirmed that all the cookies are vegan, and even the rocky road is made with Dandies! Sweet!

Perfect! I couldn't be more happy with the pink ribbon bow cake! It is super cute and tastes amazing. The cake was moist and the butter cream was perfectly sweet. Highly recommend.
Cannot recommend Ampersand enough! I picked up a cake and mini cupcakes for a milestone birthday event and people are still complimenting both the taste and design a week later! Stephanie was lovely and delivered a 10/10 experience!

We celebrated my daughter’s first birthday at Ampersand Bakehouse, and it was absolutely perfect! Stephanie was incredibly accommodating and a pleasure to work with, making the planning process seamless. The cupcakes and smash cake were adorable. The existing décor was exactly what we were looking for, and the few decorations we brought blended beautifully. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the kid-friendly toys and a floor mat for babies to crawl and play on—it made the space feel so welcoming for little ones. Our guests had a great time and had lots of positive feedback. I would highly recommend Ampersand Bakehouse for any young child’s birthday celebration!

I love popping into Ampersand with my kiddo! The coffee’s good, the treats (I love their cinnamon apple scones, vanilla sprinkle cupcakes and basically all their cookies) are even better and I can relax while my kid plays with the toy train set. Even better is their recent addition of stocking romance books! I bought a couple as gifts and can’t wait to go back to get myself some new books. I also just ordered their holiday cookie box (see pic) and the cookies were a hit with my relatives. Ampersand is a gem!
Kid-friendliness: There’s an area with a big toy train set, a book shelf stocked with kids books and lots of colouring pages and crayons.

I've been here multiple times and the cupcakes are amazing (as well as the excellent coffees and other treats)! I've been by myself, with friends and with my 2 little kids. We've been welcomed each time.

Ampersand Bakehouse is one of those rare unicorns: filled with bakes that are both beautiful and delicious! Tasty cookies, pretty cupcakes and bespoke cakes that will wow your party. Stephanie is a community-focused small business owner and an excellent cake artist.
