50 Best Bakeries in Toronto

“We arrived late nearly closing after having lunch around the corner and there was one cream puff left - passion fruit. It was DELISH!
The flavour wasn’t overpowering and balanced with the puff. Just so yummy. The cute flower design also made it complete.
Service was great and love the special when you buy 6 ;) we’ll definitely be back!“

“Love this place. The lady who made our order was lovely! The lamb skewers were delicious. The salad and rice were well-seasoned. The hummus was so refreshing, and the garlic sauce was creamy and well balanced. Can't wait to go back again!“

“Our favourite coffee shop, and we are so lucky to have it at our doorstep. Martin, Yuka and Asuka are extremely warm and welcoming, creating the friends-living-room environment which is so special. They are meticulous and passionate in their approach to coffee and baking (and ice cream) 🙏🏻“

“the 호떡 with brown sugar is very good. ❤❤❤“

“I didn't think anything could replace Glory Hole when they left Parkdale, but Fab has done it! Unpretentious, delicious and gorgeous donuts with the friendliest baker I have ever met. Fab loves our dog Gracie and started yelling hello to us from across the street before we even came to the shop. When we finally stopped in, Gracie was immediately given her own full sized donut...Fab has a friend for life. So nice to have a fantastic new spot in the hood. These are the best donuts ever!“

“This place is amazing! Everything I tried was delicious. The specialty croissant that was chocolate chip cookie dough flavoured was unbelievable. And the cookies were perfect too🤩“

“the food is very good. but I struggle to reach them by phone. am surprised because I was the only customer on a Tuesday Evening, so am not sure why messages were not answered“

“The savoury breads here are seriously next level.

The Onion Basil is a completely surprise . The outside had a crispy crust, while the inside was unbelievably soft and packed with cream cheese. Super buttery, flavorful, and rich without feeling heavy. Absolute must-order.

Garlic baguette was ridiculously good too — buttery and moist all the way through, not dry at all.

The Briochi felt very substantial; you can tell they don’t go light on ingredients.

As someone who’s tried way too many Asian/Korean bakeries, this is easily top tier for savoury breads.“

“I’m in Kensington market often and I’ve walked passed crumbs too often when finally I said it’s time to get me one, and I’m glad that I did ! My patty was delicious I got mine with melted cheese and something so simple was incredible. My only regret is that I didn’t order everything else on the menu. I will 100% be back for the rest of the menu asap !

Another thing that let’s you know a place is good is sitting outside for 5 min watching a line grow how can you argue that.“

“They are really great doing the BEST desserts and finger food in the city. I truly recommend them for any occasion: casual or business. Thank you Dulcinella team you guys are THE BEST!“

“Best Donuts in Ontario! The Creme brûlée donut is out of this world! Can’t wait to come back 🍩 ❤️“

“best bakery... love chef andra and his wife... a pleasure going into their shop“

“There is so much more I want to try here (preferably at least one of everything) but I can say that everything I’ve tried so far has been so tasty with some being out of this WORLD delicious. The birthday croissant and carrot cake were some of the best treats I’ve tried, vegan or otherwise. The raspberry cardamom bun was decent, the frosting was good and the flavour was there but the bun was a bit dry/on the harder side. Objectively fine still but compared to the other two treats on this day, it just did not hit the same. Really excited to come back and try more 😋. Staff were really kind/helpful as well.“

“We love the breakfast sandwiches, bread and pastries. Delicious. Worth the trip.“

“Seriously delicious scones. DELICIOUS! Jams of a higher order. 🙂So glad to have them in my neighbourhood🙂“

“feeling so blessed to have found your bakeshop!! totally worth the drive down from north suburb..the sourdough loaf oh... thank you for introducing this to me.. I would have been missing out big time if I had not received that loaf. thank you thank you thank you and will come back soon!“

“Decadent and Delicious! By far the best croissants I have ever indulged in 🤩 A must try!“

“Follow @bredgyeats for more food posts!

This cupcake offers a moist vanilla sponge and a gently sweet experience, crowned by a cloud of silky buttercream that melts softly across the palate. Within the hidden center is a vibrant passionfruit-yuzu curd, bursting with bright acidity, fragrant passionfruit notes, and delicate hints of citrus bitterness from the yuzu.“

“The staff are courteous & enthusiastic. The doughnuts are gorgeous. Best salted caramel cookie ever! Donut literacy rocks!“

“Our favorite brunch place ! Food and service is consistently great. Today's service was exceptional and I want to thank our server again for being so accommodating and kind. Wish we got their name but they were wearing a white shirt and were tall :). Thanks Bonjour Brioche“

“Hell ya. I'd been managing my expectations since I was visiting a bakery at the end of the day. Turns out there was no need to worry—a wide variety of pastries and treats were on the counter, I was greeted warmly, and my questions on the composition of the bostock were patiently answered.

Croissants: excellent structure; the cheese option came with a generous crispy tuile attached.
Lemon bichon: great lemon flavour, the tangy curd and softened layers inside contrasting the sweet and crispy exterior. Maybe this batch could have used a bit more filling and been somehow messier, gnarlier even.
Bostock: another wonderful combination of flavours and textures, soft challah and jammy filling meets crunchy frangipane.
Chocolate chip cookie: a soft chew, crisp around the edge, that bite of unmelted chocolate, and just the right amount of salt on top for my liking.

Will need to return to try savoury treats, more sweet things, and cake??“

“Incredible donuts - love that the donuts change up every month offering unique and delicious flavours and keeping us on our toes. Also, I like the fact that the OG donuts you can always get - my all time favourite is the buttertart bomb 😍 Might I also add, Dipped always has amazing customer service! Best donuts in Toronto!“

“Great atmosphere and a chill vibe. The best vegan banana bread. The best frappe in town.“

“The pasties are delicious. Visited the new Oakville location today, and sampled some wonderful pastries, will definitely be returning soon.“

“Best Donuts in Ontario! The Creme brûlée donut is out of this world! Can’t wait to come back 🍩 ❤️“

“Best brownies I've ever had in my life. Raspberry chocolate and lavender blueberry were my personal faves.“

“We had the traditional, pulled pork and jerk chicken...all were fantastic. Pastry is not heavy and filling is very flavourful.“

“I’ve never been to Simon’s bakery, but I was born a baker. I haven’t seen Simon in years, but we were side by side for a year once. I didn’t realize it then, but now I see he too was bread to bake. I remember only one dish Simon made that wasn’t a 10/10. He threw it out. I can hear him from here. Simon Blackwell is a culinary perfectionist who begins every day/dish/product with love and the utmost pride and care Support this baker, chef, master of food. Toronto needs more Blackbird.“

“Pane e le buone paste gelato“

“Tres bien! Amazing customer service, genuine and hospitable. Good eats too ;-)“

“she has some of the most beautifully made cakes very passionate, particularly patient even when you put in your orders last-minute. thank you Patricia not only representing our community well but also being an outstanding person 👏“

“The pastries are to die for! Especially the blueberry lemon danish and apple caramel turnover, they are packed with filling and have a nice golden flaky pastry. They also gave me a bonus lemon blueberry scone! ❤️
I will definitely be ordering from this place again! 🙂“

“Best place to buy a smash cake! 10/10, you won't be disappointed“

“Thanks for the great birthday cake you made for my daughter! As delicious as it was beautiful.“

“Delicious bakery with great customer service. Their breads and pizzas are to die for. So is the tiramisu. And the cannoli. And every thing I had from there. A couple of tables outside to enjoy people watching. Italian music and sometimes live music make this place a great addition to our community.“

“Amazing service, speciality Greek coffee, pastries savoury and sweet, desserts, imported snacks, biscuits and chocolates! Special thanks to Katerina, Denisa, Eleni and the whole crew! 👊“

“Popular bakery, especially known for their carrot cake. We tried the crème caramel and the cinnamon roll, and both were very good — flavorful, fresh, and definitely worth trying.

The place was extremely busy when we visited, which shows how popular it is, but the seating felt quite cramped. Our seats were basically stuck against another table, so it wasn’t the most comfortable experience. Still, the pastries and desserts made up for it overall.“

“Delicious croissants 🥐, especially the beer cheddar cheese ones!“

“Amazing pies, in particular lemon meringue or coconut“

“Amazing little shop full of so many different delicious treats! My girlfriend brought me this weekend and it took me so long to decide what to get because everything looked so amazing! Everything i got was absolutely delicious and this is definitely going to become a new go to spot for me whenever im in Toronto!!“

“Very good local business I've been going to since pre-COVID days (on and off since around 2010 or so). I am very impressed that it's still affordable and still fairly good quality too!

Don't get it often, but I stop in, grab some pineapple buns to fill a craving, and commute back home while having one

I also like the BBQ pork buns now, they're solid. The soft ones I got aren't my personal favorite, but the firm doughy ones are nice. Wish I bought more than just one lmao

If you're around Spadina, pop by and check this place out!“

“Like the name says, this place is tiny but absolutely worth visiting. I've been twice now and really enjoyed my pasta each time. It's delicious, the flavours are creative, and the portions are reasonable given that it's clearly fresh pasta and small batch. I also enjoy the pesto roll.

I'd suggest coming early to avoid a wait and following their instagram to see what the daily pasta specials are (there are usually 2).“

“True definition of a local, budget-and-customer friendly, bakery shop that is mindful of the working-class and senior pension earners of the community it serves. I applaud the lady who owns and runs the shop for keeping her prices down, even through the pandemic and skyrocketing inflation that followed. Honestly, where else can you get a bun pastry for a buck? Satisfy your pineapple bun and egg tart cravings without breaking the bank. 100% I'm in!“

“Tres bien! Amazing customer service, genuine and hospitable. Good eats too ;-)“

“This is the best pastry I have ever had anywhere, and I’ve traveled quite a lot in France.“

“Came in for the first time with a friend on Saturday just passing through. Can we say these were the BEST cookies ever!! I can understand why people ship them all over the place. It’s an unforgettable cookie deliciousness that’s not easily forgotten. We will be ordering again soon ! ❤️ If you haven’t tried these you NEED to! 🤤 yum!“

“All desserts, bread and coffee“

“Amazing Almond croissant ❤️❤️. Took home a box of other goodies to try!“

“The cookies, tarts, and drinks are delicious and amazing!!!! The staff makes you feel welcomed and they're so helpful. We highly recommend this place!!!“

“Scones and Brioche to die for! Exquisite breads! #sweet #savoury“
