Patisserie/Cake Shops in Toronto, ON

“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!“

“This place is a sure gem! Everything from the top notch service to the clean and neat environment, to the exquisite desserts. We were so impressed. I had the 'Fruitmania' and it was very good. It was the first time trying ashta and the more I ate it, the more I fell in love with it. It was perfectly paired with the strawberry and mango juice. The right amount of sweetness! Ali, the owner, was so kind and attentive. We most definitely will be back! Can't wait for summer to enjoy the wonderful options for cold desserts and beverages. Thank you!“

“WOW! halal options is amazing, staff were so kind and knowledgeable. The QUALITY is excellent. Not a crazy variety but each item has been perfected!

Will be here once a week from now on.

Recommend for halal options bakery items, would love to see this place get more love they deserve :) but this is a true hidden gem“

“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??“

“We used Kwento for our wedding cake and had an absolutely incredible experience. Everyone we dealt with was so helpful and attentive to our needs. We wanted to go for a pretty classic piped cake with some pretty and colourful accents and MY GOD it turned our absolutely GORGEOUS and DELICIOUS. We got so many compliments on it and many people ended up going back for seconds because both flavours were so delicious! The tasting box experience was also so fun, I'd honestly recommend it even if you're not getting married as a cute and fun way to try all of Kwento's amazing flavours! We've also gone to Kwento for coffee & cupcakes before and loved that experience too, so just a big all around thumbs up from us!“

“What a lovely bakery! Thank you so much for the Earl Grey cake. WOW, it was delicious! And absolutely beautiful ♥️“

“First time visited the cafe, I love the decorations, very charming, and nostalgic. The cake i ordered for my birthday turned out amazing and exactly what I wanted. Very talented pastry chef, very kind and professional. The cake flavor was red velvet and we all loved it to the last bite.“

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

“The Christmas décor was charming — warm, thoughtful, and beautifully done. The pastry display was equally inviting, with everything looking fresh and well-made.

I tried the blueberry croissant, and it exceeded expectations. The cream filling was noticeably high-quality, richer and more refined than anticipated. I don’t come to this area often, but if I did, I would definitely like to try their sandwiches.“

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

“I went there for a coffee date on Sunday and the place was beautiful with this absolutely amazing waitress Tiana! She was just wonderful. I order a pistachio latte with a salmon sandwich. I asked Tiana to warm up the sandwich and she let me know she was unable to, all sandwiches are cold.

I find that completely unacceptable because the bread was as hard as a ROCK! SMH I was quite disappointed. So DO NOT EAT any sandwiches from there.“

“Check out Velvet Lane Cakes, there blueberry muffins are to die for!“

“Took my granddaughters on Saturday for a treat… they loved it! So did I! Delicious and so many choices I’ll have to come back to try more for sure. staff was friendly too.“

“Great Frappe and latte! Friendly service“

“Wonderful new addition to the neighborhood. I'm admittedly a pretty big coffee snob, and my first latte was *excellent*! Great selection of sweet and savory treats (vegan options too), super-friendly service, and cozy, inviting atmosphere. Welcome to the neighborhood!

“The best guy ever to deal with. Amazing empanadas and they always taste bangin“

“The pastry are very beautiful, well decorated and very suitable to make a gift. The store has wide variety of items, some of them looks stunning. The croissants are very big, has both sweet and savoury.

I love the Pink blossom one, I think it has an unique flavors compared to others.“

“Gosto muito de golden bakery por as empregadas seram delicadas com.os clientes.Tudo que e feito no goldem bakery e' muito gostoso os pasteis de nata as queijadas de cerveja , aqui em Bramptom nenhuma bakery.consegue fazer igual falo porque ja' comprei nas outras padarias todas para expirimentar e por ser mais barato nos outros lados, mas prefiro pagar mais pelos pasteis e queijadas porque sao as melhores convido todos a ir a Goldem Bakery em Brampton Ontario“

“Totally fell in love with this place! 💕 The cappuccino was velvety and full of flavor, the pesto croissant was such a fun twist — buttery, flaky, and deliciously different. The dark chocolate? Pure bliss! 🍫✨ The vibe here is super chill and aesthetic — perfect little nook near Trinity-Bellwoods to sip, snack, and unwind. So many drool-worthy desserts to choose from! 😍☕️🥐“

“Au Pain Dore is a gem! Their food quality and service is exceptional! Ardi is very helpful and friendly and tried her best to accommodate late small requests which was truly amazing! I would definitely recommend to our folks in downtown for their catering needs“

“The best pastries in Toronto!!! Their croissants to die for 🤤🤤🤤“

“Friendly service, great patio for eating with our dogs and delicious food. On top of all that, I accidentally left my handbag on the patio and when I realized it a few hours later, I called and they had kept it for me behind the counter. I really appreciated their kindness! We will definitely return… thank you again!“

“I finally had the chance to visit Bomou with my fam and it was a lovely experience from start to finish! We had the lemon meringue tart, bostock (brioche with almonds and flavoured with orange), apple caramel cookies, butter croissant, a piece of pie, a baguette, and an earl grey canele. To drink we had the coffee, an oat milk cappuccino, and the lavender lemonade! We also bought some of the loose leaf mint tea as a gift. Everyone adored what they ordered! All of the pastries were beautiful to the eye and wonderful on the palate! Flavours such as the orange in the bostock, the lemon in the tart and even the earl grey in the canele were fragrant and gentle, never overpowering or overwhelming! Beautiful texture to all the foods and even the drinks were impressive and expertly crafted! Their coffee is some of the very very best I have had in Canada. (Rich and velvety, non-astringent and not-sharp.) If you want a proper cup of coffee you’ll find it here!!! Their lavender lemonade is gorgeous! I love lavender and found this to be a delicate and refreshing combination and recommend you definitely try it out!!! (Plus the bottle is lovely!) We all were impressed with the helpful, friendly and knowledgeable staff and were amazed by the talent and creativity of their baker/chef! Thank you Boumou for a delicious experience!!!!!“

“I’ve purchased several cakes from this shop and they’re all perfectly balanced in flavor and not too sweet. I’ve tried the matchamisu, birthday cake, and rose-flavored cake. The frosting is soft, silky, subtly sweet, and never hardens. I haven’t yet found another cake shop I enjoy as much! Around Valentines Day, my partner picked up the rose-flavored cake (pictured) that was unique and delicious. My only critique is I wish you could customize your cake for special occasions. We’ll always go to Butter Baker for our cake needs!“

“Great viennoiserie, pastries, cakes 😋“

“great Croissants and expresso 🥐“

“Very small take out for Churros, Empanadas and other pastries this place has the perfect combination of Latin snacks. I was surprised when I discovered that they sell few flavours of empanadas as well. I got the chorizo one. Amazing also Churros are very good!“

“I ordered a birthday cake here the first time. I expected the writings will be placed on top of the retangular cake. There are lots of empty spaces... why they put the writing on a very tiny piece of chocolate and put it at the side of the bottom. It was hardly to see what was in the writing. For what occasion and for who! Quite disappointed! And they charged me a price of $17 more according to their listed price of $65 for a 8"x12" cake. Plus an extra of $20 for the pair of baby shoes (a plastic toy) for decoration. I also tried their bread, also find the textures are hard to chew... I wont return again.“

“There is 'big A' ACCESSIBILITY, wherein establishments make themselves a welcoming environment to those with disabilities and special needs; then there is 'little a' accessibility, where they will manage, tolerate, and make you feel uncomfortable at best. I'd like to give Future Bakery at the corner of Brunswick and Bloor a solid 5/5 little a's for their (lack) of AODA aware service today. I don't think members of your community who have lived here for decades deserve to leave your establishment crying because of the lack of knowledge or compassion from your staff and service. Step up and perhaps (re)train everyone re: AODA guidelines? I will no longer be returning. LEVEL UP Future Bakery , thanks for adding insult to injury: your takeout cups are faulty, and mine fell out from the bottom including pouring my hot coffee all over me.“

“The pastries are amazing, so delicious.“

“It’s quite good, but $5 for one pastry is a lot I think. Maybe I am still getting post Covid sticker shock but it seems high though this is in Union Station which everything is overpriced to me. I did enjoy it and next time in TO I might go again but daily it’s not possible.“
