Great GF bakery. Cruller donuts are amazing. Great bread selections and desserts too

In my humble yet educated opinion (18 years celiac ) this is the best bakery I have ever eaten at. Great options for the dairy free and vegan eaters as well. From the ease of ordering 2 loaves of olive bread to the warm friendly atmosphere at the store my experience was perfect. I walked in expecting bread and left with so many sweet and savoury treats. Great little store for products as well. If you’re in the area for work or for a holiday and have special food needs this is the place to check out .

I visited the Bread Essentials for the first time a couple weeks ago, and it is safe to say I was more than thrilled with the experience. Gluten free sourdough bread that tastes like real sourdough bread, gluten free bagels that are to die for. Thank you 🙏🏻😊 - a satisfied customer

Great assortment of gluten free groceries. Staff is pretty knowledgeable about all the products in the store as well if you have any questions. They also have a bunch of baked goods at the front!

Amazing donuts.

Probably the most delicious GF bakery in Toronto. Not overly sugary treats and nicely textured breads which are hard to find.

I'm from Pittsburgh, PA and came into town for The Era's Tour. I discovered The Bread Essentials on TikTok and knew as someone who is GF I had to stop. It was such a pleasant experience and I can't say enough nice things about Josie the owner. She was extremely knowledgable about every thing, recommended products, and even packed up all my frozen items to bring back to Pittsburgh. It was truly such an enjoyable experience.

Fantastic bakery serving fresh made breads, muffins, donuts, galettes, crullers, and much much more! The cruller was perfect in consistency and flavor. Galettes were amazing too, the dough was crunchy and chewy and the filling was perfectly sweetened. Gluten free! And many items that are also vegan.

Such friendly staff and amazing gluten free and often dairy free options.
I’m not even gluten free but I always buy my muffins here because they are the best. I’m a huge sanremo fan but the Bread Essentials muffins are by far my favourite ever! Also the lady who works at the front (I think her name is Josee or something) is so very kind she gave me tips on when to get the zucchini chocolate muffins since they’re always sold out!

My daughter and I were simply thrilled. A small, beautiful shop that has so many things that are often denied to you as a celibate in Germany. Everything was super delicious!
My absolute highlight were the meat pies. The hammer! My husband (not a celiac) also took action. When we ordered in advance by telephone, croissants were baked especially for us, which we were able to pick up without any problems.
For our onward journey to Montreal, we stocked up on frozen goods again so that our lunch was secured for the next day.
The owner - unfortunately I have forgotten her name - is a sweetheart, open, friendly, helpful, patient with our daughter; simply magical. She gave us so many great tips, all of which were worth checking out. THANK YOU SO MUCH ONCE MORE!!
The next time we visit Eastern Canada, we will definitely stop by here again.
