Toronto Bakeries

Hansen's Danish Pastry Shop

Hansen's Danish Pastry Shop has been around for almost 50 years. Hundreds of incredible cookies and assorted pastries (and plenty of herring!) await.

Pancho's Bakery

A simple little place up on Davenport at Dufferin, Pancho's has a whole lot of sweet Mexican bread options and, if you look closely, homemade tamales.

Wild Earth Bakery and Cafe

Wild Earth bakes tasty gluten free, organic and vegan treats for folks in The Beaches.

Nadege Patisserie

Nadege Patisserie brings a taste of decadent Paris to Toronto, lavishing us with treats that taste like fruits and flowers (ie. my dreams), and look like art.

She Takes The Cake

A soothing cafe and bakery at Dundas and Brock, She Takes The Cake offers tons of high end baked goods (many of which involve dulce de leche).

The Wedding Cake Shoppe

The Wedding Cake Shoppe adds beauty and personality to the most special of days, and some of the most special cupcakes to my regular days.

The Pie Shack

The new Pie Shack in the Beaches offers sweet and savoury pies with awesome crust, plus unimaginable enthusiasm (for pie).

Better and Better Bakery

Koreatown has a new bakery with awesome banana bread (and good coffee, and wifi) as well as pasties, croissants, bread, and more.

Altitude Baking

Alyssa and I ended up at Altitude Baking in Leslieville by accident, but thank goodness we did. Their tarts and cookies saved our days (and moods).

Sweet Flour Bake Shop

Sweet Flour Bake Shop has really put their finger on a million dollar idea. And you can have it for just two bucks!

Golden Wheat

Golden Wheat in Little Italy has more to offer than excellent bread. Alyssa and I sampled some of their mini tarts and mini coffees.

Red Rose Patisserie

Red Rose Patisserie is a paradise of sweet treats with saffron and pistachio infused French pastries, traditional Iranian desserts, and (saffron infused) ice cream.

Athens Pastries

Athens Pastries on the Danforth offers some of the best phyllo treats in the city - from spinach and cheese to honey and custard.

World Class Bakers

You may have eaten a World Class Bakers shortbread cookie without even realizing it. Their gigantic buttery cookies are all over the city.

Jack's Bakery & Pastry

Jack's bakery and Pastry offers breads and tarts (and mini breads and tarts) 24 hours a day! And it also has a lotto centre, seemingly popular amongst the regulars.

Artisano Bakery Cafe

Artisano Bakery Cafe offers freshly baked breads, gourmet sandwiches, daily soups and even free WIFI. Can't ask for much more than this.

Bagel World

I was hella excited to see BW open up a new location at Bloor and Spadina, where there are tons of bakeries but none that make great bagels.

Wanda's Pie in the Sky

I went to Wanda's to get a cookie. But the place is so tempting, full of freshly baked things that I blew more cash than I had intended. I can't say I regret it, though.
