Hi everybody!
I have moved to the High Park area recently and discovered this wonderful bakery. I was attracted by its windnow wich is always decorated beautifully with pastries, cookies and coffee cakes. I specially like those little details that they display around the holiday season. Their Christmas and Halloween window decorations of 2009 were awesome and it was one of the best looking windows in the area. I love talking to the staff. The girls always welcome you and say hi when you get in, offering help and are very pleasant. I love their breads, specially asiago & cracked pepper and potatoe & onion bread. The butter, custard and pecan tarts are to die for. The whole bakery reminds me of those bakeries in Europe, Germany, where I come from. I am really happy to have this bakery in my neighbourhood. I warmly recommend it to everyone.

Hi!
I was recently walking on bloor-west village when i saw a lovely decorated bakery. It was around christmas time,so i walked in and i was impressed with the selection of breads and pastries. I bought a cheese bread and some spinach pastries. The prices are not bad and the girls were very helpfull and patient. One thing i noticed is they dont wear plastic gloves while they slice the bread. But i hope that was an isolated case. Next time i come to the area i will definitively come in again. Keep up the good work.

Hello,
I am from a place in England called Wigan which is the Pie capital of the world ! I am new to the area and am craving a good meat pie. I came across this bakery - does it sell good meat pies ? Love to hear your thoughts !

Hi there you pie lover!
First of all welcome to the area and I hope you like it.
As far as I'm concerned, this bakery is the perfect place to satisfy your craving for pies. They have fantastic turkey pies, with big turkey chunks, green peas, diced carrots and gravy to die for. You can also get small chiken pies, as well as beef and steak/mushroom pies. The prices are reasonable and the staff is very friendly.

Hi everyone!
Besides the meat pies this bakery on Bloor sells excellent fruit pies. Don't miss the chance to try the blueberry and strawberry rhurbarb pie. They also have little cherry and apple tarts that are very good and are always fresh. As for the holiday decorations, I agree with Elga, these guys are doing a great job making thier window inviting. I specially liked the way they did it for St. Valentine's day. They had little red and pink heart shaped boxes stuffed with small cookies, hanging down the window. It looked really pretty and made me get in and browse around.

Hi guys,
You have to try their asiago/cracked papper bread. It's the best bread on Bloor. Also, jalapeno bread is to die for.

They have a great bread sale after 6pm (but not any earlier, sorry that's the management's rule) from monday to friday when you can buy their fantastic bread for $2 only. That is a fantastic deal and the staff is very patient and helpful offering everybody to slice the bread.

I love the Asiago cracked pepper bread. I was so happy when I bought it the first time and the girl offered to slice it for me! Great bakery, We live in the area so we shop there often, and the girls are so friendly and lovely, especially in a Ukrainian neighbourhood where the majority of employees in the shops are angry and rude... It's refreshing to give my business to someone who actually treats me like a customer!

It's hard to resist walking by, as the smell lures you in haha. Everything I've had is delicious, but my favourite are the pretzels which, unfortunately, they make ONLY on Saturdays... One of the servers actually has Pretzel earrings which I thought were adorable! The girls are very nice and very quick, which Is great when you're in a rush (especially on a Saturday when I need my Pretzel fix). The only complaint I have is that they only sell the Cinnamon buns in whole or half slabs, which is inconvenient when you just want one. I don't understand why they don't just cut them singularly.

I am Jennifer the shops manager. We thank you for all the great feedback and your business. We have some really great students who decorate our signs and window. The lead decorator happens to own the pretzel earrings commented on earlier. I welcome you into the store and will try and respond to the comments. The cinnamon buns dry out if you cut them into individuals but our cinnamon danish is the perfect substitute if you need only a single serving. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to ask for me in the store. Happy Shopping!

although I live in London ON (where we have no bakeries) I always make a point of ordering the fruit bran muffins and the asiago bread....so good!
I am visiting in Toronto now and hope to order fruit and or pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving.
What do you have available? (first week of Oct.2011)
