Hitotoki Bakery

Hitotoki is a Japanese bakery in Toronto that seamlessly blends the rich baking traditions of France and Japan with an emphasis on croissant tarts and Shokupan.

Owner Ada Lu demonstrates clear expertise in crafting Japanese pastries with subtle sweetness and airy textures. 

Hitotoki BakeryWhat steals the spotlight is certainly the tantalizing flaky layers of their croissant tarts that feature a fruit-infused custard and chestnut puree filling.

Hojicha powder is the star ingredient in their unsweetened Hojicha Latte ($5.50) that comes with a bitter but distinctive toasty flavour.
