Here are the new bakeries in Toronto you need to try at least once.
What began as a fruitful pop-up has since blossomed into a full-blown Cabbagetown brick-and-mortar, lauded for its seasonally rotating chunky, chewy cookies — but there are plenty of other freshly-baked goodies on the roster too.
When Glory Hole Doughnuts left Little India behind in late 2025, there was a major doughnut hole left to fill. While its usurper doesn't serve doughnuts, the selection of breads and pastries — all made using Canadian grain — it serves up certainly hits the spot.
This Etobicoke bakery is the permanent home for a stall that made a major splash at the Etobicoke Farmer's Market in past years. Expect the same calibre of freshly-baked sourdough loaves, cookies, cinnamon buns and beyond, now served within four walls.
Once a much-loved Upper Beaches venture, this bakery that specializes in Filipino flavours and French techniques is back and bigger than ever in East Chinatown. Better yet, owner Rae Abayan's partner, Ry Lee, is also churning out his exceptional Chachalate chocolate from the same location.

We may be a lengthy plane ride away from Paris, but this new Danforth East patisserie will transport you straight to the banks of the Seine with its traditional French goodies, like tarts, croissants, brioche and, of course, croquembouche.
