Craig's Cookies

Follow the sweet, sweet scent of freshly baked cookies in Parkdale and you'll find yourself in this homey little shop. This bakery fuses Craig's mom's cookie dough recipe with box name sweets like Oreos and pop tarts, smashing them together to create a cookie that's perfectly chunky.

Dipped Donuts

Dipped Donuts

Hand-dipped donuts are the only thing coming out of this takeout window in Kensington Market. Fried in veggie oil, these delicious rings are glazed with ingredients right from the Market, like coffee from Moonbean and bacon from Sanagan's.


Biscotteria Forno Cultura

Biscotteria Forno Cultura

This commuter-friendly pitstop offers up rows and rows of Italian sweets from inside Union Station. They sell satisfying bites like biscotti, pan forte, and torta polenta, sold by the gram. Or you can skip the weighing and just buy a whole box of your favourite to enjoy on the GO train.

7 Baker

European-style breads meet Asian ingredients at this pristine bakery right by Yonge and Wellesley. Everything here is baked fresh daily: you'll find sweet stuff like the flakey matcha-filled croissants along with unique savoury bites like the hulking charcoal buns filled with salted egg.


Kunafa's

Kunafa's

Ever watched a plate of kunafa being flipped upside down on top of somebody's head? If you'd like to, visit this Middle Eastern bakery on Lawrence Ave. East, where trays of znoud el Sit, awama, and syrupy kunafa filled with Nabulsi cheese come with a show.
