Where is the best cake bakery in Toronto Ontario?

This one-woman show is more than a bakerbot, she is a sweet-machine that makes some of the best cookies in Toronto. You would miss out if you did’t get an ice cream sandwich, with your choice of cookies on either end. Canada has inherited many cultural aspects from its British roots, and the beautiful British fare at Brick Street Bakery in the Distillery District attests to the best part of the monarchy.

The Coronation chicken and Boxing Day sandwiches keep people in the seats, but the Eccles cake, with its currant filling and flaky crust, the sticky ginger cake, and the fantastic loaves of bread are the ones you’ll bring home. Only in Toronto would a French-Sri Lankan bakery in the old Irish neighbourhood make some of the best Jewish bread in town. Absolute Bakery displays classic French pastries like meringues next to beautifully braided challahs and South Asian roti, each one receiving with joyous approval from fans and critics alike.

The storefront is unassuming and there is no seating, so grab some pastries to go (we recommend the danishes) and enjoy a stroll around nearby Riverdale Farm. The Don River might not be as scenic as the Seine, but Patachou in Summerhill is a real taste of Paris in Toronto. The French bakery is the go-to spot for macarons, almond croissants, pain au chocolat, brioche and more.

The café is bustling, so consider enjoying a meal here and grabbing the pastries to go. Dufflet Bakery has ruled the bakery scene for 35 years, and one bite of the chocolate raspberry truffle cake will explain why. Dufflet herself is a master of all desserts, from cheesecake to Smores bars to chocolate mousse, and has become synonymous with “dessert” in Toronto.

In May and June, sugar-fueled bicyclists can complete the Tour de Dufflet, a one-day course that visits all three locations and awards competitors with coffee, pastries and the entry for a grand prize. Gluten-free, vegan and feeling gluttonous? Bunner’s Bakery in the Junction is the one-stop shop for all your cravings, sweet and savoury.

They have vegan and gluten-free cinnamon buns, toothsome hearty pockets and more. Eat your heart out in the most vegan way possible. The downtown bakery scene.

Playful mojito, but the true winner is the salted caramel macaron. Lovely patio across from Trinity Bellwoods. Look no further than the cupcakes at Life Is Sweet.

The trip is the Earl Grey cupcake with orange icing. You’ll learn that this place lives up to its name. Out west in the Junction.
