Bakery Restaurants in Toronto

If you’re a sucker for good bread or flaky pastries, Toronto’s bakery scene has you covered. Some spots have been quietly delivering stellar croissants and sourdough for years, while new bakeries pop up with fresh ideas that’ll surprise you.

Personally, I’d start in Leslieville with Dineen Coffee Co.’s bakery section or hit up Bakerbots on Queen West for something a little funky and sweet. Expect long lines on weekends at Wanda’s Pie in the Sky , their apple pie will make you rethink dessert.

Oh, and don’t sleep on the seasonal treats. Around the holidays, places like Forno Cultura crank out stollen bread and fig cakes that locals swear by. Pro tip: if you want to avoid the crowd, try to snag your pastries earlier in the morning during weekdays. Most of these bakeries open bright and early, and that’s when their bread is at its best, fresh out of the oven.

Houston, this city definitely knows its baked goods, and wandering through different neighborhoods chasing the scent of fresh bread is a pretty sweet way to spend a morning in Toronto.
