Anna's is a quality little Polish bakery, mostly featuring cookies and sweets. They do have a selection of frozen pierogies and other goods in the back as well.
Their jelly filled cookies are amazing when they're cooked right now, but we've had a few that have been over cooked from time to time and it's just not the same. Still, I find their pastries to be better than most in the area, and the price is about the same (which means not exactly cheap).
The staff is usually friendly if you greet them first with a hello, and how are you. Otherwise they are a bit cold, and just doing their job. The place generally looks clean, and they have the option to bag, or box your treats at no additional cost.
We'll continue to go here, and they've been great for us over the years. -

It was a lot more fun admiring Anna's Bakery & Deli's window from outside the store.
All these baked goods looks so pretty.. big... and full of carbs....
Actually eating one of those Paczki (poonch-kee) was a big big disappointment!
Paczki is kind of like a doughnut with sweet filling (raspberry, custard, jam). The dough suppose to be rich and more heavy because it contains eggs, fats, sugar and milk.
Custard Paczki (80 cents)
- ratio of fillings to dough... 1:5... so all carbs...hardly any fillings
- It is dry and dough.. and dense and tasteless...
- good to eat when you are on a diet! since you will not be finishing one..
There are some Polish hot food to go.. but selections are minimum...
I hope I will experience a better Paczki someday....somewhere.... for now.. I am not eating one for awhile!Listed in: A Day in High Park!

I bought this chocolate log thing. I don't know what it was called, but anything chocolatey usually has my vote. It was hard as a rock. I took a bite. Tasted like fridge. I go back and complain about how it has probably sat there for weeks. I get my money back. Go to sweet flour bake shop to heal my poor tastebuds from that tainted fridge log thing.
End of story.
Ps: The place is ghetto-looking. -

Anna's Bakery focuses mostly on pastries and sweets; the selection of breads and deli meats is pretty sparse. It seems to serve the local on-the-go lunch crowd, as weekday mornings will see a line of three or four at the counter. So it's not a bad place to pick up a breaded cutlet and container of potato salad for a light meal; the prices for most things are reasonable, but not a steal.
It wouldn't be a Bloor West bakery/deli without a wide selection of imported, eastern European dry goods (such as Polish Kinder Surprise). There's a freezer in the back with an impressive selection of frozen pierogies (including hard-to-find plum and strawberry varieties), although the price is significantly higher than those that can be found a few doors down at Karpaty. -

My family has been buying pastries and cookies from Anna's for almost four decades. They have been around for ages and the quality is the same now as it was back when I was a kid.
They have lots of great cheesecake-y type things as well as jam-filled Polish donuts ("ponchky"), frozen pierogies and candy, cookies and jams. But the "must have" baked good in this place is the jam sandwich cookies. They are unreal. Like I said, I've been eating these same cookies since I was a kid. You can buy them in 1/2 pound or 1 pound boxes for $4 or $7 flat and they are sooo good. Get an assortment of the basic round sandwich cookies (strawberry jam in the centre) as well as the cylindrical ones that are dipped in chocolate on one side. I could eat an entire box in one sitting.
Head to Anna's in the morning to be sure to get the cookies when they're at their freshest! Cash only. -

A credible Polish bakery with a few highlights - the jam cookies - and lowlights - the cakes of dubious vintage. Wide selection of frozen pierogies in the back AND generously sized/ridiculously cheap cabbage rolls make this a worthwhile stop on any take out trot.

There's nothing like finding a little mom and pop bakery shop! Bloor West is the place to do it. There's a number of bakery shops in the area, Anna's is the farthest West on Bloor, nearing the end of all the shopping district in the area. It happened to be the only bakery shop opened on thanksgiving which was a nice surprise.
Anna's window display can make even the fullest of full people want to eat up all their baked goods! They have them displayed nicely, from little individual size pumpkin pies, to brownies and jam filled cookies, every thing not only looks good, but it also cheap. The individual pumpkin pies are $1.50 each, brownies $0.75. It's a nice change from bakeries charging $1.00 for a finger-size cookie. -

I won't be buying food from here anymore. The baked goods are mediocre or sometimes not even yummy! I'd recommend the Sweet Gallery or Bread and Roses over Anna's Bakery over this one any day. No healthy choices here either.

Deeelicious. Being from the great and powerful "Shwa", home to all foods Eastern European, I've eaten more than my fair share of pierogies, cutlets and such. I was impressed. Seriously generous meat on the "meat on a stick" ( I chose pork but there's chicken too) and massive cabbage rolls. And the incredible smell of sweet baked goods when I walked in the door almost knocked me over! The only thing that stopped me from buying one of everything was the fact that I had just demolished a giant box of Halloween candy in 2 weeks. Anyfatty, I will definitely be heading back to Anna's many times, but I think I will get off the subway @ St George instead of Jane to burn some calories first!!

I like buying my pierogies here. They are in the back in the freezer and there are several varieties, meat, potato/cheese, blueberry, etc. Anna's sells the best pierogies at the best price $4.25 for a bag of 12.
