Review from Patty H.

Dropped by this place unintentially because my husband love baked goods. I wasnt keen on getting anything but we end up getting a cinnamon bun, lemon tart, a brownie and an americano.
I was really impressed with the cinnamon bun, it is crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside, it is sooooooooo good. The lemon tart is full of flavour and the shortbread crust bring it up another level. Omg I haven't had such delicious baked dessert for a long time.
I just wish they have more seating area. Only 4 seats is a bit difficult when u just want to sit down and enjoy the food because everyone is eyeing your seat and waiting for you to get off.
Lovely food and coffee, I will come back and visit again. -

This is a quaint bakery and ice cream shop on The Danforth - I made a special note about the ice cream because it's not to be missed, and they have a large rotation of flavours. Can you name another ice cream shop on Danforth? Because I totally can't, so this is a new discovery.
My bagel (they get them from somewhere else) was stale-ish, but my in-house croissant was dynamite! At 2pm it was still astoundingly fresh, and there were other baked things taunting me...from brownies to pizza. This place is dangerously delightful. -

Odours on the Danforth are normal - part of the neighbourhood. The smell of fresh roast coffee, souvlaki, and other ethnic flavours...
But there's a new smell on the Danforth, (at Broadview). Dough Bakeshop. Fresh baked breads, muffins and other oven tasty treats, including ice-cream.
The bread is often oven hot and incredibly fresh. They've only been open for a month or two and already I've met people that drive across town to pick up their evening bread.
I don't know if they do gluten-free products or not. -

Really close to Broadview TTC station for a quick hop off. Especially if you want home cooking vs. fast food.
CROISSANT REVIEW - I'll have to agree its a solid citizen if you like soft, mushy/dense and relatively oily vs. crisp, flaky, and relatively dry.
Other points
- there's only 4 seats
- they sell and assume use I deal coffee
- pleasant old school interior with wood shelves, exposed brick and stately appliances.
- $2.00 americano (don't know if single or double)
I wouldn't return specifically for the croissant but I'd try some of the other baked goods. -

Finally got to try out the newly opened Dough Bakeshop last week and it was definitely everything I wanted it to be and more!
To make our first visit a well-rounded one, my roommate and I bought a variety of goodies: a loaf of brown bran bread, a pair of chocolate brownies, and a bag of fresh pizza dough...all for $10 even! We made the pizza that very night and although homemade pizza even on store-bought crust is delicious, this fantastic dough definitely made a huge difference. For only $3 you get a bag full of yummy dough, just waiting for you to roll out and make an awesome pizza on. (Oh, and the dough is stored in an adorably old-school light teal fridge, marked only with a sign that excitedly says "Pizza Dough!")
For the bread we went with a rather basic pick, but it was still super good. I've made several sandwiches with it since we brought it home, all of which have been way better than any sandwich Dempsters could make me! Oh, and the brownies? Mmm! They were very perfectly chocolately and had bits of chocolate chips/chunks baked in as well - a great touch.
Next time I visit I'm eager to try their yummy looking bagels, as well as some other sweet treats. Oh, and some more pizza dough, of course!Listed in: My fave Danforth area stops

I was just walking down Danforth and couldn't resist popping into Dough. It has the look that I want a cute little bakery to have. I got a couple dinner rolls and an almond croissant. Neither were anything to get excited about. The rolls didn't have much flavor. The almond croissant was all right, but I would have have preferred the croissant to be lighter and flakier. The dough part was too dense for my taste.
I think this probably is a very good bakery, but stick with the proper breads. -

As much as I would like to support any new local enterprise I was disappointed with both visits I made to this new store. First visit was okay, the lady made me a great meatloaf sandwich on a house baked bun and I had it with a coffee, yum yum. However the shop layout appeared to have been put up with little retail in mind. Two examples:
1. An old retro style frig filled to the tits with pizza dough, when I opened the door the stuff literally exploded onto the floor. The front window display was an ancient wooden rack filled with plastic bags full of day old reduced breads. How appealing is that?
2. Later as we were finishing up our snack the store filled up with customers. The lady at the cash (an owner I presume) had her hands full servicing the customers, however she received no help from the other employees that were placidly working/chatting in the production area in the rear of the shop.
To the Owner/Nice lady: Crack that whip!! -
