We live in the area and have been visiting Hot Oven Bakery for over a year. Overall, it's hit or miss, with the (really) good stuff keeping us coming back almost every week!
Hit:
Friendly, efficient service. It's often busy but they move people through.
Bread selection. Olive Bread and Jalapeño Cheese Bread are awesome.
Beef Samosas, very tasty!
PIES AND TARTS! Raspberry and Blueberry are the best pies. Apple and passion fruit tarts are great too.
Croissants (in the morning). Chocolate ones are great! None of that cheap filling.
Miss:
Cookie selection. Assorted, but we found the cookies looked a lot better than they tasted. They didn't taste bad, just bland.
Custard Tarts (Pateis de Nata). Don't know if they changed bakers, but they were good a year ago, then inconsistent... now just consistently bad.
Baklava. Good taste but dry!
**No credit cards. Also, after 6:00, bread on sale for $2.00** -

Sweet welcoming aroma of freshly baked bread when I stepped into Hot Oven Bakery on a Sunday afternoon!
Great selections of pastries, cookies, pies and breads. The baked goods have more a rustic look and so pleasing to the eyes...
Ended up getting 2 crisps (dried fruits and nuts) and an almond cookie.. they tasted A-OK...
The servers here were quite friendly... really patient when I took my sweet time to pick what I want!Listed in: A Day in High Park!

I have been a customer since the old location at Cloverdale mall. Muffins and cookies usually. The store is immaculate and the aroma really gets me in the mood to eat some pleasure food. My wife's favorite is the blueberry crumble, bring that home and I am greeted with all the love I can handle!

I like the bread here better than the bread at Bread and Roses nearby. It's a great little bakery, really close to me and their bread is never stale, always super fluffy and great for french toast.
However, I've tried their cookies and they're not the freshest. I'm a big fan of soft cookies and I have yet to experience that when buying them from Hot Oven.
Also, to avoid confusion, this bakery used to be called Sunglow. But after a much needed renovation (it's much cleaner and organized in there now) they renamed the place Hot Oven.
My favourite thing about Hot Oven are its big front windows displaying their wares. Mmmmm. That plus the wafts of fresh bread smell that hang around the corner of Runnymede and Bloor because of it. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. -

Sunglow Bakery might get lost in the crowd of Bloor West Village bakeries, but it's been around for a while for a reason. They still bake good stuff here, even if the store may not look as slick as neighbouring competition like Bread & Roses.
My favourite at Sunglow has always been the sweet stuff, like cookies (though the bread is fine too). I've got a lot of fond memories of devouring their tasty gingerbread men (painted like the latest superheroes and cartoon characters) as a kid. -

This place is right near my school. No luck for my waistline. For the love of all that is good and holy, please try the cupcakes. They are so much better than hipster pastries. Their nanaimo bars also make you want to sing songs about the raw, natural beauty of British Columbia. Anything you order here will be served with a nice dose of Ukrainian attitude. The women in here always look pissed when I ask for my order, like I'm inconveniencing them by ordering a pastry. That said, I'd rather receive attitude from a 40 year old Ukrainian baker than some snotty little hipster barista.

This place always smells wonderful. The artisan breads are not the cheapest but they are expertly made and very pleasing to the eye (nicely shaped loaves) as well as to the palate. Mousses and pies are good here too, and we like the apricot horns.

We have been there three times on Saturday mornings, and the bread has been very fresh and tasty. I thought the prices were decent too, especially considering the tony over-priced location.
