7 reviews for Miss Cora's Kitchen
For the longest time, it seemed the only item in Miss Cora's window were macaroons. And so, I continued on my journey.
Don't get me wrong: I love my macaroons. But I wanted a reason to walk in and slobber.
Alas, that day finally came.
Their vegan coconut cupcake is dense (as most vegan baked goods tend to be), but really delicious. I wasn't so sure about the icing or cake on their own, but as a flavour combination? Holy crap, bring out the spotlights and start interviewing this kid. It's going places.
I also had a chocolate chip cookie, which was freshly yanked from the oven. I don't tend to judge a book by its cover, but for chocolate chip cookies, I sometimes break that rule. They looked delicious, and they certainly were delicious: crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Yum.
Sure, it helped that they were fresh, but if I can work out the timing and chummy-chum it up with the baker of the day, I think this could possibly be my baked goods dealer for all time.
Miss Cora makes the most delicious flourless chocolate (cup)cake in Toronto. The mini cupcakes are fun too. This spot is a gem just waiting to be discovered :)
We stopped by Miss Cora's Kitchen during a rather epic, sprawling Cupcake Crawl last weekend and Cora herself delighted us with a tray of mixed mini cupcakes for us to sample. The Red Velvet minis were perfect - tangy, zesty cream cheese icing and red-tinged cake bottoms. The perfect size for snacking - I think you could get away with eating two! $1.50 per mini.
I've only ever had the mini-cupcakes from this adorable Kensington Market bakery, but they sure are mega-delicious! Available in chocolate, vanilla, lemon, and carrot cake (with amazingly rich cream cheese icing) for $1.50 a piece, they truly are heavenly little creations. And because they're so small, you can eat more of them without feeling guilty! You're definitely best to order yourself a whole dozen and try out every flavour!
I read about this place several times and I had to come in and experience Miss Cora's baked goods. Small and quaint...well suited for the area. A little suprised about the prices of the cupcakes...$1.50 for a mini cupcakes (two-bite size) and $3.00 for a regular cupcake. At these prices the cupcakes better be good. Unfortunately, the cupcakes did not live up to their price. Not much variety in flavours...red velvet, chocolate, carrot and vanilla. Their cupcakes are all refrigerated. I waited until the cupcakes were room temperature before I tried them. I can tell they use butter and cream cheese in their sugar frosting, but nothing extraordinary. The cake was too heavy and a little oily. These cupcakes did not make me smile :(.
Oh alright....you know how everyone has a friend that is the "cupcake queen" of your group...(if you don't have a friend like this, you should just get one!) Well, I took her here to sample the goodies and it is because of the look on her face after she took a bite of the red velvet cupcake that I am relenting and givin' Miss Cora 5 stars. Sweatband guy is still there only I realise that he's really dredlock guy and he can force a smile if he wants to. Butter tarts people....butter tarts.

Okay, see that picture. The one depicting the charming and oh so inviting facade of one Miss Cora's… Read more »
Delightful baked goods - chocolate, vanilla, and carrot cupcakes all delicious, and come in bite-size portions. The icing is rich and tasty, not your typical sugar-paste.
The butter tart's crust-to-filling ratio was off (too much crust) but still tasty. Well worth a visit!
The brownie cupcake was really satisfying, with a soft, truffle-like centre. Watch out for these ones!
