Recently found this place on the lower level of the St. Lawrence Market and what a treat this was. I was just looking for a loaf of light rye bread and they had exactly what I was looking for plus a plethora of other varieties all fresh baked. Because I don't like to freeze my bread I only grabbed one loaf and then when checking out I was tempted by their fresh bagels. Not a lover of bagels I figured I would still give them a shot.
I must say I was very impressed by both the bagels and the bread. They were very reasonably priced and I will definitely be visiting the Stonemill Bakehouse several more times to buy fresh breads!
Next time I go I am going to go for one of their more flavourful/fancy breads that they do like a pumpkin seed and cranberry bread, or something along those lines!
BIG fan! -

I discovered this hidden gem and the rest of the Yelpers need to know about it! The bakery was recommended by a date, in fact, we had our date at St Lawrence Market. I only tasted their corn muffin and let me tell you - it was exquisite.
I was impressed with the vast array of pastries and breads. Their marble yogurt cake (baked using a bundt cake pan) was absolutely beautiful! But I resisted.
But I will go back. I encourage all. The corn muffin was good, and I will continue going and tasting their other selections. -

While there are a number of bakeries in St. Lawrence Market, I settled on Stonemill (located in the lower level) because of the myriad of bread and the chocolate almond croissant seemed to be screaming out my name. Love chocolate croissants and the almonds was like extra icing on an already iced cake. The croissant was slightly crusty on the outside and flaky with a dark chocolate centre. It was topped off with a lot of almonds that while some fell into the bag there was enough left on the croissant to devour.
The pastries were pretty cheap here. The croissants & danishes (they have a variety of flavours for both) were only $1.49/each. If you buy 6 of them you get the 7th for free. Sweet! (Pun fully intended). While I didn't give into my inner fatty, this is definitely etched into my mind for the next time I come.
Yummeh in my tummeh.
Note: If you buy a loaf of bread you can have it sliced at the cash register.Listed in: Fresh Baked Goods & Desserts!

Let me just begin with this: I have yet to try something that I don't like!
Since I work in the area, I stop by Stonemill twice a week to pick up bread for my family.
My husband loves the cheese croissants, our son devours the pretzel sticks and muesli bagels.
My favorites are the ciabatta buns (- try to those toasted and topped with tomatoes!) and mulitgrain paninis (- eat it with Nutella - it's so yummy!).
We have also had the cranberry walnut bread a few times and it never lasted longer than a few hours.
I also find their sweet bakery items very good.
I've tried the chocolate croissant, the almond croissant as well as the chocolate cherry muffin so far and everything tasted great. -

UGH. I *just* got back into my gym routine, and along comes Stonemill Bakehouse with the audacity of presenting me with a flaky, gooey pastry that goes by the name of Raspberry Twist.
I also lay partial blame to Sarah L. for already derailing Operation: Don't Be A Fatty™ (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) so early in the year by steering me towards the Stonemill counter at St. Lawrence Market this morning, all the while chanting in a hushed whisper: "RASPBERRY TWIST. RASPBERRY TWIST. RASPBERRY TWIST!!!1"
We served ourselves, settled up at the cash ($1.56 apiece with tax) and then simul-consumed (virtually) our Raspberry Twists together as an afternoon snack later in the day while chatting on MSN.
Yes, we're geeks like that.Listed in: The Most Sinfully Decadent…, The Best Of St. Lawrence…

My first experience with Stonemill Bakehouse was at a Metro grocery store. I bought a loaf of their Flax & Honey Bread and was instantly hooked. Savory AND low on calories. It wasn't before long that I made my way down to their actual storefront at the St. Lawrence Market where I've discovered even more goodies! My new favourites are now Cranberry-Walnut Bread (you can totally skip any jam or spread and just devour as is!) and the Cranberry-Pumpking Seed Bread. Their staff are always friendly.
I have also purchased the brioche and made French Toast with it, however, I found it to be a bit dry. I also purchased some croissants for brunch one day. Their chocolate-almond croissant was really yummy, but I did not like the fact that their plain almond croissants were shaped like danishes... a Croissant is a Croissant! If anything, the Pain au Chocolat (aKa Chocolate Croissants are more commonly shaped as danishes).
In closing, they have great breads, but their pastries are just so-so.Listed in: St. Lawrence Eats

This is a hopping bakery on Saturday's.
I am a big fan of their pretzel bagels and chocolate croissants. Pretzel bagels you ask - yes, they are amazing! Imagine the density of a bagel, with the exterior flavour of a pretzel (minus the salt). These (along with their pretzel rolls) go fast. One Saturday when I wake up at the crack of dawn I will trek down to the Market to see what they have fresh out of the oven.
Stonemill's location is on the bottom floor, at the back of the building. Staff are friendly and very helpful. -

Around 4.5 but I rounded up cause I really love this place =)!
Their bread is HEAVEN. I've had their olive bread and roasted garlic bread and they're both amazing! The flavours really come through and they just have a wonderful smell that permeates any area within a five mile radius (in fact I could smell the roasted garlic bread from my living room even though it's securely wrapped in a plastic bag on my dining room table) and you can see bits of olives or garlic in the bread, they definitely do not skimp on ingredients. The bread itself is light, moist, soft, and chewy, CHEWY. I love the chewiness of a well kneaded bread and these bread have it.
Besides the bread they also have delectable pastries. The best chocolate croissants: finally! I found the perfect balance between sweetness and chocolatey...ness! It is sweet but my teeth doesn't ache and the chocolate just like flows into your mouth like velvet. The croissant is buttery but surprisingly not oily feeling and is very flavorful as well, croissant and chocolate is like match made in heaven!
I also love their strawberry and cheese croissant (or a danish) and their bear claw (although I thought their bear claw has too much pastry and not enough cream cheese).
And I must mention: the prices are pretty good, especially for the quality!
Anyways, it's my favorite bakery/restaurant/food stall(?) or St. Lawrence Market. -

The whole strudel is excellent and sells out before 10 or 11 am.
