Diet busting bakeries (Toronto edition)
See All Lists
1. Bobbette & Belle
Toronto, ON M4M 1K9
(416) 466-8800
I was thinking about my ratings recently and it occurred to me that I'm kind of skewed towards 4 and 5 star reviews. I reckoned it was time to get tougher so I thought about my rating for B&B for ages, wondering if there was a way to subtract stars.…More »
2. For The Love of Cake Custom Creations
Toronto, ON M6K 3P6
(416) 306-6446
A solid 4 I think. Genevieve's dedication to her craft is shown in the inventive and frequently changing menu as well as the "Iron Cupcake" competition she organises. I've seen her in action at that and she was full of enthusiasm!
The cupcakes seem…More »
3. Dlish Cupcakes
Toronto, ON M6J 1G1
(416) 703-8005
I hate to go back somewhere and mark them down....but I really have to I think.
My first experience was picking a random cupcake out of a box and getting a bite of some others. The peanut butter earned the 4 star rating.
I've been to the retail…More »

Oh yum!
My friend bought these for her daughter's first birthday party. I can confirm that the… Read more »
4. My Market Bakery
Toronto, ON M5T 1L8
(416) 593-6772
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
This place actually does feel like *my* market bakery. It's pretty close and has a large selection of tasty treats. Importantly, it's also cheap!
Great breads and fresh chewy bagels with a large selection of croissants/chocolate croissants etc. You…More »
5. Babycake Cupcakes
Toronto, ON M4M 1J3
(416) 406-5910
Thanks to Carmen M for the tip on the location. I was wandering along Queen St and the sign for cupcakes caught my eye. Looked up and I was outside Lil' Baci. I took the semi-accidental stumbling upon it as a sign to go get some so popped inside.

6. DAVIDsTEA
Toronto, ON M5V 2A2
(416) 506-0653
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
Perhaps I was unlucky, but I can't really go over 3 stars after my first experience in David's Tea. I have been trying to cut down on my junk food this week but decided to allow myself Sunday treats. The friendly girl in Little Nicky's had…More »
7. Bake Dessert Company
York, ON M6B 4J3
(416) 782-2253
I was going through furniture shopping hell when I stumbled across this bake shop. It's in the middle of a kind of industrial estate surrounded by furniture and flooring shops, a place to get driving licenses and so on. I was in dire need of some…More »
8. Miss Cora's Kitchen
Toronto, ON M5T 2K2
(416) 593-2672
Categories:
Desserts,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
The website for Miss Cora's Kitchen references a piece on them by Blog.to and asks "Toronto's best cupcakes?". I sincerely hope not. I may have to find some other comfort food...or actually embark on the promised diet.
They're not bad-they're…More »
9. Lollicakes
Toronto, ON M4S 2M5
(416) 482-2253
Category:
Desserts
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville
It's actually difficult to rate these cupcakes in a way. We were treated to them in work by someone who had spent a few weeks there and it was a lovely gesture so I feel a little bad writing a negative review. The company delivered the cupcakes to…More »
10. Cobs Bread
How do they choose the staff at Cobs? I'd love to know because this is the second branch I've tried and the staff here were just as smiley, enthusiastic and ridiculously friendly as the people in the shop at Kensington Market.
The woman serving me…More »
11. Cobs Bread

Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
Back again today for another scone. Guy serving me was so so friendly! It's not often I walk out of somewhere beaming just because someone is genuinely pleasant. Their staff are almost as sweet as their buns.... I'm hooked!

Way to my heart: stick a friendly guy with a big smile and an even bigger plate of scone samples… Read more »
12. Wanda's Pie In The Sky
Toronto, ON M5T 2M2
(416) 236-7585
Categories:
Bakeries,
Desserts,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
Hmmm.....a 3.5 I think. It took a few too many calories, but I'm finally ready to write my review of Wanda's. I had just watched Waitress again the first time I wandered by and it was as if the shop had been deposited in my path by an act of God.…More »
