1. Ella's Uncle
Toronto, ON M6J 1W1
(416) 703-8881
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Little Italy
Try walking by Ella's Uncle and not leave your forehead grease/trail of saliva on its front window. The four varieties of scones! The freshly baked choco chip cookies! It's like the home I've always dreamed of! Fantasy housewife momma, are you there?…More »
2. Menchie's Frozen Yogurt
If Menchie's is good enough for Jennifer Garner, what's-her-name Kardashian + a random Jonas Brother, then it's damn well good enough for me.
It's serve-yourself chain froyo at its finest, with 10 surprisingly convincing flavours (cake batter, irish…More »
3. Nadège Patisserie
Toronto, ON M6J 1G2
(416) 368-2009
This place feels more like a laboratory or art gallery than it does a bakery: No fruit flies. No mis-shaped pastries. Not even a puff of flour on the chef's face.
Everything is... eerily perfect.
The pastries are lined up so uniformly, I often mistake…More »
4. Wanda's Pie In The Sky
Toronto, ON M5T 2M2
(416) 236-7585
Categories:
Bakeries,
Desserts,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
Oh, mah gard. While waiting in line to purchase some of their gooey monkey bread, I inhaled almost the entire plate of the chocolate chip cookie samples.
I almost wished the line was longer than it was.
Anyway, it's rare to find a soft, moist…More »

Sour cherry pie is so boring, but feels soooo right.
So, it bothers me that every time I come in here… Read more »
5. Miss Cora's Kitchen
Toronto, ON M5T 2K2
(416) 593-2672
Categories:
Desserts,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
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…More »
6. Art Square Cafe
Toronto, ON M5T 1G5
(416) 595-5222
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Creperies,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Art Square Café's sandwich board displays photos of too-good-to-be-real crepes, sending my salivary glands pumping off the taste-o-meter. Passing by proved enough to mentally fill my stomach, merely from the pictures alone. I doubted the crepes would…More »
7. Carousel Bakery
Toronto, ON M5E 1C3
(416) 863-6764
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Bakeries
Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
Forget about that peameal bacon sandwich. It's good, but line-ups for food always leave a foul taste in my mouth. I'm part of the instant gratification generation, after all, and I want to be standing waiting for food when the food can wait for me.

8. Cinnabon - CLOSED
For the longest time I equated Cinnabon with Eglinton Station and the 9-5 commuting lifestyle. At the time I had my Metropass, which was handy, because those cravings for the cinnamon rolls came frequently... often with the gusto of a freaking…More »
9. Chinese Egg Waffle Vendor
Toronto, ON M5T
Category:
Desserts
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Chinatown, Downtown Core
Chinese waffle stand right near a streetcar stop? Genius.
Well... when it's open, at least. I can never predict when these ladies will be here. The stand is a permanent fixture -- lonely, sad, and aching to fill my stomach with those warm waffley…More »
10. Dessert Lady Café
Toronto, ON M4W 1J5
(416) 924-3223
You'd figure a chocolate cupcake would up my rating. Turns out it had the opposite effect: a little too dry for my liking.
Not filing for divorce yet. Just a little time apart, that's all.

Hubba, hubba, Dessert Lady. You know how to win this girl's heart.
I've only had one cupcake here --… Read more »
11. Wagamama Pastries & Cafe
Toronto, ON M5V 1N6

Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea,
Desserts
Neighbourhood: Niagara
My lips become paralyzed at the mere mention of cream puffs. So when I heard about Wagamama's chocolate and green tea cream puffs, I went altogether koo-koo.
And the chocolate cream puffs ARE delicious, although a bit pricey ($1.50) for a single bite…More »
12. Sicilian Sidewalk Cafe
Toronto, ON M6G 1C3
(416) 531-7755
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
Waffle-licious. These waffles are large and fluffy, and the smell of the cooking batter alone sends me adrift down College, down to this café. There are also decent homemade tartufos and crepes made here, but I stick with the waffles and ice cream.…More »
13. Kim Moon Bakery
Toronto, ON M5T 1G7
(416) 977-1933
As a child, I remember this bakery/restaurant being one of the most popular in Chinatown. The back restaurant area was full of old-timers and a loud bustling atmosphere. In fact, I recall spending a few mornings here with family on our annual trip to…More »
14. Queen's Patisserie
Toronto, ON M5T 1G7
(416) 581-1661
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Downtown Core
Yes, it's got cleanliness, urban bougie decor, and 40% cash discounts on its side. However, I think this bakery would probably be more successful outside of Chinatown than where it's located now (though it appears they do a fine cake catering…More »
