1. Athens Pastries
Toronto, ON M4K 1P5
(416) 463-5144
Categories:
Bakeries,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhoods: Greektown, Riverdale
Easily one of my favourite spots in Toronto. A simple menu of consistently amazing food at reasonable prices - you can't ask for more than that. I've eaten at Athens hundreds of times over that last 20 years and it's always phenomenal.
Athens serves a…More »
2. Frangipane Patisserie
The Citrus Poppyseed cake at Frangipane is killer. Four layers of lemon poppyseed cake are separated by creamy, tart lemon curd and the whole thing is frosted with a delicious lemon cream cheese icing. Flawlessly presented and topped with a single…More »
3. Terroni
Toronto, ON M5C 1K6
(416) 203-3093
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Terroni is currently my favourite place for a "nice" dinner. The food, service, price, and the space itself are all top notch. The restaurant is housed in Toronto's original courthouse, it's a beautiful building with all sorts of cool nooks and…More »
4. Reg Dried Foods
Toronto, ON M5T 1L8
(416) 593-9814
Categories:
Desserts,
Coffee & Tea,
Specialty Food
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
The best baklava ever!! You'd never suspect to find good baklava at a store that mainly sells bulk dry goods but it's true. This baklava ($3) is super chewy, filled with nuts, and drenched in an obscene amount of thick, delicious honey.
If you prefer…More »
5. Crêpes à GoGo
Toronto, ON M4W 3Y8
(416) 922-6765
My favourite crêpe place in Toronto. Both the sweet and savoury crêpes are awesome. This little place has a great feel to it and they have all the little things down that really add to the experience, from the owner's French accent to the way she…More »
6. Nova Era Bakery
This review is for the natas at Nova Era.
For those that don't know, a nata is a Portuguese egg tart with a sweet creamy filling and flakey shell. You'll often see them in plastic trays of six at Portuguese markets. Avoid these prepackaged tarts at…More »
7. Xococava
Toronto, ON M4T 2S9
(416) 979-9916
Category:
Desserts
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
I've been looking for a great hot chocolate place in Toronto for awhile now and I think I've finally found it. They serve a thick, rich sipping chocolate or a thinner version with steamed milk. Both are excellent and make Xococava the best spot for…More »
8. Stubbe Chocolates & Pastry
Toronto, ON M6G 1Z4
(416) 923-0956
Categories:
Desserts,
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: Seaton Village
For the chocolate lover in your life that doesn't like their cake too rich or sweet the Hazelnut Torte ($28) at Stubbe is a great option. The cake is made with ground hazelnuts rather than flour so I imagine it's also gluten free if that's your…More »
9. Cold Stone Creamery
Toronto, ON M5S 2B4
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Yorkville, Downtown Core
When Cold Stone first opened in the Time Hortons at Bay & Bloor, which is right across from my office, it was a very bad day for my health. Those first few weeks I was getting Cold Stone ice cream almost every other day. In the interest of not…More »
10. The Pie Shack
Toronto, ON M4E 1G7
(647) 351-1411
Categories:
Desserts,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: The Beach
The Pie Shack's got things figured out. A lovely space reminiscent of a cottage down to every last detail, including cards, beat-up old books, board games, and a cool dog. The owner, Tim, is super friendly, attentive, and loves to tell the Pie Shack…More »
11. Patachou Patisserie
Toronto, ON M4W 2L6
(416) 927-1105
The croissants ($1.85) at Patachou really are excellent. Flaky crust, moist inside, buttery, and great flavour. Probably the best I've had in Toronto. If I stopped eating here, and I wish I did, I'd be giving Patachou 5 stars.
The Lemon Tart ($5.25),…More »
12. Dessert Lady Café
Toronto, ON M4W 1J5
(416) 924-3223
The Dessert Lady sits somewhere between a grocery store bakery and a truly top quality place in terms of both quality and price. The space is large and totally open, which I like because it allows you to see the action in the kitchen. There's no…More »
13. Bakery On the Go
On the very rare occasions when I find myself at Warden station I like to pop into Bakery On the Go to grab a snack while I wait for the bus. Most of the treats on offer are of the sugary, cream-filled variety, which isn't really my scene. The…More »
14. Wanda's Belgian Waffles
Toronto, ON M4Y 1Z8
Categories:
Desserts,
Belgian,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Decent Belgian-style waffles-- dough based rather than batter based -- that could be excellent if they worked on their recipe and made the waffles fresh.
Waffles that come in four flavours ($2.57-2.86): vanilla, cinnamon, maple, and strawberry. A…More »

East Asian Favourites (9)Japanese, Chinese, and Korean restaurants worth checking out. |
