1. Tutti Fruitti
Toronto, ON M5S 1X5
(416) 929-1693
Category:
Candy Stores
Neighbourhood: The Annex
This place is bloody evil, in a good way of course.
I lived directly across the street from it for nearly 3 years, I could see the sign from my living room window. This, combined with Tutti Fruitti's late night hours of operation, resulted in many…More »
2. Soma Chocolatemaker
Delicious chocolate this close to my house is DANGEREUX!
The new Soma location has an absolutely beautiful interior. There are a few nice plush stools and bar counter right at the front so you can sit your coffee in comfort and watch people pass by…More »
3. Oodles of Strudels
Oodles of Strudels is a bakery in the North market (open Saturdays) in the St Lawrence Market. They sell strudels (obviously) and various breads.
They make a bunch of non-traditional types of strudels: poppy seed, cherry with cream cheese,…More »
4. Brazil Bakery and Pastry
Toronto, ON M6K 1T8
(416) 531-2888
Categories:
Bakeries,
Brazilian,
Portuguese
Neighbourhood: Brockton Village
I'm rating this place vs other bakeries, not based on it's authenticity/Brazilian-ness.
10 years ago, when my buddies used to live a few doors down, we would come over to Brazil Bakery stoned out of our minds and in desperate need of munchies. I…More »
5. Sweet Fantasies
Toronto, ON M5R
(416) 968-8816
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: The Annex
Opened only in the summer, Sweet Fantasies is a small ice cream shop nestled in the heart of the Annex at the corner of Bloor and Brunswick. Outdoor seating only (cute little patio, nice for people watching)
This place has the usual ice cream treats…More »
6. Strictly Bulk
Toronto, ON M6H 1L4
(416) 533-3242
Categories:
Specialty Food,
Grocery
Neighbourhood: Dovercourt
Strictly Bulk is very much like the "Bulk Barn" except much smaller and independently owned.
Pricewise, it's awesome. I come here for all my cooking and baking supplies. Nothing like having fresh spices at hand instead of using the shit that's been…More »
7. MoRoCo Chocolat
Toronto, ON M5R 3K5
(416) 961-2202
Category:
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: Yorkville
Very fab place for tea or bevvies with the ladies. But I can't see men liking this place too much.
We tried the lunch menu. Food was great. I probably wouldn't come back unless someone else was paying, as it's certainly not cheap. I had the steak…More »
8. Mon Berri Frozen Yogurt & Pâtisserie Café - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M5S 1W7
(416) 340-2377
Categories:
Desserts,
Coffee & Tea,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhoods: The Annex, University of Toronto, Downtown Core
Mon Berri is very decent. It's too bad this place is badly located, if it were in a busier area I reckon it would have a lot more customers. It's big inside and also has a huge patio out front.
You take your pick of 4 different soft serve ice cream…More »
9. Athena Bakery
Toronto, ON M4K 1R1
(416) 462-1411
Neighbourhoods: The Danforth, Greektown
This place is freakin OUT OF CONTROL!
Had I not just eaten a ridiculously huge meal at Ouzeri, I would have been doing some major sampling here.
Athena has the widest variety of Greek pastries and treats I've ever seen. All sorts of goodies piled so…More »
10. Menchie's Frozen Yogurt
OH MY GOODNESS
I was anxiously awaiting this place to open up as the sign was posted out front for nearly a month now.
Today, opening day finally arrived! I was walking through the Annex and spied a GIANT ICE CREAM CONE man hailing people in.…More »
11. Sugar Mountain Confectionery
Toronto, ON M4P 2C6
(416) 486-9321
Category:
Candy Stores
Neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant and Davisville, Yonge and Eglinton
Do not be fooled (ahem, Carleen), the candy here is indeed exorbitantly priced.
Bulk candy at Sugar Mountain is TWO DOLLARS per 100 grams. Scammers!
At Tutti Frutti the majority of the candy costs $1.29 per 100 grams. Then the nicer chocolates are…More »
12. Future Bakery & Cafe
Toronto, ON M5S 1Y2
(416) 922-5875
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: The Annex
Ahh, Futures, a real jack-of-all-trades (coffee shop, bakery, cheap breakfast, cafeteria style lunch/dinner food, patio bar) establishment.
I lived a couple floors above this place for 3 years so I was a frequent visitor.
Here's my summary:

- huge…More »
13. For The Love of Cake Custom Creations
Toronto, ON M6K 3P6
(416) 306-6446
This place was a bit out of the way (unless you live nearby).
I'm not much of a cupcake person but I was excited to try one nonetheless. After scoping out the website, I was a wee bit disappointed that they didn't have ANY of the kinds I wanted to…More »
14. Mashion Bakery
Toronto, ON M5T 2C2
(647) 348-2866
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
Mashion VS Ding Dong battle! (Both being Asian bakeries, close to each other on the east side of Spadina st)
I like Mashion slightly better. Similar selection and price range, but I noticed Mashion keeps the fresh goods going ALL day. They must bake a…More »
15. Furama Cake and Desserts Garden
Toronto, ON M5T
(416) 504-5709
I used to be a regular at Furama but I've recently converted to Mashion Bakery which has a better selection.
Still, Furama is a reasonable choice when you're looking for Chinese and Vietnamese baked goods and desserts. The items are very picked over…More »
16. Crème
Toronto, ON M6G 1C2
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
Decent new-ish place on College st with extensive variety of desserts.
They have posh chocolate truffles at the back ($1.75 each or they do up boxes of 5), gelato at the front and the entire mid counter is lined with a zillion desserts and cakes.
The…More »
17. Sicilian Sidewalk Cafe
Toronto, ON M6G 1C3
(416) 531-7755
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
This is another excellent patio for people watching in Little Italy. Open quite late.
They serve all sorts of coffees, ice creams, plus ice cream and coffee combinations. YUM.
The waffles are flippin huge and come topped with mounds of ice cream. Good…More »
18. Tutti Frutti
This Tutti Frutti really disappoints me.
I am a diehard fan of their other location in the Annex on Bloor Street West.
I'm not sure if they have the same owner but I think not. I noticed the candy at this Yonge/College location was more expensive and…More »
19. Ding Dong Pastries
Toronto, ON M5T 2E9
(416) 640-2761
DING DONG!? Something dirty or perhaps the sound of a doorbell ringing?
But no, it's another Chinese bakery. WTF!
This one is kind of crappy. I much prefer Furama or Hong Kong Island bakery (across the street).
Wandered into Ding Dong this evening…More »
