17) Dough Bakeshop

This bakery is found on Danforth avenue and creates aromatic dough using local grains. Everything looks so delicious here, you can’t really go wrong with the selection here.

16) Grodziński Bakery

Undeniably the best Kosher bakery in Toronto. Grodzinski’s is located in North York and serves kosher baked goods and bread. Their bread buns and pastries are phenomenal but who could resist their sugar cookie. The beloved Jewish bakery serves pre-packaged baked goods along with their fresh ones, and the quality is consistent throughout. If you are looking for a kosher bakery, you can’t miss the Grodzinski bakery.

13) Butter Baker

This bakery is popular for its butter tarts. The baked goods served here are perfectly balanced in terms of flavour. Be sure to try the lemon meringue croissant. The croissant is made to be flaky and buttery. The lemon cream is flavoured just right so you just taste a hint of lemon. This lemon cream oozes out after each bite of the croissant. A perfect combination is eating it with their soft-serve ice cream. The soft serve changes every month so you can expect to try something unique each time with flavours like guava or strawberry apple.

8) Bunner’s

Bunners is a firm believer in cinnamon buns. These cinnamon buns are to die for, though they have other treats and cakes too. Their original Kensington market location was so popular, they decided to open up a second location on Dundas, between Keele and Runnymede. This place is completely gluten-free and vegan, but you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference when it comes to taste. When you go, be sure to try the cinnamon buns and the raspberry square!

6) Roselle

The desserts here are a cut above in terms of flavour, texture and presentation. Their baked goods are a bit pricey, but they are worth it for the quality you’ll be getting. A favourite is the earl grey cake which has a strong tea flavour, and a soft textured mousse with a flakey and crispy crust. This cake is solely responsible for gaining the loyalty of their customers. Another recommendation is the turtle tart, which comes with salted caramel and candied pecans on top of a chocolate mousse in an almond tart shell.

1) Sanremo

Ask anyone in Etobicoke what their favourite bakery is, and I’m sure 99.9% would say Sanremo. This Italian bakery on Royal York is an Etobicoke staple and has been since 1969. They serve up pizza, sandwiches, and coffee; but their donuts are what people line up for. They have so many unique creations and flavours, you have to go try it for yourself. Make sure you’re there early enough to try them, the shop usually sells out by 2 pm. If you’re unsure where to start, go with the fritters, you won’t regret it. They also have baked goods other than donuts too. Try their croissants, cupcakes, bars, and of course cannolis for a delicious culinary experience.
