Toronto Cafés and Bakeries

Toronto loves its coffee and treats. No matter the neighbourhood, a good cup of coffee is always lurking somewhere nearby. Cafés also offer some of the most affordable noshing in the city. Blessed by our multi-cultural landscape, you can also find baking that focuses on a host of cultural traditions.

Wallace Espresso

Wallace Espresso’s three locations serve great coffee and fresh baked goodies for very reasonable prices. You may have to line up for the good stuff, but it’s worth the wait.

Cafe23

Cafe23 is a delightful coffee shop located just east of Trinity Bellwoods Park. Excellent coffees & baked goods, and a fabulous outdoor patio – a great spot.

Nova Era Bakery

Nova Era has four locations, all serving authentic, tasty and inexpensive Portuguese treats. Fabulous baking, of course, but don’t miss out on the delicious hot sandwiches!

Aux Merveilleux de Fred

This classic French patisserie is a true gem. The coffee is superb (quelle surprise) and the baked goods delicious and the service is warm and welcoming. This is a must-visit spot on Queen St. W.

Bake Island Bakery & Cafe

A small Hong Kong-style bakery downtown on Yonge St. Bubble teas, savoury and sweet snacks, and pretty decent Japanese Milk Bread – a tough find in Toronto!

Delight Organic Fair Trade Chocolate

Delight lives up to the name. Decadent, rich chocolate treats that will satisfy the most discerning chocoholic. All with an ethical commitment to fair trade which just works.

Bunner’s

Bunner’s proves that gluten-free and vegan baked treats can be decadent and delicious. They’re so good we sometimes wonder . . . oh, never mind. Just check them out!

Sweet Trolley

Sweet Trolley is a Junction institution making delicious, home made treats. Famous for cinnamon buns, her fruit pies, danishes and coffee cakes are equally delicious.
