Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Kitchener

"If you live in Hamilton and you haven’t been to Mulberry, do you REALLY live in Hamilton?. Mulberry Street Coffeehouse on James North is easily the busiest independent coffee shop in Hamilton, and with good reason; the bohemian vibes are inviting, there’s tons of workspace in the spacious yet warm interior, and the fair-trade coffee and food menu are both stacked with deliciousness for days. They even have local beer from breweries like Collective Arts and Fairweather on tap."

"Planted in Hamilton doesn’t see dietary limitations as restrictions — they see them as an opportunity to push the boundaries of what is possible with plants. Everything that is served at Planted in Hamilton is both vegan and gluten-free, making them the perfect spot for those with food sensitivities. Their regular menu offers a variety of shareables, salads, sandwiches, mains and sides."

"While most of us are self-isolating at home, it can be easy to say “screw it” and nosh on some junk food for lunch. Don’t get us wrong: we love our chips and chocolate too. But when your body needs a break and you want to switch it up to something both delicious and healthy, Planted in Hamilton has got you covered."

"The place is inconspicuous on the plaza it's on; we had to drive around twice before we saw it from the road...."

"For ethically sourced desserts locals love, look no further than this from-scratch bakery with two locations in Hamilton. The menu is stacked with everything from cookies and brownies to macarons and tarts. Pies and tall cakes are popular, but it's their holiday treats (Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween, etc.) that you'll really want to taste (and photograph!)."

"Made from scratch and with seasonal ingredients, Cake & Loaf has a selection of sweet & savoury items. They’re also known for one-of-a-kind custom designs."

"Democracy* is unquestionably one of Locke Street’s favourite coffee shops. Endeavouring to be equal parts cafe, vegan eatery, and community space, Democracy* thrives on being an open, welcoming environment that also happens to serve killer vegan bites. Tofu Banh Mi and Big Mac pizzas are eye-catching offerings, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg in a stacked plant-based menu filled with share plates and sizeable entrees."

"Democracy on Locke understands that dietary restrictions shouldn’t stand in the way of access to delicious, indulgent food. The coffee shop sells plenty of vegan and gluten-free goods, allowing a wider demographic to come in and enjoy their food. While all of their food is great (have you tried their nachos?) we’re really big fans of their donuts."

"Democracy on Locke is a proudly vegan and vegetarian friendly café. Located on Locke Street, Democracy is a great spot for friends to gather and grab a bite to eat. Democracy’s extensive menu is ever-evolving, making sure to always incorporate both fresh and local ingredients."

"You may have spotted Hello Baked’s sugar cookie versions of nail polish bottles, tiny tacos and electric guitars on Instagram’s ‘explore’ page—these edible canvases are the handiwork of owner Jessica Lee. She opened the Hello Baked Sugar Shop (kitty-corner to buzzy brunch spot Motel) in late 2017, continuing her custom cookie orders while dishing out local wares and gift-boxed treats. The pièce de try-to-resistance?"

"You may know this pretty sugar shop from its much photographed outdoor mural adorned with a welcoming 'hello'. Inside, baby pink walls and floral wallpaper invite you to explore the boutique's delicate confections: candies, a sprinkle bar, chocolate, and their signature sugar cookies with extreme attention to detail (great for gifts!)."

"Come for the pumpkin patch, stay for the 20-acre corn maze and 8-acre sunflower maze of beautiful, Insta-worthy blooms. Pre-register for maze and hands-on play and animal areas for younger visitors. Don’t leave without popping into The Tiny Shop Bakery specializing in from-scratch fruit pies in over 30 varieties!"

"Starting the list is the Italian bakery Pane Del Sole at Cannon and John. What we like here is that it has a place to sit down to relax and reflect as you munch of one of their classic Italian pastries. They also have reasonably priced cakes for family get-togethers and on the opposite side is a hot table and deli if you’re more than peckish."

"For a variety of Italian desserts, Pane Del Sole is your place to go!. This shop on John and Cannon is home to hot food, pastries, and Italian products at excellent prices!. They have different kinds of cannolis, cookies, squares & pastries, but the Pesche Dolci (Italian Peach Cookies) are what keeps me coming back!"

"For those with food allergies and sensitivities, Dolled Up Desserts is here to make all your dessert dreams come true. Specializing in actually delicious vegan and gluten free treats, this James Street North dessert shop is dedicated to ensuring no sweet tooth goes unsatisfied."

"They take all your favourite items and flip them into works of art. From their Porchetta benny to gnudi cinnamon toast, to their Nutella flap jack stack and breakfast pizza. Yes, you read that right: of course this Italian restaurant would have breakfast pizza."
