Best Cake Places in Toronto

"Known for their banh mi croissant sandwiches, brioche loaves and delectable pastries, Butter Baker also dreams up some amazing soft serve flavours. You can expect flavours like Baker’s Tiramisu, Cassis x Vanilla and Guava x Vanilla. Their distinct cones can be spotted all over Instagram, regardless of the season."

"Butter Baker is located in downtown Toronto on Dundas Street West near Bay Street. The popular Toronto ice cream stop also has a location in Markham. Butter Baker Pastry Chefs Tina and Chef Lucas first opened their Dundas West bakery in 2017."

"The bakery offers a delightful collection of birthday and celebration cakes. Their ‘Baker’s Birthday Cake’ is the one of the most popular ones. It is a vanilla sponge cake with Madagascar vanilla frosting."

"By far the cutest macarons in the city, this small patisserie in Kensington Market should not be missed for fans of the traditionally French dessert. In a variety of adorable shapes, these macarons delight the eyes as much as they delight the tongue. All of the shapes take inspiration from the animal kingdom (panda, corgi, etc…) or pop culture (the limited edition Toronto Raptors macaron) and anime (No-Face from Spirited Away, Tiger from Winnie the Pooh, and Doraemon, etc…)."

"Daan Go is the brainchild of Christopher Siu, who was on season 2 of Masterchef Canada Season 2!. They’re famous for their adorable character macarons, but they also have beautiful cakes and other pastries. They have 1 downtown location in Kensington Market and 2 locations in Scarborough."

"The Midland Avenue outpost of Daan Go specializing in cakes always has incredible new designs ready to go. Seasonal creations vary but there are mind-boggling signatures like a durian-shaped Gold Thorn or cake topped with Chef Siu’s must-try macarons. View this post on Instagram"

"A post shared by La Diperie (@ladiperie) on Jun 24, 2019 at 5:49am PDT. (Danforth)ladiperie.com. Totally delish soft serve, dipped in any kind of chocolate you want, (dark chocolate with orange? White chocolate maple fudge? You name it, they can dip your cone into it) and rolled in whatever you want (nuts, candies, cookies, again, you name it)."

"717 Bay St, 1-877-599-4438 // 372 Danforth Ave, 416-901-7130 // 3264 Yonge St, 647-461-8542. La Diperie is a playful ice cream parlour concept from Montreal. In Toronto, La Diperie now has three ice cream shops located on Bay Street, Danforth Avenue and Yonge Street."

"This Montreal import has made a frosty business from giving soft-serve seekers almost too many choices. In store they have 30 dips in funky flavours like lemonade and pistachio. Their toppings game is strong, too."

"No trip to Markham is complete without a stroll through the Pacific Mall. If you’ve got a sweet tooth hop in line at Uncle Tetsu’s Japanese Cheesecake and take home the bake shops two signature sweets: a fluffy cheesecake and box of massive Honey Madeleine’s. While you wait in line enjoy a moment of culinary theatre as a choir of bakers whirl and twirl as they prepare thousands of cakes in the shops open concept kitchen."

"A post shared by Uncle Tetsu Canada (@uncletetsucanada) on Apr 24, 2020 at 10:01am PDT. If you’re craving a sweet and tangy treat but you’re wanting something a little lighter, a Japanese cheesecake from Uncle Tetsu fits the bill. You can order goods from the spot’s Bay Street location via Uber Eats from 11 am to 8:30 pm."

"A post shared by Bake Shoppe (@bakeshoppeto) on Mar 12, 2020 at 3:46pm PDT. Sweets and sass, sass and sweets. They go together like peanut butter and jelly, and Bake Shoppe knows it."

"The cakes at Rahier can be described as modern, chic and scrumptious!. The nouveau style of decorating has attracted quite the following since it opened in 1996. The croissants are also laminated to perfection, making them as flaky and buttery as the ones found in Paris."

"McEwan enjoyed the Mata Hari cake, with mango and coconut mousse. “The gooseberry is pretty but perhaps misleading as I couldn’t taste this through the cake. It complemented the flavours well, however.” McEwan was particularly fond of the papaya compote and texture."

"For coffee, tea, and sweet lovers, Brazil Bakery and Pastry is the perfect place and they have a variety of delicious sweets, deserts, sandwiches, coffee, tea, and main dishes for your afternoon tea and dinner. Their pastel de nata (Portuguese custard tart) is the best one I have ever had, and it costs next to nothing. They also make everything from scratch and the service is fast and friendly, not to mention it is extremely affordable."

"When you walk in, you’ll be immediately greeted by tall wire racks of freshly baked loaves and buns but delve a little further and you’ll discover their tantalizing baked goods. One of the must-tries is the pastel de nata (Portuguese custard tart), which locals swear by with their flaky shell and balanced custard that isn’t overwhelmingly sweet."

"There’s no question that King West is a prime spot to hit for brunch, and LOV’s menu caters to that with vegan versions of classic faves like a tofu-take on a morning Benny. And if you want to swing by for lunch or dinner, you can count on a wide array of savoury options on deck, too. Anticipate scrumptious bites like vegan burgers, arancini, and lasagna."

"An unbelievable plant-based restaurant hailing all the way from Montreal, Quebec. This restaurant is aesthetically so pleasing with their interior decor in both Montreal and the brand-new Toronto location on King Street West being almost perfect. Crisp, clean, warm and inviting, this atmo is sure to please and trust us the food is amazing!"

"If you or your date is vegan or vegetarian, pay a visit to LOV. The restaurant specializes in fancified yet causal vegan fare (think frites not fries) and cocktails in a whimsical, bright and colourful, garden-like setting. Trust us, you and your date will love it."

"Beautiful presentation and exclusive dishes, like the namesake giant sesame ball, distinguish this all-you-can-eat buffet from all others in the GTA. The emphasis is on Asian food and flavours with a menu influenced by every kind of Far East cooking you can name, plus some basic Canadian dishes for the timid or diet-restricted. The everyday specials are the never-ending Dragon Noodle and The Shallot Pancake."

"Fennel Organic Eatery is a 100% vegan establishment tucked inside Noah’s Naturals. They offer a takeout buffet with 18+ different hot and cold items daily. They also have snacks, soup, baked goods, juices, and more."
