Best French Bakery in Toronto

"23 It just wouldn’t be summer without spending an hour in line for a treat at Bang Bang, Ossington’s perennially popular (but even more so in the warmer months) ice cream shop. The staff stays busy stuffing scoops in flavours like banana pudding, matcha-jasmine-soba and lychee rosewater, between and inside all kinds of cone substitutes: chewy cookies, sticky cinnamon buns, choux pastry puffs and our favourite, Hong Kong egg waffles. The bubbly vessel is just as much fun to eat as it is tasty."

"When The Pilot opened its doors in 1944, it was originally dedicated to Canadian WWII pilots fighting overseas. Today, The Pilot continues to embody this spirit, with its large rooftop terrace dubbed the “Flight Deck.” The laid-back atmosphere is indicative of Yorkville and is a great option for some much-needed reprieve from the bustling downtown core. On Saturdays, you’ll be able to catch live jazz from some of Canada’s finest musicians, adding to the historic charm of the establishment."

"Location: Ossington ave., Richmond St., Queen St. E, Bay + Bloor, Wagstaff Dr,. 100 King St.W., Union station ,Toronto St. Credit@pilotcoffee. What makes them special: The chain of Pilot Coffee Bars has left a trail of delicious coffee all over the city."

"A post shared by The Pilot (@thepilot_to) on Sep 21, 2019 at 12:30pm PDT. Climb on up to the flight deck to enjoy this rooftop in Yorkville. The retractable awning makes it practically all-weather, so here, patio season extends to December."

"Dineen Coffee Co. is a stylish, retrofitted, cozy coffee shop just south of the Eaton Centre in a super cool old heritage building that was once a hat and fur manufacturing company. Stay in and check out the renaissance revival decor, or get a cup to go and stroll through Cloud Gardens Conservatory just ½ a block west on Temperance Street."

"Dineen Coffee is one of the best coffee shops in Toronto with three locations. I visited the original location in the historic Dineen Building (140 Yonge St). This one really make you feel like you’ve stepped into a movie."

"Hot or cold, however you like it, Dineen Coffee Co. has got you covered. Pair it with a puff pastry or delicious snack for your day. There are three locations across Toronto, ready for you to stop by and enjoy."

"At 7 Baker, European and Asian flavours come together to create totally unique and delectable baked goods. With traditional European bread and pastry recipes infused with Asian flavours, this bakery is unlike anything you’ve ever laid eyes on. The shiny space features gold finishings that make the bakery gleam from the outside."

"Lickadee Splitis the ideal spot to take the little ones for ice cream, as it boasts a kid-friendly atmosphere. It is located in Olde East York Village and has rows of outdoor seating, with adult chairs on one side and colorful kiddie plastic chairs on the other. The decor adds to the fun vibe of the shop, with ice cream cutouts on the window and a chalkboard wall."

"If you’re looking for the best baklava in town, most locals will point you in this direction. Located in Scarborough, you’ll find a huge assortment of Middle Eastern sweets on display. Everyone has their own favourites but their baklava, knafeh, and mafrouka are superb."

"Remarkable Bean is one of those spots you visit that does both amazing coffee and tea. Not one or the other!. For me, this is a total winner as (being British) I live for a good cuppa tea."

"at Steeles, Giorgio D. Ristorante has been in business for 35 years. This is a testament to the authentic and... Had the grilled seafood platter and it was amazing."

"Hillcrest Mall has definitely got an upgrade since I lived in Richmond Hill, and I so wish it was this nice when I was back in high school!"

"This gorgeous mall is a shopping staple for many Torontonians and features more designer labels and luxury stores than anywhere else. Only a short drive (or subway ride) away from downtown Toronto, Yorkdale Shopping Centre always has something fun going on. This mall in North York has over 250+ retail stores including Aritzia, AllSaints, Canada Goose, Jimmy Choo, Versace, Chanel, OVO, and even more to check out."

"When Yorkdale opened in a north Toronto suburban area 1964, it was the world's largest mall. Although it no longer holds that title, Yorkdale is no less impressive a paradise for shopaholics. More than 400,000 customers visit each week, but Yorkdale's spacious hallways and 27-foot high ceilings give shoppers the feeling of space even on the busiest days."

"What is it: Real estate near the city’s core is hard to find (well, afford) but the folks at Northern Maverick have carved out space for a sprawling patio, a stunning restaurant, a tidy bottle shop and a charcuterie room (yes, a charcuterie room). Why go: This might be the snazziest place downtown to grab a house-brewed beer. Take a client or a date here if you’re looking to impress."

"Although craft breweries come in all shapes and sizes, I never dreamed I would see one on the main floor of a condominium building, just off King Street West in downtown Toronto. Suspended over a parking garage of luxury import cars at that!. But there is one, about a hundred feet from my front door and I'm in love with the brews and the restaurant."

"The patio at this brewery in the King West area has lots of space and ample heating for a brunch, lunch, dinner or just casual beer with a chance of zero shivers."

"There’s usually a lineup to get into Bellwoods’ white-picket-fenced patio, but it’s well worth the wait to knock back the beloved beers in a prime people-watching spot. It’s famous for its limited releases and collaborations with international breweries, but you’ll always be able to count on mainstays like the frothy sour ale Jelly King – and its fruity editions, like strawberry rhubarb and pink guava – and the potent American-style IPA Witchshark."

"Bellwoods Brewery started out as a small brewpub in the west end of the city, and now they’re known as one of the best craft breweries in Toronto. They’ve got a pretty large selection of all kinds of different brews, and their Jelly King sour ales are pretty great!. You can find their bottle shops both on Ossington and in North York."

"Bellwoods Brewery is regularly in the discussion for one of the best breweries in Toronto. Jerry from Four Columns of a Balanced Life:. “Mike Clark and Luke Pestl do not like to be called ‘Brewmaster’."

"Mississauga's biggest bathhouse offers a Turkish Hammam, dry Finnish Sauna, and an authentic banya made of cedar with varying levels of heat. There's a brick stove within the sauna, as is the case in any traditional Russian spa, and tea room offerings for when you're finished."

"I’m going to assume that Spa My Blend is code for something that regular spa-goers may be familiar with, but to me, it just seems like a cool catchphrase that I’ll just pretend to understand (smile and wave boys, just smile and wave). Located in the Ritz-Carlton hotel, that super fancy schmancy building near the TIFF Bell Lightbox on King Street, Spa My Blend offers luxurious treatments for any and every guest who arrives. @mynn.vuembedded via"
