Bake Shoppe

I’d heard a lot about this little pastry shop and so we decided to go try it out. As soon as you enter you’ll see a beautiful display of baked goodies, fresh pastries and cupcakes lined up next to their wonderful looking cakes. We tried their red velvet cupcake which is supposed to be really good, and it sure was! The butter cream topping was light and just the right sweetness. The cupcake itself was not very dense and would melt in your mouth. You can even place orders for customised cakes here. They have red velvet and some other interesting flavours available. It might take around a week for any customised orders on their cakes, so it would be a good idea to order well in advance. Would love to go back again and try their other goodies!

One of the cutest bakery I’ve been to! I always go here for their famous rap-cookie gift sets. For valentines, they do customized cookies that you can give to your loved ones and they are absolutely the cutest. Their baked treats are definitely pricy but it makes sense as so much care, dedication and hard work goes into making every single treats. Haven’t tried their cakes yet but you can order wedding cakes here. Definitely recommend this place if you haven’t been yet!

The cake cost $245. We’ve been their customer for 9 years. And very disappointed which how they made our cake yesterday. The design we wanted is to change the blue to red, Stars and moon to spider web. The rest stay the same. But look at the picture. The cake they made for us look like it was done by a student who are learning how to make cake. About the taste of the cake, it’s very dense, nothing else but like an extra dense muffin. I complaint to them and their answer basically just because we didn’t like the cake. Nothing to do with them.

The cakes are premium. They also have cookies, brownies and other baked goods. So after tasting the red velvet cake, I have to say the cake was unfortunately disgusting. I've tasted home made cakes that taste better. Sorry guys, your deserts are cool though.

Perfect little bake shop for a treat. Purchased some cookies which were delicious! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Love the atmosphere as well.

Beautiful desserts, delicious treats, and friendly staff! This boutique bakery is not one to miss when in the area. I’ll definitely be going back again and again, for both myself and also to buy treats when I need to impress others!

Like their homemade pop tarts, they specialize in yummy and comforting old school treats but with a twist. And anytime I've been, their staff is also always super friendly! P.S. I would really recommend trying out their confetti cookie! Yummm. 😊 →Follow my food adventures on IG- @naheedzzz

BlogTo brought me here and I was not disappointed. Sparkling clean shop with friendly staff. The display was well maintained and clearly labeled. The carrot cake cupcake and the caramel square were delicious. I would definitely return.

This place makes the most magical treats. I love that they take classic naughty treats from when I was a kid but then make them with wonderful ingredients delicious feelings and love. This weekend they had their pop tarts at the Kitten and the Bear and they were magical. I got the box of six of them. Two of each flavour. The wild blueberry was mind blowing but another tasted like it might have been rhubarb pie and it was outstanding. If you ever have the chance to try their stuff you will not be disappointed

We like it so much we often order cupcakes instead of birthday cake. All good flavours. The scones are also excellent.

I actually bought a wedding cake a few years ago for a family bride but never had the chance to visit the store itself. So I FINALLY was able visit just the other day & specifically came for their Passion (today's was strawberry) Flakies, as they are only sold on weekend. I have been obsessing to try these for over a year now. In high school, I was addicted to the Vachon version, so happy they have made their own (sans chemicals) & am happy to report they deliver on light creamy jam deliciousness! Thank goodness I pre-order/paid as they were sold out the time we arrived. As I visited with my sister, we also tried the vanilla s'mores (which they lightly torched... extra Yum toasted flavour), small peanut cookie sandwich.

How could you not love this spot... they have Snoop Dog's face on a cookie. If that doesn't make you spin your head in their direction, I don't know what will. The interesting thing about this spot is that they're catering to every interest of the spectrum. Tongue in cheek humour that makes you laugh on a cookie... absolutely hilarious (I even think they do Drake lyrics). They also do custom cakes with intricate lace and beautiful flowers as well. Also, they have ICE CREAM! In general, it can be your all-purpose spot for sweets. Service here is really nice. I mean, best friends and long term neighbourhood bartender nice. I saw more than one person hug the staff here. That is not your normal run of mill factory store... it's a sign the store is integrated into the community at a personal level. As for atmosphere, it's cute, it's light, it's vibrant. You can't get any better than this spot. There is some stand up seating if you want to eat but it's mostly take out. Bourbon peach hand pie - This is NOT your pop tart... not even close. This is flakey light pie dough that is delicately wrapped and surrounding true to fruit jam. It just also happens to be flavoured with some bourbon. I did like how it wasn't a sugar bomb even with that glaze on top. It tasted mostly of lightly sweetened fresh peach and then this short burst of sweetness from the glaze. This isn't your momma's pop tart. This is your made from scratch grandma pop tart. 4/5 S'mores - Another item that is nostalgia on a plate except your camp fire s'mores have never had it this good. I've never really loved smores as a child but this upgraded version deserves to be loved. Unlike the stale and gummy weird smelling marshmallows from the bag, this one is a pillow of happiness... soft and bouncy, it is the perfect large blanket on top of the flavourful graham and smears of chocolate underneath. 4/5 I do find this bakery to be a wonderful hub for the neighbourhood. So many times people would pop in and just say hi as I was enjoying my treats. I can see why. In my short time here, I felt welcomed and invited to try the many different tastes and ideas. There's an obvious passion for making good desserts here.

My bae surprised me in May with an epic salted caramel cake for my birthday celebration from the Bake Shoppe - it was so so good! I decided to order a cake over the phone for my friend's birthday last month. The woman who took my order was super friendly and helpful - she made the process very easy. I paid half via credit card then the remainder in person when we picked up the cake. I opted for the double vanilla cake with a personalized topper. The birthday girl loved her cake and ended up taking the rest of it with her to the club to eat after a big night out haha. They also offer cookies with famous people on them (picture perfect for the 'gram!) along with other delicious baked goods in store. We also picked up an EPIC smores dessert when we grabbed the cake - chocolate, graham crackers, and toasted marshmallow goodness!! Love the wall of cakes they have as soon as you walk in. Be sure to stop in for a visit if you are in the hood!!

This is my go to cake shop. Super friendly staff and super delicious cakes! Everyone I buy them for loves it and I get questioned a lot about the cakes! Gorgeous on the outside and tasty on the inside. Really recommend! Oh, and the homemade pop tarts are a must try as well as the brown sugar Nutella cookie.

What an awesome place! The unique cakes on the wall, the display of pretty treats, the neon "Baked" sign and the dainty plates! It certainly is a great spot to visit for something sweet. I tried the ruffles marshmallow bar, the strawberry raspberry pop tart. The ruffles bar was a good combination of sweet and salty. It tastes exactly as you imagine it: like a rice krispies treat with chips instead! The pop tart was flakey and soft, and very sweet too. Some people may find the jam filling a bit too sweet but I think it was okay. I think I'd prefer it better if it was crispier like pie crust, so there'd be a greater contrast in texture. The lady behind the counter was nice and I got a free pin and the atmosphere was great - so overall I had a wonderful time here! Will visit again to try the brownie and the caramelita bar.

These Gals are geniuses I don't even need to say more... go...eat...and say thank you! Also don't forget to try their pop tarts and ruffles squares (yeah you heard right, now shut up and try them) because well...one can never have too much sweetness in their life Side note their cakes are pretty B.A. also. Just Sayin'

Ok the gourmet poptarts were so Boss. Strawberry lime basil??? Ur killing me. LOVED it. The ruffles marshmallow squares tasted exactly as you would expect and I didn't like em that much. The homemade smores was actualluy kinda cool tho. . They also have these sugar cookies with rappers on them which was really cool. I recommend this place.

Great cake, cupcakes and smaller desserts. The yeezy, drake cookies are even more awesome. I tried the Ferrero cake, which was so good! It wasn't dry and the frosting was delicious. The cakes are cold/ semi frozen when you purchase but the girl told me to allow it to thaw before eating. It was soooo good and fresh. The dulce de leche cupcake has amazing frosting! The ruffles square was DELICIOUS as was the Nutella cookie and berry pop tart. I would totally come here again!

Baker's been keeping her eye on three newish bakeries. One is a mom-and-pop business on the east end with scrumptious creations and zero pretension (The Sleepy Baker); another turns on my inner geek girl with their creative blend of fan culture and baked goods (Cakes Cove); and then we have this cool kid, all pretty and playful. You're killing it, Bake Shoppe. They've done really well with the rebranding (same location and owners of the Wedding Cake Shop). These ladies know taste, but they also have an eye for design and creative direction. Check out their IG: @bakeshoppeto. Good music, cute concepts (e.g. rap series cookies) and a touch of that Petra Collins & clan colour palette. The actual shop has a neon pink "Baked" sign (love my button!) and a modern mural. I feel some Milk Bar vibes, but this seems fresher and with more indie spirit at this point. So beyond cakes and cupcakes, what do they offer? A fun and contemporary take on nostalgic eats. They have pop tarts made with filling from Kitten and the Bear, S'mores bars toasted on the spot (fire in the disco: https://instagram.com/p/4HpIVPzGxl/); homemade passion flakies; Nutella stuffed brown butter cookies; funfetti goods galore etc... They even serve milk as one of their drink options. The ice-cream sandwich craze is still going strong in this city and their take involves pop tarts as the bread. That's basically a triple sandwich! These cool seeming ladies also currently have a stall at the lovely pop-up Club Monaco Market on Bloor Street (on until October) along with Parts & Labour, Phillips ice pops (tried one - watermelon, lime and salt - good, but overpriced, sorry), Sweet Woodruff (pretty flower business on Dundas W, I learned) and Boxcar Social. I tried a Ruffles marshmallow treat ($2).Yes, that's Ruffles potato chips subbed in for the usual Rice Krispies -- ingenious! What a delicious and balanced snack of fat, sugar and salt!!! 100% Pure Love.

I have only had the cupcakes here but I must say that they are doing everything right. The frosting is balanced and delicious. Not too sweet and with a pleasing soft texture. Not like other bakeries that have really gritty too saccharine frosting (may or may not rhyme with shmairie shmirl). They have also mastered moist cake. I want to try their other treats and we are planning on getting our wedding cake done here. We are super picky with our cakes and this is the first place to meet our standards. The 4 stars is because they only have 3 flavours and one is red velvet. I hate red velvet. But I imagine they do it well.

Their popularity is well deserved! Bake Shoppe has been with me through many occasions (birthdays, Valentine's Days, my engagement, friends' weddings, etc.) - everything they make is delicious & creative. From their custom cakes to the marshmallow ruffle squares, everything I've tried has been delicious. In addition, their customer service is fantastic & friendly.

Do yourself a favour and get yourself a pop tart at this place!!! Amazing!! At first I thought it wouldn't taste that good and I'm not a fan of those Pillsbury pop tarts.. but the ones here completely blew my mind. It's more a cake shop than anything so don't expect a huge selection of baked goods readily available.

This may very well be my favourite bakery in the city.In 2010, I had my wedding cake made by this place when it was still called Wedding Cake Shoppe. I had my son's first birthday cake made this last May too. I love their cupcakes especially the vanilla cake with passion fruit buttercream. Lately, we tried their baked goods from their Bloor street stand. Loved the Nutella cookie and the bars.

Their cakes are great and I really enjoyed their chocolate s'mores bar. There's a lot of hype around this cake because they print rapper faces on their cookies but it's really just an ordinary sugar cookie. Do opt for their cakes and other baked goods because they're so good and will fill up your sweet tooth

TREATS FOR MY MOUTH & EARS!!! Stepping in, the first thing you notice are the soft colors, the cool wall of cakes and the neon "Bake" sign beside some iconic Toronto graf! We were quickly greeted by one of the awesome staff. Shortly after sitting, our Americanos were brought to us. The perfectly brewed cups of coffee perfectly complimented the top notch pastries. I'll discuss each separately: The Vanilla cake slice was awesome. The ratio of sponge cake to icing was perfect! The three levels of thick sponge between smooth icing was definitely a treat. The chocolate brownie was great. The texture of the brownie wasn't dense and was suprisingly light! I'm a huge fan of brownies and this definitely satisfied my chocolate tooth! I'm officially a huge fan of Brown Butter Nutella cookies! It's a Nutella filled chocolate cookie ... just try one! For just over $2, you can't go wrong. Finally, the music the staff chose, in my humble opinion was on point! We walked in hearing Outkast and finished our treats to ATribe called Quest. I'm huge fan of 90's Hip Hop and it's clear that the staff is too! At the register, I noticed sugar cookies with Biggie, Missy Elliott and Drake. Off to the side on a separate display, an ODB sugar cookie smiled at me. This definitely made my day. Overall, I'd highly recommend Bake Shoppe! There was enough space for 4 or 5 pairs of people to sit and enjoy a wide range of desserts and enough variety to keep any sweet tooth satisfied. I'll definitely be back!

Beautiful cakes and bakery. Very chic interior. Had the s'mores bar with toasted marshmallow. S'mores lovers will definitely love it. Very sweet and filling though, one bar will be enough. Love the place overall!

Garbage. Walked in and asked for a Salted Caramel cake, which took like 20 minutes just to bring out from the kitchen, but that would have been negligible if the cake was any good. When we got home and had a slice, it was just terrible. The thick icing felt and tasted like chewing up unflavored plastic clay, and the cake itself was crazy dry, like a display cake that had been sitting out for weeks. We thought maybe we were just... bad at eating cake?? So we gave the rest of the cake to a friend in hopes it wouldn't go completely to waste, who promptly messaged us to confirm that it was too gross to eat. Have had WAY better cake from Metro and only got one from here because it seemed like a fancy indulgence, but all it amounted to was a total waste of money. Judging by some of the positive reviews, it seems like maybe we just got a dud, but that hardly seems worth risking when there plenty of stores with more consistent quality and friendlier service.

It's been so long since I have been here that the name has changed and they have many new items! I came for cupcakes and they were okay, but that Poptart... I don't like actual Poptarts, I never understood why so many kids did, but these grownup Poptarts... wow! The strawberry filling was so intensely flavourful, I wish I could buy a jar of it! The pastry light, tender and tasty, and the icing on top it necessary to make it look like a Poptart, but it was my least favourite part of the pastry. Also picked up cookies and pecan squares, which were good, but when I go back, it's going to be for more Poptarts.

The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because the staff that I dealt with when I went in store was extremely rude. They couldn't care less that I was in the store, and I even was with a friend. We were very excited to try the cookies we've heard so much about, and yet we were made to feel like we were wasting the precious time of the staff member we had dealt with. Other than that, the cookies and homemade pop tart was absolutely delicious. The food is a solid 5/5, but the service was appalling so for that, I probably won't go back again (in store, at least).

I really enjoy the goodies at the bake shoppe and it is turning into my go-to place for cakes. We really enjoy the poptarts filled with kitten and the bear jams. As well as the potato chips crispy. I've tried the smore and its good but very sweet. Xmas time we bought the cookies. Everything is good and I'd give it a 5 star but unfortunately it is quite pricey... So they lose a star for that. It's a nice treat every so often and when I'm in the area I like to stop in.

The food is amazing! The service was fast and they have a wide variety of unique baked goods that taste extremely fresh at a good price!

Note to Owner: please train your rude staff on costumer service !!!! Very rude staff ! When I walk in I feel like I'm bothering the staff when I'm selecting my treats. The owner is a very nice but her staff ( the ladies at the front ) are rude , and give you plenty of attitude.

POPTARTS nuff said! Their poptarts are SO good! Freshly baked, soft, delicious! It's the only thing I ever get from them! Mind you, I don't live close to their College & Ossington store but it's worth the trip. The shop itself is pretty small and you can tell that they make everything fresh since you can see people baking behind the counter. It is a little pricey ($4 for one poptart) so it's pretty much a treat for me that I have once in a while.

Love the homemade pop tarts and the caramelita bar. The ruffles marshmallow square was fun too. Didn't get the cupcakes, looked pretty standard.

i was really excited to order a cake from here because theyre so cool and pop culture relevant. so i got the drake cake for my bfs birthday. i emailed and they responded super quick and choosing the flavour i wanted was super easy and customizable. but when we got the cake she told me to leave it out to thaw-dont put it in the fridge...ok...so the cake was frozen? weird.. then when i took it home and cut it , the flavour was supposed to be ferrero rocher and none of us tasted that at all. the cake its self was moist and yummy but the cream filling was meh, not much flavour or even sugar. the outside buttercream was also weird..kind of plasticky and coated your mouth. i like their designs but for the flavour i was really disappointed. you can get yummier cakes from a local grocery shop or bakery instead of trekking here if you live out of the way like i did.

I've been looking forward to going to Bake Shoppe for a while now, since I follow them on Instagram and everything looked so delicious. While the desserts were good, the service was severely lacking. The girl behind the counter was uninterested and quite rude, and overall the attitude of all the staff was just very unwelcoming. Although I did like the smores brownie I tried, I doubt I will go back and same goes for the people I went there with. Not impressed at all.

I had the confetti cookie, the s'mores bar, and the caramelita bar and each one was baked perfectly, perfect texture, perfect buttery tastes, tasted exactly as described and absolutely amazing. Nostalgic flavours, really good.

Absolutely terrible service and very sparse selection. I called twice, at least 4 hours ahead of time, wanting to pick up half a dozen cupcakes and cookies. I specifically mentioned that I wanted a 'Happy Birthday' message written on one of the cookies - just as is advertised on their website - and was told that would be okay. Upon arriving, I had to wait a couple minutes before a very rude attendant came to the front and basically suggested that I was lying. Forget that there were only 2 flavours of cupcakes and cookies left, she also insisted that I must have misheard on the phone because I would need to order day(s) in advance just to have Happy Birthday be written on *one* cookie. After my insisting, she eventually did write the message but it was overall such a disheartening experience. The lady acted like she was doing me a huge favour, and despite my best efforts to keep the conversation cordial and wishing her a good day at the end, she slammed the register, gave me a dirty look and strode back to the kitchen. Experiences like this make me wonder if she would have treated me this way if I was white or if I had attended with white friends. Take your business elsewhere.

Ohmygoodness, everything I've had here has been so so so delicious, from the cookies to the poptarts to the squares, my mouth is always happy. The staff are super friendly and the prices are spot on! They also have a pop up shop in Yorkville this summer! I'm planning on getting my boyfriend a cake for his birthday from here, they will write literally whatever you want on it. I wish I could rate this higher than five stars!

Not only was their cake beautiful and the happy bday sign hilarious but it tasted magnificent. Not too sweet and the icing to cake ratio was right on point.

A couple of days ago I came to the Bake Shoppe to get a bday cake for my fiance. I came around noon, picked the flavor and wrote the text for the inscription and left the cake at the shop to be picked in the evening. When I came in the evening, I was given the cake with no inscription and was told that for some reason they forgot to do it and at that time there was nobody at the store who could write it on the cake. Needless to say, I was upset, the cake is more than just filling and frosting, its an experience. I planned to present it at a surprise party with candles and the whole point of getting it from a specialized bakery and not some grocery store was really the customized experience. I barely got any apology from the store attendant and no offer of compensation of any sort. She wrote the inscription with a black marker on a piece of plastic and stuck in on top of the cake. $34 completely wasted. Will never trust this place again.

R.U.D.E. If you want to be treated poorly do come here. As other reviewers have similarly noted, customer service is seriously lacking here. Product is just ok, nothing to write home about. There are many other options in the city. (previously named "The Wedding Cake Shoppe")

Can't stop thinking about this place! The desserts are AMAZING! I went for the s'mores bar, which was amazing, but fell madly in love with the chocolate caramel square - one of the best things I've tasted in my life. Can't wait to go back for more!

Cupcakes to die for! Can't wait to go back and try everything on their menu! Great people great service I definitely recommend this place to any one who likes sweets this place is a must!!

This place has a great selection of nostalgic desserts and adorable cakes. Their cupcakes are my favourite in the city. I highly recommend their brown butter cookies. Good service.
