Brick & Butter Bakehouse

My second time here. 4.5/5 Coffee is great - really enjoyable. Overall prices are very reasonable and food is great quality. I’ve had many of the desserts so far and none were disappointing. while some things weren’t my favourite due to preference, all was very well made. I’ve had: pistachio babka (excellent) spicy focaccia mushroom pastry black sesame croissant (and others I cannot presently recall) worth a trip, and with a few seats, I really enjoy.

The best almond croissant I’ve ever had was from this bakery! The mushroom Alfredo was delicious as well, I would definitely come back for those. We had a small lemon yuzu loaft which wasn’t too sweet. Highly recommend if you want super fresh baked goods and the customer service was amazing!

I’ve seen so much hype on social media that I knew I needed to try it once at least. It’s a small place to sir down and have your coffee. Pretty clean and quiet. Now for what we ordered we had: Iced mocha: really good blend of coffee and chocolate. Was not too sweet and very rich and indulgent. Lots of ice. Would be getting it again but it’s not a unique drink that you cant get somewhere else. (4/5 stars) Iced strawberry matcha latte: it was rich matcha without it being bitter, not a sweet drink. Had strawberry pure and had lots of ice. From all the iced strawberry matcha that I’ve tried I think it’s the best one I’ve had. However I would not get it again just because of the $2 difference between the normal matcha latte and this one. I feel the strawberries don’t justify the price. (4/5 stars) Matcha croissant with red bean cream: We ordered this one because it had overwhelmingly good reviews online. However, it sadly disappointed us. PROS: The size is big for the price you are paying. It is also very filling and its not too sweet so I think it would pair well with their drinks as they are not sweet as well. Very rich butter flavour. CONS: There’s no matcha flavour, and no red bean flavour at all in the croissant and the cream. I tried having them separate and together and didn’t taste like much both ways. From all the matcha pastries I’ve had in Toronto this one is the most disappointing one I have ever had. The red bean cream is there, theres a lot of it inside but is lacking that red bean flavor as well. If you love matcha as much as I do, do not get it. Extremely disappointing. (2/5 stars) Mushroom Alfredo pastry: it was good, not too salty or oily. Mushroom was really good, alfredo sauce was barely there. Croissant is good, goes well with the mushrooms. (3.5/5 stars) Pistachio babka: I think this one was the best thing we got from the store. Around $15 can feed two people. The flavour is good, pistachio but not overpowering and very natural flavour, not overly sweet. It seems that they do like a pistachio paste and put it on the baked good. From everything we got we think we might get it again. Really good when its still warm. (4.5/5 stars)

Their mochi is excellent. I should say that it is irresistible. Also, their Matcha Latte is excellent. They made it buy real Matcha power with fresh milk. Also we can chose nobsuger for it. The coffee is great too. Good small coffee shop with excellent cakes and mochi.

The pastries at Brick & Butter Bakehouse were good. The Black Sesame Croissant, Almond Croissant and Chocolate Croissant were all good and delicious. The Pistachio Babka and Chocolate Babka were fresh, soft and delicious. The Cortado was okay. It’s more on the acidic side. The Matcha Latte was good. It was mostly smooth.

Each type of croissant you get here gives off a different texture. But all buttery and flaky still. Got three items here as my first time. Got the black sesame croissant, walnut and red bean croissant and the milk cream croissant. The black sesame had a heaping mound of toasted black sesame paste on top that was most likely baked with the croissant. Nice good layer of black sesame paste inside giving you that black sesame taste throughout. The walnut and red bean was very unique. Love the exterior of the croissant which looks like a piece of art. Crispy lines of pastry and then the buttery insides of the croissant. The milk cream croissant was the most expensive one of them all but had the most amazing amount of cream filling just bursting out once you get into it. Service was good. Nothing bad to note and nothing outstanding. Got my order quickly and with no issues. Parking can be a real nuisance which is the one drawback to this spot. There is a green p lot just across the street behind the shoppers at Yonge and finch. Would recommend getting the green p app and paying through there as it’s the most convenient. Other than that any street parking is usually taken up very quickly. Great job overall

I tried the famous Korean dessert “두쫀쿠“ and it was really good! I’m glad that my first try was from this spot. It was so popular that many ppl lined up to get them. Only disappointment was that my favourite strawberry cream croissant - they changed the recipe, it used to be only fresh cream with strawberries but they now added custard cream 🤢 why?!!! Such a downgrade move. If it’s the cost issue then don’t add custard cream but reduce the fresh cream amount. I hope they bring back original recipe.

A small bakery shop North York, one block west and north of Yonge street right on finch. This place has fancy bakery items! They are so good by far the best in entire north York. I do not drink coffee so I review their drinks by matcha latte- their matcha is high quality and barista great skills. All the early bird - Above all hear this - this place open 8 am daily week day and 9 pm Sunday!!!! - for those familar with this neighborhood nothing open till 10am except star bulks now I have place to go in the early morning!!!’ 😻😻😻😻
