Tori's Bakeshop

Nice atmosphere and service, but inedible gluten free pastries. As someone who has tried the majority of gluten free bakeries in Toronto and countless storebought goods, it’s ludicrous that this bakery is charging $5.93 for a single black forest cupcake. The cupcake had a weird texture, it was like munching on uncooked quinoa in between cake crumb. The frosting was overwhelmingly sweet and not creamy at all. I’ve had plenty of good vegan frosting at other bakeries—this was not it. There was very little cherry filling and it should have been a jam-like consistency, instead I think they just soaked dried cherries in sugar syrup. Not to mention the black forest cupcake is a “seasonal” flavor which is how the bakery justifies an extra $0.75 surcharge. Last I checked, dried cherries are available year-round so I’m confused and you should be too.

You'd also be hard-pressed to guess that these treats are completely vegan that kind of reminds me of childhood birthday parties with their chocolate and vanilla cupcakes and donuts.

My latest discovery on Queen street East. The bakeshop has an unassuming front entrance and is easy to miss - I am so happy I found it. A beautiful and subtly decorated interior feels very cozy, I loved the colour theme - subdued mint/green (with matching "for here" cups!). the counter display is a feast for eyes (and stomach of course!) - I tried a savoury hand pie (with mushroom/lentils filling) and it was absolutely delicious (warmed up). I can't wait for my next visit at the store. Besides the baked goods there is an espresso bar, pressed juices and a good selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. All food is vegan.

Are you looking for some sweet treats that are dairy free, and fully vegan well Tori’s Bake Shop in The Beaches will not only fulfill your cravings, but want you going for more. The staff is amazing. The shop features positive, upbeat vibes. Anything you can do Tori can do Vegan. Plant based dairy has come a long way and Tori’s bakery aims to impress. Best part, no animals were harmed in the making.

This is my wife's favourite bake shop. This review is about delivery especially local delivery in Toronto. I ordered a custom birthday cake for her birthday not only did it not arrive when I followed up custom service was abysmal. They refused to do a refund even after I sent proof it was not delivered. My advice do not order online from them because if anything happens to the delivery they will not refund or attempt another delivery. I had to go through my credit card for refund.

On a wet and chilly November day like today, coming upon a place like this is literal heaven on earth! As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with the aroma of freshly baked desserts and brewed coffee! I got their lavender London fog and brownie cupcake! Can't wait to pass by again!

Located in the beaches on the corner of Queen and Balsam. There is on street parking out front and also on the side streets. Very friendly crew and great products. Grabbed an assorted. Box of pastries to enjoy and could not be any happier. They have both regular and gluten free goods for all to enjoy with their large selection of beverages. Will definitely swing by more often to sample their other goodies

Plant based bakery offering a variety of sweet and savoury goods. - Potato Focaccia: A bit dry, nice caramelized onion undertone, good density and a bit on the greasy side. - Savoury Scone: could not taste the sun dried tomato but lovely flavour overall. - Peach tart: sweet and good but not enough filling and too much pastry. - Cinnamon bun: excellent, very good. - Butter tart: a bit plain and dry, nice sweetness though. - BLT Sandwich: very good flavour but WAY too greasy because of the coconut bacon. The pesto is wonderful though. Service is friendly and helpful.

A very cute little cafe/bakery! They have a good selection of gluten free and non gluten free pastries. I loved the gluten free dark chocolate salted donut. The strawberry smoothie was filling and good with a subtle sweetness. My partner loved the americano and the cinnabun. Would be a nice nook to come and read or do some work.

I recently purchased on of their pumpkin pies available at Eatly and loved their vegan pie. Pumpkin filling was moist and had the right amount of spice. The pie crust seemed a bit too pale and would've tasted better if more golden brown. I will try their other pies and this cafe bakery shop.

Service was pretty top notch when I went! Friendly, helpful, effective and understanding. I picked up a delicious hand pie... empanada. It was STUFFED! Absolutely delicious, the way an empanada oughtta be. Having the experience from another cafe, in Etobicoke be less than up to par re., their empanadas, Tori's bakeshop realy was stellar. I also had specifically gone to purchase a specialty choclate spread by these amazingly talented chocolatiers out of Quebec. So, so, so, so good. Easily consumable by the spoonful. I didnt stay, although the seats by the windows were occupied. They have a larger communal table upstairs as well for dine-in. Seems like a cozy spot in the Beaches Community to share a coffee/tea and a lil somethin' somethin' with a friend. To have an afternoon fly by while reading your favourite book, or to pump out those final paragraphs on an essay due. Either way Tori's Bakeshop has me sold!

We picked up Some vegan goodies here. I was expecting the icing to be made from coconut cream, but I think it might be vegetable shortening. The cupcakes are a little dense, but the back Forrest one has some cherry filling, and a fresh cherry topping. Overall a good place to get something sweet.

Delicious lunch today of empanada and healthy ginger drink. Yum! Thank you. Great music and ambiance.

Baked goods are great. The cream cheese is incredible. Really glad this place exists.

Take your business elsewhere! I was looking forward to try this place today while on my morning walk. The AA girl working had major attitude and when I asked for a bag for the two boxed items I purchased since I'm walking home she rudely handed me the paper bag... I've never been to an unfriendly bakery in my life. I even tipped and was treated like crap. Laughable waste of $ experience tbh. Will never give them another cent. Adios.

I would definitely give 5 stars 1 for the interiors 1 for coffee 1 for their baked goods variety 1 for the special 'kruffin' Lastly the customer service It was a pleasure from the time I entered and throughout it was very good including the ambience + food + service and most importantly neatness. They really maintain this place very well.. even when they are a bit empty The staff try and keep themselves busy and that's why they are the best cafe in the beaches Will come back here again sometime soon :)

Appreciate the juices they carry and the baked goods I can purchase for friends w allergies

I first visited Tori's Bakeshop well before I was on Yelp. My dear friend, who is vegan, has meant to visit this store. I have a weakness for baked goods and desserts. I ended up dropping by this store in our old neighbourhood well before she did! The first time I was there, I ordered a six-pack of cupcakes. I remember losing myself in the lemon vanilla cupcakes. They were moist and yummy. They weren't overly sweet, which I appreciated. I also got chocolate ones. They were decadent. The next time I was there, it was summer. I tried the chocolate vegan ice cream. It was so creamy and fragrant with coconut in it. Yum! I took a photo on Instagram. To my delight, Tori's Bakeshop loved the photo so much that it reposted it on its feed. I also got the cream egg, which comes just in time for Easter. For those who are vegan or lactose-intolerant, this egg is even better than the regular Cadbury eggs that you get at the drug store. So good! I have also indulged in Tori's cinnamon bun. It's the perfect size to get your cinnamon sweet fix. There is nothing at this store that I don't like. Staff are helpful in letting you know what's available and the ingredients that are in their products. The quality of their goodies are stellar. I love this place. Prices are more expensive than typical bakeries. So, be prepared to pay a little more for quality baked goods. This store also has sandwiches and beverages. It's definitely more than just dessert. Parking can get hectic. I have been lucky to get parking right outside the store. There are plenty of side streets, so you're good. (99)

I got the dark chocolate donuts at the Farmboy location because they called out to me each time I passed by and I've heard great reviews about Tori's. I was a bit disappointed, unfortunately because while the taste was good and they were fresh, the texture was a lot more chewy and soft than I expected. I know it's because of the rice flour but other vegan donut options don't have such a chewy texture to the point where it stuck on my teeth ! Maybe their other products are better,

Great for allergies. Treats are tasty. My only complaint Is the portions are very small for the price, however I understand almond flour and such are expensive.

I came to Tori's bakeshop with some friends and it was packed. The seating is first come first serve, which makes it slightly difficult with a large group. However, I used my awesome negotiation skills to ask a table of two if they could switch tables with my two friends so we could have their table that would fit up to 5 people. Once we all were seated we began to place our orders. To order you walk up to the bakery, wait in line and decide which goodies you would like to try. All of my friends said their lunches and/or desserts were fantastic! Two of my friends had the item that looked like a pizza and they both said it was great! Another friend had a muffin and latte and she said it was really good too! I ordered the cauliflower soup of the day and it was really good. I found it a little bit salty but the crackers that came with it were to die for. I also purchased a mocha latte and 6 desserts to take home and freeze. Well, one was for that evening. All of the baked goods at Tori's are vegan (lactose free). In addition to this splendid news, half of the baked goods featured in the counter were also gluten free. This literally put me into dessert heaven. The cupcake that I tried the first night was a chocolate chip cupcake. The frosting tasted just like cookie dough batter. It was amazing! The cupcake was slightly dry but that could be because I left it in the fridge until the evening. The other desserts that I purchased (all from the gluten free selection) included a vanilla donut, a chocolate donut with sea salt, a chocolate cupcake with a mini donut on top and lots of frosting, a lemon cupcake and an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. I wrapped all of these individually and froze them for later consumption. After trying all the desserts over the course of a month, here are my reviews: April 5: I tried the chocolate donut and it was the best donut I have had since discovering I'm gluten and lactose intolerant. I highly recommend this donut! April 14: I tried the lemon cupcake and it was really good. It wasn't as good as the chocolate donut but it was really nice. The lemon flavour was fantastic but I found the cupcake a bit sweet for the lemon flavour. If it was less sweet, I may have liked it more. April 18: I tried the chocolate cupcake with the donut on top. The cupcake was just average (nothing special) but the mini donut on top was to die for. It reminded me how delicious their donuts are and that I'll have to go back and buy more to freeze once I try all of my goodies. April 29: I just tried the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and I really wasn't impressed. The cookie either had this awful taste or it was too sweet. I want to say the dough wasn't blended evenly during preparation and the oatmeal or whatever "flour" they used just had a horrible flavour. I definitely won't be buying this cookie again. May 1: I tried the white donut with pink frosting. It was okay but the chocolate donut was much better. The donut had that weird flavour that the cookie had. It was really sweet during some bites and and not so great with others. The Verdict I will definitely go back to purchase Tori's gluten free chocolate donut and the chocolate chip cupcake (the frosting was out of this world). My third choice would be the chocolate cupcake with a mini donut on top. Would I return to Tori's bakeshop? Definitely! I might go to buy desserts for my birthday or some other event. I'm not sure I would plan an event there since seating is first come first serve and it's a little out of the way. Allover I am very happy I discovered Tori's Bakeshop.

Who knew organic, gluten free, vegan food could taste oh so delicious? Now don't get me wrong, I'm a die hard carnivore that also loves her carbs; but I'm also a foodie adventurer who is willing try anything once. Tori's Bakeshop had great reviews, high ratings AND is located in the picturesque Beaches neighborhood. What clinched it for me was watching Tori's video on her website (http://torisbakeshop.ca/about.html); the passion she and her staff share about food and the business is amazing! Such an adorable eatery with flowerboxes out front, two comfortable tables with a bay window, tables for twosies along the wall and a small loft where you can people watch. All the desserts look tempting and the food very appealing. My friend and I chose the following: - "B"LT sandwich with hickory smoked "bacon" (coconut flakes), lettuce, tomato and house mayo on organic whole grain bread. Great flavor! - Falafel + grilled veggie sandwich with an herbed chickpea falafel, grilled eggplant, grilled zucchini on an organic flat bread. Good but I liked the BLT better. - Cruffin which is croissant dough rolled in butter and sugar baked in a muffin tin, filled with decadent chocolate fudge and topped with cream cheese frosting. It tastes as good as it sounds: easily my favorite dessert of the day! - One regular and one gluten free cookies and cream cupcake. There is a difference in taste and texture if you try them side by side but they both would satisfy a sweet tooth. When it comes down to taste, I definitely preferred the regular cupcake; however, the gluten free cupcake was just as moist and light as the regular one. - Cinnamon roll - it was ok, pretty big in size. It's good to know that eating healthy can still be very tasty.

I'll be frank, I did not know this place was vegan until I asked for milk for my coffee, and was told they only have dairy free alternatives. The location is great, close to the beach. The ambience is cozy and inviting. But ultimately, I felt that objectively the apple caramel donut and vanilla cupcake were underwhelming. I think if you are vegan, you might enjoy it, but if you are not vegan, be prepared to be disappointed (at least the donut and cupcakes we had).

In 2016, I would've given Tori's 5 stars -- the paté with sauerkraut sandwich was delicious and had lettuce, pickle, sauerkraut, mustard and plenty of paté. this year, we had our latest sandwich and there was no pickle, the mustard was so skimpy that I wasn't sure if it was really there, and the dry-ish bread made up the bulk of the sandwich instead of the filling. the croque last summer every time was exceptional with melt-in-your-mouth GF bread, a soft faux-egg, fried greens, fried onions and avocado. it was loaded! this summer we tried it twice, once at both locations. both times the bread was dry and chewy and there was only the faux-egg with about 1/2 tsp of avocado spread on the bread so you'd easily miss it. so disappointing. We asked what the soup was at the beaches location after driving there only to be told "we've been out of soup for 2 days". my immediate thought was, "well, do you have a pot?". I mean, 3 sad-looking sandwiches in the case and no soup? The awesome grilled veg tapenade sandwich is gone, as is the tempeh mock tuna which turned me on to Tori's in the first place. The less clean, utterly predictable faux-BLT remains, but it's not something I would get again. There's no online menu, no in-store flyer menu and they serve 3 different sandwiches at the Canary location (with seemingly embarrassed staff apologizing for the slim pickings) and 4 sandwiches at the beaches location (unless they run out, because they can't make more). Such a great concept, I'd love to see Tori's succeed with the items that made me love them in the first place, and by having proper materials out so consumers can see what they offer. Pics of sweets on their website are not enough. Spending hours trying to find out when the canary location would open and what the correct times + days were should not be a hassle for the customer, but it took me hours. At this point I would not return, which is too bad since I've gone 10+ times within 2 weeks this summer and last, and my gf came from California specifically looking forward to Tori's, even taking my mom there once. Now she's as jaded as I am. I've referred many customers, but I can no longer do that unless things change. update: the owner told me that they now make the bread off-site and have it delivered to the 2 locations. This explains why the freshness is gone. They've expanded aster than quality control could keep up.

Take out Cupcakes review, 3 flavors, 6 cupcakes. Once ambience is isolated and it's just the cupcake, I found the cupcake didn't stand up to the hype. Please note I really like the cafe, organic food concept and am sure all baked goods are made here lovingly and all with superior natural ingredients. But if you are simply looking for a good cupcake fix and and non vegan then this place is ok and more pricey than Prairie Girl/Bobette & Belle for examples. 5* on presentation, a mini donut on a cupcakes?! YES please! A rainbow swirl of icing as if this cupcake was made for a unicorn, WOW I gotta have it or 6 of it... 3* The cake itself is very moist but not as light as a typical cupcake, almost had the weight and texture of a pound cake at Starbucks 2.5* Frosting. This is my make or break decision. I know it's vegan, and I love how close it came but my bias taste is for buttercream, and Italian or Swiss meringue butter cream at that. So based on this, you let me down cupcake. I ate all 5..but my heart and stomach was not satisfied

I'm always on the hunt for delicious gluten free baked goods. Since they can often be very challenging to make, I'm always impressed when a gluten free version that isn't chalked full of sugar is found. That said, I decided to try the gluten free butter tart and had to give the Homer Simpson donut a go. I will preface that I'm not a big donut fan in general. I would say if you like a cake like donut, you would probably enjoy this one. It wasn't a fav for me. The butter tart was also a little disappointing. I was expecting the centre to be gooey and runny - didn't happen. It was rather dry. What I did like was it wasn't over sweetened. I will say the staff were friendly and inviting and the place is very nicely decorated and clean. I'll end with saying I'm usually a cookie fan, so I'll still have to give one or two of theirs a go at some point and see if that shifts my overall rating.

Oh my my.... This place was on my list of destinations while in town and it was totally worth the drive to the beaches area! (Plus we got to see a lot of cool stuff in this neighborhood which we might have missed if Tori's hadn't caught my eye on Yelp!) All vegan and all amazing! Cutest cupcakes with mini donut toppers, both so moist and delicious... And the cinnamon roll was the best we've ever had! Really, not to missed, also is the sandwich! They make the crumpet and ours was stuffed with tofu scramble, cartelized onions, greens... So good! Cute and friendly staff too!

Contrary to all the positive reviews here. I would like to give this place the lowest rating allowed by Yelp. The good reviews can be attributed to the special dietary restrictions that this place offers i.e. dairy free etc. but the way items are stored here I would suggest people stay away. The desserts though look good in the display area were surrounded by bugs/fruit flies and even though we pointed it out to the sales person there was disdain and so what attitude! seriously I am OK with gluten free/dairy free or whatever else the tree huggers, hipsters are into these days but I don't want my proteins from bugs! At least not till its absolutely necessary. I am sure their fans will keep them busy but I will not be back. Coffee drinks we tried were OK.

Tori's interior was so peaceful, and their staff so inviting! I took a bite of their mixed berry vegan cupcake and fell in love instantly. The berry compote inside was also a lovely surprise. I was so impressed I bought another one (and a grapefruit cupcake) home!

5 stars for their amazing cupcakes I am in so so so much love with them. I got an assortment of flavours from their strawberry rhubarb to their chocolate fudge. These desiccant treats are an absolute treat to my mouth. Not overly sweet and no artificial flavours. All I taste is pure, fresh ingredients that were hand crafted to perfection. This is especially apparent in their fruit icings. The flavours popped in the icing and in the centre of the cupcake. The quality of the cupcakes I bought are easily one of the best in toronto. Tori's has already become one of my favourites in the city after only sampling their cupcakes. When I make another trip down I will be sure to get a dozen cupcakes and a box of new baked goodies I have yet to try. Simply an amazing bakeshop.

Easily one of the best DONUTS I've ever consumed... Plus it's a reasonable size, didn't regret it or feel gross afterwards.. Flat white was good, not great. Used soy milk, tasted bad. I understand now they don't have dairy, explains that! I guess I just find soy gross. Maybe you will love soy!

Great, especially if you're looking for quality baking but are on a vegan or Gluten Free diet! Hard to find such great baked goods in those categories!

I gave Tori's another chance after my review over a year ago. It won't change. One star. $6.40 for a donut and small black coffee. The coffee was good. Above average. But the donut. The donut is still terrible. It can be described as "like chewing flour". It is so wrong on many levels. There is no positive attribute. The icing is just sticky sugar. Other than extremely sweet, it has no flavour. It was dyed a purple colour so I thought it might be blueberry or raspberry flavoured. I was going to throw it out the window but thought better. What if a poor animal ate it?

I am on the hunt for cafes in Toronto and Tori's Bakeshop did not disappoint at all. I've never been to The Beaches in Toronto and I loved how this was the first spot to super welcome me to the area. I just had a coffee and it was decently priced for what I've been paying so far. I'm still at that point in my coffee journey where I am not that good at telling the difference between *good quality coffees*, but I liked it. The most important factor in a coffee shop (for me) is the environment and Tori's Bakeshop was a really productive environment. It was cute, the seating is a little bit limited, but I loved how decor. If I were to come back to the Beaches again, I would definitely drop by Tori's Bakeshop.

Gluten free bake shop, cinnamon buns are delicious! Grab a treat and head down to the beach, so relaxing

Tori's bake shop is a new discovery for my new gluten free diet, it has been a difficult few weeks looking at cakes but not being able to eat any! It is definitely an upscale and pricey alternative to a regular bake shop! The decor is nice and there is only two seats with sofas and they include a sign, warning that the sofa seats are for bigger groups and that if you are 1-2 people, the seats were not made for you! I thought this was a bit snobby which is why I took off a star. As much as you can tell people where to sit, you should not outright put a sign on the table indicating the obvious. As for the cupcake I have been craving for. It was a little dry but tasted amazing compared to the cupcake empty life i have been living. Moving on I think I can find a much better bake shop without the snobby hipster attitude.

In short: Nice variety of Gluten-free vegan sandwiches near "the beaches" BUT lacking in their selection of other gluten-free bakeries (with selection that do exist having a mediocre taste). Poor service. & a previous history with false marketing on social media. As a celiac this store was a gem to eat sandwiches at. If you are feeling a interesting combination of items on delicious gluten-free bread, this place is for you. However, let me warn you about the two problems of this establishment, and the reasoning behind my low rating... The awful service and misleading marketing. The Service: Every-time I've walked in to the store & the dark haired Australian lady is at the counter I've learnt to walk out. The snottiness & "higher than thou" attitude puts a downer on my meal. Not only has she ignore myself & other customers, multiple times to talk to those she deems on her level. Misleading Marketing: This is an issue I've noticed prior to ever attending their cafe. On their social media they like to boost about their variety of gluten free & vegan options. Although I assume all items there are vegan, beware that not all is gluten free. Disappointment ensues when you realize that they do not offer the most appealing of their parties as gluten free, & that their selection consists mainly of cupcakes & donuts (which you can find at most gluten-free bakeries in the city, with a much better taste!).

If I could afford to come here every day I would! Tori's has the best and most unique baked goods! Everything is gluten free and so delicious. My personal favourite is the zucchini muffin! The coffee is also very good too! The staff are friendly and I always admire the music playing. The cafe itself is very cute, but limited seating which is a shame because it's usually busy every day of the week!

So it's the first day Tori's Bakeshop is open, so maybe it's premature to review them... but I can't help it. Yelp must know about a new vegan & gluten free friendly bakery. It took me about 40 minutes on the Queen streetcar to get here after work... but it was worth it. Since it was the end of the day, they had already run out of many of their sweet baked treats (even after apparently baking 3 day's worth of things) but I grabbed a vanilla cupcake with butter cream frosting, a delicious chocolate chip cookie, and a gluten free butter tart (and a non gluten free butter tart). They were all delicious. The cupcake was spongy and fluffy, the icing sweet, whipped, and not stiff at all. I was especially partial to the GF butter tart. Friendly service, and great interior design. I loved the overhead lights - they're freaking lamps made from giant beaters, plus every table had fresh flowers on it. One word sums this place up - adorable. (In two words - adorably delicious.) I love the random jars with stuff in it aesthetic. Lots of greens and neutral tones. Also - wifi.Free functional wifi. There are outlets all over the place if you look for them (one main one that I know of is right at the front corner with the comfy seating. Yes. Golly I wish this was closer to parkdale/trinity-bellwoods - though odds are, I'll be back really really soon.

A beautiful little bakeshop. I just wish it wasn't so far from my house! Toronto is so lucky to have all these vegan and natural bakeries popping up. Tori's isn't obviously a vegan bakery. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the people who go there haven't a clue that these baked goods are vegan and in some cases, gluten-free. I love what they've done with this place. The decor is adorable! The industrial whisk lighting reminds me of Vincent Price's bakery in Edward Scissorhands, except much, much cuter. There's a little staircase in the back leading to a bar seating area with windows to the bakery at the back, so you can peak in on treats being made. When I visited Tori's, late on a Sunday there was a small line-up inside of folks clamouring for goodies and espresso. They have a shiny new Elektra machine. Many bakery items were sold-out but I still managed to get a caramel-filled chocolate, donut holes, a homemade 'Oh Henry' bar and a spelt chocolate-chuck cookie. It was all delicious, but the caramel chocolate really stood out. I'm hooked! I spoke with Tori and she was super friendly and nice. I wish her the best with this bakery and regret she did not open it in West Toronto. The Beach is practically Scarberia for me, but I will definitely go out of my way to come back here.

I visited Tori's on a Saturday morning. It wasn't very busy and I didn't need to wait. I ordered a chocolate chip cookie, oatmeal chocolate cookie, parsley and cheddar scone and a cup of tea. I brought the baked goods home and ate it the next day. It was alright. I found the cookies weren't very sweet. Maybe it's because I had an iced capp earlier in the day? Both cookies were very chocolatey though. I'm glad I have the option of going to a vegan bakery but since I'm not vegan, I probably won't be back. It was a nice visit. The staff were very polite and the service was quick. But I can get more delicious baked goods at any other place.

Amazing deserts, the best gluten free cupcake I've ever had, better than most regular cupcakes

Lovely little cafe. You'll find amazing soy/coconut lattes

This was such a cute little cafe on Queen St. It has about half a dozen tables inside and a few outside. Ir's bright and airy and charming. We were looking for Vegan fare . Surprisingly, Queen East is short on this but Tori's is fantastic. I had the breakfast sandwich( premade) and my husband had a falafel sandwich. They were both good and I was just happy everything was Vegan and I didn't have to think about. I also tried their cookies. Very nice.

Tori's Bakeshop has made two very unique birthday cakes for our house and both were amazing. Mine was gluten-free, large enough to host 40 people + leftovers, and beautifully decorated even though they don't advertise as cake decorators. His was a delicious stack of maple cakes to look like a stack of pancakes for a Sunday afternoon birthday brunch. Not to mention their regular selection of treats are flavourful and tasty, especially the gluten-free fare which is really hard to come by. My final favourite, their Pumpkin Pour in the fall! Real pumpkin puree in either tea lattes or coffee. They are so delicious I just wish the cup was bigger so it would last longer. Not to mention, the interior is really cute and comfortable to hang out for a little bit. There are always a few people sitting there, either working or chatting with friends.

It's nice to have a vegan bakery in the east end! Most of the vegan places I am aware of are in the core. Its nice that this place is a hop and a skip away. I have come here several times for sandwiches, baked goods and coffee. The Sammie's are good and they have a decent selection to choose from. I have had their BLT which was quite yummy. I have also ordered their cupcakes as a treat and was quite happy with them. They are a tad on the expensive side, much smaller and not as pretty as some other vegan bakeries I have been to in the city. But they sure are delicious. A friend who was not vegan came with me and ordered a scone for breakfast. He devoured it and was quite impressed that it was vegan. Overall, I had a good experience...the staff was friendly, service was good and the food was tasty!

Beautiful interior, great food but coffee could be better. I tried the eggplant pizza pocket and was floored at how good the gooey pastry was. Also ordered my bday cake from them, wasn't cheap but was delicious! The coconut lavender tea latte was watery and so was the cappuccino with coconut milk. Maybe they can start using actual cooking coconut milk vs the very bland carton ones.

I haven't wrote a review in a while...mainly because I haven't tried anything new lately that made me want to write a review. Then along came toris.... First of all, I am a self proclaimed dessert snob. I love my desserts and pastries. When I found out my newborns tummy was sensitive to anything dairy that I was consuming, I was devasted. I had to cut out all dairy from my diet. I convinced my husband to drive me to toris since I was craving some sweets. Honestly, when I walked into the bakery I could hear the angels singing. Inside was gorgeous, the staff were friendly and the pastries looked divine! I ordered the chocolate chip cookie, chocolate croissant, cookies and cream cupcake, chocolate cupcake, vanilla cupcake, and berry cupcake and the Chocolate cheesecake cupcake. Chocolate chip cookie - 5/5 - I make pretty bomb chocolate cookies (using butter though) and I got to say these were butter. They were the perfect texture...not too soft..not to crunchy. And the sweetness was spot on! Chocolate croissant- 5/5 - I have very high standards for chocolate croissants because I've gotten the best from epi breads. I got to say, I did not miss the butter at all These were amazing! The cupcakes - 4.5/5 - best cupcakes ever (even conpared to other cupcakes elsewhere with dairy in them) you must try the berry cupcake...I almost didn't order it..but I'm so happy I did. Incredibly most and flavorful. All the cupcakes were amazing..even the chocolate cheesecake. My least favorite was the vanilla just because I was not fond of the donut on top. Overall, toris...you blew my mind! I will be back again. For sure by Wednesday lol

good food, good drinks, friendly staff, i went in the winter but i found it a bit to hot in there i was sweating and my jacket was off. i wish they had a rewards system for their more frequent customers, but i like that their products are available at local resellers.

I love, love, love this spot! Lovely staff, great coffee, and delightful baked goods. The gluten-free brownie is so chocolatey and moist and my all-time favourite. (I have no issue with gluten but it so happens that I like the no gluten version better than the regular one.) The cinnamon buns are the best I found in Toronto so far. If you're in the Beaches area, make sure to get yourself a coffee and a sweet treat from Tori's and go for a nice long walk along the water.

You will definitely catch me here again. It's a super cute bake shop/coffee shop that's all vegan. I had the chocolate cupcake with a mini donut on top and the mocha latte. The cupcake was really good and it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. The mocha latte was like any average café. I would come back to try their "B".L.T as it sounds delicious. Add this place to your list if you love taking food pictures. It definitely has the aesthetics.

After hearing a seemingly endless amount of good things, I made the trip to Tori's Bakeshop this past weekend to indulge my sweet tooth. The vibe in the bakeshop is super relaxed and cute. I could definitely see myself whiling away the hours with a good book, coffee, and a delicious treat in the softly lit and cozy bakery. I admit, I got so excited and overwhelmed by delicious looking choices that I forgot to double-check that the treat I purchased was gluten free! That being said, I'm not celiac and my GF lifestyle is by choice, so even if it was wheat-based I wasn't about to die from enjoying one of the cutest cupcakes I have ever seen. A mini Simpsons-esque doughnut on top of a cupcake! You're killing me with cuteness, Tori! All parts of the cupcake were delicious! The icing was soft and fluffy, and the cake was moist and flavourful without being overpoweringly sweet. I didn't feel overstuffed or bloated after enjoying this treat, and that's a big plus for me. You know when you eat a really rich dessert and you get the "sugar sweats." No sugar sweats for me. Just satisfaction. Tori's is a bit of a hike, but I will definitely be back when my sweet tooth is begging for attention.

Came back to try the after hours menu. We actually just had dinner in the area and decided to stop in for a drink before heading home. I ordered the calamity jane and dave ordered something with kraken in it (spelling?) My drink was delicious!! It had like a fresh citrus taste, perfect for summer. We shared the cheese slab. Holy vegan! this was absolutely the best cheese board I've ever tasted. They are cashew based. We tried the smoked, brie and another (sorry don't remember). It was served with crackers, pecans, fruit preserve, pumpkin seeds. It was the perfect end to date night.

I called in and ordered 6 donuts and 6 cupcakes for pick-up the following day. There was a bit of phone tag going on, but I do give Tori's props in getting back to me and ensuring my order was taken. It was pretty obvious they care about their customers from the phone call alone. Picked up my order the next day and everything was waiting for me, packaged nicely. When I placed the order the day before, the girl on the phone informed me that I would be receiving 2 vanilla cupcakes, 2 pear, and 2 margarita. In reality, I was given 2 tiramisu cupcakes in lieu of the pear. When I mentioned it to the girl at the counter, she exclaimed that someone should have called me to inform me of the change. Okay, so I'm not going to mince words here, Tori's is on the pricy side. The donuts are quite small and for the 6 donuts and 6 cupcakes, I paid a hefty sum of just under $50! As far as taste goes, I will say that the salted double chocolate donuts were divine!! The vanilla donuts were okay and a tad too 'raw dough' tasting for me. The margarita cupcakes were tasty. The tiramisu cupcakes were awful. Great effort but the taste was totally unbalanced, especially the failed attempt at some mocha filling which tasted more of stale carob. I'll definitely go back for more of their chocolate donuts, and I'd try out some of their other offerings.

This is my favourite spot to visit in the beaches. All vegan with several gf options, delicious fresh roasted coffee and espresso. Apple scones, brownies, and doughnuts all tasty options. Not too much seating but cozy when there's room.

Desserts are unbelievable good! We are going with them for our wedding desserts. Tori and her staff were very attentive and welcoming. Donuts, cupcakes and cookies were all very good.
