Ok I had no idea this was a second location of the famous Toronto Bake Shoppe until after coming home and searching for their insta. *hand over face emoji*
My bf and I were going for a walk in Bolton and saw a "bake shoppe" that I had never seen before. You know my sweets loving a*s had to pop in. During covid there is a maximum of 3 customers in the shop at a time. I was overwhelmed when I saw all that they had to offer. I wanted to get so much more than what we got but I had to chill cuz I stocked up on baked good from Streetsville the day before.
We each ended up getting a cupcake and a brown butter Nutella cookie. We ate the cupcake as soon as we left but probably should have waited a bit for them to get to room temp. I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would have. Again, I should have waited a bit because the icing was still cold and not soft enough, same with the cake. It was just ok but not something I feel l would get again. I do love that you can see specks of vanilla bean in the icing. That's how you know it's quality.
The brown butter cookie was much better through. The edges were just the right amount of crisp and the centre of course soft, gooey and filled with Nutella. Though I feel like this would work better as a choc chip cookie instead of being filled with Nutella. It was a little too much. But that brown butter flavour was delicious and the few bits of sea salt give your taste buds a surprise.
High key though, the majority of the stars go to customer service. The girl working front of the house was so sweet and friendly. She was very informative with all the questions I asked and had an upbeat attitude. Very refreshing.
Now that it finally clicked that this is a second location of the Toronto shop, I'm defs coming back (well I was coming back regardless lol) to try the homemade pop tart and Flakey! I fully had the Toronto location bookmarked on Yelp for years and liked so many of their insta posts. Lmao
There isn't another bake goods place like this in Bolton, so I'm sure they will be very popular! Oh ya and they just opened in April 2021! read more
