Baker and Scone - Salted caramel scone - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Looking for some of the most delicious scones in Toronto? This is the place? After eating scones here for a few months, I literally can not eat scones anywhere else. Their scones are the perfect combination of flaky, crusty, yet moist and tasteful. They typically have 6 or 7 options out - and a gluten free option - which are always being rotated and new flavours invented. While I love their sweet options, I also have come to LOVE their savoury Dill and Cheddar scone. So delicious. Here is a secret: their espresso is also super delicious. Here is an other secret: while they are known for their scones, their Kale Salad is pretty incredible. read more

These scones are PERFECT. I can't even express how delicious they are. Perfectly crispy on the outside, flaky and tender on the inside. Incredible flavour combinations. You literally cannot go wrong with any of the scones you order here. Also- the butter is another level of amazing. I was lucky enough to get the cheddar/dill/chive scone this morning fresh out of the oven and was blown away. Worth the two minute wait for them to finish baking! This is always our favourite scone, but fresh out of the oven is...mmm....can't even describe. Also recommend getting a coffee here. The only downside is the space is small and there is always a line. Really happy to see a local business doing so well though. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

The scones and latte are really excellent. If you pass by you will smell it from the street and stop there. read more

Visiting Toronto from the San Francisco area and rented an Airbnb around the corner from Baker and Scone. As a group of 6, we tried every Scone then returned the next morning and bought every type again. Two in our group are bakers and make a pretty decent scone, but these scones . . . how to they get them crunchy on the outside yet moist and delicate on the inside? Any return to Toronto will involve a stop at Baker and Scone. read more

Cutest little place with great scones and hot drinks. The staff were very kind and thoughtful. They went above and beyond to make our visit comfortable. We all tried different scones and they were all a hit, so I have no specific suggestion. read more

It's my Saturday morning crack. The salted caramel are to die for - especially when straight out of overn. Good coffee too. Jammies and salmon sandwiches are good too, albeit a bit pricey. Good americanos complete the ritual. Also, nice staff... read more

To go to this place for a meal is a stretch. I wouldn't consider this enough food to qualify as a meal, maybe just a light breakfast. However, they claim to have breakfast, lunch and brunch which is wasting my time when I walk in and all they have is scones and soup. The scones were very good and I thought the price was fair. However the prices for their tea are outrageous. Service is good but have only been there once so I may have been lucky. It is beside stockyards (the place you should be going to) and in an area with a lot of brunch options so not sure how it survives. Not a lot of space inside to sit, so more for one on one dates. Usually not busy, but I believe they have a very successful take-out/catering business. Just to emphasize, their scones are good, just not really a place for a meal. read more

I moved to Toronto a month again, and I just keep coming back here for a quiet morning coffee and a scone. The staff is super friendly, they always have new scones to try, and they have a perfect window for watching people go about their morning hustle. They did raise their prices recently, but it is always good to support local businesses. Also, they always have at least two or three vegan options. read more

Baker and Scone - a scone and a cup of coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

BE AWARE! When you are purchasing more than 6 but not multiple of 6, they chage tax. I went in and bought 9 scones to go, first time ever I check the recipt, wondering why theres tax of $1.15. So I went back into the store and inquired about this. The cashier lady gave no explanation, but said this is how their system work and is unwilling to further clarify the reason they are charging tax when should not. Accoding to retail sales act, sales in eating establishment, tax would not apply for " the product is not pre-packaged for sale and is sold as single servings in quantities of six items or more." Please check your receipt as it looks like this is how their "system" works when CRA works differently. read more

Baker and Scone - BEAWARE - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This place has a very enticing aroma that wafts around the corner of St Clair and Christie. Upon arriving at the shop, you are greeted by an abundance of delicious looking treats within a quaint setting. I have only tried one of their savoury scones (dill, chive and cheddar) and I have to say that it left something to be desired. I felt the flavour was lacking, it really needed that punch one would expect from cheddar cheese and the flavour of dill was completely absent. However, you can te that the ingredients are fresh and good quality (lots of butter). In terms of texture, the middle was soft, but the outside was a bit hard and chewy. If you are expecting a good English style, crumbly scone, this is not it. Perhaps a return trip is necessary to try their sweet scones - maybe they are the best ones. read more

Amazing small scale bakery. If you're looking for your traditional bacon and egg breakfast, obviously don't come here. However, if you're up for something a little different they have a wide variety of tasty scones and not to mention they brew an EXCELLENT cup of coffee! read more

Tasty fluffy scones. I had a savoury bacon and egg one and my friend had a blueberry one. Both were light and fluffy. It's a pity they were not warm. The coffee was great. Small cute little coffee shop. Not cheap at 18$ for two coffee and scones but better than anything Starbucks has to offer. Worth a visit of you're in the vicinity. Maybe take out as its very small and cramped inside. Staff were nice. Tables weren't particularly Clean though. read more

In terms of scones I give them a 2 star but in terms of philanthropy a 5 star. They donate left over scones to drop-in centers in the neighborhood. I know this because i worked next to them at wychwood open door. I've stopped by numerous times and tried their scones and though interesting and innovative with their flavors, the scones were dense and dry and not light and soft as they are supposed to be. I grew up with high tea and have been rather dissapointed with the quality of both scones and tea in Toronto. Sigh but sometimes that's life. read more

The scones are phenomenal, but the business model makes zero sense. Do not come here expecting a proper brunch; I don't see a way to eat here without leaving hungry. Until they expand their menu, I'll be down the street at Stockyards. read more

The kind of place that makes you want to run home and bake something yourself! The scones are OK, not extraordinary, had the "salad nicoise" scone, should be re-named "opened a can of tuna fish and added half an olive". Soup of the day badly needed salt, and the advertised Gruyere cheese in said soup would be a nice touch. When an establishment offers sit in eating, it should run like a restaurant, not just a bus stop with food. Salt and Peppes and napkins would be a good start. A pretty blonde hipster boy serving blends into the twee decor quite nicely. Extremely overpriced for what they are selling. read more

What is that saying? "Do one thing and do it well?" If so, the Baker and Scone folks followed that mantra and have nailed the hipster scone market on St Clair Avenue West. Because that is really all they do. Scones. And they're pretty good. Particularly the buttermilk brown sugar. Just mouthwatering, flaky, juicy even. Mmmmm mmmmmm. Tips: The store is tiny, don't expect to eat-in. Leave your kids and pets and strollers at home. Come early, they often sell out. Always always always order the lemon curd. Watch for odd holiday / long-weekend / summer hours (I'm glad you want family time, and definitely relate but isn't being open inconvenient days just the cost of running your own food service business?) Line-ups rival those of the Stockyards on some weekend mornings. While you wait in line at Baker and Scone, send your partner/friend/power-walking buddy to get coffee at Starbucks. If you're not going to eat all of your scones within 6 hours, freeze them immediately lest they turn into fossils. read more

This is a dainty place located on St. Clair. There is limited seating so you may have to wait in line if going for brunch in a weekend. There are savory and sweet scones available. I went with the spinach scone and a soup. The made-from-scratch soup was very tasty and the scone was delectable. If you're craving a scone, this is definitely the place to be! read more

Good scones. A bit on the sweet and fluffy side but still quite good. Great addition to the neighbourhood. Visit them on Facebook or Twitter. read more

awesome genuine scones are served here:) highly recommended! perfect for saturday brunch i had buttermilk scone salmon scone sandwich and tea latte read more

Scones are fresh & tasty but soup is ridiculously overpriced! Almost $9 for a bland watery cup of chicken soup - that doesn't include the scone. Will return but only for the scones. read more

They have the best scones in the city. Salted caramel is my favourite. Friendly staff

I've been twice now, and have tried two savoury scones (feta and spinach; cheddar, chive and dill) and four sweet (buttermilk vanilla; maple walnut; coconut; oatmeal brown sugar). I can't say I have a single complaint about any of them: they were all scone perfection! Those remarking that they're fluffier than "real" scones are apparently used to scones being dry and crumbly, and I'm not sure why anyone would consider that preferable to rich layers of buttery pastry with just the right combination of flakiness and doughiness. I would love to try their lunch special sometime soon. Today's was asparagus and goat cheese scone tart. Whaaaaaat??? Gimme!! So pleased they're in the neighbourhood -- and especially pleased they're only steps from the Starbucks where I sometimes spend the day working. read more

Pretty much the best scones I've ever had. Every time I walk by I smell the lemon glaze and its intoxicating. Major plus - the staff are super nice. read more

I thought I was having an aneurysm but it was just the deliciousness of scones coursing through my brain. Great texture, flavour, and just the right amount of sugar. I'm going to have to keep coming back until I've tried them all.. read more

Without being the least but hyperbolic, these are THE best scones you'll ever taste. Golden and flakey on the outside, soft and bursting with flavour on the inside. They have a huge selection that varies from day to day, with somethings for every tastebud: From cheddar, chive and dill, to smoked salmon w/ lemon ricotta, to my personal addictive favourite, salted caramel. It's completely ruined scones from any other establishment for me forever, not kidding....they're that good. What's nuts is that the quality control is off the charts; each one is as perfectly made as the other...no easy feat when you taste how good they are. Honesty can't recommend it enough! read more

Baker and Scone - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I stumbled upon this place looking for a cute stand-alone coffee shop to study at. Not the case. The tea and coffee here were very overpriced; I tried the buttermilk double vanilla scone and it was okay. There were only 3 types of scones available when I went, and when I asked for the wifi they said there was none! The store closed at 3pm, which seemed very early for a coffee shop type place. Also they have a $5 minimum for debit purchases, which isn't great when scones cost $3.75. read more

I love this concept - it's like a cupcake bakery...but all scones! Simple yet genius. The scones were absolutely delicious. I only tried the sweet ones: vanilla buttermilk was to die for, but the chai latte and coconut ones were good, too. I'll be sure to try a savoury one on my next visit. With that said, these aren't exactly traditional scones - they are softer and more like a dense muffin. Real scones are usually a little more firm. Scones are served at room temperature, not sure if they can be heated up. The space is extremely cute, and I love the country theme of the decor. My only complaint is that I wish the place was a bit bigger. It was awkward with all the people sitting/waiting in line. read more

Quaint little bakery nestled in the heart of st. Clair. The wife and I had to wait for stockyards so we decided to grab a scone next door while we waited. We had the cheddar and chive scones. Delicious and well priced. A must try. read more

Excellent place. Friendly staff and the scones are to die for. The atmosphere is so light and warm. And the ssssmmeeelll of fresh pastries in there is amazing! Definitely bring your mother. ;) read more

Bought 4 scones to go, lasted the trip home and were still deliciously crisp on the outside and tender inside. Amazing selection.

A great selection of scones. The menu consists mostly of sweet ones but I think their savoury scones really steal the show. I ordered a dozen of the cheddar, dill, and chive scones and the rosemary, black pepper ones and my friends hoovered them down in minutes. I barely had time to stash a few for myself! The store has a wonderful posh feel to it. But seating is very limited so get there early. read more

Holy moly. The best scones I have ever had. Great service, tasty tea ("Løv" brand), excellent decor. Just the best all around.

Baker and Scone is great! It is in my neighbourhood and is one of my favourite places. Definitely has the best scones I have ever tasted!

Scones are amazing. Flavor are very innovative and surprising yet delicious. I've had special orders made with flavors and have not been disappointed. Favorite choices in my family: butterscotch, mixed berries, and pumpkin. My only reason for not giving 5 stars instead of 4 is that the seating area isn't super comfortable. Small space that gets crowded. Other customers hover over you to get your table when you leave. read more

I'm gonna be honest with you: I've never given a flying fuck about scones, and when this strictly-scones-only bakery opened in my neighbourhood I was puzzled as to why anyone would focus on such a bland niche but my world turned upside down when I tried one of their smoked salmon lemon ricotta scone sandwiches and immediately stopped thinking of scones as piles of chalky flour you just choke down because that's all they have to eat at the tea party at your Nanny's retirement home and I was suddenly overcome with the desire to stand on a corner and spread the gospel about this magical land where scones are buttery and flaky with just the right amount of saltiness that makes them taste so good you're tempted to adopt a strictly-gluten diet and smuggle them into Starbucks (sorry, asiago pretzel), and at around $3.00+ per scone some people think they're a little on the expensive side but I think that's a tiny price to pay to have your mind literally blown by a geriatric baked good. read more

Service does not match the delicious scones. I decided to sit and enjoy a Capp and scone, however it was so cold in the shop I could not take my coat off and was still cold. Apparently they cannot close the door while the oven is on? I got up from my seat to get a coffee to go for my husband, when I got back to my seat they had taken my half eaten scone and Capp away. They were not apologetic and begrudgingly comped me another scone but not coffee. My advice keep it simple and take your scones to go. read more

I'm not a scone person, but even these ones I'll eat. They're soft, flavourful, and delicious. It's a bit pricey, but they're the best scones I've ever had. I think that says a lot (not trying to sound full of myself). read more

I've tried at least 5 or 6 different kinds of scones--at all points on the sweet-to-savory spectrum--and they've all been fantastic. A great addition to the Wychwood neighbourhood! read more

I live in the area, and I always find myself here on impulse when I'm craving a baked treat! They have so many varieties--sweet and savory. To be honest, I was never a fan of scones until I came here. Scones are often too heavy and dense for my taste, but these are different. Flakey and crisp on the outside, with soft and moist layers on the inside...yumm. I did have a few poor experiences however, had a few that were not so fresh near the end of day, and were pretty tough to bite into. All in all it's a great little shop to have in the neighborhood. Chive and cheddar is my fave one! read more
