Stopped by this plaza and decided to walk in. Its a filipino bakery with low prices! They also have a bunch of filipino snacks and ingredients to stock up your shelves. The baked goods had a good variety of options. The cashier was a very nice woman. Note they only take cash or debit! read more

If you're feeling adventurous and would like to try some new sweets, come visit Baker's Best, Filipino bakery! It's a tiny shop so only 4 customers at a time given covid restrictions. We came here today around 12pm and there was already a line up outside but it was a short wait. My friend had recommended this place so I've had it on my list to visit for a long time and finally made it here today. Their Pandesal (Filipino bread rolls) is pretty famous here so make sure you pick up a bag. For 12 mini loafs in a bag is only $3.75. I'm not quite familiar with Filipino sweets so it was hard to choose but everything was reasonably price for about $1.3 to $3 so we just picked up randomly a variety of sweets. They like to use Ube (Purple Yam) in their sweets so everything look so pretty! We also picked up their savoury steamed pork buns (Siopao) which comes in a package of 3 for $5.25. These are similar to the chinese BBQ pork buns but the meat is juicier and bread is not as dense and sweeter. We really liked these buns and one is filling enough for a light lunch. I haven't tried all the sweets that we bought yet but my favourite so far is the Ube cake and Cuchinta (steamed brown sugar tapioca or rice flour cake). I'm definitely a fan now for Filipino sweets! read more

A hidden gem in the North Scarborough neighbourhood. This bakery has been around for so many years but I just started visiting it 2 years ago. Their ube sponge cake ($2.50) and their ensaymada ($1.70/each, $6/4) taste really fresh and are a super affordable breakfast/snack! I also tried their cheese cupcakes for $3.75 and they're a delicious sweet and savoury treat as well. They also have halo halo, custard cake, pandesal and Filipino grocery items available. Overall great place to buy bread and other baked goods for a really affordable price! All prices listed in my experience include tax. read more

Best Filipino bakery. I've been coming to this bakery ever since I was a little kid and it has consistently provided fresh pandesal (Filipino bread) and other Filipino baked goodies for many years. My parents love the pandesal here because it's one of the only Filipino bakeries that can make pandesal that stays soft and fresh for awhile. I know some other places the bread becomes hard after a day or two. Baker's best stays soft for a longer than a week (although I don't think the bread lasts that long in this house) the other baked goods are also great. If you're able to get it fresh out the oven where they still have to give it to you in the paper bag -this is the best! The ensaymada (like a brioche but Filipino style) and mamon (like a sponge cake) are also a crowd favourite -on Saturday if you come too late it's rare to see this still on the shelf. Order ahead if you want to guarantee you'll walk out with this if you're planning on going on the weekend. The siopao (bao/filled bun) is also good here if you want something more savoury. Lastly if you like pies, the egg and the ube macapuno are both great choices. Again my family has been coming here for years so it's our local Filipino bakery and everything is pretty delicious. If it's your first time at one try any of the above mentioned! read more

Best halo halo in my opinion. Also cute bakery of yummy baked Filipino desserts and breads.

The absolute best place to get pandesal in Scarborough, if not all of Toronto. If you've never had fresh, hot pandesal that has just come out of the oven, you are truly missing out. It may appear to be "just bread" to some but you need need need to try the fresh pandesal from this bakery! I love how lowkey it is, and the ladies that run it are so sweet and happy. The prices are also amazingly cheap. They have other Filipino favourites as well such as chocolate crinkles and puto. 11/10 would recommend! read more

My family has been going here for years for our weekly breads and Filipino sweets. The service is always great and fresh daily!

I was craving for some fresh baked pandesal so I tagged along with some friends to this Filipino bakery. Boy am I glad I went! As soon as you walk in you're greeting with the tantalizing aroma of fresh baked bread, I was in heaven. The store is small and cramped. The aisles are just wide enough for two lines of people to squeeze past each other (one coming and one going). There's a large variety of baked goods to choose from. There are cooling racks behind the display case with all the fresh out of the oven baked goods. There are also 2 large shelves with Filipino grocery items (they carry my favorite noodles - Lucky Me Chilimansi flavor) and a refrigerated section which has my favorite green tea (C2 which is sweetened with cane sugar). The line was long but it moved quickly. We ordered 2 dozen regular pandesal and 1 dozen wheat pandesal which came out to be a little under $10. I love that everything was labeled with the name of the item and the price. The store is efficient and well organized. These rolls are not the typical ones you find in the Philippines which are small and hard. These are similar to the ones you find in Southern California - large and soft with a touch of sweetness. There are a number of ways to enjoy it - dunk it in coffee or hot chocolate, toast it with some butter, use any kind of spread you have (nutella is always good), make sliders out of it, or use it to make an ice cream sandwich. The best way to see if it is really good though is to eat it hot, right out of the oven. Definitely coming back to try their other offerings. read more

Came here primarily for the Halo Halo as I never tried it before. The halo halo ($7.50) was very filling it has shaved ice in top, coconut jelly, red bean, and other stuff I don't know. it got sweeter as I got to the bottom (too sweet for me). I was told by my friend I was supposed to mix it but the shaved ice was in big chucks and was very hard to mix I've also ordered the chicken and pork buns (~$5.25 for 3 buns). It was very similar to chinese steam buns, but the meat was flavourful. The ube bread ($3.25$) was very good, it was sweet but not overly sweet. I expected the whole mid section to have ube, but ube was not continuous, it breaks into section so expect plain bread depending on where you cut. read more

Fresh pandesal that tastes great even after a couple of days. This has been a favourite for my family and never disappoints!

Every filipino knows about pandesal. And this place makes the best pandesal in Toronto. Their pandesals are so soft and lasts longer than the competition. All breads and pastries are made in house. Their pan de coco (coconut filled bun) is also really good. Airy, stuffed with sweetened coconut. They also make coconut pies, Spanish breads, and the summer faves of halo Halo and sago't gulaman. I mean it's sooo good that this is the only bread we send to our family in the US. read more

So glad I came across this bakery! This bakery has good hours, and before closing time, they still had many bakery items to choose from. I just had to try one of their specialties. I bought macarons for $2.50 (comes with 8 pieces). Tasted really good, perfectly sweetened! I'll make sure to drop by again to try more of their goods. They had many mamon's still available when I went (ube, mocha, and vanilla assortments), and would definitely try that next time. Review 82 of 100 read more

Its a nice bakery, would recommend to others and people around the area. I sadly live a little far from the bakery.

Its a really small filipino bakery that I have been going here since I was a little kid. My Mom used to visit sometimes after she picked me up from school and occasionally, she still stops by. They have pretty good pandesal, especially if you can get it hot and fresh. Some of my other favourite things are their Turon which is available on Saturdays and their Ube bread. There are also lots of traditional filipino foods available. They have longanisa, puto, leche flan and more! If you want some good filipino baked goods and don't know what to try, I would say go for the Ube bread or try Turon on a Saturday. read more

When you walk in you can smell the delicious aroma of baking. Absolutely delicious pandesal! My relatives that don't live in the area always come to pick some up when they are nearby. Ever since I was a little kid I was hooked onto the kusinta and puto snacks. I would always ask my parents to grab one (or both!) after a dentist appointment next door. The shop is pretty small and the bread can sometimes be sold out if you come in too late. It's a great grab-and-go Filipino bakery! read more

Can I just mention how redundant the name of this place is.. "Baker's Best Bakery".... LOL. You want fresh PAN-DE-SAL? The awesome bread rolls us Filipinos have for breakfast or sometimes for our merienda (small snack)... Girl this is where you get them! They also sell awesome BAO Buns.. or SIOPAO, filled with awesome meat fillings! They don't skimp on it, no no no. read more

This is my favourite bakery. I grew up eating pandesal, mamon and ensaymada from Baker's Best. I've never had Filipino baked goods comparable to theirs. This weekend, I visited Baker's Best for the first time in nearly 15 years. I ordered the freshly-baked pandesal. It was fluffy, soft and warm - just as I remembered. read more

Baker's Best Bakery - Fresh pandesal from the oven! - Bakeries Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Hands down this place has the best HOT pandesal and siopao!! The moment I experienced their mouth watering hot pandesal aroma and chicken siopao, I never go anywhere but here even if it takes me 45 minutes driving. Also try the custard cake and cassava cake. Highly recommend. read more

PROPER Filipino bakery. Nowhere to sit but they got the right goods. Consider this a great place to grab baked goods to take home.

Love the leche flan from here! It's only $8 but it sells out fast so get here early or you'll be disappointed. Fresh breads, cakes, cookies and specialty imported products available. Ube ice cream too! Saw a custard cake for $10, definitely trying that next time! read more

Amazing pandesal! I didn't know what it was before today. My first time but definitely going back for more! Super chewy and doughy, a little sweet. Just the stick to your gut kind of bread with a good bite you didn't know you needed in your life until you've had it. I think it would be amazing to dip in a curry or some sort of saucy something. I ate it straight out the bag cold. Warmed with a little butter I think I might just die... brb.. read more

My favorite place to get halo halo. It's amazing how much 7 dollars can get you compare to other Filipino restaurants around here. Their dessert are great too, their leche flan, Ube desserts and more. And their staff are incredibly friendly read more

This place has remained the best Filipino bakery in my neighborhood. Never once have they changed their recipes (at least not to my knowledge - they still taste the same!), so you can rely on them to bake the same delicious pandisal as they baked 10 years ago! read more
