This bakery is so cute! Their pastries are so delicious, a bit on the pricier side, but the quality is definitely there. There hasn't been an item that I've tried I didn't like. My favourite though, has to be the classic, butter croissant. I picked up a strawberry short cake for a family dinner, and oh my gosh, it was so yummy. The cake was made out of layers of chiffon cake (super light and airy) and a delicious whipped cream with strawberries pieces nestled between the layers. I've only done take out there, but they do have a small area with seating, including space outdoors for warmer months. The service is good, staff are friendly and efficient. Even if there's a line, you're not really waiting that long. The location is easy to get to from Finch Station, but if you're traveling by car, parking may be a bit tough to find, though there is street parking and a paid lot a couple blocks further north by the TTC lot. read more

We came here for one thing...the Dubai chewy cookie. The cafe sells other items as well from cakes to sandwiches to croissant pastries. The space is not big but there some limited seating. The display cases are at the far end of the store and if there is a lineup it will be hard to see what is available unless you get closer to the cash area and if this is your first time here and don't know what is available it might take a bit to decide. The coveted Dubai Chewy cookie sits next to the cash area. You can get a box of 4 or singles. We got a box of 4, with tax....just over 27 bucks. Was it worth it? I would say YES! The coating was soft and chewy with a generous amount of filling with the kataifi giving a nice crunch. This is definitely a treat. read more

After seeing this all over my feed, we had to try the viral Dubai Chewy Cookie. It's crunchy, nutty, and not overly sweet. The pistachio cream and kunafa bits are well balanced, and the marshmallow coating doesn't overpower everything with sugar. That said, at $6 for one small ball, it feels pricey for what you get. It's tasty and fun to try once, especially if you're into Dubai chocolate, but it's also the kind of treat that makes you think, "I could probably attempt this at home." If they ever did a daifuku-style version with fruit inside, that would seriously take it up a level. read more

Leo the owner is so kind, accommodating, and provides such great customer service. The cafe itself is a bright and airy corner spot with such a welcoming atmosphere. This is one of my favourite places for croissants and pastries in North York and definitely one of my regular go-to spots. Everything is always so consistent ...from the food and drinks to the service. I love their chocolate, butter croissant, and the coffee and matcha are both great too. Bonus that they offer milk substitutes as well. Would definitely recommend! read more

Small bakery west of Yonge and Finch. Came here to try the Dubai chewy cookie. It was pretty good but realistically could only eat one. For $6 a piece I think it was worth it. What I really ended up enjoying was the red bean croissant. It was crunchy, flaky, creamy, and not too sweet. The focaccia was also yummy. Staff were helpful as well. They dont restock items so once its done, thats it for the day. And they do run out. read more

B&B creates one of the best croissants I've ever had. I can't even express how good they are, albeit that they are quite pricey. And somehow the price doesn't stop me from wanting to go back.. read more

A much needed patisserie by the Yonge & Finch area. Good pastries, decent drinks, limited seating. FOOD (4/5) We ordered three croissants: (1) Cheese & Salami, (2) Strawberry Marscapone, and (3) Milk Cream. By far the favourite was the cheese and salami croissant; flaky outside, soft inside, good balance of savoury from the salami, and fragrance from the cheese crusting. Slight variation on the textbook ham and cheese croissant. The strawberry marscapone croissant was fresh, airy, and lightly sweet. Unfortunately, the marscapone did not come through at all and just tasted like whip which felt a bit misleading as it's labelled as marscapone filling. Beware, milk cream croissant is SUPER MESSY to eat cause it's covered in little cake crumbs which I think was a bit unnecessary. The outer crumby coating is mildly vanilla sweet and it's filled with a milk based cream/filling. The flavour is a bit unidimensional and I'd recommend sharing this with someone ideally on a plate with a knife LOL DRINKS (4/5) We ordered an Iced Americano and an Iced Vanilla Latte both were very textbook. The iced vanilla latte had a very light vanilla flavour and we wished it was more prominent. LOCATION (3.5/5) Just a short walk west from Finch station, they are quite accessible by transit. If driving, there is street parking on Yonge, paid parking at Finch station, or at the small parking lot for Hendon Park a short walk away (recommend this). AMBIENCE (3/5) The interior was modernly renovated with light marble and lighting however there are very limited seats. There is a small bankette seat by the window, and 2 small benches with IKEA coffee tables in the corner. There is also some seating on the patio out front for warmer days. The back half of the unit is where they prep ane bake their pastries, so it's cool they do it in house! VALUE (4/5) Prices were quite on par with most other patisseries in the GTA. Pastry selection was decent but not abundant. Quality of food was good but nothing felt like nothing WOWed us. OVERALL (4/5) Really solid cafe and pastry option in North York with a decent variety of pastries and classic cafe drinks. I would definitely come back to try more of their savoury pastries! read more

Brick & Butter Bakehouse opened up at the end of last month. They took over a sizable spot that used to be a Korean spicy rice cake chain with ample seating, so I was surprised to see the space so underutilized with zero seating. I asked if they had plans to have seating, and they said not at the moment. We'll see. The place has high ceilings, a pleasant calm ambience, and is very bare-bones in terms of decor. Things I've had from here that tasted great: mushroom alfredo danish, tomato basil danish, black sesame croissant, fig and cream cheese financier. Not so great: milk cream croissant (expensive yet so soggy! and the decorative layer of crumbs on top had no taste or function). And a huge minus for me is how carelessly they pack the goods. Literally on top of each other! Toppings from the tomato basil danish fell into the box and the drizzle affected the croissant below... yuck. Wish they cared more about proper packaging! read more

I needed to take a walk so to treat myself. I stopped by Brick & Butter Bakehouse and ordered the butter croissant, chocolate croissant and sesame croissant. Just finished the chocolate and original croissant. It was absolutely delicious. Crunchy on the outside and so soft and fluffy inside. Once you start, hard to stop eating them. They had a chocolate cake and another red bean cake but they don't sell it by the slice. They have different coffees, latte, cortado, tea. The interior they don't have seats, ambiance was clean and simple. Overall, so glad this new spot open near me. Already told my mom about this spot and how tasty it is so she will need to check it out too! read more

The croissant was on pricy side. It tastes decent, but do I need to go back, um, maybe when I am in the area. However, I do see they serve pour over coffee with single origin coffee beans from Spain roaster. I may give it a try. read more

This place has delicious asian style baked goods. They have both sweet and savoury flavours. It is soooo good. It is better to come in the morning so that you get a fresh batch and the items are more fully stocked. The croissants are both flaky and soft and chewy at the same time. I have tried every flavour and item here. I love the matcha croissant and the mushroom croissant. the tart is not bad. The cookies are ok, i would skip it. If you are a fan of baked goods and in the area, definitely give this place a shot. They have limited seating inside and during the warmer months the patio is open. The serve drinks as well, personally the matcha drink is overpriced $10. read more

Brick & Butter Bakehouse located along Finch Ave W near Greenview Ave is North York's newest bakery for croissants, coffee, and dessert. The bakery officially opened at the end of March and have been a new favourite in the neighbourhood with their items selling out on the weekends. In terms of their coffee they use Hatch coffee beans, a local roaster. I stopped by Brick & Butter Bakehouse on a Monday morning around 7:30am or so before heading to work. Opted to get a cortado and a chocolate croissant as well as a savory mushroom alfredo croissant. My coffee was made at a reasonable time and tasted great. I was a bit too early so the display of pastries was still half empty as the bakers in the back were hard at work baking away. When I was leaving I saw that they had stocked up on the tomato basil danish (will have to try that next time!). The store also had several strawberry shortcakes on display (~$50 each). Service was friendly and staff were attentive despite it being so early. My only wish is that i hope they have seating in the future as it would be great to enjoy my items there! Overall, the items I bought were great and delicious. So glad that North York finally has a great place for French pastries and coffee. Can't wait to go back to try more pastries as well as their sourdough! read more

Finally, I tried this bakery. I choose mushroom and another croissant with black sesame. The price is around 6 to 7 dollars per piece. I like the mushroom more as the black sesame is kind of too sweet to me. Both pastry is very crispy however, it is not that battery which I expect croissant should be. Service is nice and it is putting out some free sampling coffee to try. There are a couple of table outside which customer can enjoy their breakfast or snack. There is not much parking nearby. Only free parking in the weekend. read more

Went more towards the evening 6pm and they still had lots of pastries. The black sesame crossiant was good but it would have definitely tasted better If I got it at the beginning of the day. The matcha red bean crossiant was calling for me but I was too full. They have a full latte and coffee menu. They sell tarts and cakes as well. A few seats as well! Very modern ambiance. you can either park on side street or Green P. read more

Absolutely gorgeous cafe. It has limited seating inside but you can usually find a seat or two! The matcha is very grassy, which is perfect for me. Lactose-free options exist as well. The croissants are very flakey and soft, highly recommend. The mocha is a tad bit sweet but some of the better ones I've had read more

I had their black sesame croissant and mushroom truffle croissant. the black sesame croissant had a lot of black sesame filling inside, which was a great surprise because most bakeries skim on the filling. But not brick & butter!!! There was so much black sesame paste in the croissant!! The mushroom truffle croissant was also very delicious. I work right around the corner so I have been visiting weekly. I highly recommend brick & butter bakehouse!! read more
