Small, cozy bakery with friendly staff. There is a limited amount of seating along the storefront windows. This is typically my second stop when I visit the Winter Market. I have gotten savory pies, sausage rolls and croissants. They also have cookies, fresh baked breads and other baked goods. On this particular visit we got a hazelnut raspberry croissant and a ham & cheese croissant. Both were delightfully flaky and had a good amount of their respective fillings baked in. The only thing that could have made it better if there were an option to have them warmed. I will likely visit again next time I visit the Winter Market. read more

Went to Brick Street Bakery in the Distillery District on a chilly day, and it was exactly what we needed. The chicken pot pie was really flavourful with a perfectly flaky crust that made every bite satisfying, you could tell it was freshly baked with that golden, crispy texture. But the real hit for me were the beef patties. I devoured two of them and honestly could've kept going. They had that perfect balance of savory filling and buttery pastry that just hits different when you're walking around in the cold. The portions are generous too, so you definitely get your money's worth. read more

This bakery has been around for years, and I used to come here just for their chocolate brioche. This time, I tried the Raspberry hazelnut croissant--it was good, but not as incredible as I remember. With so many great bakeries in Toronto now, the bar has definitely been raised. read more

This is a great bakery located in the distillery district. They have sweet treats and savory items like pot pies and sausage rolls. I enjoyed their Portuguese egg tart, cheesecake tart and I also got a raspberry almond tart. I would go back here. read more

The best Easter Hot Cross Buns - and I speak from years of experience. The sausage rolls aren't shoddy either. Outstandingly fast, efficient, and very helpful service everyday, but extra special on Easter Sunday! (Who knew they'd be open)? And just a great little bake shop. Love to go there. read more

Was looking for butter tarts to try while visiting Toronto and they a variety of tarts to sample. I opted for the plain butter tart, as I was sure what to expect. It reminded me of a pecan pie filling that we have here in the States. The crust was slightly thick but definitely butter and I actually enjoyed the filling more than I expected. Kinda wished I had gotten more. They also offer a variety of pastries both sweet and savory. Second bakery I've seen with the Portugal dessert as well. Staff seemed very nice and attentive. I didn't pay much attention to the inside but I believe they had a few seats available. read more

Yesterday (Sat.) a friend and I were looking for a venue in The Distillery to have some non-alcoholic drinks. We both wanted drinks which didn't have too much sugar in them and after inquiring with a lady at the counter we both chose their regular coffee. I found the quality/flavour quite good and the size fairly large for the price, and my friend agreed. My friend suggested we have something to eat there too and we decided upon their Famous House Chili w/a bread slice which we shared. I found it flavourable but not exceptional, a fairly good deal for the price. The Bakery is pretty small but has several benches as well as a front patio (we sat inside). They have a fairly large and varied selection of offerings considering the venue's size, including breads, pastries and cookies. The service was prompt and helpful and I would consider a return visit for a drink and/or snack. read more

Was slightly peckish so I stopped by for a light lunch. They were sold out of a lot of their savoury options so I opted for a sandwich. The Boxing Day sandwich caught my eye as it was a play on leftover Christmas dinner (turkey, stuffing, cranberry and more). I didn't realize the sandwiches weren't prepared fresh, what I received was a Saran-wrapped sandwich that must have been sitting in their fridge for quite a while. The sandwich was incredibly mushy and eating it cold was not a great experience at all. I had to throw out most of it. I know their baked goods and breads and usually good but this sandwich seriously needs to be removed from the menu (or at least prepared a different way). read more

In the afternoon, they still had a good variety of pastries. My husband and I both got tarts. Me, the custard and him, the pecan tart. They were pretty good. Not outstanding but a nice treat in the distillery district. I did find the service to be very friendly and noteworthy! A customer ahead of us spilled her drink on herself and they were quick to help her clean up and get a replacement. read more

Walked in here on a Friday morning to get some breakfast. Bad choice. While the lady who helped me was nice, their system in place was poor. I ordered a breakfast sandwich (that included bacon), however after I made the order, she came back out saying that they were out of bacon. I was a little disappointed, but life goes on. I asked if I could sub an extra egg in this case given the price wasn't going to change. She said she could do it. I must've waited 20 minutes of this thing to be prepared. Mind you, there was only one person waiting in front of me, and after I ordered, other people walked in to place orders, so I was confused why it took so long. At some point half way of waiting, the lady came out asking if it was ok that they put spicy mayo on my sandwich instead of regular since they were out of that as well. I didn't mind, but it just felt unorganized and clearly someone hasn't been doing inventory because at 8am on. Friday morning, you'd expect them to have the essentials for breakfast items. The funny party in the end was that someone walked in and ordered my exact sandwich and the customer asked "this comes with bacon, correct?" and the lady said yes. Confused me, went up when they finally called my name for my sandwich to ask if they had bacon now, and she said they just got it (?). So I basically asked, am I able to get bacon now? She decided to put a lone bacon piece as a side in a plastic bag. Overall - very poor experience here and would not recommend to others. My croissant tasted flakey and good... this was the only saving grace. read more

B and I decided to come to Brick Street Bakery. I do know that they have one of the best sausage rolls in Toronto. There is a location closer to us but we decided to come to this one because the reviews is much higher and also they were the first location to open up. It costed $4 for two small sausage rolls. B and I each got two small sausage rolls and OMG they were delicious. They were very flavorful. The beef was not overly dry but the right moisture level. The outer layer of the sausage roll was nice and flaky. Overall, it was a delicious sausage roll and I recommend trying it if you have never had them before. They also sells other goodies from pies to pastries to bread. I will definitely have to come back for their other goodies another time. B and I came home and B is still reminiscent the delicious sausage rolls. I told him that next time we are in Toronto, we can go to the Kings street location and we don't need to head all the way to distillery district. read more

Their sausage rolls are popular. First time I went in, I was not after sausage rolls. I just wanted a pastry and a coffee for breakfast. However, I overheard many-a-customer in front of me in line, leaving the bakery disappointed because they were sold out of sausage rolls. Some of their comments about the sausage rolls made me want to come back another time to try them out for myself. Everything I got on my first visit to brick street (an assortment of pies from their case and sweet bakes) were delectable. Having had their sausage roll on my second visit, when it was fresh out of the oven, I can confirm that it is deluxe. The outer layer of pastry is thin and flaky. The sausage is substantial and well seasoned.. Tastes like a classic sausage roll. read more

Tried the Nanaimo bar and was blown away beautiful coconut chocolate base. Highly recommend this Canadian classic.

Love this little bakery! Have always enjoyed their hot sandwiches. The Boxing Day sandwich is unreal: it's a turkey dinner all in one sandwich form. They sell all kinds of bread, pastries and pies. They are such a great option in The Distillery District. They have minimal seating indoors and also have an outdoor patio space on the picturesque cobblestone. read more

I waited 14 years and travel 2,074 miles for the Boxing Day sandwich only to be told they did not have it. I was beyond disappointed. My heart is broken. The food is good enough to wait that long and travel that far but not having your menu items in stock is unforgivable. read more

Now that I've become completely obsessed with The Great British Baking Show six seasons into the series, I think that might have triggered my interest in this British-style bakery in the Distillery District. While I enjoy the nerve-wracking process of baking, it's really the final confection that clinches it for me. When I saw they sold cakes, puddings, and traditional pies, I felt like Paul Hollywood examining the results of the technical challenge at the display case. Jamie W. and I decided to give Star Baker to whomever in the back made the C$2.75 Double Chocolate Butter Tart (photo: http://bit.ly/2UahZ8R). Good texture, flavors melted together well. Prue, what do you think? TART - 4 stars...velvety richness and it is chocolate after all AMBIANCE -3.5 stars...just patio seating out front...usually taken by overweight passing tourists who shouldn't be near a bakery SERVICE - 3 stars...a bit off as they were close to closing TOTAL - 4 stars...on your marks, get set...BAKE!

Dropped in during Christmas Market 2021, picked up a pecan butter tart, a huge oatmeal raisin cookie, and a delicious flaky, buttery beautifullu savoury tasting filling of a sausage roll. Based on the sausage roll seasonings, the savoury meat pie must be as delicious. Next time I will be definitely pick some up. read more

A small little Bakery which is also great if you need a large order to go in The Distillery District. I popped in here for a quick breakfast on my way to a walking tour. It's definitely a small little place not with a lot of seating. More a grab-and-go type spot. I had a pastry as well as a bacon egg and tomato sandwich. Everything was very tasty and filling for a pre tour start. There are variety of pastry options and everything smelled and looked amazing. Did not take long for my food to be made and given to me. One of the best bacon and egg sandwiches I have had in a long time. This is a great spot to Grab & Go or to stop in for a quick bite for yourself. read more

BREAKFAST Living in the distillery district for a long time now I have come to realize that Brick Street Bakery is always consistent. Every time I've come down here to grab either pastries or sandwiches, they have always been on point and delicious! Arrive early to get your favourites before they are gone or between making new batches. My goto are the sausage rolls which are to die for and or any of their sandwiches. Especially the breakfast sandwiches! Your taste buds will whisk you away from the city to perhaps a small French boulangerie somewhere on the outskirts of Paris when you eat here. Love this place! So lucky to be a stones throw away. Keep up the greatness! read more

Stopped in and had some great pastries and cookies! You wont be disappointed! 5 Daniel was Awesome at the counter! Go here now!!

Finally tried the famous sausage rolls. Perfect proportions of beef and pastry, filling was deliciously seasoned. Each order comes with 2 rolls. Ordered coffee, almond and chocolate croissants, loved everything while enjoying the view outside of wedding pictures being taken. Bought some frozen ones to take home as I know I'll be craving for the rolls for sure. Definitely worth the drive. read more

Brick Street Bakery is a fabulous little bakery right in the heart of the Distillery District downtown. Whenever we are visiting the area we usually grab a small treat to snack on as we walk around the Distillery. Unlike a lot of places that are in the middle of a tourist area, they could have compromised quality, but Brick Street Bakery offers wonderful baked goods such as tarts, pies, breads, sausage rolls, etc as well as soups and hot and cold sandwiches. Service is friendly and prices are also very reasonable as they seem to attract both a local and touristy crowd. Definitely can see ourselves coming here as regulars if we lived in the area. Solid 4 outta 5 for a good old fashion bakery! read more

Just as good as you think you neighbourhood bakery should be and in the Distillery! Ordered espresso and maple butter tart. Espresso was surprisingly one of the better ones I have had. The Maple Butter tart was one of the best I've had. I also bought a loaf. Staff is friendly. Location sits about 9. It's more of a takeout place. Gorgeous decor that comes with being in the Distillery. No Wifi, no electrical power outlets, no high chair and no washroom. Many great pastry options that I will come back to try. read more

Super good! Definitely best bakery we have been to while in Toronto! Ordered the coconut strawberry tart/pie, the banana nut bread and two muffins (blueberry and chocolate oats). All of them were super good! We were sad to not be able to try to custard tart because it sounded very very good. Must be good because it was sold out when we showed up (6pm).

Ow, it's on Brick.... Streeet. It's mighty-mighty, just lettin' it all hang out It's on Brick... Street. These tarts are stacked and that's a fact Ain't holding nothing back Ow, it's on Brick... Street. Well put-together, everybody knows This is how the story goes They know they've got everything That a fattie needs to get more fat, yeah, yeah How can they lose with the stuff they use 36 tarts, 24 sausage rolls, 34 dollars, oh what a winning hand. What to get: Pasteis De Nata (Portuguese Custard Tart) What else: Sausage Roll, amazing Pot Pies, anything really Anything else: How do you make a Swiss Roll? Push him off a mountain. This might be the best Pasteis De Nata in Toronto, and Toronto has lots and lots of them. They're incredibly delicious, flaky, slightly burned-tasting custardy tarts direct from Brazil or Portugal, and they're absolute heaven. You'll be in paradise faster than Chris Martin when he shot an apple off his head. Possibly the best tart I've ever tried, and definitely right up there with Progress and Golden Wheat (the other great ones in Toronto). Easily a 5 star, although parking can be tricky because it's on a fancy pedestrian-only street. It's so worth a visit, you'll absolutely love it. The sausage rolls are wonderful, reminding me of England. A little on the dry side but still heaven. The pot pies are something else entirely. Most people in North America have no idea how to make a real pie. It's an English thing. Brick Street gets it. They're huge, hearty, flavourful and delicious. Yes this place is expensive as freak but you know, when the goods are this amazing, it's worth every last Canadian Peso. And if people are mean to you on the way in or out, it's nothing personal. There's a reason they named this street Pr**k Street. read more

OMB! Oh my beef! As in the cow not a complaint. Far from it. In the middle of a project I realized I was hungry and lucky me, I live in the Distillery. I'll usually jet down to pick up some sausage rolls for a quick snack but this time I went full in. The Christmas market still in frenzy mode meant I had to line up outside the bakery but when I did get in my senses were overwhelmed with the smell of delicious! The guy in front of me ordered the beef sandwich and the rolls went outta my head like that. I ordered the same not realizing what I was getting into ... one of the best sammy's I've had since my Dad would make us sandwiches-of- the-roast (tearing up a little thinking about it as he's been gone a few years). Generous cuts of beef, mayo, the perfect amount of horse radish and satiny pan roasted onions on killer sliced bakery bread. Too large to eat it all the second half was saved for dinner and the same nostalgic trip all over again at dinner. Thanks for the memories Brick Street! Seeya soon xo read more

Brick Street Bakery - Roast Beef Sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

It was the middle of the week and I was looking for a quick bite while finishing up my Christmas shopping in the distillery district. I came upon Brick Street and walked in to a very small & cute bakery. There was loaves of freshly baked breads & tons of pastries. I figured I shouldn't eat a pastry for lunch so opted for the Brick Club Sandwich. I thought I would get a dried out chicken club but instead the chicken was super soft and so flavourful! Tons of garlic & spices topped with onion, tomato and lettuce! There was also bacon which I removed because it wasn't super crispy which I love. If I was ever in the area and needed a quick bite I would come back! Keep Eating, Angela read more

I love the rustic feel of Brick Street Bakery... I feel like I have transferred back to the era that I can get something so good, so wholesome, so full of carbs from my local bakery. I will suggest not to come here when you are mighty hungry, because everything looks so deliciously good. Sausage Roll oh so round and stuffed, glazed chocolate twist, chocolate/almond croissant can I get them all?? It was so crowded on a Sunday afternoon.. I barely able to get inside the door. But I got my oh so buttery/flaky almond croissant ($2) just sniffing the butter aroma.. so heavenly good! read more

With many sandwich options broken out for you into two camps (cold and warm), you can't go wrong no matter what you choose. I read some Yelp reviews while in line and they recommended EVERY sandwich on the menu. I committed to the tuna, which was a large sandwich I could have easily shared with someone else. The sandwiches are on the slightly expensive side to not come with chips, soup, or a salad- but they are so good that you won't care. There is limited outdoor seating, although I found a spot quickly. Even if you end up walking around, it is STILL The Distillery. Absorb your surroundings and be happy. Before I create too much distance between me and Brick Street Bakery, I should highlight their awesome baked goods (go figure, right?). They are just SO yummy! I had a tart that was incredible. read more

This bakery was a nice surprise as we aren't planning on getting pastry but we couldn't resist. We started with a lemon tart (scrumptious) and then ordered an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. They were both so darn good that we got 6 more cookies and 2 brownies and a pecan tart. Each desserts was better than the other. We were in dessert heaven. The owner (baker) was so lovely and warm. She was a delight and this little outing made our day! Just finished the brownie and it was literally to die for but we hope to live longer because we have another one to share tomorrow. Yum! read more

Stopped in for a quick snack while I was walking around the Distillery District and stumbled upon Brick Street Bakery. It seemed pretty popular (they have four locations) as there was a constant flow of people coming in and out so I stepped inside to take a look. It smelled heavenly inside. Nothing like the fresh smell of baked goodies. They have warm and cold sandwich options along with a couple of daily soups. One of the pastry displays. Lots of selection to choose from including loafs, tarts, macarons and bars. Would love to have tried out their fresh loaves! No place to sit inside but there are a handful of tables outside. Similar to the cute French cafe type of seating. - Almond croissant ($2.25) - light, flaky, buttery and a generous portion of the frangipane filling. I was content after devouring this. No complaints on my end! Perfect spot to grab a bite before/after exploring the Distillery area. read more

This place is great! Lots of pastry options. Lots of bread options as well. All made fresh daily! On top of all the baked goods, they also have a great lunch menu to pick from with daily specials. The food is a little bit on the pricier side, but still decent. Their standard breakfast runs 8am-12pm (weekdays) and til 1pm (weekends) which is surprisingly cheaper than everything else. *UPDATE* They have expanded their interior. They now have a little sitting spot. This place feels a bit less crowded due to the extra space!! They have also expanded their breakfast sandwich hours from 8am-5pm!! The breakfast sandwich was very fresh and delicious! read more

Brick Street Bakery has a big assortment of different pastries, pasties, breads, etc. We were not particularly hungry, so we opted for a small lemon tart. It was good, but not great and probably not the absolute freshest. While not the worst tart we've had, we definitely had fresher tarts at the nearby St. Lawrence Market. If you're in the area and want a sweet treat, then Brick Lane will definitely satisfy that. read more

I strongly recommend that you do not support this company. I was employed at Brick Street Bakery from March, 2018 to May, 2018. Prepare for a long review. In the very short time I worked there about 7 employees, the manager, and the Human Resources representative quit (something I now am not surprised by). The manager was never replaced and only two new employees were hired. This meant that we were severely understaffed. As a relatively new worker I was working the jobs of about three people. I worked the front of the store and register, helped cook, served food, trained the new employees, opened and closed (often on my own) and did almost all of the restocking. I did not mind taking on some extra work or extra hours. At the time there were about 5 employees working at our location. In April I pulled my lower back at work after lifting very heavy objects during my closing duties. I informed the owner and asked for a week off, as the doctor had recommended. Only three days later they asked me to come in because they didn't have enough workers. I agreed but told them I would need someone else to help me do all heavy lifting and that I would not be able to complete closing duties alone. They assured me I would have help, but by the next day I was already opening on my own (my coworker failed to show up) and was asked to restock the entire store (which requires a lot of lifting). I let this slide because I do not like to cause conflict. On May 12th, however, I hit my head on a metal beam in the front of the store. The beam is very poorly located. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a concussion. I filed a claim with WSIB. Now, 8 months later, and I am still unable to work. I spent the first two months completely bedridden. I have daily headaches, post concussion syndrome, and also just found out I have two herniated discs in my low back (from the original injury lifting during my closing shift). I am 20 years old, so injuries like this are not exactly common for my age and I have never previously been injured like this. I have not been back to Brick Street since this injury. They were EXTREMELY uncooperative. They never paid for my loss of earnings, even though WSIB asked them multiple times. I emailed them recently letting them know I have filed a second claim for my back as I am now having to undergo very expensive treatment for it. I never got a response (big surprise). Brick Street Bakery treats their employees terribly. They are overworked and underpaid. I can not disclose exact information but I will say that I was paid tips once in the three months I was there. I was paid a laughable amount in tips, and as I was in charge of counting the register and know how many people tips were divided between I know that we were not given even close to the amount of tips we made. (I was given less in tip money for three whole months of work than we made daily in tips). The owner of the company is uncooperative and rude. The food quality is poor- baked goods in the display case are left out for far too long. Muffins are heated daily in the microwave and are not even close to fresh. Trays and pots in the kitchen are not very clean. Only the bread and pasties are fresh. Those are very good and that's what my one star goes towards. I urge you to stop supporting this company until they learn to treat their staff properly and professionally, until they hold themselves accountable for the injuries that happen in their workplace, and until they ensure better food quality. They are not worth your money or time read more

I had searched all of Toronto for a butter tarts because I read that it was a Canadian staple. I was really disappointed that they were out of a lot of things due to the weekend rush. No cocoa powder or any tea packets. They had a wall of bread that I wasn't quite sure were fresh. It looked good though. Their tarts looked really yummy and people recommended many different ones to try. I had the beef with potatoes and though I enjoyed the crust, it was a bit dry without a gravy. Ham and cheese was fine. Sausage roll was tasiest, mostly because of the sausage. Portuguese egg tart had a thick crust. Butter tarts was very sweet and liquidy. Spinach and feta tart was fine. Overall, glad I found this place but will most likely not go back. Our server was really nice about the whole thing. read more
