Pricey, but very, very nice! I'm not a huge croissant fan but I am a big cake eater, and the cakes here look beautiful. I tried the caramel banana cake and it was so good - strong banana and caramel flavour that complemented each other well, not too sweet, not too much frosting...it was very nice. And I love the flavours that they have! I look forward to trying the s'mores cake, the matcha, and of course, the blueberry lemon. The price per slice is on the high side for cake, and each slice is quite small. But that doesn't bother me too much because I can totally benefit from having smaller dessert portions anyway and what matters to me is quality, which they have in spades. Can't wait to bring my favourite people here! read more

Their guava purée and Tahiti vanilla twist soft serve is the best!! The flavours of the guava and vanilla really came out, and I was really impressed by the fruity and smoothness of the dessert as a whole. The handmade waffle cone was also delicious. Would highly recommend. Apparently it's only around for the month of November! read more

Been here a couple of times for their croissants and soft serve. Love their lemon meringue croissant, it's a definite must order. The croissant is nice, soft and flaky. The lemon filling is just right, not too sweet. I've also tried their strawberry matcha pastry. Didn't really like this one that much. Tasted a bit stale, maybe because we went at night. It wasn't crispy and flaky as the lemon one. Flavour was alright. As for the soft serve, I tried their strawberry and vanilla one and also the black currant. Both very delicious. The fruit flavours are usually more like sorbet but the tahini is nice, smooth and creamy. Nice combination though. read more

I had a birthday cake ordered from here and it was amazing! It's a bit more expensive than other bakeries, but the quality is stand out and worth it for special occasions. Cakes are made fresh to order and need to be ordered two days in advance. Seasonal varieties are available as well. We had the 8-inch chocolate passion fruit cake. It was not too sweet and had a very fragrant fruit flavor that complimented the milk chocolate well. The cake was moist, and the cream was silky smooth, decadent and rich. We should have opted for the bigger one. Butter Baker, my sweet tooth thanks you! read more

Awesome bakery with friendly staff. I had the butter tart and a cortado. The tart was great but the cortado was on point. I got everything to go but ended up eating everything there while waiting on friends to decide what to get. Unlike Pablo Cheese Tart (next door), Butter Baker allows you to order a slice of cake for take out. read more

A take out pastry/cake shoppe. Everything looks pretty and appetizing and artistic... (a whole half pear glazed into a pastry?? wow). I usually don't like matcha cake but they really nailed it with their matchimisu cake. Higher end pricepoint - well worth it. Will come back to try other flavours. read more

A cute patisserie! I tried their strawberry cake and blueberry lemon cake. The slices are pretty big, since there's multiple layers of cake and cream. They're quite sweet though, since after the first few bites, it became overwhelmingly sweet. The two tasted a bit similar in my opinion though. They also have a bunch of croissants and danishes with different toppings on them, as well as cookies. read more

I've become a regular at Butter Baker to try their monthly icecream flavours. I'm also a fan of their coconut cream cake (splurge at ~$7?/slice) and matcha cookie. read more

What a cute place with great service. Had to deduct 2 stars for quality of food (taste just okay, too sweet and it's overpriced) and lack of seating. I loved the ambience of the place, wished it was bigger because it would be a great place to socialize. The interior design is much better than most trendy cafes! read more

Ordered the pumpkin spice and caramel croissant. Flakey and crispy buttery layers and pumpkin spice flavour. As if that wasn't enough, it's covered in caramel drizzle! Small selection of pastries and cakes with drinks menu on the wall too! The layout of the baked goods looks inviting. The service was welcoming, friendly and quick. Very convenient location close to Bay and Dundas. Definitely an indulgence! read more

Butter Baker has some seating at the front right when you walk into the bakery. They have a wide selection of baked goods, coffee and tea. I came here to try the straberry purree and vanilla ice cream. The straberry flavour is nice and tart and not too sweet. The vanilla ice cream is light as well and together, it's a nice treat on a summer day. The baked goods is a bit on the pricey side as I saw some priced at $5 each. I'll come again and try their baked goods and see if it's worth the price. read more

Definitely a once in a blue moon type of treat considering the price. But wow, as someone who doesn't have much of a sweet-tooth, I found these Asian-French fusion pastries here both delicious and aesthetically impressive. The lemon meringue croissant and porchetta banh mi were my favourites. The meringue pastry had a nice tartness and, while I found a touch too sweet for me, had a pleasingly satisfying flaky-enveloping-creamy-curd bite. The banh mi wasn't a banh mi other than for its filling (do chua, couldn't clearly taste the pate/mayo if there was any) and the porchetta didn't have any crackling but the combination of the carrots, the pork and again the superb flakiness of the croissant was greatly enjoyed. The matcha strawberry danish/strudel was also quite good and a favourite amongst my friends, but to me, paled next to the lemon meringue. Worthy a try--recommended. read more

Stopped by here on my walk home from work one day. Ice cream for dinner makes a bad day better :) 2 days later brought my coworker here because the blueberry soft-serve was so good, and because I couldn't stop raving about it at work! Look forward to the new flavour every month! read more

I tried their strawberry matcha Danish: Pastry: very crispy, many layers, the matcha paste doesn't soften the pastry Matcha: not too strong at the first bite, but there is matcha flavor Strawberry: nicely glazed Overall: 8.5/10 Tried their pear Danish as well A little bit sour but still nicely glazed. Appreciate how they keep their half in shape and make this Danish Overall: 7.8/10 read more

Cute shop and friendly staff. Grabbed myself a slice of Matchamisu. Nothing special. And the size is smaller than what I expected since it costs nearly $8 after tax. read more

Waited on line for 20 minutes to find out there is no ice cream and hardly any baked goods. Staff was disorganized. Started serving people that were standing behind us, allowing them access to remaining goods before we were served. They also allowed one customer to walk to the front of the line with her dog and get served before us, supposedly she was told to go to the front. We ended up getting nothing. You need to be more organized unless you want a fight amongst customers. Uncomfortable experience. Not sure if your cakes are worth all this aggravation. read more

Found out about this place when Butter Avenue said they were expanding. Came here and instantly fell in love with their pear tart and danish series. What's best is they also have soft serve here. read more

Very clean and organized bakery. Got a slice of smores cake, which is extremely sweet (and I have a sweet tooth) but tasty. Nice to have a bakery in the area, as I usually walk to Nadege. Even though we only got a slice, the packaging was very nice. It was put in a box and then into a paper bag. Would come back to try the pastries. read more

So good, perfection if you love pastries. Only problem is they often sell out of my favourites.

(5/5) Cakes: great! Try out the birthday cake... I'm a huge fan and will continue to purchase. Might be some of the best in the city for non-traditional cakes. (2/5) Ice cream: not the best. Tried out the pineapple and vanilla. Too sweet and similar to a sorbet. (3.5/5) Croissants: pretty good. Could have better at a place like Blackbird though. Prices are generally steep. ~6.5 an ice-cream cone and 10 for a slice of cake. read more

Wide selection of pastry. Especially love their pork belly croissant just like thick slice bacon. Their cakes are also very nice. Coffee is what you need to go with them! read more

This is one of my favourite spots in Toronto. Everything is always so fresh and delicious. I highly recommend trying the matcha cookie, iced bakers latte & their blueberry lemon cake-- thank me later ! read more

The place is smaller than expected. I honestly thought there was a dine-in section when I saw the article about them online, but it was actually a narrow shop. All their baked goods looked delicious but we only tried their cakes - s'mores, chocolat, and matcha. Out of the three, matcha was the one that stood out because it was soft and flavourful. The chocolat was a really good standard chocolate cake. S'mores tasted mainly like marshmallow; the flavour profile was just really light. We received excellent service as the staffs were friendly. They made recommendations for first time customers. FYI: the cakes do sell out really fast. If you already know what you want, you should reserve it. I will be back to try the croissants! read more

Horrible. Ice cream had no taste. Over hyped! Once people see the line outside they tent to just get in line also. I was so disappointed. Also soooooo over priced. read more

Such a cute lookin' shop from the outside so we decided to drop by! I decided to try the Triple Chocolate Croissant $3.75 - it is made with dark chocolate so it wasn't overly sweet and overpowering (awesome!). I would give it a 7.5/10 as it is quite expensive and I could tell it wasn't fresh off the press with that warm & crispy croissant crunch. I'd likely come by again sometime to see what else they have to offer! read more

3.5 stars. I visited this store last week and had the banh mi croissant sandwich for lunch. This is a well-designed but tiny store just west of Dundas Square. No seating at all, takeout only! The sandwich was really good. I didn't get a lot of traditional banh mi flavours but the porchetta was juicy and I enjoyed the pickled veggies on top. Would be 4 stars but the portion was tiny and expensive. Over $10 for a sandwich and coffee, which would be fine if the sandwich wasn't snack-sized. Pastries looked good and I'll probably come back to try them at some point. read more

Creative and unique, this is a little charming bakery. If there were seating, this place would an ideal cosy coffee/ tea spot. Price are a but pricy so i will rate as 3/5 Food/ flavour - 4.5/5 read more

Had a craving for brioche so I walked in to see if they sold it. I bought a loaf (around 7/8 dollars, I don't remember exactly). The outside looked dark, as if overcooked. I sliced it up when I got home and: - the outside was indeed overcooked and a bit hard, unlike everything brioche should be. - the texture of the brioche was good but it wasn't sweet. Traditional brioche is slightly sweet. I was tempted to grab a pastry as well but based on the high price point and the small size, I decided to try the brioche first and I'm kinda glad I did. While everything looks tasty, the price range is a bit of a turnoff for me, especially considering the size of the pastries and if I'm going to be paying 6 dollars for a fancy croissant, I expect the taste to live up to the price but after that brioche, I'm not sure I want to give it a try. read more

Ok so I'll admit I have a soft spot for bakeries, especially patisseries. Butter Baker is a tiny spot located in what was old Chinatown. (When I say old, I mean like the 60s). They serve traditional french pastries. So far I've had the Caramel Almond Brioche, Fig Custard Danish, and the Pear Tart. All were delicious, not 'lardy' or overly sweet. You could easily see and taste the individual layers of the pastry in the danish and tart. The brioche 'cake' had a generous portion of sliced almonds and was also light in texture. The 'bake' in all three was perfect. Price, imo, is reasonable (especially compared to what's available in the Queen west strip). Service friendly, establishment clean. read more

Love the presentation and the architecture of these puff style pastry danishes. I was interested in the raspberry jam which lingers for a few days longer than a visit to this establishment which is take out not dine in. Of special interest was the cookies and banana caramel was sold out. Delightfully I enjoyed the matcha white chocolate cookies because the white chocolate is balanced by the sensibility of green tea. What makes the gluten free plus free run egg delightful is the clean taste. Interesting is the meringue croissant and the continuously changing repertoire of pastry line up. Only point to watch for is moistness of flaky pastry where the traditional unglazed edged pastry is correct it is balanced by the englazed fruit. Not necessary to have dusting sugar unless there is a chance of losing moistness. read more

I had the matcha cake and it was delicious! The bakery is so adorable and I'm a sucker for cool aesthetics. I will say that the selection is not very big and there's not a ton of variation. However, I'll definitely be coming back for the cake! read more

Very cute, Japanese style bakery tucked in amongst other Japanese style bakeries in the Dundas and Bay area. A bit on the pricier side, but the quality of the pastries justify for the prices. The cafe is tiny and there are no tables - just benches. Lots of greenery. Not good for big groups for obvious reasons. It's a good place to stop by after a meal to grab dessert, or to get your fix of Japanese pastries. The matcha cookies were very good. Will definitely be coming back in again to try out more goods. read more

The pastries may be beautiful, but the customer service is lacking logic. I went in to purchase the crème brulee cake/pie for $24.00. I was advised by the staff serving me that the whole cake would be available in half an hour, but a whole already pre-sliced cake was sitting on the counter, which I could purchase if I didn't mind it being sliced. I didn't have time to wait so opted to buy the whole, pre-sliced cake. The manager/owner came out and said I couldn't buy it. If I wanted to buy the pre-sliced cake, it would cost me $4.95 PER SLICE, FOR THE WHOLE CAKE. I tried hard to find the logic in this. Perhaps I am paying for the service of someone who pre-sliced a cake that I didn't want pre-sliced. But because I needed a birthday cake and limited in time, was offered the whole cake by 2 staff members, who seemed to understand the logic, but then told by the manager, I couldn't buy it at the price of a whole cake and would have to wait the half hour. This was early on in the day, so unless they were expecting a mad rush of customers coming in for a slice of this cake within the half hour, the rudeness of this person only made purchasing from PABLO next door, that much better. read more

A few days ago, I saw this cute bakery on Dundas Street and decided to give it a try. I got two croissants. A butter croissant and an almond walnut croissant. Although the price is standard (~$3.5), they are much smaller compared to other regular croissants in Toronto. The croissants here taste ok but I have tasted much better crossiants (say, harbord bakery and Pain Perdu) in Toronto. read more
