A nice shop for bakery. I like their pear tart, and matchamisu. Apple pie is also good. Gâteau Basque is a bit too sweet for me. In general, it's a good place if you want some danish, or croissant or pie. read more

Great desserts, not the absolute best I've had, but sufficient for Valentine's Day. Tiramisu is super good. Check it out!

I love soft serve and was glad to try it here as they do a swirl of their vanilla and monthly fruit sorbet flavor. It was delicious! This month it was a blueberry flavor and loved the combination of the tarteness with the sweet vanilla. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will come back next month to try the new fruit flavor. Took off one star because $7+ for a cone of ice cream is pretty expensive read more

The shop is very cute. Like a more green Butter Avenue. I bought three croissants. I had the pork croissant and it was very flaky, soft and delicious. Due to pricing this is definitely a special occasion or fancy croissants time for me. read more

Very tasty. Got the ginger molasses cookie and it was delicious. There were many other items that looked tasty but overall it was a bit pricey which is why im not giving a 5 star read more

Loved that I walked into a French patisserie. The pastries looked amazing, the lovely smell of all the baked goods and very reasonable prices!! Definitely would go back read more

I came upon this shop randomly. Originally I wanted to get a slice of cheese tart from Pablo (unfortunately they don't believe in takeout for a slice of cheese tart). So I went next door to Butter Baker. First thing you notice is how good this place smells! I got a kiwi danish to go (yay for takeout), and went home to try it. It tasted heavenly, not too sweet, I dislike sugar overload. The puff pastry is well layered and taste very fresh. The cheese in the danish is soft. The demi glaze is smooth, and the kiwi also tasted fresh. You can tell they use good ingredients. And they take credit card. read more

Visited this cute bakery a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised by the large selection of pastries available. I tried the ice cream of the month which was the hazelnut flavour. The taste was great but the only drawback I would say is that it is falsely advertised since the pictures on their Instagram show a lot of caramel drizzle whereas in real life they barely put any caramel on. Also it comes in a butter cone which is delicious but can be a bit messy once you get to the bottom as the ice cream leaks out. They also have a wide varieties of pastries, cakes and cookies which I will try the next time I visit. Overall a great place for a quick bite downtown. read more

Butter Baker - Hazelnut and vanilla swirl ice cream - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Ice cream selections are amazing! Love their monthly specials. Always such a beautiful twist. Tried a few of their cakes from time to time as well. So pretty to look at and very yummy! On the pricey side, but it's a nice treat. Their interior is very nice and clean, and has nice walls for photos! read more

Butter Baker - Mango vanilla twist - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Saw the reviews and came by here to purchase some pastries for my co workers. The staff was really friendly and patient with my big order and even wrapped it nicely for me. My co workers were raving about the croissants (butter and almond walnut) and cookies (triple chocolate and milk), how they're SO fresh, flaky and buttery. I've also gotten great feedback about their strawberry vanilla danish and messy bun. If you prefer a fresh and crispy taste to your pastries, get them when they're straight out of the oven! I've overheard their summer sorbets are amazing as well! There's something called Baker's Latte but I haven't tried yet, but planning to head back and give it a shot in my next visit! read more

Delicious pastries and great ice cream! I love keeping up with their monthly flavours and it's great that they use local ingredients! read more

Butter Baker - Blueberry sorbet for the month of August! - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Tried their strawberry ice cream and it was quite delicious and refreshing! The presentation was so adorable and appealing. Will be back to try their other flavours :) read more

I had the Valentine Cake (lemon/raspberry), it was fantastic. Location is a little hard to find, I walked past it the first time. Cake case was a little empty the day I was there, but the pastry case was packed and looked great. read more

Strawberry sorbet swirl with vanilla bean ice cream is pretty incredible. Maybe the best strawberry flavour I've ever had in a frozen dessert, would highly recommend! read more

I tried a slice of their apple pie, strawberry, and lemon meringue croissant, and they're absolutely delicious! I also love their small shop concept and the colorful yellow theme. The staff is also very patient, friendly, and helpful! especially when I have questions on my first visit Definitely going to come back to try some other pastries they have! read more

Genuine French bakery. Quality ingredients. Employees with expertise and excellent social skills. Food as it should be prepared and served. Clean. Delightful place read more

I've been here several times for different things and I think I've had enough from here to not go back. Their desserts and store are super instagram worthy but everything misses the mark. Basically anything with matcha just looks like it is but doesn't taste like it. Especially the strawberry matcha danish. The danish dough is great except for the matcha. It does not taste like matcha. With and without the strawberries on top, there is no matcha flavour. If it was just a strawberry danish, that would be great. I would rather not pay for matcha that isn't there. I've had tried the matchamisu and blueberry lemon cakes from here and they're just average. Matchamisu was nothing special and was more sweet than it had matcha flavour. Blueberry lemon, well, it's on par with the cakes you can get at the grocery store. Beignets - I tried the lemon one. 80% overly sweet lemon curd, 15% pastry, 5% air. Really disappointing. I wish I got a Timbit instead. Timbits have better ratios than this. Soft serve - wow, it's pretty and looks great for the gram especially with the nice backdrop at the front of the shop but it is so sweet, it was hard to eat more than 5 bites. I had the guava soft serve and it was like I was drinking guava cocktail with 5 tablespoons of sugar on top of it. I wish they were more genuine in terms of flavour and less sugar-coated (literally). I wish the lemon was more tart, matcha actually taste like matcha (there is a difference between sweetened matcha and sweet green coloured filling), and guava more guava and less sugar. Guava is already sweet, there is no need to add 4 litres of sugar. McDonald's does better ice cream than this. read more

We first got introduced to Butter Baker's cakes at a children's birthday party. The pink birthday cake and the chocolate cake. It's hard to find a good cake these days and they were both great! I usually don't like white confetti cakes but the birthday cake was good and not too sweet and a good ratio of cake and icing. A few days later we ordered the chocolate one for a birthday at home. Loss of a star because they didn't have any shopping bags for my cake to take home so I was lugging the box back to my office and on the subway home. Would have liked a bag. But my parents were very happy with the cake and we could taste the real chocolate and quality ingredients. I'll return to try their other offerings. read more

I love Butter Baker! Everything here is phenomenal and I always find an excuse to come here every weekend whether or not I want to. The ingredients used are such high quality and you can really taste the difference between Butter Baker vs elsewhere. Their matchamisu and birthday cakes are my absolute favorite. I also love their waffle cones and vanilla soft serve. The pumpkin pie is delicious as well. I didn't love their cookies and thought they were just standard and nothing to write home about. Customer service is ok, could be friendlier. read more

Everything is so gooooood here!!!!!! My favourite is matchamisu, hope they will open more stores !!!!!

Walked by this place yesterday, and was drawn in by the display of fresh pastries from the window display. The zen of this pastry shop is like walking into a high end jewellery shop, very bright and airy. We tried the regular croissant which was perfectly crispy, and the pear tart which has half of a pear baked right in with the stem. I can't wait to try more now that I know about Butter Baker. read more

Delightful in all ways. This is a beautifully designed pastry shop in a Japenese style with French baked goods. A very welcome addition to a neighbourhood filled with Starbucks and the like. Great drop-in spot, although no room for seating. The tarts are fantastic, the coffe is delicious, and the service is super-friendly. The croissants look authentic (haven't tried them yet). read more

It's not worth for the price. I had the coconut cake and I felt like eating pure butter. After eating a few bites, I was already sick of eating it. My husband had chocolate cake and it was pretty good. We had 2 small bottles of Perrier and 2 cakes, and it costed $22! Their seatings were awkwardly high for a chair or a bench. It was uncomfortable. read more

ok and trendy white-pink bright setting but waaay too small croissants and waaay overpriced... small croissants tend to rapidly dry up and that was the case with the ones I had... all these fancy combinations of croissants and creams or fruits are ok but mainly to look for... other pastries are ok and i may try a few others (but will keep looking elsewhere for my croissants) ps= ok not that pink... more white light brown with a feeling of pink and several words on posters in pink, sir. i do not confound with another bakery........ read more

Love this place!!! Especially the smoked salmon croissant and pork belly bun. It's a tad bit pricey but worth the moneyyy

It's my favourite danish pastry store in Toronto ever! They have many alternatives and options of very tasty and crunchy danish! I love them so very much and could never be tired of exploring more favours they offer! read more

Amazing bakery. You can smell the butter when you walk in. I have the vanilla strawberry cream croissant - and it might be one of the best pastries I've ever had!! read more

My friend and I were excited to check out Butter Avenue's sister store Butter Baker! We got there at 6pm on a Friday so some items were already sold out. We both got the Porchetta Bahn Mi, and it was so delicious! We were both like "wow"! The pork inside was tender too, which I didn't expect from a bakery. I also got the Croissant Roulee which is a croissant with a crisp layer of brown sugar on the outside, and that was so good too. You can taste the texture of the croissant 'layers', if you know what I mean. Note that there are no seating available at the store. It's takeout to go. Overall, I recommend this place and will definitely be back to try other items! read more

OMG do yourself a solid and get the lemon meringue croissant. You'll be so happy that you did!

I came here and got the heart shaped pastry, which was probably a Valentine's Day special. It was good and didn't taste oily at all, as it usually does with baked goods. Will definitely return to try their other pastries! read more

Way too expensive. Their bakeries are good but it's way too expensive. It's not something I will eat or buy everyday. Perhaps I'll drink with Hong Kong bakeries read more

Tried out the matcha, earl grey and chocolate pastries - all are awesome! Also had the Danish roll with figs. Really recommended

I came across this place this afternoon and apparently they just opened a few days ago. The pastries are tasty but I find a bit expensive (I ordered apple pie, strawberry matcha croissant and pear tart), still worth trying if you ask me. I was told that they offer complementary coffee for every purchase this week so definitely worth checking out. read more

OMG..i love their dessert. I always been a fan, a hard core one. They trained their staff really well, very patient, always serve me with a smile and a warm welcome read more

So far have tried: Cakes: Double chocolate, pumpkin spice, smores, matcha tiramisu but my fav is the lemon blueberry, just the right level of sweetness/tartness Croissants: Prosciutto banh-mi, pork belly, pear tart, strawberry vanilla, berry danish, chocolate roulee, best is the lemon meringue which is like a burnt marshmallow on top. Really like how the pastries stay flaky and never soggy even with all the fruits. Price is decent for a downtown shop (except for the juices which are like $10), buy 6 or more items and they pay the tax. Store is clean and bright plus staff is always friendly, even when there is a line-up around lunchtime it moves reasonably fast, definitely more enjoyable than the cheese tarts next door. read more

Definitely a great bakery/pastry place to have on Dundas West. I had a chance to try their danishes and croissants - definitely one of the best ones in Toronto. The store staff are friendly and the store has a pleasant vibe for customers. I would definitely go back to grab a pastry when I'm around next time. read more

From the first bite you know you are going to love whatever you are eating. The tooth feel and the pastry's crunch betrays the butter and the skill that made it. The veggie quiche was rich and creamy while the porchetta displayed the best of the salty pork and the buttery pastry. The pear Danish was the best Danish my mothet-in-law has eaten in her 90 years on the planet! read more

I went to Butter Baker in September for an ice cream. While I was in line to order, a woman rushed inside saying she'd been eating her ice cream in the street when the cone broke in her hands, and could she have another and get cleaned up. I figured she must have been gripping it extra hard or something, but sure enough, as soon as I was about to take my first bite of my own ice cream, before I'd even left the store, the cone snapped and ice cream went everywhere. The staff made me a new cone and explained that they make their own cones in-house and these ones must have not been baked long enough. They gave me a cup and spoon to take along, just in case it happened again. Good thing they did, because the cone snapped about a block away from Butter Baker. I awkwardly put it in the cup they gave me but ended up with ice cream all over my hands which was a sticky mess. I guess I should have known better and got it in a cup after the first incident, but I much prefer my ice cream in cones and (foolishly!) decided to try my luck. I've read some reviews and other people seem to have experienced the same problem with the cones in the past. I think it's great that they make their own, but clearly they need to tweak their recipe as this keeps happening. The ice cream itself was their flavour of the month, cantaloupe, which was...odd. I love cantaloupe on its own but as an ice cream, it just tasted not quite right. Not to mention, the ice cream isn't cheap at $7 a pop. Giving 2 stars because the place itself is cute and the staff were super friendly, but I wouldn't go back. read more

The space is light, airy, and welcoming, and the pastries all look good. Staff are friendly. I had a pork belly croissant pastry thing. It wasn't small, but it wasn't big either. Nothing wrong with it, exactly, but it didn't exactly blow me away: it had been in the oven a minute too long for my taste, so the outside was still OK, but en route to being burned, and the pork belly inside wasn't particularly flavourful nor did it have a pleasing texture. If the pastry had cost a dollar or two less, I would be less critical, but it was $5. Still, I ate the whole thing, and I didn't entirely regret my choice. If Butter Baker was the only game in town, I would be back for sure, but there's plenty of competition downtown. read more
