Love this spot! Love this as a takeaway cafe and bakery with cookies, cake slices, croissants and soft serve! Bytter baker latte with the Tonka flavoring is really good! I went to check out the cafe in the back today. On average each plate is about 21.50 and Lattes and drinks about 7.50. They had a really refreshing peach matcha! Various plates include smoked salmon, avocado variations on the breakfast plates and also a variety of sweet waffles (I.e. fruit, banana nut, etc) Food is ordered and paid via a QR code scan and served quickly. Overall super tasty and you can also order the baked goods to the table to enjoy. read more

Finally got to try the famous strawberry x vanilla soft serve that everyone bas been posting on IG. Hands down one of the best ice creams I've ever had and I can't believe I've waited this long to try it. The soft serve was light yet creamy and super refreshing on a hot summer day. Very excited to try the other flavours! read more

Butter Baker - Strawberry x Vanilla soft serve - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We were drawn to this place by how amazing it smelled outside and we knew that we had to try it. We came here after dinner and still found room for two treats. We were really impressed with their selection of both pastries, cookies, chocolate bars, beautiful cakes and even soft serve and sorbet. We ended up getting the danish with a Matcha cream and strawberries. Very delicate flavors, the strawberries are perfectly ripe and the pastry it was very flaky. We also tried a caramel banana cookie. You couldn't really taste the banana but the flavour was really lovely and the cookie was crispy and crunchy on the edges and then chewy in the center. I'll be coming back here for sure read more

Cakes... do you like yours light and fluffy, rich and creamy, or moist to the point of wet? I recently visited Butter Baker on Dundas Str W, and tried some of their cakes (available in slices and as a whole as well). I tried: 1. Raspberry & Pistachio 2. Earl Grey 3. Matchamisu Out of the 3, Raspberry & Pistachio was the most rich and creamy, sweet but not too sweet. Interesting flavour. Earl Grey was the sweetest, a bit too much for me as I found it took away the actual taste of the Earl Grey. Matchmisu was perfect for me. It's not bitter - with just a touch of sweetness. Also I like how it's light which is ideal after a full meal. What's your favourite cake? read more

Finally was able to try their soft serve and this updated rating is for that. Waited in line for their strawberry sorbet twist. It was really refreshing and I would go back to try their other fruit sorbets. It is a seasonal thing so get ready to line up for it. Options to get pure fruit sorbet, pure vanilla or a twist for $7.35. I think i'd like to try purely the fruit sorbet because the strawberry one was delicious. it's been a while since i've been here for pastries and i noticed their pastries seemed to be smaller than they used to be. read more

Delicious pastries and love their soft serve ice cream. It's a really small shop so expect a crowd/line after 12pm! read more

I've been looking forward to trying this place since I LOVE ice cream and I really wanted to like this place but it fell below my expectations. Tip: Avoid coming on the weekends if possible, the lines are long! I was able to go on a weekday with no lineup in the evening. We ordered an ice cream twist with passion fruit sorbet and vanilla and 2 slices of cake. It all came together for, what I recall, about $40 including tax. The ice cream looks like an absolute beauty. I thought I'll definitely love it. But personally, I found the passion fruit sorbet too tart and intense of a taste that overwhelms the ice cream part. It does look like quality ingredients, you can see the black bits of vanilla used, but it's a shame that the passion fruit just overpowers it and I don't taste any of it. I usually like tart frozen yoghurt, and this was too much for me. They do rotate the flavour of the month, so hopefully, I'll enjoy the next one more. Our waffle cone had a hole, our ice cream leaked through so we had to rush and finish, leaving my hands sticky. My feedback would be to have staff properly inspect the cones before using them. The cakes are okay though smaller for the price. The pastries look impressive though, too bad there was hardly any left to choose from when I was there. read more

I visited this place recently to try their new Ontario Strawberry and Vanilla Twist soft serve ice cream. The Strawberry flavour was very refreshing and is a must try (only available until June 30th)! The vanilla flavor wasn't anything special in my opinion. The place itself is quite cute, divided into 2 sides, a quaint retail shop on one side, and a cafe on the other. Note that soft serve ice cream is for takeout only. The service here was also good. The staff were friendly and the lines moved at a good pace. read more

I was excited to try this place as I made it my mission to do a matcha food hunt all around the area. The shop was ultra cute and smelled deliciously of butter. I got: Matcha cookie: This was a bit crumbly but had a slightly better matcha flavor to butter flavor ratio than other places, but it was still quite heavy on the butter flavor. I only wish this was less sweet as it was a tad too much for my palate. It's worth noting that I tend to like things less sweet though. Strawberry matcha Danish: This was a bit disappointing as the strawberry jam overpowered the matcha cream, which was likely due to the matcha cream being slightly overbaked so that it was tight/stiff instead of light and gooey. On that note, it needed a more cream to pastry ratio. The danish was crispy, flaky, and everything you'd expect from a beautiful danish though. I'm kicking myself for not trying the matchamisu now as I'm sure that would've been mindblowing (check out the Yelp pictures!) but I'll have to come back and check it out. Perhaps their cakes pack more of a concentrated matcha flavor than their pastries. read more

A nice spot in the yonge dundas area, that is very relaxed and kind of head and near the Eaton Centre. In my opinion, it's a great spot to get a variety of drinks, a dessert, and other delicious items such as a variety of waffles. If you were in the seating area, did you have a policy of a minimum of $10 spend per person but it is not heavily enforced. They also have an interesting ordering system, where you scan a QR code which allows you to make an order and pay directly on your phone and informs the staff of which table to bring items to The atmosphere is quiet, relaxing, and then I have very nice to choir, which makes for a nice spot for a catch-up with your friend read more

Butter Baker's seasonal ice cream encourages me to go there every month, especially in the summer time I tried their strawberry x vanilla ice cream last month which is their seasonal flavor and it tasted so good and fresh! They make it with fresh strawberries and strawberry purée sorbet. They also serve it in a waffle cone, which is a perfect pairing and crispy. It's not cheap, but you get to enjoy the quality. The service is amazing, and there is no need to wait. In addition to the food, they also have their own branded goodies for retail. It's a great place where you can enjoy your meal and after that take a walk in the store. Please note that ice cream is only for take out only. read more

One of my favourite ice creams when I'm around the Yonge/Dundas area! With rotating monthly flavors and a perfect swirl, this is a great way to end your night or treat yourself any time of day. We ordered our cones at the cash register and picked them up at the window outside. Since this was a to-go order we had to eat just standing on the sidewalk as there is no seating. There is a seated section at the back of the store, but I have yet to dine-in. What I got: - Lemon + Vanilla Swirl Final Thoughts: I love a citrus flavor that wasn't too tart as it was balanced out by the sweet vanilla. The ice cream was smooth and looks beautiful too! I'll have to come back to try another flavor and other offerings. read more

Went here to check out thier seasonal ice cream. They rotate the flavour monthly making you want to come and try the new flavour. I was there in July which meant I got to try thier Mango Vanilla swirl soft serve. It was delicious with a really nice touch of little pieces of fresh Mango on top. The wait is long be prepared and unfortunately they were having issues with the machine over heating causing the wait to be even longer. Inside is a cute small bakery atmosphere with a boutique with some great gift ideas l. read more

First time at the downtown location and it's the only location that sells brunch. Which I need to come back for. It was the ice cream we were after. And it was so good! It was not busy on a Friday afternoon at noon. It's a very cute space that have used for both cafe and store selling assorted home things. They also sell some speciality syrups. read more

Visited Butter Baker after dinner, and the smell of baked goods was so strong we could smell it outside the closed door! Their pastries are really aesthetic and delicious, but we opted to get the soft serve for this visit. The fresh fruit flavour changes every month, but I really loved the mango sorbet. It tasted like a mango slush that you would get at a bubble tea store. The vanilla soft serve is creamy, but there are definitely cheaper options at other stores. The store is a bit small, and could only take four people at a time. The staff were very friendly and helpful with the questions we had about the ice cream! Verdict: Can't wait to come back next month and try the next fresh fruit flavour! read more

Ive been DYING to come to butter baker. They kept popping up on my IG and i went because all their desserts looked so beautiful. I love when a restaurant/bakery has items that are just as aesthetic as advertised. The cakes were gorgeous and the ice cream has EVERY PERFECT SWIRL. The matcha raspberry danish was 10/10, I thought the danish was flakey and airy, while the matcha was not too heavy or too sweet. And of course this combo is a classic. Their cakes were overall 4/5 for me. I thought the cakes were kind of dry? But each cake had cream that was amazing. My favorite was the blueberry lemon. Its hard to have blueberry shine as its own flavor, but Butter Baker did a great job and the lemon only accented and complemented with a slight tartness. I also didnt think the raspberry and pistachio combo worked out :/ The soft serve was also 10/10. I was really bummed about missing the fruity summer flavors and Im weary of chocolate soft serve tbh. But their chocolate/coffee caramel combo was so good!! The flavors worked well together and it wasn't HEAVY, I was really surprised! The toasted marshmallow was also a nice touch read more

Dropped by craving some dessert and spotted the Raspberry and Vanilla Swirl. It's a small shop with the ice cream only being available as a to-go item. This ended up being one of the better ice creams I've had in a while. It wasn't dense and was certainly "not too sweet." The taste of the raspberry came through just enough, although it was probably in part because of the vanilla keeping it from being overwhelming. Overall, this was a great quick dessert and I recommend checking this place out. read more

Walking into this petit patisserie, I swooned from the aromas of butter, sugar, and baking pastries. We got the tiramisu ice cream and a slice of earl grey cake. Both were incredibly delicious. The earl grey butter cream icing has a rich milk tea flavour. The cake layers are moist and lightly raspberry tasting. The tiramisu is kind of deconstructed and all of the parts are delicious alone or spooned together. It's worth a stop if you want a treat and happen to be around city hall, the hospitals, or AGO. They only allow 2 customers at a time as of today so it might be worth ogling the menu online before walking in or calling in for a pickup if you don't have a lot of time. read more

A bit on the pricier side but they do not mess around with the quality. I was craving ice cream suddenly so I decided to come here after work and lined up for quite a bit because the store was small and so they allowed a certain number of people to be inside while there was a line outside. I got their mango x vanilla soft serve and when I took a few steps outside after ordering it, the ice cream started to melt so fast. I did enjoy the strong mango flavour and could tell they they used real mango/mango puree. Note to self is to ask for more napkins if I do buy it again next time haha. Their cookies are also good, the cake slices are yummy but also a bit pricy (as I mentioned hehe). read more

I've gotten this twice in week because it's that good. Each month in the summer (I'm not sure if it's year round), they come out with a new fruity soft serve sorbet and this month it's their blueberry cassis flavour and it's quite possible the best dessert I've ever had. It's sooo smooth, amazing flavour, stunning to look at and it's the best thing to have on a hot summer day. The first time I had it, I got it as a swirl with their vanilla soft serve and the vanilla was good but I'd recommended getting the sorbet, which is what I got the second round. read more

Every summer they have different flavour soft serve, each month being a different flavour. You can choose the flavour of the month, vanilla, or a mix of both.

On a pleasant summer day, we preferred walking after a meal and skipping dessert at the restaurant we were at so that we can go for a small dessert. The kids went inside for their choice and knew what I could have. They picked for themselves a Tiramisu, a Mango Cheesecake, a Strawberry Cheesecake and a Cherry Sorbet in a cup for me. I normally hate anything to do with Cherry Flavour - candies, coke, medicine etc. Was truly disappointed at first as this was the only vegan thing at a store called Butter Baker. I truly expected zero things for me. I had one spoon of the sorbet and it was as if somebody had puréed fresh sweet cherries and given to me. Frozen and exactly the amount of sugar sweetness in fresh cherries. It felt as if there was nothing added or removed from fresh cherries. The family loved each and every dessert they bought, that's all I can say. Each and every one of them. read more

Great soft serve ice cream. This place is very popular and there was a line out onto the sidewalk. No indoor or outdoor seating. The line moves quickly enough. I was there late in the evening and pickings were slim. Vanilla or vanilla/mango swirl in a cup. They were out of waffle cones. Can$6.50 for cup of soft serve. read more

Really good selection of unique and decadent cake selection. We tried the birthday cake and matchamisu and both were great. It was decadent without being overtly sweet just the way I like it. We also tried the soft serve flavor of the week which were strawberry rhubarb and mascarpone. Which were perfectly complementary to each other. It's in a middle of a very busy area with lots of Asian food options in the area. Would be fun to explore! read more

Had the smoked salmon croissant (pretty good), fresh berry waffles (compote a little too sweet for my liking), oat milk latte. It was a solid breakfast/brunch spot.

Must try during the summer! Their fruit sorbet flavors are so refreshing and so good paired with the house made waffle cone! Location is a bit small with no room for dine in, but it's super close to the Eaton Centre so it's nice to walk around while eating a treat! They also have a large variety of baked goods which are super tasty and a good option in the colder months of the year read more

A small, yet seemingly very popular little store. After seeing such cute pictures of the ice cream twist, I knew I had to try it for myself. I went and got the pink guava twist and it was absolutely gorgeous, but to be completely honest, it was a little underwhelming. Their ice cream machine also seemed to be having some trouble after me so be warned! Also tried the pear tart which wasn't bad but again was lacking just lil bit. The cake and cookies looked incredible though so might give those a try next time! read more

This place is for people who don't know better. The sales person built a tip 20% for herself into my total, which was NEW. But then the machine asked to put another tip on top of that (!) Is this normal now?? Anyway, for nearly $11 takeout (a bag of vanilla cookies $4.99, and one croissant $2.98), I was hopeful that this place would live up to its Butter Baker name since actual butter cookies and croissants are so rare and hard to get right. Unfortunately, these were instantly forgettable--no sense of buttery-ness in either of these STAPLE butter baked goods. The croissant had ok flakiness, but no flavour. The cookies were all dry crumble, almost no flavour of butter either. These people need to either curate better suppliers or be better bakers that actually use the full compliment of butter in the recipes, with a name like that. read more

Picked up two cakes recently for a family event: Matchamisu and The Earl Grey. The Earl Grey was already made and the other options at the time didn't peak my interest. I called early to have them put it aside for me. I was considering just one cake but it worked out that they could make the Matchamisu and have it ready for me when I picked it up within 4 hours. I left with two cakes. These 8" cakes were $49.50 each. Quite steep, in my opinion. On the phone I asked if they could write on the cake and they mentioned it's usually requested 24 hours in advance. Not sure why...? Overall, the flavours in both cakes were evident but not strong enough to fulfil its purpose. Perfect texture and designed nicely. read more

Came by this place yesterday with a friend because I was craving some good cake and this was one of the few places that had what I was looking for. They have a nice selection of cakes and pastries, but we chose to try a slice of the Raspberry & Pistachio and the Dalgona Coffee cakes. Raspberry & Pistachio: I really liked this one. It's not overly sweet but sweet enough. I just wish it was a little more spongy bc it seemed like there was more cream than actual cake. But it was still quite delicious! Dalgona Coffee: This one was very tasty as well. It does have a stronger taste of coffee and it is less sweet so if you don't like coffee then that may be something to consider before getting this slice. Personally, I liked the contrast of flavour compared to the raspberry & pistachio so I enjoyed it! The only thing is I wish they had seating inside. We had to find somewhere else to sit to eat the cakes. So overall would give this place a 4/5. read more
