My friend had treated me to a lychee puff from this place and it was so good. Even though I ate it the next day, it was still very yummy. It had candied lychee bits with cream inside and it was a good filling to shell ratio. On my own visit I tried the durian cheese bun. Originally I wanted to get the dragon fruit bun as advertised on their sign outside on the sidewalk but it was not available. At almost $8 a bun, it was on the expensive side but it was a big portion. It also looked pretty. The buns were already prepackaged. It had a good amount of durian and cheese flavor and the bun was so soft. However I don't think I would get it again for the price. The cream puffs at $2.50 was a much better deal and a satisfying treat. read more

This little place is located right on Yonge. I was passing by and looked in. They have a lot of interesting choices. I got the Lychee Puff. It was really good - the pasty and the filling were just right amount of sweetness with lychee pieces scattered in the pastry. They have cheese buns in different flavours that I did not get to try this time. Those look good. There is a dragon fruit bun which looks quite big. I am getting that next time. Service is quiet and friendly. read more

I really enjoyed my pastry here! While I've actually tried a few flavors, their "Signature Austrian Cheese Bun" is my favorite. The bun portion in light and fluffy; the cheese portion is rich and creamy with the perfect amount of sweetness. They offered other interesting desserts, but I couldn't try them, even though I really wanted to. This located in an area with a ton of other food offerings so this can be part of your very own food tour through Yonge Street. I'd definitely return for the Austrian Cheese Bun and try one of the other dessert offerings. read more

I'm a sucker for durian dessert and so here's the verdict on the durian cheese bun: it works quite well! The slight savory taste from the cream cheese adds an extra dimension to the sweetness from the durian, creating a nice complement. Beware thou if you are not used to durian, you are dealing with two very pungent ingredients (mostly the durian, less so the cheese) here. Opening up the packaging, the smell will either have you running for the door or draw you in for a taste. Apologies to the lady beside me on the TTC....don't think she's a fan. My only criticism is that there isn't quite enough fillings in the bun. read more

Cheese Baker - Durian cheese bun - this thing is over $8 - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Delish cheese buns, i got the durian and sweet potato. The buns were super soft and had the perfect balance of flavouring and cheese. It is pricy but worth the treat once in a while. I also got the cream puffs but only ate them the day after so it wasn't that good. Need to come back for the puffs and try them on the same day; the filling was good though. read more

My order: Original, Soy, mango & sweet potato Originally, I tried to get 2 buns for pick up in Scarborough last year. I filled out an online form and waited with baited breath. The delivery date came and went. Nothing. That left me pretty upset. This past weekend, I drove by their store and grabbed 4 buns. Obviously, parking is hard to find downtown. The original bun was *so* tasty. The mango bun was my second favorite. In the future, I might try my luck again for a Richmond Hill pick up/delivery. Very delicious but I'm not sure it's worth a trip downtown. Maybe they're better about replying to wechat messages. read more

Location/Service This little shop is along Yonge St - in between Bloor and Wellesley, easily accessible by TTC. Limited street parking is available - couldn't detect if there are other parking available. The shop is very small - no seating available (i.e. buy-and-go). Simple and bright decor - I do like how they leverage windows to bring in natural lightning that highlight/showcase their bakery products. Serving staff was nice and made recommendations since I had no idea what to order or how their products are made. Food Ended up ordering a seasonal Durian Cheese Bun (~$6). Price wise seems reasonable, as it is quite huge in size (almost a slice of a pizza). This flavour has the same basis of their original cheese bun, which has a vanilla/cream cheesy interior - but adding real durian pieces that makes it extra creamy/mushy on the inside. The durian doesn't overpower the cheese and can still distinctly divide the outer layer of the bread, which is thick but soft to chew on. I really enjoyed the combo and the bread overall. It does get a little messy to eat since it's cheese filling (suggest getting a fork if you don't want your hands dirty), but they have it nicely packaged so you can eat it anywhere and easily take it with you. The staff (assume owner) mentioned that they are in the works of opening another location near STC area - looking forward to it as it will be a more convenient location for me! read more

I've been walking by this place so many times thinking I would give it a try. I finally did so in November last year and tried the durian cheese bun. The reason why I put only one star is because the employee came in from the back and was using a Kleenex to wipe or blow his nose. He placed it in a hidden place on the counter, assuming, I guess, that I did not see. He also did not wash his hands before serving me. Luckily, if I can say so, he did not touch the bun with his bare hands as it was already packaged in the plastic. He did seal it with a sticker though. I still gave the bun a try. I was expecting more of a cake experience vs a bread experience. Which I should have known better as this place is supposed to be a 'bakery'. I really enjoyed the nice durian flavour and texture but the bun / bread piece was a bit too boring for me. It was more like eating bread with parts of cheesy durian. Also, I thought it was overpriced for the quality and taste level. To my point of view, you can have a way better use if your money. Will not come back. read more

Cheese Baker - Durian cheese bun - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Been wanting to try this place for a while cuz ive heard of it years ago in hk. And now its in toronto! But its location wasnt somewhere i usually hang in, and i happened to be able to make a run. Cant miss the big sign on yonge. Green P right across the street. What I ordered: Original cheese bun Chocolate cheese bun Sweet potato and charcoal cheese bun Original cheese puff Matcha cheese puff Lychee cheese puff Hmmm! Everything tasted great. But its ure not a fan of cream cheese, then this is not ur place! I loved their filling, especially the lychee flavour. I liked the bun more than the puff. Mainly cuz the pastry of the puff was so soft and not fluffy. Didnt seem like it raise much. But i also wouldnt heat it up cuz the filling might melt. Hence, knocked of a star. But i would recommend it you love cream cheese. Amazing flavours! read more

If I could give zero stars I would but this is the lowest Yelp allows. I love supporting local businesses and this is the first time I've decided to write such an awful review of one. The conversation between myself and an employee (or owner) of Cheese Baker TO on instagram is posted below. They are a shady business and tried to make $5 on delivery fee when I would have happily tipped more in that amount. Then after confirming the order, giving me an outrageous self pick up window of between 2-6pm with a 30min "heads up" they "missed my order". How could they have missed an order that was confirmed just the night before? Worst part is that they gave me a list of what was customers addresses so I could go to their house to pick up. That seems like an invasion of privacy to have someone random show up at your house. I am beyond shocked that this is how a business choose to treat their customers. I will never order from them again. read more

I was so excited to know that Guschlbauer opened their first North American location here in Toronto! I missed the chance to try these Austrian quarter cheese buns when I was in Hong Kong. So, I couldn't miss this opportunity during their soft opening with a 20% off promotion. Their cute little shop is conveniently located on Yonge and Bloor and is hard to miss with their bright yellow signage. Currently, they offer the original, chocolate, strawberry and mango flavour for their cheese buns, fresh fruit slush and a few flavours for cream puffs. As I was deciding what to order at the counter, I could see their chef filling each quarter bun with loads of cream cheese in front of me. That tells me they really don't skim out on their fillings in their buns. And seeing all the fresh mangoes on 'display', I just had to try out their mango cheese bun. To my expectation, it was filled with creamy mango flavoured cream cheese and mango chunks. The taste wasn't overly sweet which I especially like. The bun was also soft and spongy and actually not hard and dry like I thought it was. I also enjoy the fact that I could eat these cheese buns 2 ways. I could either reheat them in the microwave for 10 seconds to have an oozing lava effect or refrigerate them for a bit to get an ice cream cake kind of result. The staff took some time to explain to me the origin of their recipe and that they were still trying to fine tune their products and services before they officially launch.I appreciated their sincerity and commitment on their new business and as a start up, I think they deserve a lot of encouragement to be able to survive in such a competitive Toronto market. And for this reason, I gave them a 5-star. I hope to see them perfect their cheese buns and I'd be willing to come back and try out other flavours and their cream puffs. read more

Guschlbauer's cream puff is good. I love my Matcha Cream Puff ($2.49) and it was perfect snack to go with my coffee. The pastry itself was buttery went well with the cheesy creamy filling.

I finally got to try the Austrian Guschlbauer buns! I've heard about this bun-hype from Hong Kong but never got a chance to try it. Now that it opened its first location in North America, I finally got to grab some for myself! It's located at Yonge and Bloor and it was easy to find because their logo and shop front is bright yellow. There was a big line up when I arrived because they're doing a soft opening discount - 20% off. I'd recommend: * Mango bun (maybe a personal preference because I like mangos) * Original bun * Chocolate cream puff * Green tea cream puff Note: These buns are huge and filling! I think one bun is actually ok to share between two people.. unless you're really hangry. I bought a bunch of buns to try to make my wait worth-while. I reaaaally wanted to try the sweet potato flavour bun! I think they have it available in Hong Kong right now, I hope they have it at this location soon :) read more

Working close to Yonge-Bloor has its benefits. One of those benefits being that you get to see the development of the street and buildings along with the stores that are opening. Based on the name, I would not have guessed it had an Asian influence. However, it is very apparent when you see the product itself. Arrived closer towards closing for their soft launch. The most popular flavours were the original (which was sold out) and the mango. Didn't have a choice so I decided to opt for the mango. The bread has a great moisture and elasticity to it. In between the bread you get the soft velvety cream cheese. Along with the cream cheese there were surprise mango chunks which was nice. Definitely reminds you of a cheesecake, but reality does sink in that at the end of the day it's just bread. Taste is definitely 4/5 Price is 2/5, expensive for what you get, would feel fair at half the price. read more

I hate to say it - Guschlbauer is definitely overrated. I visited the shop on its soft opening day because of the discounts, but it still cost me more than 10 dollars (for 2 pieces of bread). The bread itself was hard and flat & it hardly tastes like how it looks like. As for the cheese...come on, of course it tastes nice on a piece of bread. It is the exact same thing with bagels & cream cheese or any other combination of cheese and bread. Since Guschlbauer did not impress me in any respect, I do not think I'll be back for another visit unless they have done something revolutionary. Also, I do not like how it is marketed as "Austrian cheese buns" while it has nothing to do with the country. I thought it's from China? Why don't they just market themselves as Chinese cheese buns? I hope the false marketing was not the result of cultural degradation (to both Chinese & Austrian). read more

The food is great. But to sum.it all up, it's essentially a quarter of a super soft round load of bread spread with flavoured cream cheese. Also it says 5 layers but I'm not sure what the layers are supposed to be. I guess they are counting the horizonal cuts in the bread. Don't get me wrong. I loved it, bit it was kind of pricy for what it was. If I was in the neighborhood I may consider buying another one. I had the strawberry, and it was really delicious. But once again, it was like a super soft chunk of bread spread with strawberry cream cheese. read more

@guschlbauerto originated from Australia is popular for their cheese buns and cream puffs . Original is definitely the best I'd say, ordering the classic item is the safest way when trying new place . I ordered original cheese bun and sweet potato cheese bun (who says I'm just getting one?!) . Original definitely taste better cuz it's creamier and sweeter, the sweetness is at the level that balances out the cream cheese . Sweet potato I wouldn't recommend it's an interesting flavour but it doesn't matches the flavour of the cream cheese . The cream cheese filling was separated jn two layers and coated on two sides on the cutting edges. However, you'll figure there's not enough cream cheese at the back when you're almost finished so last few bites were kinda dry. I wish they have coated the top as well to make every bite tastes the cream cheese.. read more

I have to update my review because the last TWO times I came was disappointing. I loved it the first 3-4x I went. Recently, I raved about it to a few others and brought them here. It was horribly dry and stale. We arrived on a weekday in the afternoon. This has happened twice. I don't think I'd risk coming back for a stale bun because the price is quite high to begin with. read more

Did not no what to say when I found out that Guschlbauer has been issued to closed because of "gross unsanitary conditions" and "failed to ensure food is not contaminated/adulterated" That is CRAZY as I have been a loyal customer that goes to this bakery for their amazing bread. I am very disappointed and would probably not go back every again!

I tried this place for the first time because I was in the area and I have to say that I'm a fan. I tried the mango quarter cheese bun. The texture of the bun is similar to any soft Chinese-style bakery bun, but the mango cream was so smooth. For people who are nervous about the cheese aspect- I would have to say that it only tastes minorly cheesey. I would say the primary note is the mango cream. I would come back to try another, or to try a puff. read more

What I got: Lychee drink & Passionfruit Mango bun ($9.90) promo, Passionfruit slush and Sweet potato bun ($9.90) Pros: - Was walking down Yonge street and saw this summer promotion, it was pretty worth it since the drinks are usually $6.20 and the buns are $5.80. - I was watching them make the drinks and it looks like they use fresh ingredients, they took halved Passionfruit and scooped it into the blender and the Lychee drink had small slivers of Lychee inside. - The Lychee drink was not too sweet and had a delicious flavour, the whipped cream was not used too heavily. Passionfruit slush wasn't too sour. - The Passionfruit Mango bun was pretty good and tasted better than the Sweet Potato. It had a floral flavour to it and the taste was stronger. - Make sure you grab a thick straw for both these drinks because they are quite thick. - Took a variety of payment options- Amex, major credit cards and Ali pay Cons: - My friend didn't like the Passionfruit slush as much as the Lychee drink because of the seeds, unless you swallow them, they interrupt the soft slush with their hardness. - No seating area, this is a grab and go restaurant, they give you everything in nicely packaged bags for you to eat at your office or park. - The Sweet Potato bun has a charcoal bread, which tends to be flavourless, the buns in general have the consistency of a bagel with fancy cream cheese. I would say we enjoyed the drinks more. read more

Indulgent, in terms of both calories and price, but tasty and worth a try. I had the original, which is a soft bread filled (over-filled, really) with something that shares a family with cheesecake filling and cream cheese frosting. It was pretty delicious and I'd love to try the chocolate and mango as well. The attendant was really nice and helpful as well. read more

This place is really small, there is no seating as this location is for a take-and-go type of thing. They specialize in cheese buns but I was not really in the mood for that so I decided on getting the puffs - got the original and matcha puffs. The thing is that I am not a fan of cheese in delicacies but I still wanted to try it. I gave two of them to my friends to try and only took a small bite out of the matcha one. The friend that had the original enjoyed it and my other friend who got the matcha also said it was really good. For me, since I am not a fan of these things, was hoping that this would change my thoughts on cheese sweets but my opinion still stayed the same. The matcha puff was infused with matcha flavor, which was good! In total, I'd give this more of a 3.5 rating since my friends liked it and the service was good and quick. read more

It's an interesting sweet bun - definitely good to try out once, but probably not something I'd want to eat frequently. It's cheesy in the centre, which results in a slightly gooey and messy eating experience. I chose to go with the plain/vanilla flavour and was quite pleased with the flavour, it's slightly sweet, the texture itself is like a creamy bread, but with hints of cheese. The flavour and texture is probably not for everyone, since the mix can be quite jarring. I can't quite imagine some of the other flavours which could result in even more odd combinations. The store itself is tiny and others have mentioned, there is no seating, you just grab and go. The buns themselves are also quite expensive, but given the quality of ingredients and craftsmanship that goes in, I suppose that makes up for the difference. I've seen it around on Instagram lots, but the hype doesn't quite live up to its taste and value, so I don't think I'll be back in the near future. read more

Cute little spot for a grab & go dessert. Beware that it's very, very, very small--there are no spots to sit in, not even washrooms. Nevertheless, you can always stuff your face with dessert at home, so nobody is complaining. I popped in to try the infamous cheese buns (Durian flavour) & the lychee cream puff. The cheese buns are $7.80 per slice (OUCH). That said, the "slice" can safely feed three people. The lychee puff was $2.49. The cheese buns are AMAZING! They're melt-in-your-mouth soft! The filling is ricotta & cream cheese, plus whichever flavour you choose. The way the buns are filled is actually genius. The bun itself is sliced horizontally in the middle and the filling is smothered between the layers. There were generous chunks of durian in between--enough to satisfy my cravings. The cream puffs, on the other bad, were slightly disappointing. The puff itself looked a little flat--meaning the pastry chefs aren't very generous with the filling. The lychee filling was cream & chunks of lychee. The cream filling was the same as the one used in the buns. Overall impression? Prices are definitely up there, but the quality is pretty good. I personally don't think the cream puffs are worth it for the amount of filling you get. I will be returning to try other flavours of the cheese buns!!! read more

Supposedly there are 5 layers of cheese, cut it open, and it was only 2. Very pricey for what you are getting. It tastes OKAY, not good not bad, basically nothing special. At $5-7 a piece, keep the change in your pocket. I have given the 20% discount card to the garbage. Even at 20% off, it's not worth it. I especially didn't appreciate how they increased the price during their soft opening, to only lower it during their grand opening. Which means they weren't doing ANY type of promotion during their soft opening. Very deceiving. Extremely poor business model and management. Service was also not exceptional which just adds to the disappointment. read more

The cheese buns look way better in pictures than it tastes. There was nothing special about it....feel like I could make something similar at home for a fraction of the cost. It was a piece of bread that they spread creamy cheese on it. I also read that it should be 5 layers... but it seems to be 2 layers of cheese? The buns were also prepackaged in clear plastic bags already. It was really a let down...especially at approximately $7 a piece after tax. I'd pass on this one. Also, they mixed up my order...I ordered a mango one, and they gave me a strawberry. Even after the guy explained each of their buns and really sold me on the mango. read more

Cheese Baker - Durian flavour - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

If you have you seen what they look like, you would understand why I expected to sink my teeth into pure cheesy-sour decadence. The cheese bun is sopping with cream, almost whispering all kinds of sweet nothings to me. Guschlbauer is a short trek down Yonge from Bloor-Yonge station. It is a dainty, small shop off of the street with a clean interior and an easy to read menu. The ovens where all the magic happens is in view. Sadly the signature original flavour I wanted was sold out. I opted for the strawberry flavour instead. Perhaps it was the flavour choice but the cheese bun was... just okay. The filling was not life-changing but definitely agreeable and in a perfect proportion to bread. I was skeptical about the fruit flavouring but it somehow works. But the bread... the bread was so average, as other reviewers have commented, as if it was bought at a Chinese grocery store. There was no "the last bite is the best bite" experience - all bites were equally mediocre. I was surprised that the cheese bun was prepackaged in a plastic baggy, unlike other trendy bakeries around Toronto downtown core that serve their goods hot and fresh. While it looks delicious, I was underwhelmed and won't be back. I'd be hesitant to recommend to others. read more

My friend took me to this place to try the buns. When we came, there was a grand opening special of 20% discount. I bought the original bun (that has cream cheese inside) and a matcha puff. Matcha puff had lots of filling, but it tasted more like cream cheese than matcha. The original bun was so tasty, there was just enough cream cheese inside the soft layer of the bun. With the discount, I still paid $6 for the bun. This would be my occasional treat! Give this place a try, the bun is good! :) read more

Finally got a chance to stop by this place as I came to work downtown today. Was waiting for try this "devil cheese bun" for a while. I was probably the first customer when they just opened at 11am and the only one as it was raining pretty hard at the time. The server were nice to offer me paper towels as I got wet from the rain. I got a strawberry and original bun and two cream puffs. Like the other reviews said there's a 20% off promotion now. Came back to the office and tried the strawberry as I want something sweet to start my day. There's definitely good portion of cream cheese and the sweetness level is just right for me, not super sweet, the bread is also pretty chewy As for the cream puff I tried the Matcha one and enjoy the subtle matcha taste of it with the cream, it isn't those rich strong matcha taste to the point that it's bitter which I like. So far I am happy with the service and satisfy with the cheese buns and puffs. Still have to try the original bun and cream puff next time. I hope they will bring the other flavours in soon as they look promising. read more

It's rare that I come to this stretch of Yonge Street. I've been wanting to try this cheese bread/bun/cake (whatever it is) based on Instagram photos. Was it earth shattering? No. The cream was very tasty but the rest was just meh. I expected the rest to be fluffy or pillowy, but it honestly just tasted like a regular Chinese bun bread smothered in a cheese cream (not cream cheese). Kinda pricey for one slice. read more

Very fast service and had a nice homie vibe. Got the signature Austria cake with matcha and lychee cream puffs on the side. The cakes were a lot thicker then I expected. Going in was expecting a soft uncle tetsu vibe, but it was more bready then that (which isn't a bad thing imo) The cream was a great mix between cheese and sweet flavours and the texture of the bread was really nice too. Be sure to not eat in the car cause you'll definitely make a mess. If I were to have it again I'd probably put it in the fridge for a bit or warm up for a few seconds as per the instructions they kindly add to the bag Overall really good tasting pastries and will definitely go back to try out the durian cake. read more

Having passed by this spot a few times I initially thought this was another one of the Japanese dessert chains that are starting to dot the city (many of those are decent IMO). However upon further reading about this chain I realized they started in Austria. Being a fan of desserts from that region I don't think I have encountered something like a quarter bun dessert they sell here. Ah well wanting to try it out I ordered a cheese version with a strawberry one as a bonus as was visiting a friend nearby. The packaging looks nice but isn't very functional IMO. OK after the instagram worthy look maybe on to the main attraction. Hmm didn't quite enjoy it. The cheese reminded me of the kraft cheese spread that was sold in Europe and the subcontinent. The bread itself wasn't very good. Strawberry has more dessert profile IMO but again didn't impress. The filling is in the center and bread to filling ratio is way off. With the price point I think I will skip. In the meantime if the taste profiles appeal to you do try. 2 Stars. read more

I tried all the flavours of the cheese buns and cheese puffs and I quite liked them. They are not mind blowing but they are still delicious and enjoyable. The cheese buns are so soft and fluffy but one bun is a bit filling to eat all at once. It would be fun to go with friends and order different flavours so you can all try them together. I don't have a favourite because they are all yummy but I would probably get the purple potato one again if it was available. The puffs are really yummy too! The filling is thick and flavourful. My fave is the matcha ofc because I love Matcha. read more

Austrian cheese buns.... by way of Hong Kong... The latest in Asian food trend chains sweeping their way down Yonge Street. This one had me a bit leery. I can for sure get behind Korean or Taiwan style fried chicken but this seemed a bit incongruous. O well, the proof is in the pudding (Or in this case in the cheesebun) The shop itself is tiny and there are three or four different kinds of buns. My friends got the chocolate and I opted for the classic. It has an interesting taste. Kinda like donut stuffed with cream cheese icing. It's good but as several yelper have already mentioned quite pricey at $7 a pop. It would be great as a gift especially because it's nicely wrapped but probably not an every day indulgence. read more
