We happened to be in Streetsville on an outing, and we noticed a sign claiming that Kate's Town…read moreTalk Bakery has the best butter tarts in town. Well, I love a good butter tart just as much as the next person, so I knew I had to try them for myself. The sign was not wrong. I decided to try a plain butter tart and a pecan butter tart. They're both phenomenal. The flavor is just ridiculous, but what really elevates this over most butter tarts is the way they've caramelized the edge of the pastry. It's ridiculously delicious. I could seriously eat these things every single day and not get tired of them. (Maybe it's a good thing they're so far away, in that case.)

i'll never understand the positive reviews and i regret placing my order with Kate's Town Talk…read moreBakery. the food here tastes extremely plain and it has absolutely no flavor. their scones are horrible and it tastes like sawdust as well. their sausage rolls have no flavor either. even the grocery store sausage rolls tastes way better than this small business and that's sad to hear. i threw their food in the garbage and normally, i don't like wasting food but since their food tastes so horrible, it deserves to be thrown in the garbage since it's inedible. i will never come back here ever again. a waste of my money that i can never get back. stay away from Kate's Town Talk Bakery unless you don't care to waste your money. highly NOT recommended

It's a super sweet little bakery with very kind and knowledgeable staff, and baked treats that make you feel like you're having high tea at a teddy bear picnic. I tried the mini lemon meringue pie, which was delightful. It had a beautifully whipped meringue topping above a deliciously tart lemon filling. I also got an apple pie to share with my family, which was a smash hit. 10/10, worth going a little out of your way for!

These cheesecakes are high end sweets that are perfect gifts for you, your love ones or a cheat day. The dessert are not overly sweet and you can also order variety of sliced samples or a whole cake with orders in advanced. Carole's History" "Committed to this passion and guided by experience we bake our cakes by hand in small batches using only the finest all natural Ingredients. whipping cream, cream cheese, whole fresh eggs are blended with a little bit of magic and then baked in a water bath to culminate in our signature creamy texture". What more can you said to that, delicious! I ordered the NY cheesecake with strawberry topping, coconut lemon, carrot cake & tiramisu slices! Each were about $11 and come with many toppings of choice. Nothing seemed to be less in quality. Despite begin refrigerated, the cakes were all still kept perfectly well. None of the cake slices seemed to sink down because my round trip was about 40 minutes away due to Toronto downtown traffic. Cake Taste Test: NY cheesecake with strawberry topping - Very good but not the traditional NY baked cheesecake that I am familiar with were the height of the cake is 5" inches high. Coconut lemon - Wasn't so much of a fan but not to say it wasn't good. Carrot cake - Was my favorite because (nowadays) you don't find raisin and walnuts and they had both. Tiramisu - Wasn't so much of a fan but not to say it wasn't good, just too much velvety coffee for my liking Uber Eats also offers delivery but I was located too far out (The Junction) area which is only 6 kilo away. Thanks again Carole for the experience, I will be back if I'm in the area to try many of your other cake flavors i.e. red velvet

My second time visiting as my first one with family was so delicious. First off, the food is very…read moregood, my one star is simply due to the atrocious service/attitude of one of the staff. 1 or 2 things I would shrug off, but this was gross and ridiculous. At this place, you order your food and pay/tip in advance then find a seat. Most of the tables were occupied except for one possiblity. I was trying to decide how to approach the young man on his computer taking up 2 tables pushed together but the 2nd table wasn't clean/had dishes on it. A staff member came up and tried to commiserate that there weren't any spots, I'd have to wait. I waited for her to clue in to the possiblities... after a few seconds, I mentioned cleaning/clearing/separating the tables. The young man was happy to oblige as he didn't need the space. Staffer wasn't happy - to have to do something? After a cursory swipe of the middle of the table, I had to hand clean the crumby seat myself and once sat, I noticed a dried mess of crusty food stuck to the top edge of the table exactly in front of me. Gross. I tried to catch the eye of the server now chatting with the cashier. I couldn't put my e-reader or my hands on the table until the cashier came to deliver my sandwich and drink. I showed her the mess and asked for another clean. A now visibly annoyed first staffer re-appeared with a napkin and did another cursory sweep of middle of the table. I picked up my plate but she was already walking away. I had to point it out. Huffing and saying she couldn't clean it because my dish was in the way (????). I lifted it even higher for her. She then had to go get a wet cloth to remove the stuck on guck. Gross. She then said I could have sat in the other chair. She promptly returned to the first server, clearly complaining about the b*tch (me) and my unreasonable demands and for the rest of my time there I got the stink eye from her. The thing is... not only was she uninterested in working, she was uninterested in CLEANING. This makes me suspect what else is unclean. Can't return. She had an accent - Aussie of Kiwi, potentially South African. She really shouldn't be working in food service. And, I'm peeved I pre-tipped 25%.

It was really quiet for Saturday midday (apparently they're usually busy?) and I was the only person in the store. The person working there greeted me with a smile and was helpful at recommending cookies. Since I hadn't tried them out before, I ended up just getting one -- king pistachio (dark chocolate salted caramel and roasted pistachios). The price was quite steep (over $6 for a single cookie?!) but it was sizeable. A little annoying that prices were not on display. When I got home and bit in, I immediately regretted not buying more cookies. Chocolate pairs perfectly with the nutty pistachio and rich caramel. Such a satisfying bite for my sweet tooth. Bad for my wallet and waistline, but oh, how I think of the cookie even today. Next time!
