Luna Bakery is something else. The first time I went, I was honestly sold purely on the vibez. The second floor is warm, cozy, and perfect for hanging out with friends and family. The only odd thing is the outlet situation--it's a bit chaotic--so it's not exactly the best spot if you're planning to camp there with a laptop and pretend to be productive. On that first visit, I ordered the rice dacquoise and, to be honest, it kind of spooked me. I think I was expecting something like a macaron with whipped cream in the middle, but it was much lighter and softer than that. My brain didn't quite know how to process it. A few months later, I ended up coming back because I desperately needed a late evening coffee and the nearby Togo Coffee was closed. And wow, Luna Bakery makes excellent espresso drinks & I was not expecting that. The latte was incredibly creamy, nutty, and subtly sweet, with all that sweetness coming naturally from the perfectly roasted beans. Every sip felt like a small trip to caffeine paradise. I also gave the rice dacquoise another shot - this time the strawberry one - and suddenly it made sense lol. Light, slightly fruity, a little tangy, and perfect with the coffee. Now I enjoy coming back - partly for the coffee, and partly because my taste buds have finally learned to appreciate the rice pastries instead of being spooked by them. Service is always friendly - they never judge you for trying way too many free rice bakery samples. Bless. read more

Great Korean rice cakes, especially if you get there in the morning. It is really difficult to do this well and they do a great job.

Came here on a Monday afternoon, it was a beautiful day out and the cafe had a steady flow of traffic. I thought, must be good, so I'd thought I'd check it out :) Drinks- ordered the Seoul Iced Latte, it was a condensed milk latte, perfect balance between sweet and coffee forward balanced iced latte. I thought it was flavourful, and yummy! Would recommend! Snacks- I grabbed the black sesame injeolmi rice cakes. I'm a huge fan of Korean rice cakes, and thought this was a great fresh, unique injeolmi. Not too sweet, tossed in black sesame, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and was enough to share and more! Service ~ fast, friendly, efficient. Exactly what a cute, busy, coffee shop needs. There is outdoor seating, limited. Pay for parking on streets or side streets. read more

Super unique Korean traditional desserts that I have never had before. All the items seem to be made of rice, which provides a soft delicate texture. We got four rice cakes and two slices of the rice pie to share at home. I really liked the red bean rice cake, but each had their own flavor that stood out. As it's an Asian dessert, don't expect it to be too sweet. More emphasis is on the texture and delicacy of the flavors. read more

Stopped by this small bakery with a friend for a much needed cold drink to cool down in the summer heat. There is very minimal seating (most of it is outside the cafe), so we ordered an iced latte and iced strawberry matcha latte to go. Our drinks tasted fine, but I wouldn't say it was the best iced latte or matcha I've ever had - couldn't really taste the strawberry flavour either. While we didn't order bingsu on this visit, I'm not sure if I would stop by for it here since it looked fairly expensive for the portion size. read more

Luna Bakery is a cozy little Korean cafe that sells dessert items on top of your standard coffee drinks. One of my favourites is the injeolmi rice cake - the soy bean powder has the most flavourful nutty taste and pairs so well with the freshly cooked rice cakes. I highly recommend grabbing a box when stopping by. Service is always quick and friendly, and there is plenty of seating in the upstairs area if you're wanting to enjoy your treats while dining or or just to sit and work. read more

Would always stop by here for matcha and coffee. Bingsu during summer. The injeolmi is really tasty and is probably one of the best ones I've had. Service is always quick but it gets really busy and there's not much seating. Other than that, it's nice and cozy inside. read more

Happen to pass by and saw this place. Thought to give it a try. Ordered black sesame bingsoo, three of us shared it. Verdict: price and taste ratio is incompatible. Lack of 'sesame'-ness. Lack of sweetness (even the person who doesnt like sweet think this is worst dessert he ever have...and this is his first time trying korean bingsoo.lol) We went down to ask for condense milk (assuming maybe they forgot to put it in). it taste slightly better afterward, but still lack of depth! I had better bingsoo somewhere else. NONE of us like it. It got very busy after we walked in tho. So maybe next time will order different items. Also saw another yelper commented about the black sesame bingsoo. Maybe I should have checked yelp review first (which I usually do) before walking in. Regardless, it's nice to be spontaneous once in a while read more

A new take on Korean rice cake. Tried the earl grey and chestnut flavour . Also the pumpkin rice cake. They were all very good. The rice is chewy and fresh. The price is a bit high for what it is. The rice dacquoise was like a large macaron, I didn't find it that special . The cream was tasty true to the flavour. But felt like eating a big cookie with a cream filling read more

Best injeolmi bingsu in the city! The powder was fine dust and had a strong flavour. The ice was finely crushed and melt-blended with the powder. The rice cakes were properly chewy. Overall, an outstanding and easy must-try dish. Also had the chestnut rice dacquoise which was ok - inner filling could have had a tad more flavour, outer shell could be a tad less chewy. And got the lemon ginger green tea which was refreshing. There's space on the second floor for dine-in but also saw a lot of people doj g takeout. Service was friendly, quick and helpful. Prices are what prices are these days. Overall, would definitely come back for the injeolmi bingsu! read more

Luna Bakery is a charming little Korean cafe along Yonge between Sheppard and Finch. What attracted me to Luna is their Korean rice cake which I've never seen in Toronto. I've never set foot in Korea, so this whole rice cake is pretty novel to me. The rice cake itself is in a squared shape and from an appearance standpoint, reminds one of a mini finger sandwich. However, once you take a bite, the cake gives off a slight chewy texture. By the time I got there at 7:20 on a Friday evening, they have only two flavours left. I ended up with the black sesame flavour which was quite pleasant. The cake had a strong sesame flavour, without being overly sweet. I also ordered an iced Seoul Latte. The name befuddled me since it kind of reminded me of Vietnamese drip coffee. When I ordered it, I knew they use condensed milk in the coffee so I may have foreseen the similarity, but even the coffee tasted pretty similar to Vietnamese coffee... so what's Seoul part of the coffee, aside from it served in a Korean cafe? Not to mention, the coffee taste was pretty damn strong, which makes it not a latte. Nonetheless, it was good cup of iced coffee. If the opportunity presents itself, I will come back to try the other rice cake flavours. I have my sights set on pumpkin and the rainbow coloured one. read more

I've been a regular at Luna Bakery since they opened. It's a bit pricey, but the presentation and variety are impressive. I especially love their traditional donuts (개성 주악), which make perfect gifts and are not too sweet. They offer both Korean rice cakes and baked goods. The upstairs ambiance is nice and quiet, with some seating available. The workers are always cheerful and enthusiastic about explaining their products, and they often have samples available. read more

My friends and I were craving some bingsoo after dinner and decided to come try this place out. We were a larger group so we went upstairs to their second floor for seating. Luckily, they had one larger table that could seat up to 6. FYI - you have to place your order and pay downstairs at the counter. They'll give you a buzzer for you to retrieve your own order when it's ready. I ordered the black sesame bingsoo ($17.95) and thought it was rather mediocre for its price. The rice cakes had a pleasant chewy texture to them and the ice powder was nicely ground, however I found the overall black sesame flavour to be lacking. While the first few spoons from the top layer tasted good, the overall ratio of black sesame to ice felt inadequate and I would've liked a stronger black sesame presence throughout. read more

Luna Bakery located on Yonge St. near Churchill Ave in North York specializes in Korean traditional desserts, mainly rice cakes! They also have bingsu (shaved ice) as well as coffee/tea available as well. I believe they previously had a store in Markham, however they have relocated to the Willowdale area. The store opened recently and has been a huge hit. I went by Luna Bakery twice during the Easter long weekend. The store is bright where lots of natural light is able to shine through the windows. It is primarily take out only although there is a table with 2 chairs near the front of the store. The rice cakes are laid out on shelves where you can pick and choose which ones to get. First time, I visited Sat afternoon where most of their rice cakes were sold out. I did end up visiting a second time on a Monday right when they opened. The store was fairly quiet and the staff were still putting out the freshly made rice cakes for the day. I opted for a brown sugar snow-white rice cake as well as ordered a flat white. The rice cake was actually still warm in it's packaging which was a nice surprise. My coffee was made at a reasonable time and I did sit inside enjoying it for a bit. The bakery uses De Mello coffee beans (a local coffee roaster from Toronto). My flat white tasted great and was made well. The vibe of the bakery is welcoming and relaxing. The staff are extremely friendly! Definitely do check out Luna Bakery if you are around the area and are craving for some Korean traditional desserts. Definitely something unique in the neighbourhood! read more

After grabbing a bite next door, we dropped by Luna Bakery--a cozy Korean café that's easy to miss but worth the visit. Though it's on the smaller side, the café gives off the same charm as the quaint spots you'd find in Seoul, which really adds to the experience. Service was friendly and welcoming, making it a great place to settle in. I kept it simple with an iced latte, which was delicious and refreshing. They even have a second floor if you're looking to sit and unwind for a bit. Overall, it's a nice stopover with a cozy atmosphere and authentic café vibes! read more

A really cute bakery with quality drinks and pastries. I got a few pastries to go and an orange iced tea while my husband got an Americano. They were very polite and fairly quick. Everything was really fresh and would love to come back here when in the area! read more

So excited that Luna Bakery had relocated to a more convenient location! I first heard about Luna Bakery years ago when I was looking for fresh sikhye (Korean Rice Punch.) Now they have added more to their drinks menu. The sesame latte was extremely fragrant! Pro tip: add a shot of espresso! Tried the purple rice cookie because I absolutely love purple rice. To be honest, I didn't know what to expect from the cookie but I certainly didn't think it would come with tiny chocolate chips. It has an interesting texture that is hard to describe. Definitely coming back to try the other cookies! read more

Luna Bakery - Injeolmi latte with shot of espresso~ - Desserts Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Korean baked goods and drinks. They have many non-coffee options to suit their hours as they are open until past 10pm, and walking traffic in the area is always busy. Self-serve structure where you order at the register, grab a pager, and pick up your food at the counter when your pager rings. The Injoelmi latte was most popular in online reviews so I had to try it! It has a very nutty flavour and was a great way to top off the night as it does not contain coffee. Not particularly sweet. The crumble pie and many of their pastries feature a chewy texture like mochi. Seating is available on the first floor inside and outdoor, as well as on the second floor. It does get quite warm as the room is small and the biggest table they have seats around 7-10 depending on how close your group is willing to squeeze in. Great hangout spot, and cozy for a short date. There's a washroom on the second floor as well. read more

This is a modern twist on the classic traditional Korean rice cakes. They also have other pastries as well which have Asian inspired flavours as well. The rice cakes are well flavoured and I love that they have fillings inside. Also they are just so aesthetically pleasing! The bingsoo in the summer really hits the spot and is a large portion, perfect for sharing. I will say that the prices are a bit high just under $5 for each rice cake. But great for a once in a while treat. The more traditional fare can be bought nearby at the Korean grocery stores for less. The space on the first floor is very cramped but they do have additional seating upstairs! read more

I am a big fan of rice cakes and this place makes great rice cakes as well as other Korean desserts. The texture of their rice cakes are very bouncy and fluffy. I tried their original with a honey centre and the strawberry. The strawberry tasted lightly of fresh strawberries as it is mixed into the rice cake batter, however I think with a strawberry jam centre it might be even more delicious. These rice cakes need to be eaten on the day of bc they will lose the bouncy moist texture by the next day. Even if you steam it the next day it won't be as good as the day it was made. The original with the honey centre is my favourite of the two. (Honey white rice cake $3.85, strawberry rice cake $4.25) I also recommend their Injeolmi Bingsu. Lots and lots of injeolmi powder as well as fresh chewy rice cakes on milky shaved ice is the most delicious summer treat. I will be back to try their red bean Bingsu next time. $15.95 The rice cookie (also with injeolmi) was crispy and fragrant with the flavour of rice and injeolmi and only slightly sweet, which is exactly what I like. $3.95 The last thing I tried was their red bean bun with injeolmi powder on top. Everything they make is very fresh and should not be kept for long. The bun was filled with delicious sweet red bean and topped with injeolmi powder. $5.80 There were so many delicious looking treats that I wanted to try but haven't tried yet so I will definitely be back. If you want to sit and enjoy there is a backyard patio as well as a couple of seats at the front and 2 small tables inside. read more

New hidden gem. This shop is very small, mainly for take-out, with limited seating area (one sitting table for two). Ambiance is very quiet and calm with small Korean decor all around the shop. The area is well kept and clean. They sell traditional Korean rice cake, few crispy cookies and coffee. I bought one of each flavoured rice cake and it was very soft and fresh. Not too sweet with a hint of various flavours, these spongy rice cake pairs perfectly with an americano. Price is about $5 per rice cake which is pricier than the usual ones you see in Korean grocery stores. Overall, I would recommend trying it out if you would like to try fresh Korean rice cake. read more

This adorable spot near my home is my go-to for Fusion Korean desserts. The variety of sweets and particularly the drinks offer flavors that are hard to come by elsewhere. Yes, it's on the pricier side, but I find the quality and uniqueness justify the cost. Silly me, only recently did I discover there's additional seating upstairs--a fact I wish had been made clearer from the get-go. Despite this oversight, my affection for this cafe hasn't waned. It remains a cherished destination for those special treats that remind me of flavors I'd struggle to find. read more

Hmmm... my review is following below, but I have to say that there are three reviews below mine and each taught me something new about Luna Bakery. I learned one new thing from each review despite my visiting it this afternoon myself. Here are things I learned from the 3 previous reviews that I would not have known otherwise: 1- This store was previously located in Markham. I did not know that. 2- This shop is a "hidden gem." I did not know one could be located, and have a storefront, on Yonge Street itself and still be hidden. 3- This store is a "huge hit." When I went there there were no customers. Read my review with skepticism because I know as much about "Traditional Korean desserts" as a wolf does about veganism, fish knows about walking, conservatives know about science, graffiti vandals know about art and you get the picture. Seriously, all I know about Korean food and desserts is that I like to eat them... and Luna did not disappoint. Firstly, however, the store is spic and span clean, which is always appreciated. Well done. It is attractive therefore, there is pride of ownership and is also tastefully decorated. Simple lines and pastel colours dominate. A few knickknacks are on display one of which makes no sense relative to "traditional Korean desserts." See my photograph. In short, the pastry and cookies may be traditional, but the shop could not be any further from it. The shop has 1.5 seats and tables and is designed for take-out. The two girls working there were well put together, friendly and helpful. Now to the meat - but they do not have meat, be sure - of the matter. I picked up an Ingeolmi, which is pounded glutinous rice cube pieces akin to the Japanese mochi strewn with soy flour on it. The taste is addictive and similar to the Japanese kinako. This was $7 I also took advantage of the fresh pastry and picked up a $5 Dacquoise, which correct me if I am wrong is French.... hmmmm what? Regardless, the chestnut flavour worked here and made this another good choice. They also had several other flavours including Tiramisu. With the shop being so tidy and clean, the employees friendly and the items delicious there is nothing to complain about. It would be nicer if they had room to sit and more of a variety things would be even better, but that is up to them and perhaps a function of space availability and rental costs. Yet, they do serve tea and coffee so the dine-in option would make sense, right? read more

Cute little coffee shop! The staff is very friendly and efficient. The only downside is that the cafe has limited seating, and it's not the most comfortable. It's geared more towards a takeout concept. The pumpkin cake I had wasn't overly sweet and was moist. The texture was a bit different from a typical cake, more like mochi. The sesame latte was incredibly delicious, and I didn't adjust the sweetness level. I might come back to try their sesame cake. read more
