Since the closure of But'n Ben Scottish bakery in Pickering, there hasn't been another bakery to get good meat pies from. This bakery replaced a Wimpy's diner and I was curious to see how they would manage such a large space for a bakery. The store is well laid out with fridges and freezers that line the store, jam packed with delicious oven ready meals and hard to find eats. There are also isles stocked with jams, coffee, tea, pot noodles, biscuits and snacks from the old country. And in-store baked breads are spread out on tables near the display cases. I picked up 6 assorted meat pies and some Queen Victoria's during this visit and shared them with my family. I don't often make meat pies anymore as the kid still has yet to develop the taste for it, but for the adults in the family, this was a lovely treat to pick up several different flavours to sample (chicken pot pie, steak and gravy, steak and mushroom). We enjoyed our selection of pies and the dessert and look forward to returning to try out more delicious eats!

Bakeries are scare in Pickering, and this one is a hidden gem on Bayly Street with plenty of…read moreparking. They have a wide variety of breads and baked goods, but they seem to specialize in rye, whole wheat, dinner rolls, hamburger and hot dog buns, as well as sausage rolls. The Marble Rye instantly appealed to me for it's vivid, 2-tone, swirly appearance. It's as close to psychadelic as a bread experience could ever be. Of course, I had to order it! I also ordered some hamburger buns. Both were extremely tasty and super fresh. The rye does not have a sour taste at all, so if you are looking for a denser, sourdough style rye, the Breadhouse rye is probably not what you are looking for. But if you want a very cool looking rye that is light, fluffy, but with a decent crust, then look no further. Next time, I will try the sausage rolls and butter tarts (either plain or raisin). You can order a cake from them as well. Staff are friendly, courteous, and know their product well. You can order for pick-up if you want to speed things along. This is definitely worth the trip. Thank you, Breadhouse, for helping to fill a nearly-empty niche in Pickering! I'll be back.

Better late than never lol this place is amazing and has a crazy variety of baked goods starting from pastries, croissants, cookies, birthday cakes, customized cakes, to ice creams and sundaes, salads and even savoury items. There are a few tables to sit and enjoy your treat as well. Oh and did I mention they also have coffee and beverages? Insane how much variety they have in the store. We tried their mousse (I forgot what the name was) and it was layered with cream, chocolate cake, brownie bites and chocolate sauce and tasted so good! Their cafe mocha is also quite delicious and I was surprised that it was only $5.5 - much cheaper than what you get downtown. The ice cream sundae was my boyfriend's favourite. It was loaded with brownies, vanilla ice cream and even a cone stuffed in. This was such a great find in Scarborough and I highly recommend people to try it!

Nutella croissant, pistachio cream filled. Staff super friendly took my order gave recommendations. Croissant was crispy versus buttery had a decent amount of Nutella in there. Not sure if it's more crispy vs buttery or just end of day. The pistachio filled donut was heavy filled with whip cream delicious and not lactose friendly. Tiramisu good on the sweeter side not too heavy on coffee flavor whip cream and cake bottom. Not super traditional but it's okay. 3 separate counters to order different food items this place can get quite full. Little bit hard to find the price on the items it's not listed with the food itself. In the middle of the place there are tables and chairs to sit and eat at which is nice. Not just a take out spot. Great especially in the winter. Havent had a chance to try the prepared foods or pizza that is for the next visit!

I was lucky to get there at a time it wasn't busy around 10:30am and was excited to get their sourdough bread and apple cake! The sourdough bread was still warm! I got it sliced and immediately had a slice with butter once I got home. So pillowy soft and delicious! I asked if there was any yeast and they said very little but they have their own starter so it's a hybrid rather than authentic, yeast free sourdough bread. I also got a pork empanada and it was good. I got a fresh, classic glazed donut and with one bite and I was in heaven! It reminded me of glazed donuts I had growing up so it was blissfully nostalgic! I haven't tasted the apple cake but it looks so good. Lots more I want to try on my next visit. All the prices were great too. A big shout out and thanks to Cail who was working the counter. He made me feel very welcomed and shared a bit of history of the bakery that's been around since 1978.

Undoubtably. I also got their chicken sandwich and loved it. Their cannolis are also obviously made perfectly and the pastries are so different from any other bakeries.

Last Wednesday, I was at Woodside Square's food court, having an early dinner thanks to Beef Noodle Slurp. Next to this food stall was Baker Duck. I have been to the original Baker Duck at Denison Centre, which is close to my home. It was nice to visit its second location. I looked at the sign saying that if my items totalled at least $15, I could use my credit card to pay. I rarely have cash on me. Spending $15 was easy. The sour note to my visit was a female staffer to brought out three different baking trays with baked goods and managed to poke me with each them. Really? Coincidence or targeted weirdness? I don't know. I could have been nasty and tripped her. Then again, I wouldn't stoop to her level of stupidity. My haul consisted of these items: - Grilled cheese with pork floss - Egg salad bun - Tempura curry beef bun - Pork floss and bacon bun - Hot dog bun - Curry beef bun - Curry beef puff I got a different woman who helped cash me out. She was great putting my items in a bag. Each item was in its own bag. I appreciated it, as I saw some small flies going at the sesame balls. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I thanked the woman, grabbed my goodies, and headed to my car. On the whole, I loved everything that I ate. I didn't realize that I went hard on curry beef, but it's delicious. I should get the BBQ pork bun next time. The grilled cheese with pork floss around the crust was yummy and unique. It was the surprise item out of the bunch. I make a lot of egg salad. This egg salad was a bit bland. It also had iceberg lettuce, which could have been omitted. Not horrible. It just needed more flavour. I'm glad that I can say that I've been to both Baker Duck locations. Here's hoping that tray woman get her tray-poking issues fixed. (425)
