So excited to have a physical Old Hearth bakery open again! They've been very missed in the community since they closed their East End Market location. This little pocket of Ivanhoe is a great location, and I'm happy to see more local businesses opening in the area.
We popped in this past Sunday morning to pick up a few pastries for breakfast. I believe they are still in their soft opening. Everything was laid out on craft paper behind the glass and clearly labeled so you could see all the options. It was late morning, so they were already sold out of a few things.
There was only one gal working -- she bagged up our selected treats & rung up our order. We decided to try the raspberry danish, bananas foster poptart, and a blueberry muffin for my son. There's no seating inside, so it's more of a grab & go situation.
We walked a few doors down to the coffee shop to grab some bevvies and eat our pastries. Upon first bite of the danish, it was a bit chewy/stale, so we decided to hold off until we got home to reheat the rest and they were much more enjoyable that way. Their fresh baked bread is really where it's at, so this spot will be my go-to for allll the carby delights! read more
