I'd been wanting to try the cannoli from St. Philip's Bakery for a while, and I finally stopped by! I picked up 2 classic chocolate cannolis, 2 pistachio cannolis. and 2 ricotta lobstertails Price & Size: Cannolis were around $4 each, not exactly cheap, but they were quite large. Taste: The shells were crispy, and the ricotta filling was smooth, not too sweet, and overall tasty. The lobstertails were also crispy and creamy. Verdict: After trying the 3 most famous cannoli spots in Vaughan, this one ranks 3rd for me. They were good, but nothing mind-blowing--I wouldn't go out of my way just for these. Of course, this is subjective, so this might be someone else's favorite! Bakery & Service: The store was clean, well-organized, and easy to browse. The staff was friendly, but I wish they had price tags on display. Beyond cannoli, this bakery offers a huge selection of pastries, bread, cakes, deli meats, ready-to-eat meals, coffee, and gelato--so I'd love to come back and try more! read more

I visited the store just before closing time (around 7:57 PM, with posted hours until 8:00 PM). The staff member at the counter made no effort to understand my purpose for being there. When I attempted to speak, she glanced at a colleague, checked the time, and rather dismissively stated, "We are closed." This was confusing, as several customers were still actively shopping and completing purchases. When I pointed this out, she responded that "this section is closed," despite remaining at the same counter and continuing her work. The interaction came across as unprofessional and discourteous. I would expect a more respectful and customer-oriented approach, particularly when the store is still open and serving others. I hope management is aware of such conduct, as it does not reflect well on the overall customer experience. read more

Well this was our second specialty cake and I have to say that AGAIN we were just amazed at the beautiful artistry! Jackie did a fabulous job on my Dad's 70th birthday cake. The atmosphere is such a great gathering spot as well! Friendly service as well. I wish I could post a picture of the cake! I sent Jackie a picture and she made the cake come to life everyone was beyond in awe over it. Thank you to everyone at St. Phillips that made this possible read more

This is the MOST DISGUSTING AND UNPROFESSIONAL establishment I've ever come across, I am not sure why anybody would even leave a decent review. ISABELLA and ALESSIA from the cake department were taking two weeks to respond to a quote for a cake, like the picture below. I tried calling a few times to see if they had the quote ready for me, since the event of my party is now a week away, this seemed to have angered them and they quoted me $400 for the below cake. read more

Love the interior design and the variety food that is offers. Ice cream, cakes, pizza, panini, pasta, grocery and coffee.

I love their cannoli. If it wasn't for unnecessary chocolate drops they put in them, they'd be 5/5. Otherwise, I give them 4/5. Other than amazing cannolis, they have a good selection of cheese, cold cuts, all sorts of baguettes, pastries, cakes, prepared food, Italian cookies, gelato, etc. They serve quality stuff and local Italians love this place. I've been to several Italian bakeries in the area and this is by far my favourite one. On a side note, today, I tried their famous Sfoglia cake with strawberries. I have to say that it was tasty on the inside, but the whipped cream wasn't all that great. There was too much of it and I didn't like the quality. Essentially, it's Napoleon with strawberries, smothered in whipped cream on the outside. If you want a good alternative in terms of premium cakes, I recommend Amadeus on Bathurst, north of Steeles. Their cakes are more expensive but they're also more premium. I would compare Amadeus to a really nice cake shop in Paris that sells premium cakes. read more

I have lunch with my wife here at least once a month. Very nice hot table. The eating area is clean and comfortable. We also love to have a Caffe Crema to finish off lunch with a great pick me up. read more

The best bakery! I love the selection of delicious bread, pastries, cakes, cookies, and hot table! My favorite cheesecake is from here. The strawberries are always fresh, and the cheesecake is very light and not too sweet. It is delicious and you must try it! The bomboloni donuts are so tasty! You have to try them as well! My favorite are the ones stuffed with Nutella! Yum yum! read more

If you are a fan of bakeries then you must have heard of or been to one of the St Phillips Bakery locations. If you haven't this is a must. St Phillips Bakery is one of the most legendary bakeries around. They have everything from bread, amazing hot table, amazing pastries, deli counters, small groceries etc... Although I don't have a St Phillips near where I live I recently had some friends come over for a visit and they were amazing enough to surprise me with some pastries from St Phillips. Although I did not try all of them the ones I did try were a decedent delight. There is no other way to explain them other than JUST AMAZING. I will let the pictures explain themselves. If you don't have a St Phillips Bakery in your area get out there and give it a try. If you are ever driving by a St Phillips Bakery make sure you make a stop and try some of their great items. read more

If you love Italian bakeries then this is the place for you. The hot counter is really good and the pastries are divine.

I had forgotten that I had been here and written a review as well. I was there yesterday and decided to write a review and notice my older review from 2019 now. Well, much has changed and much is the same. I was surprised to see so many customers in the dine-in section taking their masks off and drinking and chewing. How desperate are people to get out of the house and sit with others? I am staying away from that. I am here for take-out. Isabelle or Isabella at the counter was friendly, a bundle of energy and happy to serve. She is an asset. The old woman at the cash hates herself, you and life. She doesn't even have to move unlike others. She is sitting there, not making eye contact, not providing bags (I had to ask for one despite having three items in my hands) and her answer to my 'thank-you' upon paying was ... nothing.. no answer and she kept looking away. I hope I don't hate my lot in life when I get to her age or preferably I wont get to her age. Seriously. The cappucino was actually decent. A medium was $3.25. Their cups are branded for them. I bought four small bite sized pastries and enjoyed them yesterday and today. They are $3 each (they call it $2.96). The zesty lemon was a favourite. Not bad for a bakery. Not bad at all. The $3 bread was the best. It was fresh and, per the bakery, free of preservatives so needs to be eaten same day, but it felt good later. read more

Maybe it was because we came 10 minutes before closing on a weeknight but I was not very impressed with what I got here. I had high hopes and I am currently on the search for some of the best cannoli's in Vaughan/Woodbridge. I have read that pre-filled cannoli's are a no no and that made to order cannoli's are the way to go. I still had to give the pre-filled cannoli's the benefit of the doubt. I was happy that there were quite a few cannoli's left when I walked in. I decided to get 3 cannoli's, a vanilla cream custard filled pasty (don't know the name) and a strawberry tart, which was also filled with a vanilla custard. Out of everything, the strawberry tart was probably the best. The cannoli and vanilla custard pastry were soggy. Again, probably because it was the end of the day and they've been sitting there. The cannoli shell was not as crispy as I would like it to be and the filling was just meh. The other pastry was just completely soggy. I ate it as fast as I could. Maybe it's supposed to be like that? The strawberry tart was tasty. The strawberries were perfectly sweet and paired with the crust it was a perfect combo. The vanilla custard put it all together. I happen to be in the area and that's why I was able to make it in. If I'm in the area again, I'd gladly come back. From the pictures, the hot table looks amazing. read more

We went to this location yesterday and the young men behind the deli counter had masks on but not over their nose and mouths. I refused to buy deli at an establishment that doesn't provide the proper safety of its clients. Obviously there was no manager to oversee these young men as I'm sure that's not the proper dress code during a pandemic. The girls behind the ice cream counter and desserts all had their masks on properly. I love going to this location to buy bread but I didn't like this so refused to buy deli there on this day. read more

Now I know why I have been coming to St Philiips whenever we have time to kill, "When I was enjoying my Porchetta Sandwich, I thought to myself that this would be a good place to bring a friend for coffee & dessert outside of the lunch/dinner rushes. It had a certain VIBE to it that can allow you to chat while watching people come in and out holding boxes of pastries and breads." - WaYnE c. The fact that there is CP24 and TVs on whatever channels does help with the certain VIBE. Cappuccino ($2.50) always A-OK. Sweets or a quick croissant always tasted good. There are so many to choose from: plain, sweet (almond, chocolate) and savory (ham & cheese, pepperoni, broccoli, sausage roll, pizza bun, prosciutto roll..) I wondering when I will be back again, but it will be soon! read more

Okay, I'm going to start off with the most important point: YOU MUST TRY THEIR TIRAMISU! Now that I've gotten that off my chest, I shall continue. I accidentally stumbled upon this place with my mom, as we were next door in the natural food store. My mom loves pastries and can never walk by a bakery without having a look and buying at least one cake and a box of pastries... which is what happened here too. The first time we came here, I had just graduated I September and my mom wanted to get a cake to celebrate. I asked one of the girls behind the counter what their specialty was and she immediately pointed to the tiramisu. Now, I love tiramisu...but the only good one I've had was in Italy. Ever since that one, I've only been disappointed. So, I hesitantly agreed to try it. They kindly wrote congratulations at my mom's request and we brought it home (along with other pastries...just in case). My oh my.. that tiramisu was delicious!! I still remembered the taste almost 6 months later and decided to order it for Christmas dinner. It was a hit at the party too. So, was it better than Italy? Probably not.. But! Was it an extremely close second? Absolutely! Service is great here and there are so many things to choose from. Starting at their hot table, to their deli counter, to their desserts and baked goods. Oh and their baguettes are really yummy too. You could actually choose between regular white or whole wheat baguettes. Definitely coming back here! read more

A neighbourhood hot spot for breads and hot table. Place tends to be slammed at lunch and typically chaotic. Food is very good and consistent having the same items most days. Everything is super fresh. Lunch runs around $20 per person so it's a bit on the high side for a hot table lunch considering the area having lots of options. read more

On a normal day prior to covid, this place was bustling. Now, it is still just as busy and they have signs at the front entrance asking people to physically distance by 2 metres. However, once you step in, you will quickly notice that it just doesn't happen inside this tiny cramped store. The good: baked goods are as delicious and as fresh as ever. Some notable changes: The fresh bread/bakery area now requires a store employee to bag bread/rolls etc, which I am glad they have started doing as a safety measure. The bad: The cafe seating area tables are spaced out, however, there are two-seater tables adjacent to the long line of customers headed for check out that are not physically distanced. Can you imagine waiting in line next to a table of people that have removed their masks because they are eating? That is not OK. As well, there is no controlled foot traffic so people are constantly bumping into each other. read more

Having been in Maple since 1986, and having grown up here. My parents went here often. Naturally I started going. In the last few years I have noticed the lack of customer service. I am not sure if it's because of my ethnicity or that's just their service. Very Rude, don't acknowledge you and big time attitude problems. There are so many other places to try and are just as good. There's always alternatives. Thanks. Having been in Maple since 1986, and having grown up here. My parents went here often.

St. Phillip's cheesecake is a place where you can get customized cakes on basically any design you want from blackberrys, beer bottles, coach purse bags and the miscellaneous "adult cakes". You can even add your own custom photo with an addition $15 when you upload it online. The one that I tried this time was the Strawberry Cheesecake. These cakes normally cost around $30 for 10-12 serving sizes, with the exception of a few of their specialty St. Honores collections which are around 12-15 servings or more. I never really used to like cheesecakes when I was small, but as I adapted to the Western culture I began to accommodate to it. Having tried different cheesecakes, the best part about this cake was the strawberries. They were giant in size, juicy and extremely sweet which may had to do with the sauce. The cake itself was fairly good with a moderately soft interior with a breadcrumb/nut like exterior. read more

I have been frequenting St. Phillips Bakery for years. First was for the freshly baked bread and cold cuts, delicious pastries and cookies. Over the years, for all our memorable occassions we would order their decadent cakes all decorated according to my specific instructions. All those cakes and various flavours forever a part of the sensory memory. Yesterday was my birthday and I was given the Lemon Yogurt Cake...... My favorite....... Light sponge cake made with real lemons..........simply delicious!!! Now the latest technology system is in place. When you order a cake a file is opened under your name and a record of all the cakes previously ordered are recorded. No need to worry if you loose your order number it's easy to trace with your phone number. Oh and I forgot to mention the Hot Table.. Great food for lunch? read more

Like I said in my last review, been coming here 30 years. Love this place. But yesterday I went in to get some meats, girl behind the counter was maybe 15, had no clue how to use the cutting machine. The cut of the meat is brutal. If your going to stick a kid behind the meat counter at an Italian deli, you better teach them how to cut mortadella properly. read more

Utterly disappointed at the lack of professionalism at the Maple location of St. Phillips Bakery. We went to pick up a baby shower cake on Saturday morning of May 27, 2017. Take a look at the photo below. When we picked up the cake, we were shocked to see the names "Jeff and Hez" written on it instead of the correct spelling of "Jess and Hez". When it was brought to the attention of the bakery staff, not only did they not apologize or offer to correct the mistake, they insisted and argued that the spelling was correct. One would expect the staff to fix it or at the very least, correct the name to the customer's satisfaction. It was obvious that the letter was "f" with a horizontal dash on the letter that we had to wipe off the chocolate frosting to correct it. The store did not offer any compromise or do anything about it. It would have been an easy fix for the bakery. In the pressure of time, we had to manually remove the horizontal line across the letter. Even after we tried to correct it, the vertical stem of the letter was long - proof that they wrote the letter F and not S. If the letter was indeed S, it should look similar to the letter S at the end of the word congratulations on the first line. What was supposed to be a joyous occasion to celebrate the arrival of a baby is tarnished by a bakery shop that was supposed to be professional and reliable. Shouldn't a bakery shop possess a primary skill to spell correctly on a cake or at least offer to fix it? Over 150+ guests were invited to the event and we were embarrassed having asked why it is "Jeff" written on the cake. It is a pity that this happened. I hope everyone takes caution when buying from here and get service that they deserve. No celebration should have to deal with this non-sense and be stressed out about a purchase that was fully paid for. read more

I walked in feeling like I was transported into a small and busy european-decor marketplace. First section I saw was some beautiful Pastries (Cannoli, Tarts, Puffs, Cookies), Secondly the Deli meat section, Third was a decent selection of fresh Breads. When I almost finished the LOOP around, I saw the Cafe area where I saw a few people having an espresso or cappucinno. After the Cafe was the Hot food area which if I remembered correctly was called 'Bocadillo' where they had a variety of Italian meals such as Foccacia selection, Peppers & Sausages, Pastas and their Weekly Special (I had the Porchetta Sandwich). Bocadillo was a school cafeteria style where you ask for your item and move along the line towards the cash register, then walk over to the dining area where there might still be leftover dishes and drinks if the young man looking after the area hasn't clean up the tables yet. When I was enjoying my Porchetta Sandwich, I thought to myself that this would be a good place to bring a friend for coffee & dessert outside of the lunch/dinner rushes. It had a certain VIBE to it that can allow you to chat while watching people come in and out holding boxes of pastries and breads. BTW, I liked the Porchetta which was still JUICY but if they gave a few pieces of crackling that would be over the top. The bread that came with it was just as good if not better. My next visit will be for the Pastries! read more

Dang, you know you live in the GTA (let alone work for Yelp in the GTA) when you visit a place like this anytime you're in the area ... and then forget to review it. Three years I've been Yelpin' it up, and I forgot to tell everyone how amazing this place is. To be perfectly honest, there isn't a single solitary thing they do, that they don't do to perfection. From their freshly baked breads, their tavalo calda (hot table) filled with an ongoing rotation of delectible italian eats, to their espresso/cappuccino bar, to their pastries to their cakes... ohhhh their cakes!!! Hands down, St Phillips has dug themselves a niche as one of the best, yes the best, places to get cakes in the GTA. Wedding, Baptism, Confirmation, Birthday or other special occasion. Heck, even if you're driving home one night and think, shoot, I have friends coming over tonight and I need a cake - they've got ya covered. My personal favourite cakes include: Lemon Yogurt cake, sfoglia cake, strawberry short cake, and my most fave (and I don't know the name) but it's got chocolate and coffee flavours. It literally makes my pants move... sorry for the overshare, but it's true. Unreal. That said, I love their cakes, but every year when they're in season, the Zepploe made by St Phillips are easily the best made anywhere in the 905... maybe even all of Toronto. They've got two locations in Vaughan area, but this one is definitely the best. Check them out this weekend... shoot check them out every weekend. I love it, you will too! Eatcrest OUT! read more

I have a bit of hard time rating St. Phillips. It is a nice place, their bread and pastry are excellent, service is very friendly, but that's all the good parts. We ordered cakes there twice and, even though they were expensive, they weren't very tasty. The coffee there is so so, and the deli is nothing special. We got veal and meatballs there on a few occasions and they were quite dry, even the ones we buy at Fortinos store deli are much better. read more

You do not always get what you paid for. I paid $140 for 3 pizzas and a birthday cake for my daughter's birthday. The party was ruined. When I opened the cake box which was sealed when I picked it up, the writing I had asked for was not on the cake. While we were singing happy birthday I noticed that the piping on the side of the cake had fallen of and there was a dead fly in the icing. I had not opened the box before getting it home and getting ready to sing. I ordered the pizzas and cake one day before and prepaid. The pizza was to be ready at 4 pm. They were cold when I picked them up. We ate them at 5 pm. The kids refused to eat then because the were so hard and the cheese tasted funny. The adults tried there best. When I returned to the store for a full refund, they accused me of not checking the cake before I took it and that the fly could have got on the cake after I picked it up. The manager refunded me $50 but refused a refund for the pizza because it was partially consumed. I guess I was supposed to rip it out of the adults hands and leave them with nothing to eat for dinner. Embarrassing for me and ruined the family function. DO NOT TRUST ST PHILLIPS for your important family functions. read more

I came here because I heard from a friend that St.Phillips has some of the best cakes in town. The bakery is bustling with tons of customers in and out. So I definitely felt I could trust that I could buy a cake here. I bought a cake here today and to my surprise, I am extremely disappointed in the quality. We bought a small lemon yogurt cake for 22$. Everybody in my family tried the cake and everyone's slice was partially frozen in the centre of the slice, and the cake itself was so hard and dry! I am certain that this is a stale cake and was freezed, thawed, and probably re-freezed as it was so unbelievably dry. This is just so upsetting, especially because it was for a family member's birthday. I am so disappointed. read more

Im not one to review much and to overlook a lot of things but this time I just really have to say that it's sad when the food or goods of an establishment are great but the customer service is terrible.... I have been to this bakery many times, and most (not all) of the people who work here have a terrible attitude like as if it irritates them to help you. Many times when I have asked for help or if I need something (bread,cold cuts..etc.) I have to wait for someones conversation to end followed by a bad attitude and slow service. Simply said if you don't like/want to work stay home. Sadly I feel the cause of all this is nepotism read more

So this place is delicious! I called about 45 minutes in advance and found that they had a strawberry cheesecake ready made. By calling in advance, they had the birthday message already prepared on the cake and ready to pick up. They also have candles for sale right by the cake pick up stand. In addition, they have a beautiful cabinet full of pastries. I bought a couple of gluten free treats, cannoli, and a delectable, delicious chocolate filled chocolate éclair. They also have a hot food station at the back, where I picked up some lunch to go. I'm super happy, and the cake was well received. Totally a crowd favourite. My coworkers will also be coming here in the near future to buy some cakes of their own! read more

The food pretty good , the pastries and cakes are absolutely delicious. The service is not good. There seems to be a nonchalant attitude.

This bakery is the best in the area. My favorites are Calabrese baguette, pastry Danish, prosciutto rolls. Gelato is good price and generous in portion. Day old bread is a great bargain. You get 2-3 Danish for $2.50. Staff are not so much friendly sometimes. No smile is usual at this bakery. But I still come back here for good bread. read more

I am giving this place a 3.5 stars, but this is based on number of years of experience. I have been ordering cakes and buying their baked goods and hot lunches for some time now ( since 2011). Food is 4 stars, but service tends fluctuates ( 2-3 stars). Red velvet cake is my favourite! However, I have tried their other cakes like tiramisu, carrot cake and coffee cake which were also good. I have and would recommend this place apart from the service to others. read more

Popped in this morning looking for some snacks for my kid and her friend. Lots of delicious looking things, but bakeries are dicey when working with an egg allergy. I gave up finding them something. I did get a zeppole to try for myself. Note if you don't like getting your hands messy while eating then sit down and eat this with a knife and fork. I took mine to go. It was a sticky, oozy mess. Tasty, but I only ate about a third of it - that was rich and messy enough for me. read more

I've been a longtime, loyal customer, always going to St. Phillips for all my desserts, especially for special occasions. I will have to find another place now. St. Phillips service is terrible. They have messed up on 2 special order cakes, even though I included a photo of the cake I wanted. The person on the phone taking the order is not very detailed and doesn't ask the proper questions to make sure the order is taken correctly, And they do not include the photo when they create the paper order for the bakery. I won't be ordering from them anymore. read more

St.Phillips has made many of my cakes for family events and they always do a great job! They make the best Sfoliga in Vaughan, and their Lemon Yogurt is game changing.

A must try is their chicken Foccacia sandwich! read more
