Tartistry is an interesting place. It is located in a small plaza and I can't see inside from outside. I have to open the door to see the nice little world. There are varieties of tarts like blueberry, maple syrup, cheesecake, lemon curd and etc. They are very good and good qualities. I am very happy to find this place. read more

I just have to say wow . Special shout out to their butter pecan tart and the cheesecake butter tart, best butter tarts I've ever had so far! They give discounts if you buy 6 and even more if you buy 12 tarts. I got 7 tarts because I wasn't sure how much we would like them. But after trying them we finished those 7 tarts in 24 hours! Diabetes here we come lol. I feel like my favorite was the cheesecake butter tart, and my fiancé loved the pecan butter tart, but there wasn't a single butter tart from their location that I didn't like, so you can't really go wrong. We tried the traditional, the raisin, maple and walnut, pecan, and cheesecake. I saw that they have a s'mores tart too but you have to order it in advance, but they can make all kinds of other cool flavors with advance notice. Pro tip: park in the alley and go through the backside, it's easier. read more

All week my friend had been craving a butter tart. As a Yelper and foodie it was my mission to find her a legitimate place to satisfy this craving. I found Tartistry on a list and I'm glad I took us there. This shop is a cute little place in Etobicoke; I can't believe how many times I've passed by it. Nonetheless, their specialty is tarts! The cherry on top was that everything is Gluten Free which was great for me, they also had vegan options and other delicious sweet and savoury treats too tall to list! My friend was satisfied and the woman, Ana was a pleasure to meet. Will be visiting here again for all my gluten free, cookie and tart needs! read more

Kept seeing butter tarts so finally bit the bullet here since I had heard that the ones here are especially good. At $4, this was a bit more than other places but I think it's probably justified given all the options to choose from and how well they're made. We got the walnut one and I thoroughly enjoyed that. It's also bigger than it looks! read more

Tartistry - Walnut butter tart - Desserts Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We first had Tartistry butter tarts from their kiosk at the Distillery District. They were so delicious we decided to hit their HQ before heading back to the US. The main store is a cafe with a few tables available for patrons who want to enjoy their treat(s) onsite. I arrived about ten minutes before closing time and was surprised to find a three person band playing some live jazz music. The place is low key with a focus on the product. The staff members I've encountered at both locations are super friendly which makes the experience that much better. I'd like to open up their first U.S. location if they ever decided to branch out! For now make your way to their Etobicoke cafe or Distillery District locations. Highly recommended! Enjoy! read more

While at the Royal Winter Fair I wanted to do a personal butter tart comparison. The pecan butter tarts from Tartistry were far and away the best! These are the best butter tarts I've ever had! read more

I was at the distillery district this month and won a free butter tart redeemable at the Tartistry booth. I chose from a variety of flavours and each one had a tiny cute cut out design on them. Some of the flavours were very unique too - that i've never seen used for a butter tart. So I'm a huge pecan butter tart fan so of course I had to choose the pecan flavour. It's really too bad the tart was basically frozen because of the weather and they just let them sit out like that. But it was DELICIOUS albeit really cold. I can only imagine how much more delicious it would taste if it was warmed up. read more

This place truly has the BEST tarts in all of Toronto. I have been blown away by this shop and the absolutely exquisite selection of tarts available. The gluten-free options are beyond magnificent. I am told that the bakery does use flour on some days, but that they never have issues with cross-contamination because they don't use flour on the same days that they bake anything gluten-free. It is not often that I am able to find gluten-free desserts that are filled with flavour, don't fall apart, and don't have strange consistencies. I can confidently say that these tarts did not taste "gluten-free" and that I was pleasantly surprised. I tried the butter tart and the raspberry tart. I simply can't pick a favourite. They were both delicious and filled with a flavourful filling. The filling manages to be both rich and light at the same time. I will have to go back and try the various other flavours available. I hear you can call ahead and have a chocolate peanut butter tart (which is calling my name)! The cafe is very quaint and charming. The service is phenomenal. I would highly recommend this shop for a nice tea and tart. I will be coming back soon. read more

These are excellent tarts! I bought a dozen. Some flavours I liked more than others! Example. I loved the coconut, peanut butter and chocolate, raspberry, regular. Lemon curd was the best I have ever eaten anywhere. Roasted almond and white chocolate good too. They were spectacular! I didn't love the blueberry as much, even though I loved the raspberry! I do realize that this makes no sense! Definitely check them out. Yes they're expensive at $3 each. But worth it. read more

This was a somewhat odd find. Looking to pick up a dessert for guests on the trip back from Costco this place's name popped up. Decided to give it a try. The place has a very kitschy setup right from the display window as once I walked in there was a LIVE jazz band playing. There was an odd placement of tables as it was difficult even to get to cashier (maybe a weekend thing). They have quite a few options with a gluten free option to boot as well. I also saw some whole crumble pies on offer if you are planning to entertain a crowd. Decided to go with a a variety of tart options to try a few flavors. The lemon tart was just being filled so had to have those. Picked up a couple of coconut, blueberry and maple pecan. The lemon tart was decent with a lot of buttery goodness. Blueberry was average IMO. The coconut version which I didn't try was quite a hit (especially for a guest who can have only lactose free dessert) The guests were wowed, I was OK. So if you are into this type of tarts I would recommend a visit. 3 Star for moi with a half star thrown in for being a crowd pleaser. I will revisit to try the pie crumble for a larger group. read more

Wow, tried one of their pecan butter tarts today, simply amazing. I have a severe corn allergy and finding desserts or any kind of take out can feel impossible some days. Found their tarts at Healthy Planet and bought one on a whim. I was NOT disappointed, the pastry was flaky, the filling just wow. Will definitely buy again. read more

Having never tried Butter Tarts, my (Canadian! Gasp!) boyfriend and I stopped in to see what they were all about. The shop is cute, with a cozy tea room vibe. There was quite a selection! Numerous flavors of sweet Butter Tarts along with some savory options (quiche, steak and ale pie, chicken tourtiere, etc. - all in the same single serving size as the Butter Tarts), and a variety of baked goods like brownies, turtle bars, and muffins. I believe there was at least one soup on the menu as well. You get a price break for buying multiple tarts (sweet or savory) after 6 pieces, and again at 12 pieces (I believe). We went with a 6 pack to share. Their packaging is really great for take-out! It keeps the tarts separate, so nothing gets squished. We were advised to refrigerate the savory tarts if we weren't going to be eating them that evening, but to keep the sweet tarts out on the counter. (And that they would last approximately 1 week.) I tried... the plain, coconut, and lemon Butter Tarts, sampling them over 2 days. The plain was good. The texture inside was unlike anything I'd ever eaten before, but not overly sweet or cloying. The coconut was delicious! I liked it more than the plain, although now that I have had a regular Butter Tart I would not turn one down if someone offered me one. ;) The coconut flavor was not overpowering, nor was it that fake too-sweet coconut taste that you get in a lot of coconut sweets. It was perfect! The lemon was my personal favorite. I had it for breakfast with a cup of coffee. The filling was silky, and managed to be both delicately flavored and rich at the same time. A+! read more

Tried a pecan tart for the first time from Tartistry. OMG, sooooo good. Not heavy at all and just melted in my mouth. I will never be able to drive by without stopping in. Mmmmm read more

I visited Tartistry Saturday afternoon. Oh boy, I'm not sure what I expected but I was extremely surprised upon entering. One way to sum up this cafe is quaint. They have a live jazz on Saturday afternoons. They have placemats!! How many cafes have you visited that have PLACEMATS! My boyfriend and I were the only 20-somethings there. Everyone was so old. I feel like I stepped into a time portal that transported me back to the 1950s. I ordered the bluberry tart and it was delicious. The boyfriend first ordered the lemon tart but the person in front of us took the last one. Instead he settled with the maple walnut tart. It was also delicious. The service was excellent and the staff are extremely friendly. I highly recommend this cafe. Just don't expect a conventional Starbucks/Tims/Second Cup cafe. It's nothing like that. read more

The two butter tarts I tasted from This place were phenomenal! The peanut butter chocolate and the original butter tart flavour were nothing short of what i would imagine the perfect butter tart to be. thankfully this place is nowhere near my house or place of work otherwise I'd develop the physique of Santa Claus. Check out their stand at the christmas market. I hope this place delivers (no i dont) but a MUST TRY for anyone who loves butter tarts or just delicious, delicious food. read more

I have never been a big fan of tarts; they always seemed boring and nut-filled to me (I'm allergic). But their smores tart converted me; the fruit ones were also safe and yummy! The shop is a mixture of cafe and antique/knick-knack shop. It is as if your grandma put all of her cherished belongings on the wall - the kitsch and mismatching is a perfect setting! The owner is also a sweetheart. I think they are closed Sundays, which is unfortunate for a tea place. read more

Now this is the story all about how My life got flipped, turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there I'll tell you how I found this cool new café to share. In Western Toronto, born and raised The Tartistry is where I spend most of my days Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool And all shooting some lattes outside of the school When a couple of desserts they were tasting so good Started Yelping AWESOME in my neighbourhood I got in one little review, and The Tartistry prepared "Now everyone go get lattes, desserts and WiFI impaired" I whistled for deliciousness and when it came near This place screamed "FRESH" with a price in the clear. If anything I could say, this Decor was rare But I thought nah, forget it, " What else can compare?" I was, feeling so full after seven or eight And yelped it OUT! "Yo, homes yes they cater!" Looked at this kingdom, I was finally there To sit on my throne, now Tartistry's flare. read more

If you like your sweets very rich and...sweet, the tarts definitely embody that. Each one is about $3 and you can choose from a variety. I got blueberry, raspberry and pecan. The first two tasted like it, and wasn't as heavy. The pecan was very buttery.. So if you're into that, you'll love it. The place sells odds and ends and does high tea. But not many tables. Pretty pricey, but if you have a sweet tooth I'd say give it a try. They take all forms of payment. read more

There's a lot to love about this place. Their tarts are tasty (my personal favourite is Blueberry), it's all gluten free, the shop itself is full of artsy charm, and the staff I've encountered have all been very kind and warm. I typically pick up a half dozen tarts to go, but they very often have live musicians performing in an intimate setting. It's great. read more

A hidden gem in my neighbourhood. The interior is sweet & quaint. You feel like you are in your grandmother's or favourite aunt's living room & she wants to feed you yummy tarts & tea. Got the classic butter tart. Would have loved morw filling but the crust is out of this world!! It is so buttery & a hint of salt. A must try. I could eat 5 of these read more

The first time I tried these butter tarts was almost 3 years ago and they have a special place in my heart to this day. They're made by lovely people who genuinely care about their customers. The tarts are DELICIOUS and I very highly recommend you check them out read more

Drive past the store front many times and decided to drop in for some good butter tarts. The interior is very quaint and filled various small antiques. Purchased 2 plain and 1 pecan butter tart to go. And for 3 butter tarts the price was overwhelming clocking at over $10. Outrageous. I can find better tarts and for better price elsewhere because $10 for 3 tarts (over $3 per tart) is definitely a turn off for me. As for the taste, the pecan has a bit of salt in it which was nice, it gave a nice contrast to the sweet. I'm thing the touch of saltines comes from the crust (which nice and flaky - perfect). The plain was good but I'd definitely has better (butter tart store in Maynooth, Ontario - These tarts of THE BEST!). The biggest problem I have with these tarts is the texture of the fillings. A great butter tarts has a smooth filling but these ones has a texture almost like clumps of gelatin - not smooth at all. Good butter tarts, but based on my issues with the weird gelatin texture and it being overly priced, I definitely won't being returning because I can find better tarts at a lower price elsewhere. read more

YUUUMMMMMM! How has this strange gem of a place been hiding on the Queensway all this time?! My boyfriend and I bought an assortment of the lemon curd, raspberry, cheesecake, and coconut, and they were all incredible. Couldn't tell that they were gluten free at all, they tasted exactly like the flaky, delicious treats of my wheat-loving past life. Will definitely be making a pilgrimage out here in the future read more

Almost everything is gluten free. So delicious! Saturdays they play live Jazz. Very cozy environment. Love this place.

My first time here and the regular butter tart was amazing! The owner was friendly too. Ill definetly be back!

My husband saw this business on news in the TV and he thinks it looks like a very unique place. As we were driving by the place, we decided to check it out. We both had lunch plate: savory tarts with mixed green salad, tea and butter tart. It was yummy! Everything is made here from scratch using all natural Ontario butter, organic 12 grain flour and other local ingredients. The service was friendly and personal. I will definitely come back here with my friends. Next time, I will try their coffee and I would also like to try their afternoon high tea. read more

OMG the butter tarts are amazing! The guy selling them at Taste of The Kingsway is a hoot. Great combo of personality to match the product!

Lovely place. I was searching for a cafe with sweets and got this place as an option. The coffee is great and the ambiance is very unique and cozy... I just love it and will be back for sure read more

Excellent butter tarts. Especially liked the pecan, maple and blueberry. Not kid friendly though (lots of breakable stuff in store). Slow service. read more

Decadent and delectable! Picked up 4 flavours at the Royal Winter Fair and was enjoying every bite of butter tart goodness (Highly recommend the Nutella, Cheesecake, and Roasted Almond flavours)! The unique flavours add a nice touch to an already classic tart. However, the old faithful (in my opinion), being the pecan tart, was excellent as well! Five stars! read more

This is an amazing bakery! Everything is gluten free and delicious. The scones are moist and the tarts are just fantastic. I also had the savory tarts and enjoyed those as well - especially in their full size. I will definitely be back. read more

Sweet little place that feels you have gone back in time into your Grandmother home. The Best butter tarts I ever tasted in my life! Mine came warm just out of the oven-flaky pastry -not too runny inside and came without raisins (hard to find). Also had an excellent latte. Had to take some home-where they did not last very long. Will go back for lunch they serve little quiches and meat pies with salad. Quiet little Oasis with friendly service-Parking in the back. Wonderful Experience-Worth finding this little hidden gem! read more
