Was visiting Toronto & drove pass this place while retuning to hotel a few blocks away & decided to walk back in the morning & check it out. I bought a 1/2 dozen chicken, 2 beef and a few coco breads. Patties were relatively small compared to what a Jamaican patty should be and light on filling. Crust is definitely 10/10 but the filling is a 6/10. Chicken patty filling was surprisingly fairly spicy but flavor was low salt & bland, coco bread was fresh but just ok. My wife said the beef flavor was also bland & like a thick gravy. The crust was flakey & could have help Jesus feed the multitude, a good thing. I am confident they can do way better in terms of flavor, filling portion & texture. Service was above average and they had a few Jamaican sweets & snacks & I would still recommend but my family told me there are better places around. read more

On a whim we stopped by. There's a large display case right after entering of branded merchandise (t-shirts, pins, etc) and then 2 other large display cases of goodies (cookies, macarons, cakes, buns, etc), a smaller case with patties and shelving with more buns/bread. They're a nut free bakery. I was intrigued how they made macarons without almond flour and asked what they used instead but unfortunately the employee didn't know. We got a HK milk tea, one of their jumbo cookies and a pack of macarons.The jumbo cookie was too sweet for us. As you can see from the photo, there's a lot of chocolate chips! Some of the macaron flavours kind of tasted the same but the matcha was prominently matcha. read more

Their blueberry muffins are delicious, as are all of their pastries. Service is great and with a smile. We were recommended to the shop and are so pleased that we tried them out. read more

Bought 2 regular spicy beef patties and 1 chicken patty. The beef patties were pretty decent nothing special. The filling in the beef patties was nice and hot but the bread wasn't as crisp and crumbly that I would prefer. read more

Was in this plaza as our vet is here too. Bought some coco bread, macaroons & patties here. The coco bread is so yummy & the macaroons are also delicious. The prices are reasonable. I don't think they are expensive compared to places like Bake Code. When I'm in the area I will buy & try more pastries here. I posted some pictures & as you can see they have a variety of pastries. Cakes, buns, macaroons, bread, patties, cupcakes, etc. They even have smaller slices of cake if you don't want to buy a whole cake. The service was great. Quick, friendly. The bakery is clean as well. A nice neighbourhood bakery. read more

Great, friendly service and delicious food! The oxtail was so juicy and tender. It also came with a generous portion. Earl grey souffle was made to order, it was perfect in every sense. I will come back for their mango or baileys souffle! Try to call ahead and pre order the souffle to ensure you dont leave disappointed! read more

We ordered a birthday cake for my grandma's birthday. We were given a sheet of paper specifying the flavours they have and the prices. Unfortunately no photos were provided to give us a preview of what we can expect. Luckly there was a chocolate mousse cake in the fridge when we were there so that's why we picked it. We got the 6 inch version and it was $25. Some cheesecake options was $28 for 6 inch. We got to customize the words to be written on the cake and writing in Chinese was available. We ordered many days ahead so it was available when we came to pick it up. It came with a tiny candle taped to the box. The actual cake wasn't as nicely made as I expacted compared with what they had on display in the fridge. The glazed chocolate layer wasn't smooth on the side like it was drizzled by somebody with unsteady hands. I was expecting better quality for the price. The taste was alright, I liked the rich dark chocolate layer at the top and it wasn't overly sweet. But since it was chocolate it got pretty overwhelming after eating a small piece, so getting a smaller cake was the way to go. read more

I passed by this place on my way to my daughter's and decided to try the beef patties. Not even a minute after I dropped it off her place, she was asking me where I bought it. I also ordered a coffee and wasn't expecting much, but as I sipped I realized how good their coffee was- unlike the bitter coffees at Starbucks or Tim's. The next day, I went back, this time I brought my son with me- he confirmed that coffee was really good and he can't stop raving about the Patties, I ordered a dozen to take home. Today, I brought my boyfriend- he had the patty and coffee, I had the strawberry roll and coffee. He knows his patties and he said this is one of the best he's tasted. He liked it so much that he bought a box to take to work. He also had to tell the owner how good the coffee was. The strawberry roll was perfect, refreshing and not to sweet. I'm glad this place is a stone's throw away and we will definitely be back. read more

I went there yesterday to buy some snacks. the male store person overcharged me and then said "no tax" on everything. i bought 6 buns for $1.90 and maybe 5 bucks for strawberry roll. He charged me $21.85. What a cheat. I guess that's how they pay for their store renovations by scamming their customers with a smile. Typical. read more

A little patisserie that offers a wide range of goods including HK bakery goods (giant pineapple buns!), a decent selection of Jamaican patties (beef, chicken, and even mini cocktail ones that you have to order ahead for), and a ton of nut-free cake selection! Even their macarons were nut-free which is pretty impressive since they're almond flour-based. The employee that was working wasn't able to tell us what the substitute was but assured us it was nut free. We wound up ordering a box of macarons and a jumbo chocolate chip cookie. The macarons were tasty! They weren't the exact same consistency as what you'd see in an almond-flour one. The flavours were pretty tasty though - especially the matcha one. Super rich in flavour. The cookie wasn't as great but super impressive to look at since it was so big. There were also a lottt of chocolate chips in them so if you love chocolate this is for you! read more

I decided to try this place once I heard everything they sell is nut free! There is no other place in all of Toronto that sells nut free macarons, so I was very excited to try them for the first time. For those with a nut allergy, they do not use almond flour (which is traditionally used). Instead, they use cucumber seed flour as a substitute. The macarons were very tasty and had lots of flavour, however they were a tad on the heavy side. I would highly recommend this place for people with nut allergies as they have a great variety of cakes, pastries, and small desserts! read more

I was super happy w/ our cake. It was the best looking cake I'd ever seen (yes a little bias) & tasted great. A lot of the guests complimented us afterwards & asked where the cake was purchased... plus we did not spend an arm and leg! Which is why we heart Tastee :) Thank you to Daniel & Bernard for making our dream wedding cake :) It was 6 tiers. They accomodated us & we had vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, strawberry shortcake, chocolate strawberry, chocolate chestnut! ^^ It did not cost extra for the diff tiers so we were extremely happy. Most importantly, they arrived on time (5:30pm) & the cake arrived in top form ^^ read more

Grew up nearby and went here all the time back in the 90's. This is still my favorite patty. I always get extra spicy (it's not really that spicy, the regular spicy is a waste of time). I've since left Canada and always make it a point to stop by here when I'm in Toronto. Can't wait to get back (once the border opens up again). read more

I may have a small addiction to George's Tastee Bread. The name speaks for itself, boy is it ever tasty! I recently moved to the area where George's is located and I am SO happy that I ventured in to try it one day - it's a place I'm almost certain I would have never checked out if I didn't live so close by. I've sampled a few of their desserts, soups, and other miscellany items but what really shines for me here are the breads & pastries. I pretty much exclusively come here for my breads now. Buns, Cocoa Bread, Loaf bread, Banana bread, etc. you name it, they got it! And it's always fresh and delicious! My most favouritestestest item is their coconut buns. Oh. My. Gosh. Little buns filled with heavenly, sugary, coconuty deliciousness. Try some. Eat them. Now! I hear they have some pretty rockin' beef patties, but I haven't had the chance to try'em yet. I'm glad that I live 5 minutes down the street from this place, though the part of me that tries to keep my carbs in check may despise this place a little :) read more

Best cakes and beef patties in town! The creams that they use in their cakes is absolutely heavenly, fluffy and delightfully delicious! Their pastries are not too heavy and not too sweet (but still satisfying enough for my sweet tooth). Also everything is quite reasonably priced. They're a family run business so service and attitude are also top notch! read more

I normally don't write reviews buuuut THE best beef patties I've had in my life! I go to school three hours away but every time my parents come to visit they bring me a box or two of these beef patties. They taste amazing fresh but also just as good when you warm them up yourself! The people who work there are also super welcoming and helpful! Their chocolate chip cookies are on another level! The most chocolate chips I've ever seen and they taste amazing! Not too sweet but just the right amount. 100% would recommend! read more

This place used to be a hit. I feel bad for giving the least amount stars here, but hey I've got a reason. Like Bijan, I used to attend the school across the street from here every lunch I'd most likely eat instant noodles. That was until I found out about Tastee's patties. They were absolutely fresh, hot, filling and delicious, not to mention CHEAP! It used to be only $1.00-1.25 and with cocobread it'd be an extra $0.50-0.75. That was then. I recently went there about 2 months ago and tried a vegetarian patty. I was very dissapointed, because there was HARDLY any filling! Mostly eating the flaky pastry and my friend who ordered a beef patty didn't get as much filling as we used to. In addition, the prices rose! So, let's see what we've got here. Prices go up = Patty filling goes DOWN?! That doesn't seem right to me.. Overall: Please, consider what you're doing and inject MORE (not less) beef filling into those golden flaky patty shells of yours! read more

Very busy business and therefore, may not be the best to planning via email with shop regarding party needs. Phone can also be tricky so in person is best for optimal service. read more

Two words: fresh and friendly. Had the jerk Chicken and the Pork, their red velvet cupcake and their vanilla cupcake... And oh! Their spicy beef patty. Loved the patty and vanilla cupcake the best. Tastees has a lot of other bakery items, individual cakes, dessert and macaron, and even tiered wedding cakes! A one stop shop for your baked needs. Next birthday coming up, or whenever I need a sweet treat for myself, I am heading over to George's Tastee! read more

Good little neighbourhood bakery. The patties are awesome, and they are always fresh and flaky. They have a nice assortment of fresh breads, and chinese buns. The chef is a pastry chef, and this is where he really shines. His pastries are wonderful, especially the rum balls and the almond croissant. A good walking distance place for me! read more

George and I go wayyyy back... he's the best friend I never had.. Oh George. George's Tastee Bread & patties is a pretty kick ass bakery. My mom introduced this bakery to our family a few years ago. The baker there studied somewhere in Europe, I think France or Italy. Anyway, they make really good and fresh desserts. A tradition with our family is their tiramisu cake. For those who don't know what a tiramisu cake is (SAD), it's made out of espresso coffee and lady fingers. There's actual cake in there too, I'm not sure if that's the traditional way to do it. Anyway, it's absolutely delish! It comes in two sizes, I'm not sure the measurements, but it is more expensive then say getting a cake from Loblaws. But it just doesn't compare. They do sell Jamaican patties, though I've never tried. They also sell cookies (gingerbread cookies are pretty good) and chinese buns. Don't let the mediocre name fool you, Tastee's is a great little bakery! read more

Absolutely great little bakery. From pastries, to cakes, to fresh breads, to little chinese pastries, this place has got it all and it's got it good! I used to go to the junior high across the street and this was THE place to grab lunch or after school snack. Try their spicy jamaican patty with cocoa buns, mmmmm good memories! They make a mean garlic bread and you have to try their custard buns and pineapple buns. What am I talking about you have to try EVERYTHING they sell!!! read more

I use to frequent this bakery often when I was younger and remember the treats being delicious. I just so happen to stop by with my boyfriend after going to the bank because we saw a sign that said they had NUT-FREE macarons! I know, I know, you're thinking that's not authentic! Since my boyfriend is allergic to nuts, we bought one just for kicks so he could experience the macaron craze and he really enjoyed it. I took a tiny bite to see what it was like and I thought it tasted pretty decent. Can't want to come back and try more macaron flavours (~$2.50 per or $12 for 6). read more

This is a great family owned place that has been around for ages. I used to eat Patties everyday for lunch when I went to the Junior High across the street. They have since expanded to hot food and excellent pastries and a small seating area. The place gets better and better as there is ways something new. Just saw macaroons! Service is warm, efficient and you are always greeted with a smile. Boys, you've done your parents proud! read more

I've been coming here for years for my jamaican patty fix. But recently I have been buying their Jerk Pork Sandwich, and let me tell you, it is a tasty little sandwich. The jerk pork is moist, fall apart, and jerky. The bun is soft, slightly sweet, and a good counter to the slightly spicy, meaty, jerk pork. And it's only about $5.00 for this sandwich. My only wish is that instead of the lettuce and tomato that they put it with, pair this with a vinegary cole slaw, or creamy cole slaw. Needs something more crunchy and tangy to add to this sandwich. Good job Tastee!! read more

Quality and price for certain items have both gone up in the past few years, but the price is disproportionately higher than the quality. This used to be a mom and pop's shop with a friendly atmosphere, but now it's hard to justify paying almost 2 dollars for a bun when you can get the exact same thing at T&T for 99 cents. read more

I used to only buy patties from this place but once I stumbled upon the location at Don Mills and McNiccoll area I smelled their actual food. Had to try their Jerk Pork which came with a nice sauce and delicious veggies. So on point for the price. Get that dish with a patty and you'll feel full with no regret. See you soon George, lol. read more

Amazing!! Ordered a coconut roll and jerk pork w/ peas. Coconut roll was soft and warm. Great flavor and reasonable price. Jerk pork was good. Meat was cooked perfect. Pastry counter had a great selection of sweet rolls. Even took some home for the mother in law and we don't get along that's how I like these place. They also offer fresh baked bread and sliced bread. Customer service was excellent, seemed like a couple running the restaurant/ bakery. When you use the direction part of this app, it did not get me to where i need to go. The restaurant is on the corner of Don Mills and Cliftwood. The direction only led me to the corner of Don mills and Steeles. Tastees is just south of Steeles. Just an FYI. read more

After trying many, many places for Chinese buns, Jamaican patties and other pastries, we come back to Tastee's as our favorite. Not the cheapest, but quality comes with a price. Despite the similarity of the name with other establishments, this place is a stand-alone entity. read more

my family and I have been coming here for several years to buy bread. the bread tastes natural unlike brands like dempsters and wonderbread which taste artificial to me. I cannot have eggs without it.. I find it to be just that good. It comes in different varieties like regular, whole wheat, sweet bread, kaiser, sandwich, hot dog, and more. They also have a lot of pastries, my favorite is the cannoli. Their tiramisu is phenomenal.. it'll make u hate all the other tiramisus out there. I've served the tiramisu to guests and recommended it to friends.. who all loved it. Service is good too. read more

This is the only shop every time I order a birthday cake from. Their mixed fruit cake is like heaven! Mixed fruits are very fresh and I just cannot resist digging the cake spoon after spoon because the sponge cake is so fluffy but moist at the same time, and not overly sweet. The chocolate mousse tastes so smooth and just that little bit of bitterness balances the sweetness. Jerk chicken/beef/mutton(?)/pork dinner or burger is also served there and I would certainly recommend those also. Owner is super friendly. read more
