The Night Baker just opened in North York, a short walk south from Finch Station. They're offering 20% off, even for credit card payments, during this soft opening weekend.
They have a fantastic mix of regular and creative flavours. The cookies are perfectly crisp on the outside and dense and gooey inside. I got a box of six -- coco pandan, nutty pumpkin, apple doodle, peach mango pie, milo cyrus, and ube tiramisu. My favourites were the coco pandan, which had a texture almost like marshmallow, and the ube tiramisu, with its rich, sweet ube perfectly balanced by a slightly bitter kick from the cocoa powder.
The shop is small with no seating, so it's takeout only. The interior is eye-catching, with bold yellow and black colours. The art is charming too, with references to iconic Toronto things like the Raptors and a trash panda. The soft opening went smoothly -- the line moved quickly, and customer service was friendly and efficient. You could see so many people walking up and down Yonge with a Night Baker box! read more
