Very solid 4* rating! Not sure why it took me a decade to check this place out, after a recommendation from an older European lady had recommended this place to me. It's definitely a "hidden" gem, tucked around the corner from Kipling Stn, in a really industrial area. Think a bunch of auto body and other older looking, unkempt buildings with cars parked out in front. There's parking in front of the bakery café and you hafta climb up a flight of stairs to go in. Not really accessible for older or customers with disabilities. When I arrived, the chairs were already on top of the tables. And after checking the hours of operation, they're only opened 'til 5pm, including Saturdays. They sell whole and cakes, pastries, but the slice/piece. Prices aren't posted, but it was just under $10 for 2 pieces that I got. When I arrived, near closing, they had B1G1 free on their tiramisu, so I saw that as a sign. They were delicious and still tasted free, not too sweet! (I took a pic of their price list and it seems very reasonable!) Judging on what they offer and what I've read, they have Austrian/German roots. Lady who helped me could've been friendlier/enthusiastic, but again, it was the end of the day. So I'm not going to hold that against her. I'd definitely check it out again...but it would hafta be during the day/Saturday! read more

What a lovely little cafe, unexpectedly in the middle of an industrial part of Toronto! I dropped in for an espresso and a treat while I was getting my car serviced. It was 3:30 pm, so the cafe was empty. The selection is beautiful and they make everything fresh. I chatted with one of the owners (maybe?) and she talked about some of their specialties and special orders. She served me at a table even though I was only getting a small snack. I'll definitely come by again, and next year I'm ordering one of those German fruit cakes. :) read more

Fantastic bakery! Great selection of all sorts of different yummy desserts to choose from. Their bishop torte is incredible, all you chocolate lovers make sure you give it a try! Can't go wrong, friendly owners, friendly staff, and no matter what you end up getting chances are that it'll be delicious! read more

The best way to judge this establishment is go in and read the responses of any complaints made. Responses are very self-revealing. Only a true 'whack job' would write these vile responses. There is definitely a pattern of abuse to customers. The food is brought in from the outside not baked on the premises as purported. read more

Today I had the opportunity to try the walnut supreme cake and orange slice cake. The walnut cake was beautifully presented with layers and layers of chocolatey goodness. At first, I was a bit skeptical about the orange slice cake but you have to give this one a shot. It was the perfect combination of chocolate and citrus creating a unique and delicious taste. If you have a sweet tooth, this is your spot! I highly recommend The Sweet Gallery! read more

I was here for lunch and found it quite good. It's in the middle of a really run-down industrial area which is a little weird given that the atmosphere of the restaurant once inside is that of a quaint European Bistro. But once inside it's really cheerful and the dessert case is really a sight to behold. For lunch they mostly seem to do soups, salads and sandwiches. I had what was called a burek which was phyllo pastry filled with cheese and spinach. So the place is good for a light lunch. Now after the light lunch I indulged in what else but a piece of one of their many delicious-looking cakes, along with a cappuccino. You can get a little out of control here given the amount of dessert options that they have all staring back at you from their glass case. I forget which cake I had but it was of the rolled variation and it was absolutely scrumptious. If you are in the area and craving some dessert, I highly recommend this place. read more

Many years ago we were regulars the Bloor West location and now tucked away on Bering Ave it is still our "go to" for the finest European pastries and coffee. If you want authentic European cakes and sweets, it is the place to go! The Black Forest cake with real whipped cream is heavenly! We have always been impressed with the home baked treats and seasonal menu items. You will be glad you found this gem! read more

I fall in love with the look of the pastries and cakes!!! I don't consider myself like a girly-girl. But I did like the look of those shinny and fancy chandeliers; and the feeling of being hanging out in a place in where Marie Antoinette could appear... There is a terrace, and the street is not busy, so is ideal for chilling while enjoying some delicious snack. The ladies working there are polite and helpful. I really recommend to pass by. read more

I heard this bakery serves authentic European cakes so I popped in just to check it out since my colleague's birthday is coming up. They were a few people in there eating but it was really, really quiet. They had beautiful cookies, pastries, cakes, etc. but prices were not marked. I felt like the lady behind the counter was pushing me to make a decision so I just ended up ordering a Burek (spinach and cheese filled pastry) to go for $4.15. She warmed it up for me and I ate it when I got back to the office. It was really, really flakey with lots of filling but I thought it needed a bit of salt. The pic I posted doesn't do it justice as it weighed a ton; I couldn't finish it. I'm definitely going back to pick up cookies when it's my turn to bring treats into work! read more

I was there once and never again ....The pastries and cakes are delicious ,you can find same quality in other bakeries with a nice excellent service ...Not in this place .The owner '' Lady Sweet '' so rude and likes to humiliate the costumers ...All my years in Canada i have never experienced this kind of behavior toward costumers .... So people be aware !!!! read more

The apple and the cherry strudel was so so good. Flaky, great flavor and just yum! They coffee shop wa very busy with a nice looking menu

Today, we drove 50 km from Pickering to Etobicoke to visit this Pastry shop and it was really worth it. The shop is not in a fancy or luxurious neighbourhood but the decor is elegant , clean , simple and the ambience is bustling. You can find European cakes, Viennese cakes and other fine pastries here . They have been in the business since 1974 and we had the chance to see the second generation owners Gordie (son) and his wife ( Angie). They are very nice, kind and sweet couple. The ingredient of the food and pastries we tried were fresh and of good quality. Their top sellers are the cranberry apple squares, German cheese squares, Strawberry Romanoff. They also have a nice cafe that you can sit and enjoy their coffee and delicious foods. If you buy six and more pastries you don't pay Tax. This coming valentine's day, treat your loved one to a sweet date and visit this place and as Angie will say 'have a sweet day". read more

I'm sitting here drooling, just thinking about this place. When living in Etobicoke, this was a hop skip and jump away...it's a wonder I wasn't 600lbs! This is the main store, and it is a wonderful place to pick up a little something out of the ordinary. They will do phone orders - which I recommend if purchasing whole cakes. In the fall they do a to-die-for chestnut roll. A large one will feed 10-12 people, or a seriously deprived sweet aholic like me! Go out of your way and try this place - real European bakers, not the sickly sweet stuff you get at the grocery store.....real ingredients. Their tart cherry strudel is wonderful and crispy as well as their Lemon rolls. Tender sponge cake filled with a delicious light lemon filling YUM! I dare you to get a better Sacher Torte, or Dobos Torte . ENJOY AND WIDEN OUT! read more

I received a box of cookies from this bakery as a thank you gift and they are amaaaazing! Filled with different types of jam and dusted with powdered sugar, these cookies are just soooo good and addictive. Made with butter, they just melt in your mouth; just be careful not to make a mess as you enjoy them! read more

Wonderful decor inside very traditional European luncheon spot. Food is more geared for Hungarian, for the goulash which is pretty good, served with crispy crust French baguette.. Sandwiches are more what you find in These places, crab salade, egg on crossai nt, chicken schittez, read more

We have been going to Sweet Gallery since they opened many decades ago. They did our wedding cakes. Their cakes are always delicious and real. My favourites are the cheesecake and the Dobos. Once you have had their cheesecake it is difficult to eat others...it is THAT good. What makes them so special? Many things...the recipes, the ingredients, the "art"...too many to mention. This is how cake should be, and they have seriously spoiled me for all other bakeries. read more

Awesome European dessert bakery with a surprisingly delicious breakfast and lunch menu. Simple yet highest quality. Delicious cakes!

Lunch was below average. Chicken cabbage soup is bland. My friend's Caesar salad was drenched in dressing. Quiche was limp and overheated. However, sweet treats are always good and reliable. Great cookies, cakes and desserts. read more

They have the best goulash-takeway with salad a weekly treat. Nice staff and friendly environment. Recommend their pastries. Once the lockdown over, they have a small patio. read more

After I saw the ad for this shop I decided to try it. It sure wasn't worth the drive to Etobicoke. I don't know if the waitresses were having a bad day BUT no one was friendly. I felt like it was a chore to serve me. She dropped off my cake and coffee and left. When I went to pay I wasn't asked how I enjoyed it or if everything was to my satisfaction. She took the money and gave me my change without a word exchanged. I won't be going back that's for sure!!! read more

I always pass by this place going home from Kipling, but today I stopped by. I'm so happy I did. I had a slice of their torte (cake) for $5 and it was the most amazing slice of dessert I've ever had. So much better than $7 slices at the cafes downtown. read more

The desserts here are spectacular, everything looks good and taste good! Very Authentic!

My Mother purchased a baptism cake for my boys from this place.I was extremely disappointed.The instructions which were given to this man was simple plain white cake with a blue and silver rosary and the boys name in blue or silver.What we got was a cream looking cake which had two butterflies,four flowers,purple dots all around,the boys names in black and blue and the rosary beads some had twelve others had eighteen.Who on earth puts flowers and butterflies on a boy cake?THIS WAS A DISASTER.WILL NEVER BUY FROM HERE AGAIN. $130 WASTED read more

AMAZING! The best cookies and cakes I've ever eaten. My wedding cake and sweet table was exclusively from Sweet Gallery and we were amazed with the detail and delicious pastries and cake. The food they offer is also so tasty! YUM YUM YUM... Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

This place, is by far, the best European bakery in the city of Toronto. I would honestly compared to some of the best bakeries and I've been to in southern Germany Austria and France. They have a excellent selection of pastries, and fine cakes. They really have no comparison when it comes to pastries and cakes. Esterhazy tortes, ischeler tortes, Hungarian style sachet cake! I met with the owner who once trained in St. Moritz at the famous Hanselman bakery. Truly world class desserts. read more

I've been going to the sweet gallery for years I'm just sad that the location on Bloor street west has been closed. Walking into the cafe greeted by the rich aroma of European cakes, pastries and coffee never lost it's appeal. There's nothing else like it in the city! read more

It's a lovely place to stop for a salad and sandwich or even just for a slice of cake and coffee. Very European, good service and quality baked goods. Kind of reminds me of Vienna. read more

Lovely pastries, and a nice place for lunch, but a bit pricey.

Ordered a lemon cake for a wedding on Saturday- requested blue and pink flowers only. Upon pick up, they had used mocha, brown flowers that ruined the taste of the lemon. Too late to reorder and they offered no alternative. Owner kept saying it would taste great. Guests complained of overwhelming mocha flavour and no one would eat the cake. MAJOR disappointment!! read more

While this place is known for its cake and pastries, their ham quiche was the best quiche I have ever eaten. It was soft, moist and extremely smooth. I would come back again and again just to eat quiche. read more
