We had lunch. The food was ok, but a bit bland. The Italian sausage was more like a very mild kielbasa, hardly any seasoning at all. Might return and try some of the italian dishes. But overall, my sense is that this place is not a keeper for us.

I happened to see a couple of pies sitting on the counter and had to ask them if I could just get pizza or did I have to get the buffet. Finally, I found out that I could get just pizza. So, I ordered a slice of pepperoni and a slice of supreme. When I got my pieces they were cold- not a bit of warmth to them. Had to ask them to heat the pizza for me. When I finally got to eat the pizza, it certainly wasn't anything to write home about.

I don't think they have iced beverages though. Every baked good I've had has been delicious! There's always something new to try and so many options to choose from. If you're looking at the biscottis, I'd recommend the red velvet flavour. The only thing i didn't absolutely love was the pizza. It was very tasty but a little underdone for my liking. I prefer a crunchier bottom. Maybe they cook it 90% of the way so if you reheat it at home it doesn't become overdone? Also, the staff is always very polite and will answer any questions you have. Make sure you check it out!

Like many other…read morereviewers, I find the customer service poor, the vibe very negative, and the employees seem unhappy, which shows in their attitude. Today, I asked both the counter person and the employee making focaccia sandwiches if I could buy a focaccia, and both said no. When I asked to speak to the manager, Lisa replied coldly with "we have rules" and then rudely ignored me while continuing her conversation with a sales representative. Despite explaining my experience, no one offered help or apology. The food is good but overpriced, and given the poor service and unpleasant atmosphere, I would not recommend this place.

Ok I had no idea this was a second location of the famous Toronto Bake Shoppe until after coming…read morehome and searching for their insta. *hand over face emoji* My bf and I were going for a walk in Bolton and saw a "bake shoppe" that I had never seen before. You know my sweets loving a*s had to pop in. During covid there is a maximum of 3 customers in the shop at a time. I was overwhelmed when I saw all that they had to offer. I wanted to get so much more than what we got but I had to chill cuz I stocked up on baked good from Streetsville the day before. We each ended up getting a cupcake and a brown butter Nutella cookie. We ate the cupcake as soon as we left but probably should have waited a bit for them to get to room temp. I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would have. Again, I should have waited a bit because the icing was still cold and not soft enough, same with the cake. It was just ok but not something I feel l would get again. I do love that you can see specks of vanilla bean in the icing. That's how you know it's quality. The brown butter cookie was much better through. The edges were just the right amount of crisp and the centre of course soft, gooey and filled with Nutella. Though I feel like this would work better as a choc chip cookie instead of being filled with Nutella. It was a little too much. But that brown butter flavour was delicious and the few bits of sea salt give your taste buds a surprise. High key though, the majority of the stars go to customer service. The girl working front of the house was so sweet and friendly. She was very informative with all the questions I asked and had an upbeat attitude. Very refreshing. Now that it finally clicked that this is a second location of the Toronto shop, I'm defs coming back (well I was coming back regardless lol) to try the homemade pop tart and Flakey! I fully had the Toronto location bookmarked on Yelp for years and liked so many of their insta posts. Lmao There isn't another bake goods place like this in Bolton, so I'm sure they will be very popular! Oh ya and they just opened in April 2021!

First of all, let me just say that my daughter hates cake. She will lick off all the icing but…read morewill the actual cake part a crumbly, mushy mess. So - I was excited when she went to a friend's birthday party and actually ATE the WHOLE cupcake! It was a Monsters Inc theme and she ate the "Boo" cupcake. Not only was the cupcake adorable and delicious, but inside there was a surprise gummy bear! Needless to say, my daughter's birthday is here and I got the contact info from the friend's mom. We already had the cake booked (part of the package at an indoor playground) but I had gone to the OMG website and saw DISNEY FROZEN OLAF COOKIES! My daughter's birthday theme is, of course, Frozen - PERFECT! Together with a little gift card from Menchies, our birthday guests are getting these adorable Olaf cookies! Valerie and her aunt are the owners. I live in Markham but got to pick up my order in Thornhill, even though Valerie is based in Bolton. Valerie was prompt in answering my many many emails - I was humming and hawing over cookies or cupcakes, but decided on cookies because they travel and keep better. I am very excited to have found Valerie - she is one of these local gems that you won't be able to find on a Google search. Her style is tasteful and everything is delicious! Thanks Valerie - our family has already "sampled" a few cookies and the party is tomorrow. I'm going to have to hide the rest so that we have enough for our guests!

The stuffed pepper was really bad too, no flavour at all. the rice was cooked for this one though thank god. I asked for a little sauce on top and it was flooded in the sauce. The food was so bad I actually had to return it and get a refund. it is not true Italian food it's actually a disgrace to italian food in general. I will not be returning. Also the gentlemen with 2 sleeve tattoos told me that the reason why I don't like it was because the food wasn't prepared to my own personal preference and this simply was not true it was very poor quality food, I will be telling everyone about how bad the food was. and about how crappy the service was.
