Wonderful gluten free bakery! My family absolutely loved it. We purchased some croissants,…read morechocolate croissants, opera cakes, a birthday cake, and other various desserts. We weren't a fan of the cake itself, it was a bit too dry, but the pastries were the best we have ever had. They were flaky, light, beautiful, the perfect sweetness, and the perfect texture. While we didn't like the cake layer of the cakes, we did enjoy the mousse and ganache layers that composed most of the cake. I could not tell it was dairy free either! There was a big selection and the service was lovely. I didn't feel rushed like I often do at bakeries. The woman with whom I ordered was patient and friendly. It's near impossible to find nearby parking as a disabled person, but that's typical for Toronto proper, not the bakery's fault. I drove over 20 hours to get here and it was so worth it.

We ate our sandwiches quick - the gluten free bread was thick and had a perfect texture. Loved the cream cheese veggie and eggtastic sandwich. The chocolate croissant was so rich and buttery and unlike any gluten free dessert I've ever had! The raspberry lemon cupcake was light and well balanced. The staff were friendly and made great recommendations. A must stop in Toronto for gluten free goods!

I had heard a lot of good things about this place, so we decided to check it out. The host was…read morereally sweet and friendly, which we appreciated. Place was small and cozy. We ordered an iced brown sugar shaken espresso and a pumpkin spice latte. The drinks came out pretty fast. My iced brown sugar shaken espresso was great, but the pumpkin spice latte was way too sweet and we couldn't finish it. For brunch we ordered the farmers breakfast and steak and eggs, but the wait was way too LONG. It took over 45 minutes and we had to ask the server to check on it. When the food finally came out, the steak was cool, not even warm!!! The farmers breakfast was good though. When we asked for the bill, they came out with the machine and gave us free cookies, which was a nice gesture and the reason for the extra star, but overall I probably wouldn't come back because of the long wait and food issues

I stood there for almost three minutes without so much as a "Good Morning, I'll be right with you". No. Just ignored. The two women were busy discussing personal matters. Welp.

Cheers to never again

The place was accessible (I was able to get in with ease with a stroller) and everyone was very friendly. I was on the way to get a loaf of bread so thats what caught my eye first. They had 2 sourdough options , original and rustic and I opted for the rustic. Then we had to grab a pastry as they all looked delicious. As we were leaving I couldn't help but notice their pantry and frozen foods section (which they all make in house) so I grabbed their mac and cheese to go as well. Overall great place and will come back to try more!

This is a great restaurant for those who have allergies. They sell cookies, muffins, cupcakes,…read morecakes (including cupcake cakes), donuts, pies, etc. They also sell cupcake decorating kits! They can handle to special occasions with customized cakes, cookies, and cupcakes. Their food is gluten-free, plant-based and nut-free, made fresh daily. The kitchen is free from gluten and priority allergens (peanuts, tree-nuts, wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, sesame, fish, crustaceans and molluscs). You can also email them with questions about your specific circumstances. The restaurant was opened 2018-05-19 by Matt and Pauline, a husband and wife team. Their son has multiple allergies so they were inspired to help so many other children and adults with allergies, which sometimes can be fatal. You can order directly from their website for larger quantities to get volume discounts. You can order customized savoury meals for $7.95 (small) and $10.95 (large). You start with 1 or 2 base, add proteins, add veggies, and top with warm sauces or vinaigrettes. There are hot/cold coffees, organic teas, and hot chocolate.  They use oat milk since their drinks are dairy-free and gluten-free. Their food has been greatly appreciated and trusted by so many people. They have a "Wall of Fame" with pictures of some of the many children they have helped and the children are so happy with the food. I ordered a Cookies and Cream Cupcake ($3.95) and Oatmeal Raisin Cookie ($2.00) online. The entire process was very simple. You would include your pickup date and time. When I arrived, there where 2 buttons I front of the entrance door (facilitating curbside pickup/takeout). There are buttons for "new orders & questions" and for "pickup & deliveries". Someone (in my case, Matt) would come out within 30 secs. My order was ready in a paper bag ready for pickup. I told Matt that I wanted to take photos of my two items before I ordered a soft-serve slush (a Dole Whip) later so that it didn't melt (it was a sunny 22C day after all!). Matt was very friendly and understanding. While I was taking photos, there were 2 other customers who arrived to make new orders for takeout. They asked questions about the contents of the food before ordering. Matt expertly answered their questions and they were sold! It gives me confidence that the food is legit. I am absolutely no expert on allergy-free food so it is good that I saw 2 satisfied customers. Of course I asked Matt some questions about the restaurant and the food. Then I ordered a vegan soft-serve in a plastic cup ($3.95). The two possible flavours are raspberry and pineapple. Matt even said it is possible to get half-half so I agree since it would make it more photogenic. You might think I choose food based on its look! And you may be right about that! It came out very colourful. Together I had 3 food items with 3 very different colours on a sunny day.. .  a photographer's delight. And I would shoot photos against the bench (with character!) in front of their restaurant. The allergens (especially lack thereof) are listed for each food item. The cupcake and cookie are plant-based, gluten-free, peanut-free, nut-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and soy-free. The Whip is dairy-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free, gluten-free, kosher, and no artificial colours. As for taste, I liked it. You can taste the lack of "bad" ingredients replaced by healthy ingredients. It is a treat for me since i tend too eat foods with too much sugar, salt, and fat. It would be nice to see nutrition facts but I known small restaurants are not required to have them. They are so health-aware but what about their packaging? Are they environmentally friendly? Yes they are! The plastic used for the cupcake is made of plant-based plastic which is recyclable in certain municipalities. The plastic wrapping (which is well sealed) used for their cookies are recyclable if cleaned. When there are no pandemic restrictions, there is indoor dining, free WiFi, washrooms, and wheelchair accessible. There is street parking and if you are lucky, free 1-hour parking. The neighbourhood are filled with restaurants. Review 2021-065 You can also find me on Instagram @chuan_chee. Thanks.

Hype sure knows how to turn a bunch of nothings into something - no gluten, nuts, dairy, eggs and…read moresoy in Hype's hands is no problem at all. My wife and I tried: - Strawberry shortcake and vanilla field berries cupcakes: Amazing frosting, really moist cupcake. Don't know how they did it but the icing had a super buttery consistency, and this plant-based cupcake was light and yummy. - Snickerdoodle and chocolate chip cookies: Not close to the cupcakes but still good. Cookies were chewy versus gooey (not my personal preference), and would have liked bigger and more chips. But overall good, especially considering all the things it didn't have. - Coffee: Gotta find out what oat milk they used since that was good. Happy to hype up Hype since it definitely delivers!

We stopped by here a few weekends ago and had a really great experience. The owner is so nice and…read morewe loved the desserts. The desserts were all dairy and gluten free. We tried the chocolate cake, brownie, sour dough bread, lemon dessert, and the berry tart. The Chocolate Cake: 5 stars The chocolate cake was delicious. It was moist and tender and perfect. It was rich and exactly what I was craving. I would definitely buy this again. The Brownie: 3 stars I found the brownie a bit dry and not rich enough to satisfy my craving. I thought it was just ok but the chocolate cake definitely made up for this. If you want something less sweet I'd choose the brownie but if you want something richer I'd choose the cake. The Sour Dough Bread: 5 stars The sour dough bread was amazing. It was very fresh and had perfect texture and flavour. The crust was crispy and the middle was soft and tore apart perfectly. We each tried a slice but I would definitely go back and buy a loaf. The bread would be great in a sandwich or in French toast or anything else. We will definitely buy a loaf next time we are in the area. The Lemon Dessert: 5 stars The lemon dessert tasted just like pie. It was absolutely delicious and perfect. I would definitely order this again. The Raspberry Scone: 5 Stars The raspberry scone was fantastic. This was actually one of my favourite desserts. It has the perfect amount of raspberry ganache to compliment the crust. I would definitely buy this again too. All over we had a wonderful experience buying baked goods from this bakery. The owner was super sweet and threw in a few goodies for free since it was our first time visiting his store. We would definitely go back. Thank you for all of the wonderful treats.

For those wondering is it worth ten dollars for one cinnamon bun with some icing and apple on top? Sure it is. Once and a while. I wouldn't go here every day. Think of what else ten dollars can help you explore, but are they delicious? Do I keep coming back? Sure. I highly recommend checking this place out, because there's never been a single bite that made me think anything other than "I love this!"

This guilty pleasure…read morewas right across the street from where the activity was and something about "gourmet cinnamon rolls" was enough for us to both know the other was thinking "we have to go there!" We clearly weren't the only ones with that thought as there were three other families trying the place for the first time. The people behind the counter were friendly, helpful and nice. They let us peruse the case of examples and the menu for as long as we needed. They didn't rush us to order and gave us a heads up at the time of ordering how long they would need to get everything ready. Why buy 1 when you can buy more? We bought 4! I had one this morning and it was divine! Another was given to a family friend who we knew was going to have a long day. The third went with the friend I was with and the fourth will likely be devoured tomorrow. The place is casual. There are some places to sit while you wait. The price point is slightly higher than normal but I would expect nothing less when they advertise something as being gourmet. It's also not through the roof expensive, I think it was $7 each. The boxes for each were clearly labeled and the ingredients used were fresh. Definitely worth a visit and having visited once I'm glad I don't live anywhere near this place.
