Located in the cutest little white brick house, you are welcomed with the aroma of fresh baked bread the moment you open the door. We came on a Saturday morning around 11AM. They had sold out of their initial loaves, so we waited a bit for a fresh batch of bread to come out the oven (yum!); the staff were approachable and knowledgeable about their products and process. I couldn't wait to dive into the Farmers Loaf the moment we got home, and wow, so so yummy! Personally, I prefer the garlic butter over the honey butter, though I can see why someone would love the honey butter-- it's super creamy, melty, and slightly sweet. I think it would taste great on pancakes. The website and instagram page say that they are open from 10AM until they sell out, which typically is. ~3PM, so make sure you plan your trip there accordingly. Can't wait to come back for more, and hopefully try the focaccia next time as well. read more

I wanted to check out this bakery for its sourdough bread. It is open Thursday to Saturday 10am -5pm, or until they sell out. We were there on a Saturday at about 12:00pm. Unfortunately for me, they had sold out of the sourdough. There was no dessert available that I had noted in other reviewers' posts. I did not want to leave without a bread so we bought a farmers loaf. It was rustic and crusty. We also picked up a pepperoni pizza slice and a Mortadella sandwich. I think of all the items we bought, I think the sandwich was the best of the three items and also the best value. The sandwich was sliced into two sandwiches, each wrapped in its own bag. That was pretty neat and very thoughtful! This is a cute bakery housed in an environs with a feeling of the countryside. Inside beside the counter for your orders, there is a table to seat about 6. Plenty of parking available at the back. This is a small operation with a small team of three. Expect to see a line-up out the door. Bring cash for payment. read more

It has been a fantastic experience when we visited Baker House Bread this morning. The historic building gives a feel of country side cottage. The parking space at the back is actually pretty convenient. They open at 10:00 AM until it is sold out. So we went there pretty early and arrived at 10:30, we got the sesame ring, there is only one more left. We also got roasted Tomato focaccia. All their bread is hand crafted with organic flour. It tastes quite different, more moisture and chewy than other bakers. The service is so heart warm and make you feel so special. They have rotating menu for the three days they open. There is no honey walnut on Saturday. We will have to go on Thursdays in order to get it. It is a visit that will make you smile. We'd love to go back more often. read more

This is really a hidden gem in the Cathedraltown area. This is a bakery specializing in sourdough bread - but I find that they are so much more than that! I have tried their focaccia and their pizza, which are both delightful, but I have enjoyed their desserts greatly as well. I've had their lemon semolina cakes and their chocolate chip cookies and both really hit the spot. They also have desserts like tiramisu, various cakes, frozen cookie dough and many other goods. The staff are also very kind and will take the time to give their recommendations and help you decide what to get! I have really enjoyed stopping by this cozy bakery and getting a little treat on a "treat yourself" kind of day. Highly recommended. read more

Baker House Bread - Lemon? Semolina Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I've driven past this store many times. It's located inside a house looking structure. We tried the homemade earl grey ice cream and chocolate chip cookie chunk. The Earl Grey was amazing!!! We also purchase the sesame ring bread (it just came out of the oven). The bread was amazing. The service was very good They also sell pizza and treats such as the maple tart which we tried and it was very good. I did wish it had some pecan nuts which I think would be even better... Overall, we had a pleasant experience and will be back to try more goodies and freshly made bread. read more

Little gem of baked bread goodness, tucked away in a quiet corner of north Markham. They are also selling their breads at Fresh Heads Farmers Boutique on 9th line, and they always seem to sell out on weekends. Located in a odd office building, that has a heritage designation, come inside and quick left turn you will step into bread heaven. They are a small boulangerie that features small selection of breads, refrigerated dips, granola, maple syrup and a few desserts. Few tables to dine at inside. Parking in back of building is limited and the pavement has many many potholes right now, so be careful! My eyes caught the rolling cart of round focaccia bread cooling off, that is usually ready around 11am. 10-12 inches, but I somehow devoured one by myself! Two styles offered, the cheese is a no brainer to try. I paired it with the Spicy Labeneh, which is a strained yogurt, similar to a greek tzatziki with a beautiful roasted spice and chilli oil on top. It was a mild to medium spice but just lovely. The pesto labeneh looked like the next to try for dipping this loaf. Farmer bread and sourdough are also great sellers. Sourdough seems easier on stomachs of people with gluten sensitivity, so give that a try if you're not celiac. Dessert today was Zeppole, which is like a french eclair base in a piped rounded mound, filled with a light vanilla cream and cherry. Cream is similar to a light custard meets whipped cream not quite pudding but not whipped cream or cake frosting... which is where my mind goes every time I hear cream. Yes it is good, I could easily eat three they are so light. Poached Pear Honey Cake: super super moist and delish! If you enjoy spiced baked good, similar to gingerbread, molasses like treats, this will be a winner for you. Cash payment preferred. Swiping plastic, they will charge you $2 for the terminal fee. Hours are not typical, 10am-5pm some of the week. Call first if you're not nearby. The bags of granola looked amazing. More yummy things to try on the next visit. read more

I have this tendency it seems to go to places earlier than they open and startle the people that work there..... Popped into Bakerhouse Bread this morning to pick up a loaf of their delicious sesame ring and their chocolate chip cookie. Chocolate chip salty sweet, crispy around the edges chewy in the middle. Sesame ring still yummy but size wise noticeably smaller than the one I purchased first time I came. Actually all their bread looked smaller..... not sure if it's rising prices of flour, or if it was an off day and their starter wasn't as active. Loaves just seemed flatter than normal. Again taste still yummy. read more

Baker House Bread - Sesame ring, chocolate chip cookie, lemon olive oil cake, hibiscus shortbread - Bakeries Near Me - Markham, Ontario

This hidden gem locates in a historical complex in the quiet neighbourhood near the butcher shop I always go, their operation hours are very limited. I was so glad to see they still opened on Saturday afternoon on my way to get meat. I was greeted by very friendly staff. It was operated by only two people. The guy patiently introduced the products still available. Since it was Saturday afternoon, their popular sourdough bread was all sold out. However, I was able to grab the last two cardamom morning buns. He explained to me how cardamom tasted different from cinnamon. He also told me to check out their website next time to preorder their breads. The morning bun was so delicious and moist. It tastes very natural and not overly sweet. It tastes very similar to canele which has a caramelized top with a very moist and soft inside. I will definitely wanna go back to try their famous sourdough bread and other goodies. I love this bakery very much. The owners are passionate with their products and super friendly; they don't have fancy decor or massive social media promotion. The owner said they will have something new on Sunday. Looking forward to trying that !! read more

Solid bakery that specializes in sourdough! Even their sesame ring is sourdough as well. Interior looks like a country café. There was a group of retired ladies enjoying some pizzas out in front where they had some tables/chairs out on a lovely Saturday late morning. Friendly male staff member sold my BIL some of their flour 'cause he bakes as well. There were some day olds at the counter for -50%. Fresh loaves were $8. Reason for 4 as opposed to 5 stars is that 1) nothing is displayed, everything is behind the counter, 2) not much variety, only a coupla bread options, pizza, I didn't see any pastries. Maybe they ran out which seems like a common complaint, and 3) as per their hours of operation, they only seem to be open half of the week. read more
