I hate to give only 3 stars but my experience when buying a $4 muffin shouldn't be so gruff. I tried being friendly since it was my first time in. When I asked what was the best selling muffin it wasn't to feel bad for asking. Anyway I got a lemon cranberry and it was dry with little flavor. I hope they can improve. read more

Right after the Christmas/New Year's holidays I was visiting Toronto and a couple of my usual go-to gluten-free places were closed, probably recovering from many extra hours of baking to feed the gluten intolerant masses. While in Kensington Market I noticed Bunner's and bought a couple of cupcakes. I'd wanted a savory pocket pastry but the counter assistant told me they were pretty heavy on soy products so I passed on that. I ate half a cupcake and all I could taste was sugar. Poor bakers think that overdoing the sugar will hide the fact that the item is not great. It doesn't work for me. I truly dislike really sweet stuff. It's bad for us, it puts our bellies out of whack and it's so unnecessary. Almond Butterfly and Defloured are so much better that they are on an entirely different playing field. read more

this vegan gluten free bakery in the midst f kensignton market is decent. I have been to this location a few times and I haven't been incredibly impressed with their products. I have tried their savory pocket.. it was kinda dry and not anything special. I have tried a few of their cupcakes, nothing special and the icing is a tad sweet. Their creamies is just bleh a tad dry and not really flavourful.I also tried their waffle with ice cream which was decent the waffle was dry and not that tasty the ice cream was tasty. If i am in the area and feel like a treat I may stop by, but it's not a real go to place. read more

I have wanted to come here for a really long time, despite not being vegan, gluten free is healthier and the way to go. I decided to finally do it today, because I realized a little while ago that the Augusta location is only 2 km from my work. The service was nice, and the cashier was able to answer all my ingredient-related questions. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they bake GF bread, and I picked it up. It was good for as good as GF bread can be. I also picked up a lemon cran muffin and the mini cinnamon bun, both which were really good, especially the cinnamon roll. However, if you know how regular pastries taste, I do think you can taste the difference, but it's not substantial. Essentially, the pastries are less "fluffy" and more dense. They are still fantastic, though. My only complaint is that the pastries are baked with margarine (of course), and although Earth Balance is a better margarine, it's still a margarine and margarine is garbage (like, it's really bad for you). If you have a pastry here once in a while, then don't feel bad. However, I assume that most people that come here probably use a lot of margarine.. so, sorry to break it to you people... I also wish they had tea/coffee, because it would go so well with the pastries. However, they say they used to carry it and it didn't sell well. I think they should try again! lol. Overall, I am pleased with my purchases. I bake GF at home (without margarine, and no butter either for the past while), but once in a while it's nice to be able to get it elsewhere. read more

If there is a heaven for people with celiac I imagine it will include a Bunner's with access to unlimited cinnamon buns. If you have not been here before don't wait! read more

This place was fantastic. A friend and i recently went and enjoyed a blueberry muffin, which had a surprisingly fresh blueberry flavor, and both the the regular and strawberry sticky buns. Both were fantastic but I preferred the strawberry. read more

Great place for vegan, gf treats! When I first discovered this place (I was recco'd by a friend) I went a little nuts and bought almost everything in the store. My all time favs are the cinnamon buns and the cakes for sure. I will be ordering my birthday cake from here no doubt! There are also options for sugar-free as well (I attended a kids bday with a bunners cake) also very tasty. Definitely would recommend this place for anyone who likes baked treats! read more

I'm not vegan or gluten free (anymore) but these pastries were delicious! I wanted to try everything but settled on the supersonic cookie (amazing) and the cinnamon bun. Both were fantastic although I liked the cookie more. :) read more

I kept reading about their cinnamon buns so I decided to take the kids and try it today. I told the cashier that I had never been there before and I knew their cinnamon buns were popular and I asked her what else she could recommend. She wasn't helpful at all. I tried a cinnamon bun, supersonic cookie, and pumpkin chocolate chip muffin. I haven't tried the muffin yet. The cinnamon bun was ok. I am vegan and mostly gluten free. I have never seen anyone else offer a vegan, GF cinnamon bun before which is the only reason I think these are so popular. They are not delicious, they are pretty good. If you are looking for a Cinnabon type cinnamon bun...you will be disappointed. The supersonic cookie was really delicious. I would go again for the cookie but not for the cinnamon bun. read more

Awesome mexi brunch pocket and delicious gibber molasses cookies! Make sure to doodle on their chalkboard wall!

I haven't been able to eat a cinnamon bun in years (allergic to dairy, eggs, and now have had to go gluten and nut free as well) and these were amazing!! It was so refreshing and nice to know that I could eat anything and everything in this shop because their products are made with chickpea flour, not like most gf treats which are made from almonds etc. Everything here is sooooo delicious - I just wish you were in Alberta! read more

Amazing vegan bakery! You have to try their pizza muffins. Absolutely the best. Came back one time to grab a whole box. Totally worth it.

This place has the best cinnamon buns I have ever tasted. As someone that's lactose intolerant I also like that they have soy soft serve ice cream. The place looks pretty empty, I just would like more sitting area. You must have a bun. read more

The cinnamon bun was really tasty. There was a low selection of baked goods. Also, it would be nice to have a savoury items as well. The decor, presentation, and service was also lacking . I was expecting more from this place. read more

I'm addicted to this place. I'm not even vegan or gluten free. It's just better! Try any donut and you'll be perplexed that baked goods ever contained dairy of wheat! read more

It is both the BEST of news that there is now a centrally-located Bunner's, and also the worst of news as now it's far too easy to indulge. Incredible products, congratulations folks. read more

The pastries and breads sold here are among the best you can get -- that being said, as much as I love their products, I don't like actually going there to buy them. The people working there (at least the customer-facing ones) seem to genuinely hate their job, and you will never get a smile from them. It's a pity for a shop with such a great concept and such amazing products. read more

The soft serve ice cream is okay, not great, but the mini-blueberry pies are delicious! And the raspberry crumb cake! Nom nom nom! As a vegan, I am very grateful to have this bakery in the neighbourhood! read more

Not vegan or gluten free but this is my favourite bakery in Toronto; I can't walk past without buying a creamie!!!! And brace yourself for the summer when their soft serve takes over your entire life read more

Divine!!! 20/10 omg. My mother who isn't vegan somehow ends up eating all of the pastries I buy from there. This is an amazing spot (heaven) if you're vegan and want to indulge, or even if you're a non vegan just looking for good pastries. Try the date squares! read more

Could this place get anymore awesome? Muffins, hells yes, so good. Cupcakes? If you love chocolate, get 2 of them, 1 for now, 1 for later. They are vegan * gluten free and convenient if you're wandering around the KM. The only thing I would suggest is for them to put some little seating areas (aside from that hideous bench) in there. read more

Wedding cake success!!! I had the pleasure of working with one of the owners to create my dream wedding cake. I happened to work with one of the owners (Ash) who not only was a pleasure to deal with but made the experience beyond simple and an amazing. For a couple, the wedding cake was a big deal for us... Although we are not gluten free, we had some guests who were and wanted to ensure the other 90% of guests would also love the cake. No surprise - No one knew the difference and the cake was a hit. Yes - we served the whole thing! They truly went above and beyond. I would highly recommend them if you ever need a cake order (or anything for that matter). THANKS so much #BUNNERS for everything!! PS - Also check out their cinnamon buns... they are soo delicious. They are what got us hooked! read more

Bunner's is the bomb! I do not think I have one bad thing to say about this place. This is one of the very first bakeries I made my way over to once diagnosed with celiac. Everything is vegan, not to mention also entirely gluten free! Woohoo! My favorite cupcake ever is the french toast one. Some other favorites are the cinnamon rolls, (I am obsessed with cinnamon.. I put that ish on everythinggg) and the whoopie pies! Definitely a gem in the heart of kensington market with another location in the junction! :) read more

I was looking forward to getting a cake for someone's birthday from Bunner's so I called a week ahead. The person I spoke to told me I didn't have to order in advance. So I called 3 days ahead. No one picked up or returned my call. I called again the next day (wednesday) and they told me they didn't deliver on Fridays but wouldn't get it to me on Thursday because it wasn't 48 hours in advance. They offered to cab it to me (at least a $35 cab ride) on friday. I am vegan but I won't bother coming back here, given this terrible customer service. read more

I am in love with this place. I have tried most of their items and can not describe how delicious everything is. Their cinnamon buns are to die for. read more

It's nice to have a gluten free alternative but their baked goods are really heavy. And way too sweet. I love sweet stuff but this is overkill. Cupcakes are not moist borderline dry. read more

I'm torn with Bunners, so I'm giving this place 3 stars for a few reasons: 1) their pastries (or at least the ones I've tried) just aren't really the best in the city. I find their cupcakes dry, their creamies, while delicious, super super sweet after two bites, and their butter tarts really aren't that great either. Then again, I guess that's what happens when baking with vegan ingredients. BUT, other bakeries do it better - vegan and g-free. 2) Their soft serve ice cream - it's delicious, but at the same time, I don't really want to know (or maybe I do?) what chemicals are in there. But then again, it takes me back to being a kid and getting soft serve in the summer. It tastes good and nostalgic. 3) Their bread is AMAZING. While I don't like paying $8 for a loaf of bread, there's something to be said about freshly baked, straight from the oven, loaves. You just can't get that with grocery store bought gluten free bread. And the reason why this place does not get 4 stars - they charge you, no matter how much you're buying, to use their debit machine. They tack on an additional 10 cents. Not a big deal, but if I'm paying $8 for a loaf of bread and $4+ for a cupcake and more, I really think they should eat the cost of that 10 cents. Sorry Bunners, but on principal, I will continue to eat rice cakes with my almond butter instead of regularly buying your loaves. read more

I was/am obsessed with their soft serve but the ice cream cone keeps shrinking! I bought one today and was eating it outside of the shop: thinking how sad I was that it was so small. Then woman who was behind me in line came out of the shop and up to me and complained to me about the size of my cone! I couldn't believe she was thinking the exact same thing! We both agreed that it had shrunk to the point where we both were unable to justify the price for the product. read more

Delicious carrot cupcake. I've been looking for a vegan and gluten free option of this desert for a long time and this might be the best carrot cake muffin I've ever had - gf/vegan or not!!!! read more

Honestly their soft serve ice cream is simple but it's the best. The vanilla and chocolate swirl is the way to go. Amazing!

that chocolate salted butterscotch cupcake was to die for. it was a tad sweet but damn im addicted lol and now im craving... happy that its gluten free and dairy free pleasently surprised. read more

Great gluten free goodies ! Celiac friendly as the whole place is GF(and vegan!), they do custom cakes and always have the order ready on time. My only complaint is they don't have bags--if I'm coming in and dropping 100$ on stuff I shouldn't have to run back to my car 3 times to load all the goodies because you don't have bags on hand! Or at least offer to have a staff assist me ! Geez ! read more

Being gluten-intolerant, I'm pretty hard-pressed finding places where I can eat or have snack that I can trust, let alone enjoy. Not everything Bunners serves is my favourite, but I have lots of favourites there....cupcakes, the Supersonic cookie and many muffins. This place is my go-to spot. When I take dessert to my non-vegan, gluten-eating friends or to parties, I come here. Everyone is always more than satisfied (and they never know the difference). Worth trying...again and again. read more

i'm a sucker for 'cinnabon' but always feel guilty for having it. bunner's mini cinnamon buns are amazing, great portion but they go too hard on the icing! muffins are great, very filling and delicious! always have to make a stop here whenever i'm in the area read more

the cinnamon bun is the best vegan/gluten free thing i have ever eaten. i was hopeful for the bread and bought a loaf even though the girl at the counter was less than friendly when i asked if they had a bread slicer/machine to slice them. it was typical/awful gluten free bread. and so expensive. i've been trying different ones for years-and hate them all-so it's not just Bunners. I definitely want to return to try more delicious goodies. (and i know they advertise that everything is vegan/gluten free but i can get quite ill if i'm not careful about some ingredients, and their products are not cheap, so i asked....and i know they probably are sick of being ask 1000 times a day but her tone/answer: "it's ALL vegan/gluten free" was kinda snarky. I was NOT in the neighborhood really. I went out of my way to go there to try their treats. i'll probably go back sometime for sweets but was wishing it would be my go to place to get bread every week. Food intolerances are not very fun :-( I'm thankful there was places like this. read more
