Pathetic place for cakes. They are a bunch of cheats. I ordered 2 cakes and both the cakes were disgusting. I have never tasted a more pathetic cake. There was no cream only bread and sugar. The taste of the cake was like a puke. No one ate it and we had to throw the whole cake. Moreover the handwriting by which they wrote happy birthday on the cake was even more terrible. Please never every go there. It is better if you buy a simple cake rather than wasting money on bunners. Even a simple $10 cake would be better than their cake. I would give rating in negative if there was an option. The cake ruined my birthday. read more

Bunner's Bakeshop - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

There are a lot of guilty pleasures hidden in the Kensington market. Bunner's mastered the delicate balance between the "good" and the "evil". The new Bunner's location in Kensington Market is just as delicious as its original location in the Junction. Bunner's serves up some mean vegan gluten-free nearly guilt-free treats at an affordable price! The Supersonic cookie is out of this world. It is packed with organic protein-rich seeds, oats, cranberries and rich dark chocolate! For $2, this meal-on-the-go-cookie is hard to resist! This location also sells soft-serve vegan soy-based ice cream with a vegan cone for $3! If you are skeptical about vegan gluten-free treats, test your assumptions at Bunner's with their delicious cup cakes, muffins or cinnamon buns! You may be pleasantly surprised! read more

The first time I went in to the bakeshop, I was very skeptical on the taste and how it was possible to create the icing without any dairy products but I was amazed at how delicious many of their desserts are. My fave desserts are the Josephine Louise, red velvet cupcakes, and the carrot cake cupcake. The cinnamon buns were a bit odd tasting in my opinion and kind of dry. The only downside is that the prices are a bit high if compared to other vegan dessert shops. read more

Bunner's Bakeshop - Red Velvet Cupcakes - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

For being gluten free and vegan, I was almost fooled. Yes there's lots of sugar, but baked goods are dessert after all. It's a sinful treat for sure. From a price perspective, I think this place is very reasonable. Perhaps a 10-15% premium , but prices are very similar to independent bakeries, and lower than what other vegan/gluten free bakeries charge. I'm a fan. read more

The blueberry cheesecake is awesome! However, everything else is absolutely TOO sweet. Pleaseeee reduce the amount of sugar you use in your baked goods. I'm getting toothaches Love the sustainable packaging though :D read more

Loved the gluten-free bread I got at Bunner's! I got the one with seeds on top and it was quite tasty and I noticed that they have plain too which is great. The staff was friendly and everything is clearly marked and explained when it comes to ingredients. The cinnamon sticky buns were just okay but overall 5 stars for serving vegan and gluten-free food! read more

Have been here many times. The supersonic cookie was good-9/10. The cinnamon bun was ok-6/10.(the only complaints: the size of the bun is too small and the taste of cinnamon is weak) Today I tried the pizza muffin. It was big, moist. There was a lot of vegan cheese and basil flakes in it. But! It was way too salty and it's like the baker poured the entire jar of tomato sauce in a single muffin. Have to give it a 2/10. read more

Bunner's Bakeshop - Pizza muffin. Too salty - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

All night after my experience here I explained to my fiancé what gluten free meant, I seriously hope he gets it now. My Friend decided to take me down to Toronto for pedestrian Sunday , and she also advised me of Bunner's Bake shop. Now I am not allergic to gluten, nor am I vegan, but let me just say to those who are sceptical like I was, don't miss out! I order a brownie, butter tart and a blueberry pie, all of which I finished in one sitting, I just couldn't resist (this is why I had to explain to my fiancé what gluten free meant, because I had to explain why I ate all three treats in one sitting, which probably still wasn't a good choice, but I could not help myself). I started with the brownie, and that soft, chewy, chocolately goodness, and I stopped after two bites because I always save the best for last. speaking of two bites, that's what this brownie reminded me of, it was like a hybrid two bite brownie, triple in size, and with chocolate chunks. I then moved on to the blueberry pie, which was still good to eat, I just wished there was more filling. I ate the butter tart next, and the flavour was there so good and I would definitely be ordering more of it, just the texture of the tart threw me off. I eat butter tarts on a regular basis, so that butter tart here was still great, just a through off in my brain. Then finally I finished that brownie. overall, great place, great treats = happy me and happy tummy read more

For vegan and Gluten-free there is no better. I love ALL their baked goods, sweet and savory. Favorites are their classic vanilla cupcake for sweet, and their Jamaican patty for savory. Their bread is also excellent. It stores very well, and can be cut and frozen to enjoy later. It is on the pricey side, but the quality can't be beat. read more

After trying Almond GF and Vegan Bakery near Yorkville, I was really curious to try other GF bakeries. I never knew how good GF could and wanted to try more. I arrived to Bunners late on Sunday and was still quite happy they had a large selection available. It's take out only but the prompt service made through the line quickly. In the cases, we saw a variety of homey looking bars, brownies, cupcakes, and tarts. They also cookies and cinnamon rolls on top... seeing how EVERYONE was ordering the cinnamon rolls, it clearly was their big winner. We ended up getting a butter tart to try out... I was eager to see if they can replicate the buttery flakey dough. Just under $4, this is a small tart and quite pricey but it does use different ingredients from the normal commercial gluten ones. The tart was pretty good actually... not too sweet, nice gooey interior... though warning, it has raisins! The dough was more shortbread like but it was a fairly good rendition. I would definitely come back to try other things ... perhaps not the buttertart but maybe the brownie! Comparing this to Almond's Bakery... I'd put Almond over Bunners but Bunners is still a very good option! read more

Stopped by at 9am one morning only to find they had adjusted their hours without posting it on the web. Returned later that day and was greeted by a friendly staff. Store was rather quiet. Since this was post-dinner, we jus ordered the vegan ice cream. It was flavorful, but really sweet and almost icy inconsistency. A strong effort, but too sweet for our liking. Will return to try the g-f baked goods when we can! read more

Amazing vegan bakery located in Kensington Market. I got the cinnamon bun, brownie, and ice cream. The ice cream is soy-based, but it was a little too sweet for my liking. The real hero is the cinnamon bun, I could eat it for days Everything tasted fresh, you could tell it was made in-house. Highly recommend for vegans and non-vegans alike! read more

Bunner's Bakeshop - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

hands down the best gf vegan baked goods out there. I've tried many and there are always some good items but some total letdowns but at bunners everything is 5 star quality. My favourites: carrot cake cupcake (cream cheese icing to die for), red velvet cupcake, butter tart, date square, meat pie, and of course the soft serve :) read more

THANK YOU Bunner's Bakeshop for baking such a delicious cake and helping to make our engagement that more special. I got a vanilla cake that said "will you marry me" on it for my proposal. She said "yes!"and thought your cake was beautiful AND delicious. We were so happy with the way it turned out. We appreciate the care Bunners Bakery and your staff put into the cake. You're the best! Thank you! read more

Really great gluten free and vegan treats! I come here periodically to pick up some dairy free treats as I'm lactose sensitive. This is the perfect place to pick up treats if you're going to a dinner or party and you're unsure if there are gluten sensitive or vegan people attending! I give them 4 stars because I love their treats and I will always come back, but their service needs improvement. When I went last night, I asked if the cakes were gluten free... because I wasn't sure if they were just a vegan bakery. It turns out they are both vegan and gluten free. The cashier told me in a condescending tone, as if I SHOULD have known that before coming. read more

My Google review has magically disappeared, so I'm repeating the story here. I can't review the food, because I NEVER GOT IT. I ordered a cake online a week in advance. I included instructions for them to use the phone number provided to text me about the delivery, as I was at a hotel, and would be in conferences and panels all day when delivery was expected. Here are my instructions to them: "Please deliver by 10 am if possible, I need for an 11 am meeting - if it can't be done then deliver Saturday and I'll ask hotel to refrigerate - please text number to work out details!" I emailed them Monday to try to iron out the delivery details and ask them to deliver Saturday if they couldn't guarantee delivery Sunday by 11 am. No response. On my way into the city on Tuesday, I stopped at their Dundas Street address to discuss delivery, but was told I'd have to go to the main bakery and I did not have time to make a second stop. I emailed again Thursday to iron out delivery details, outlining my concerns: "I just wanted to communicate with you to figure out what I'm going to do with the cake. It seems from your instructions that it should be deliveredSaturday since Sunday delivery by 10 am can't be guaranteed. Do you have any experience with delivering to a guest at the Sheraton? Can it be delivered someplace where I can pick it up and put it in my room fridge? Or do they have the means to refrigerate it? This is to be presented to someone at 11 am on Sunday, so any help/advice you could give me about how to handle it until then would be GREATLY appreciated." No response. I told the front desk at the hotel on Saturday morning that I was expecting a cake, but I had no way of knowing even on which day it would arrive. I ran upstairs to the front desk on every break to check for delivery, which was a great inconvenience. Saturday came and went, no cake. The event came and went, no cake. The guest of honour whose birthday we were celebrating even commented on there being no cake. I walked around with a bag of cake plates and utensils all morning. Around 1.30 on Sunday I received a call notification from the hotel, and ran upstairs to the front desk. There was no one there with a cake, and none had been delivered, the person at the front desk did not know why I was called. The bakery told me they respond to every email within 24-hours, which is false. The bakery told me delivery was attempted on Sunday (apparently after the event), and that the delivery person and bakery had both attempted to call me. Call me. Specific instructions said to TEXT me, as I would be in meetings and could not answer the phone. No one attempted to text me. No one attempted to email me. The bakery said the cake was returned to them. I include this much detail because when I posted my Google review, the bakery twisted everything in their response to make it look like my fault, or that I was lying about emailing them because they would have responded. They did not. They did not follow my instructions at all. They were completely uncooperative. That's who they are. To their credit, they refunded my money immediately after I posted a claim with my credit card issuer for a refund. In the meantime, they ruined my weekend and my event. read more

My favourite gluten free bakery hands down. Such great variety of baked goods, and I've tried almost everything they have to offer. I regularly buy the seeded bread and my fave are the apricot squares, although today I had the new peach brown sugar square and it's delectable! I have yet to try the soft serve coconut ice cream, but I will soon. read more

I stopped by Bunner's for a quick treat and got a pumpkin chocolate chip muffin. The pumpkin flavour was very good but it stuck to wrapper a lot. There was a good variety but cupcakes were a little pricey. We also asked them to cut the muffin in half and she said no because all they had was a plastic fork but we made do anyway. read more

AMAZING!!! This place is vegan and gluten free but taste so good that people without food sensitivities would love it too. As a lover of sweets I can assure you that this place is worth your time. They're friendly and the treats are DELICIOUS. it's so good I wrote them a thank you email after eating a cupcake hours after buying it. Why are you still reading this? Go. Now. read more

Simply yum. the flavours the texture moistness are consistent. which I love, the years I've been supporting everything is always really good. nice people also. read more

Im vegan and i want bunners to be good - i keep giving it a chance and i get a brutal stomache ache for a couple of hours everytime i finish eating any of their pastries. I dont have any allergies and all other vegan baked goods/pastries from anywhere else i eat have never given me stomache problems so i have no idea whats going on. read more

My favourites are the cheesecake (both vanilla and chocolate are great), plus the date squares. I gotta try one of their cookie sandwiches one day. Didn't care much for the raspberry crumble (dry & bland with not much fruit, IMHO). read more

Had a baby size cinnamon bun today... It was very disappointing. The icing was waaaay too sweet and gritty, and the dough was dry and tough--not at all moist and chewy the way that I was hoping it might have been. Unfortunately gluten free pastries already have a bad rep for being dry, but was hoping that a well-known gluten free bakery like Bunner's could show people otherwise. This is my second treat from Bunner's in a week and sadly both times (first time was their red velvet cupcake) the products fell short of expectations. read more

All I can say is HORRIBLE customer service... learn how to greet people and work on your communication skills... pathetic. Would not recommend and would not go back read more

Their desserts are quite tasty. Your role as customer: not only to pay for your products, but you must never, under any circumstances traumatize a server by referring to "them" as "him," or "her." Folks, there is a sign warning customers not to "gender," the servers. Just do not refer to them at all, lest you trigger a nervous breakdown. Sheesh. read more

I am not overly sweet on baked goods, but I am quite impressed by the array of vegan and gluten-free treats at Bunner's. It is truly a bakery for anybody who enjoys homey, baked goods that aren't overly fancy in presentation or finesse, but taste just right. In particular, I like their apple crumble muffin (with a generous crumble top!) and brownie. I have never made a vegan brownie that I enjoyed or that didn't come out like a puck; theirs is just like the "real" thing. I am so glad that I don't crave sweets, but if I did, Bunner's would be a go-to spot for me. read more

Tried their cinnamon square/bun and a chocolate s'mores square with the vegan frosting at this year's Veg Fest on Queens Quay. First time trying, and I am no stranger to vegan baked goods. Had my husband and two other friends with us. We all ordered the same thing, we all ended up NOT finishing them. We threw them out. They were horrible. Very dense and hard, so overly sweet, quite honestly both were gross and very overpriced. I sure as heck won't be going back there and do not recommend this place if you're looking for tasty pastries or cakes. Yuck! read more

Cashiers at Bunners : If you are the one opening the shop, please know how to turn the soft serve machine on. Know where the proper ice cream cups are to serve it in. When someone comes in 30 mins after you have opened and wants soft serve, don't feign ignorance and say "that we just opened". LAME! Don't randomly take a phone call while you walk out the shop door and up the street w/o explaining to the customer you are supposed to be serving what you are doing. Don't work in front facing customer service if you became defensive reading this. You guys are VERY lucky that you products speak for themselves. Your cashiers are useless. read more

I've made numerous visits to Bunner's and although it does have some good offerings, I wouldn't say it's 'A-OK' by any means. Firstly, it is very difficult to produce great baked goods that are both vegan and gluten-free. It defies the laws of food science. That doesn't mean that Bunner's doesn't hit the mark on some things. Their date bars are delicious, but everybody knows that date bars are a no brainer. The cupcakes are tasty with generally a good texture but far too heavy on the agave. A quarter of a cupcake is more than enough for me! They have been known to offer mini cupcakes here but I have found it to be a rarity, as confirmed by one of the staff. And while we are on the topic of staff, I can confirm that on each and every occasion I have been here (5 times total), the staff was rude and cold. For example, we stopped in one Saturday morning to pick up a big order for a party and we were bluntly told they do not provide any kind of carry home bags. A huge inconvenience. Why not offer eco-friendly, vegan totes which customers can purchase? The cinnamon buns are heavy and more akin to bricks. The empanadas are really good, I will say. The pastry is spot on flakey and tasty. Personally, I'll pass on Bunner's. Been there, done that. read more

Really great gluten free/vegan bake shop in Kensington Market! I went with my friend (it was her birthday!) and her 7 year old cousin, and we ordered a double chocolate cupcake and a cinnamon roll. Her cousin LOVED the cupcake, (to be completely fair she loves all cake....) however after trying it myself I can confirm that it was in fact a good cupcake and not just A cupcake. It was really moist which many vegan/GF sweets are not, and not overly sweet surprisingly. The cinnamon roll was great as well, albeit a bit dry, though it probably would have been better warm so I'd recommend heating it up first. We actually came to try their coconut milk soft serve but they were out of the chocolate =/. Overall I think they do a really solid job and I'd be happy to come back on my next trip to Toronto! read more

I am not vegetarian or vegan. In fact, I ate meat last night . I'm almost late for work and must write this review because HoLY smokes I am so impressed!! At first I tried a Super sonic gypsy Cookie from lit espresso with a nice blueberry rooibos tea. What a great combo! The cookie was so good I dreamed about it all day and had to go back to ask them if they made them in house . Nope ! They were Bunner Super Sonic Gypsy cookies !!! So I made a trip to Bunner to buy a box of cookies and decided to try their Mac and cheese which is vegan and gluten free of course . I really did not expect to like it because I am a huge carbie cheese lover. This morning I popped it in my oven and all I can say is holy smokes this Mac and cheese is like crack and cheese . It's so CREAMY and delicious !! I am so impressed with it especially because I always thought gluten free pasta was the weirdest thing... BUT this was cooked to perfection it wasn't mushy like I thought it would be. This gluten free Mac was perfect and aldente. Oh, I'm also one of those weirdos who love ketchup. I added nothing extra this mac and cheese because it was perfect in every way . Thanks Bunner ! read more

I haven't had luck with their cookies yet, but their red velvet cupcake and the Josephine Louise are TO DIE FOR. Josephine Louise taste like Hohos if Hohos didn't taste disgusting, despite looking like a whoopie pie. So outstanding, especially knowing everything is vegan and gf. For my tastes, it's better than the nonvegan, gluteny versions. read more

Just "meh"...I keep going back because i'm vegan and get very excited whenever I can eat anything different. Every time I get something I am either just ok with it or I throw it in the garbage. I am not a picky eater but I have some standards about my baked goods... So far i've tried... Cinnamon roll which was more like a cinnamon pound cake. It was tasty but not a cinnamon bun... The soft serve Ice cream - it was terrible. I'm sorry. It tasted like chemicals. A cupcake - It weighed like 3 pounds and was dry. The butter tart and It was alright. I think of myself of a connoisseur of vegan junk food (I've had tasty treats all over the world...) and Bunner's just keeps letting me down. I like to see vegan businesses succeed but they just need to work on the consistency of their products. read more

I am not vegan and I am an avid gluten consumer who's always had bad experiences with GF or Vegan things. Especially baked goods. But it was my vegan colleague's birthday and we decided to get the cherry cheesecake here at Bunner's. THIS CHERRY CHEESECAKE BLEW OUR MIND AWAY. It tasted like any other cheesecake but SO much better. I'm dying to revisit and try other patries and cakes because although I had a big slice, I did not feel sick or heavy like other cakes. It's really easy on the stomach, and read more

Not technically vegan. Most products contain palm oil which is NOT environmentally friendly or cruelty free at all. Was told they'd email me a list of palm oil free products and they never did. Super disappointed. read more

Pros: - Gluten free baked goods that tastes superb. - Adorable shop and pleasant atomasphere. Cons: - VERY overpriced (bought 3 things that ended up being $18) - lack of variety. They had maybe a selection of 4-5 kinds to choose from? TBH I had a hard time choosing because everything they had were so standard, such as cinnamon roles, bran muffins, chocolate chip cookies. - their customer service is very lacking. They had a lot of staff that were chatting diligently in the back and when we came in and asked some questions one girl came to the counter and rushed us like crazy, answering our questions with basic yes/no and was constantly looking back to the kitchen staff and desperate to go back to their conversation and laughter. read more

I don't think I've ever gone to Kensington Market and not stopped by Bunner's. I always find the people behind the cash super friendly and attentive despite some bad reviews on here. I got my husband a birthday cake (chocolate raspberry) from here last year and it was incredible. The smallest cake could honestly feed 10 people so its totally worth the money. I've also taken a baking class here and it was so much fun and super informative. Even though I'm not gluten free (just vegan), I definitely levelled up as a baker after :P Their cupcakes are life changing and I have recently discovered the yogurt parfaits. Mmm. read more
