When we tried to exchange the cake, it was even worse they had more old cakes on display in this location. You also have to call them to the other location yourself and even drive from one store to another just to get a fresh replacement. It's really sad because my family and I used to buy from them a lot, but after this bad experience, we no longer trust or recommend this place.

Upon…read morereturning it, minutes later, the man who sold it to me glared at me as if I was the guilty party. This is not the first time I had returned food that was spoiled (cream cheese on a bagel and other items). I felt Mabel's deserved another chance as a community business. I did get my money back and ordered a coffee. After drinking it, I felt quite nauseous and then worse. I reached out to the owner who did NOTHING about it. No apology, no offer for a free coffee or even regret for the rudeness. Just a refusal to take responsibility: "all our food is fresh, this never happened type of 'fake news', double talk. I will no longer attend this establishment as the food is too frequently sold after its sell by date. A question to the owner: "how long do you think you can take advantage of customers until none of us are interested in supporting you and why do you feel entitled to hard earned money in exchange for spoiled, old food"?

I had some tough, bitter pie in about 2020 that Mabel's assured me was made correctly and I've…read moreavoided them for years as a result. I ended up giving them another try recently. The bakery is still shockingly awful, if the tooth shattering, impressively tasteless "sugar cookie" I got is any indication. Not only was it the worst cookie I've ever paid for, but holy craps, it was seven bucks! Seven dollars for a cookie that tastes like it was purchased from the dollar store in 2023. I could hammer a nail with it. I would bet serious dough that Metro cookies would beat Mabel's in a blind taste test. The service, focaccia, and salad were good, so that's how Mabel's earns two stars from me. It's just so strange that this place is both the worst and most expensive bakery in Toronto. It's like a quantum singularity that somehow remains popular despite being surrounded on all sides by better bakeries, cafes, and eateries.

This bakery is near my dentist (yes, I live in Ottawa and still go back to Toronto to see my…read moredentist twice a year, lol). I saw it on the way to my dentist, and was a bit early for my appointment so I had to go in to check it out. It's a small but cozy little bakery with some bar seating. The friendly lady greeted me in Spanish ("Hola!"). I had some questions about some of the items and she had to go get the man in the back as she didn't speak English. The man was also friendly and answered all my questions. I ended up getting 2 beef and potato empanadas ($1.40 each), one for me and one for my mom. Since they were Colombian empanadas, they were deep fried, and not baked like the Argentinian empanadas that I'm more familiar with. The filling was mostly potatoes with a little bit of shredded beef. It was well seasoned and the crust was very crispy. Both my mom and I enjoyed them very much. They were pretty small, but the perfect size for a little snack, since we had just had lunch. They had so much stuff I wanted to try. The flan looked delicious. They had chicken empanadas, and also these huge donuts. I know where I will be stopping before or after every dentist appointment from now on ;) The bakery is in a strip mall. Lots of free parking.

They seem extremely selective in how they treat customers, and I can't ignore the pattern anymore. I've observed this more than once: when a customer with a lighter complexion comes in, the attendant will simply hand them their baked goods. But if you're coloured , the attendant makes a point to personally bring it to the front instead. It might seem subtle, but it speaks volumes about their customer service--and not in a good way. The food and products are great, but the way they treat people leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

One day you get treated like royalty, the next like the piece of gum off the bottom of someone's shoe. Almost like they couldn't be bothered that you are there.

Very solid 4* rating!…read more Not sure why it took me a decade to check this place out, after a recommendation from an older European lady had recommended this place to me. It's definitely a "hidden" gem, tucked around the corner from Kipling Stn, in a really industrial area. Think a bunch of auto body and other older looking, unkempt buildings with cars parked out in front. There's parking in front of the bakery café and you hafta climb up a flight of stairs to go in. Not really accessible for older or customers with disabilities. When I arrived, the chairs were already on top of the tables. And after checking the hours of operation, they're only opened 'til 5pm, including Saturdays. They sell whole and cakes, pastries, but the slice/piece. Prices aren't posted, but it was just under $10 for 2 pieces that I got. When I arrived, near closing, they had B1G1 free on their tiramisu, so I saw that as a sign. They were delicious and still tasted free, not too sweet! (I took a pic of their price list and it seems very reasonable!) Judging on what they offer and what I've read, they have Austrian/German roots. Lady who helped me could've been friendlier/enthusiastic, but again, it was the end of the day. So I'm not going to hold that against her. I'd definitely check it out again...but it would hafta be during the day/Saturday!

What a lovely little cafe, unexpectedly in the middle of an industrial part of Toronto!…read more I dropped in for an espresso and a treat while I was getting my car serviced. It was 3:30 pm, so the cafe was empty. The selection is beautiful and they make everything fresh. I chatted with one of the owners (maybe?) and she talked about some of their specialties and special orders. She served me at a table even though I was only getting a small snack. I'll definitely come by again, and next year I'm ordering one of those German fruit cakes. :)

I tried their cappuccino and walnut roll cake and it was $7.03 total including 15% tip! Owner recommended this with my coffee selection for a less sweet and more compact pairing.
