It's a cute little bakery in the blood west area by High Park. Very nice woman working there. I came in after seeing the sign for banana pudding which was sold out but it was an excuse to try something else. Ordered a croissant bread pudding and enjoyed the fresh taste of this twist. The way things are presented in the window I must say is quite mouth watering. Hard to walk by and not want something. I had ordered a London fog latte which was not bad at all but paled in-comparison to the pastry. Would definitely want to try other things they offer! read more

Very small shopfront but it was hustling and bustling! We were waiting for a lunch table elsewhere and stumbled upon this place while walking around the area. All the pastries and baked goods are near the front window and the display looks so appetising. We ended up getting a pecan butter tart and a cinnamon hazelnut coffee cake. The coffee cake was crumbly and not too sweet but still had good flavours. I would not mind coming back to try other items. read more

I was in the neighbourhood when I came across this adorable cafe. They have their treats displayed in the glass display at the front and their menu is posted outside as well. The shop is very small and can maybe fit 2 customers at a time. There is also no indoor seating. The staff are very friendly and upbeat. I got their iced Americano and chocolate croissant. The iced americano is average but still very good. The chocolate croissant was fresh and very crispy. Parking can be annoying here are it's street parking only. However, it's only a short walk away from Dufferin Station so it's very accessibe by TTC/ read more

Purchased a custom red velvet cake for my friend's housewarming party. They have different sized cake options so I got the 6" for $26. They let you add writing for free on a plaque which is nice compared to other bakeries that charge you for that. My friends loved the cake and they said it was delicious! I would return to try a slice of their carrot cake (which I read is moist and amazing) if I'm back in the area. read more

This bakery also has ice cream; I only tried that. They get 3.5. London fog was decent. Fresh mint was better & actually like After Eight chocolates, with dark chocolate pieces scattered in the mint ice cream. Vanilla soft serve was decent with a nice fragrance. The kiddie portion gets you 2 golf ball-sized scoops. It's cheap & you get 2 flavours! Regular gets you larger scoops. read more

Home - Carrot cake. Don't wait for the pic. - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Love this place! One of the best new addition in the Bloordale neighborhood in the recent years. The staff is always friendly and I've never had to wait too long for service. The baked goods are amazing (especially the cherry tarts) and the ice cream is one of my fav in the city. The space is a bit small, so I usually grab something to go when I come here - they have a few seats customers can sit, but it can get full pretty quickly and/or feel cramped a bit, so it's not the best café if you're looking for a space to have a meeting with someone or do school work or work on some stuff. As a few other reviews mentioned, the prices a bit more expensive than other cafés in the area - but then again, the baked goods and ice cream are AMAZING and since everything is made from scratch in-house and Home Baking isn't a chain, you have to expect to pay more money than you would in a chain like Starbucks or an in independent café that gets their baked good delivered from a factory. I personally don't mind the more expensive price tag, since I treat sweets as a special treat I get once in a while and not something I get regularly. read more

Came here after seeing all the wonderful reviews for my birthday. I was very excited to see that they have butter tarts. Ever since a colleague told me about butter tarts, I'm on the quest to find the best ones made in bakeries across Toronto and home baking co doesn't disappoint. The lady who took our order, not sure if she's the owner, was extremely knowledgeable and wonderful. We asked if we should get the cupcake or the moist cake because both looked delicious. She honestly replied saying that the cupcake is made from the same batter. It might be easier to eat on the go while the cake is more moist. So, we went with the cupcake as we wanted to eat while walking. It was extremely delicious and there's a real homemade goodness to their sweet treats which we loved. Oh, another thing about their butter tarts is that they're not overly sweet like the ones you get in a grocery store. So, you can taste the butter, maple syrup and all the goodness without the cloying sweetness. We will be back to treat ourselves for more of their goodies. read more

I like the homeyness of this place, and their baked good are top notch. t Today being a hot day I stopped by to support them and buy an ice-cream. They're strictly tap payment, no cash, right now. I'm assuming it's due to Covid-19. I asked for a receipt and they said I was on the system and it was emailed to me. When I got home I looked at the receipt and they tagged on their own tip without either asking me, or informing me that (for whatever reason) this is mandatory. Not cool in my books. It's not the amount but the principle. A tip is, and always should be voluntary not mandated by a business. If you are trying to garner more money for your business then raise the prices. If you're trying to give your employees more money then raise the prices and add a raise to the salary of your employees. Adding on a tip as a sneak attack is underhanded, cheap and unethical... like the negative billing Rogers use to do until the government made a law against it. As good as you products are and as nice of a place you have because of this you've lost a customer. I hope you change your tactics and stop sneak ambushing the people who are trying to support you. read more

I love hot summer days in Toronto when I can cool down with ice cream! Home bakery has delicious all-natural ingredient baked goods and ice cream sandwiches made with their own cookies. The burnt marshmallow ice cream is super popular! There are different types of fresh-baked cookies, including vegan and gluten-free options. I enjoyed my ice cream sammy, it was creamy, sweet, crunchy awesome. I couldn't help myself and bought a lemon tart as well! Definitely, stop by this cute bakery if you are in the neighborhood. Leave room for dessert - or a few! :) read more

Home - Ice cream sammy! - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I wish Home was my home - really. The first time I had an ice cream and cookie sandwich was back when Bakerbots just opened. I was hooked. So when Home opened, one of the few late night bakeries in the area, I was excited! One of the masterminds behind Bakerbots is the same owner of Home so I knew I would have no concerns of their baked goods. And the fact that it's open late means I can work and enjoy ice cream into the late evening which I am most focused. At $4 a half sandwich, it's one of the cheapest in the city and tastes just as good if not better. My favourite ice cream sammie combination is the mint chocolate and dark chocolate cookie. They just compliment each other so well. I have yet to try anything else, but I'm sure I will eventually. Home is a very kid friendly place. It's typically quiet and there are never really lines. During the summers, there are a couple of chairs for outdoor seating. read more

If I'm being completely honest, i was on my way to Brock Sandwich to get the pulled pork sandwich but I saw a HUGE rat corpse at Bloor and Emerson. Apparently the rat was going north on Emerson and the car made a bad turn. The lower body was still fully in tact and I decided that I didn't crave pulled pork anymore.-- I was instantly delivert after viewing that pulled rat mess..ew So I went to Home and I got a ginger cookie, carrot cake and a coffee--basically as much food as possible and pretended it was for me and my friend (I got two forks even). Thanks to divine timing, a fresh carrot cake had just come out...praise be. I absolutely cannot wait to see some gingerbread treats and eggnog related items. I'm gaining weight cuz of them ginger cookies but I wont fat shame myself by feeling bad and I'm not gonna stop eating either. 5 stars. read more

Honestly a hole in the wall spot! Was walking down bloor looking for a coffee shop to chat with a friend and stumbled upon this hidden gem. It's small but really cute and cozy inside. I love that it's open late, I went there around 830pm. I had to try the ice cream cookie sandwich when I saw it and I was not disappointed. I got the peanut butter and chocolate flavour ice cream which was sandwiched in between 2 cookies. You got to choose the cookie flavour, size, and ice cream flavour. I got the half cookie size and it definitely was filling. Decently priced for what it is too! Definitely excited to come back and try all the other yummy ice cream flavours. read more

Seriously a hidden gem. I can't believe I've lived across this beauty for the past year, and only discovering it now. After trying out all the 'top' ice cream sammies joints last summer, I was convinced nothing could beat Baker's Bot. Alas, there's Home! Ironically, co-owned by the peeps of Baker's Bot. Not to mention, righttttt across the street. #Winning! The given name 'Home' suits the establishment very well. It's a warm, cozy, 'home-y' joint. (how clever, I know) The smell of their cakes and goodies baked from scratch, fills the entire room. You can't help but want to buy a bit of everything. Along with their unique teas, and espressos. For the home made icecreams, flavours consisted of: lemon meringue, sweet cream, peanut butter & jelly, cinnamon, French mint, dark chocolate, vanilla bean, strawberry, burnt marshmallow, and diary-free raspberry. The ice cream sandwiches are priced at $4/half, $7/full. Make note, their cakes are also available to order! Subject to 3 days advance notice. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the Bloordale area. read more

A really cute dessert Cafe on bloor and Landsdown! The space is really pretty and cozy! We went in and ordered an ice cream sandwich! U can customize ur sandwich with the type of ice cream and cookies that u want! They have 5 different cookies and a good number of Ice cream flavours! We ordered the cookies and cream ice cream sandwich with a chocolate cookie on one side and a macadamia on the other! I personally would preferred the chocolate! The cookies were freshly baked In house which i liked! Nothing special with the service! read more

Everything they make is amazing!!! Carrot cake, chocolate cake, banana pudding, cookies- etc, etc. delicious!!!

This is the only place I will go to get coffee or desserts during this time. Tap only for cards, the guy who serves you wheres a shield! ;0 ...You can't enter the restaurant. One person at a time. Everywhere else has been bad.. no masks, handling cash then touching your coffee so forth. Very happy. I don't understand why the US has PPE as a must an we are just not caring.. Especially in the food industry? Thank you! for doing it right! read more

Was walking along Bloor between Dufferin and Lansdowne a week ago. Decided to drop in as this place looked so cute from the outside. They make their baked goods from scratch. I had the butter tart and an iced vanilla latte. I opted for the butter tart with no raisins. I wouldn't say it was good. It was ok. I was craving something sweet and it hit the spot. The filling was a bit runny. The iced vanilla latte was ok as well. I may drop in if I am in the area. Apparently they are open till 8 pm everyday. They also make ice cream and gelato. read more

A little birdie told me, the cookies are to salivate for. At $1.50 each, you get fresh made cookies the size of a women's size S palm. Which is still pretty decent size. I tried 2 different cookies: Ginger snap and oatmeal raisin. After I took a bite of the ginger, I quickly walked back in to get a few more. Don't disappoint yourself by missing out. Buy those Ginger cookies. read more

This place is amazing. I had a half ice cream sandwhich with a soft ginger cookie and their burnt marshmallow ice cream and a americano. It was on point!

Absolutely loved this coffee shop!!! Despite closing in 25 minutes barista let my 5 friends and I stay for an extra 25 minutes as he was cleaning up. Baked goods are to die for - we had the chocolate chip cookie and chocolate cupcake with cream cheese icing - delicious!! So fresh and honestly amazing. Highly recommend this place :) read more

Very cold/bad customer service. You'd ask a question about an item on the menu and he'd reply with a semi brag and then tell you that it's sold out. No list for available coffee. and when you ask about the options he'd reply with "choose whatever". Seems very disinterested in customers, and when we tipped him almost 25% (yeah, i know) he didn't even utter a simple thank you. Just a poker face a la "why are you still here". It seems like the positive reviews are from family and friends, cuz this was not a nice place. The coffee we did get was good though. If kind service isn't that much of an important factor to you, hit it up. Otherwise, there are plenty of decent and better places to go to. read more

New business in the bloordale area. I think the owner used to be at Bakerbots. Really great decor, friendly staff, and their baked goods is delicious. Had their pecan tart and london fog ice cream sandwich with ginger cookie - both amazing. First time i went, had their carrot cake and while good, was just a tad sweet for me. Will be a regular visitor for sure read more

Well it's about time I write a review for home. I've been here at least a dozen times since I discovered them back in March (thanks to a quick yelp search for carrot cake!). This place is super cute and cozy and is aptly named since it kinda feels like home. All baked goods are laid out on the counter (which I suppose some people don't like as they appreciate the items being kept behind a glass case) but I don't mind it at all. It makes it feel more like, well, home and it's very enticing to have it all right in front of you. There are about 4 or 5 small tables and it's the perfect place for people watching, both inside and outside the shop. Now onto the most important part - the food. Everything I've tasted here is amazing! I've had the cookies (my favourite is the spicy ginger), many-a-slice of carrot cake (although i have to agree with my fellow yelper - i'd love more icing!), cinnamon buns, and several flavours of ice cream (lemon meringue, hello!). No matter what you choose, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I believe they also have a couple gluten-free and vegan treats, which isn't quite my jam, but it might be yours. Service is always friendly. Cash or credit only. Love it! There's no place like home. read more

A hidden gem. Great atmosphere, and for a big slice of carrot cake that was made the night previous, still delicious and moist. Must try. read more

Nice cozy place to get some coffee. The staff are always nice and friendly. They have tons of baked goods like cookies, cake, pie -- all temptingly on display like a spread. They appear to have ice cream as well, so this place will likely be a go-to destination once summer comes back. Americano is always delicious. I've not tried any of the other options, but I'm usually just a straight-up coffee guy and they make it well. Oatmeal, peanut butter, and chocolate chip cookies are always on point as well. Welcoming atmosphere, chill vibes, and great coffee! read more

They also take credit cards as well as cash. I've been to this place almost weekly since finding it. On the last visit I tried the lemon meringue pie ice cream and holy smokes. Great way to cool off on a warm day. **one of the always friendly staff told me they have purchased their own ice cream maker and will soon be serving Home-made cold goodness** read more

This is the new place opened by Chris Stopa, the co-owner of Bakerbots (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/bakerbots-baking-toronto). Ice cream sandwiches are same deal as bakerbots (although I think a bit less expensive), but with different types of cookies and ice cream flavours. Chris is a super awesome guy - always great to chat with. For a great review and more info see http://www.blogto.com/bakery/home-toronto. PS: try the buttertarts, they are amazing. read more

Really bad customer service. They make you feel stupid and unwelcome. Cakes are good but not as good as so many other bakeries in Toronto and you get friendlier service. They are also pricey. It's alright, but spend your money elsewhere. read more

If you're looking for some bomb coffee and delicious pastries, this is the place to come. My friends and I frequent this cafe weekly just before our Makeden sewing class next door. And it's become a favorite part of our routine. Their coffees are strong and pastries are decadent. We try something new and every time we visit. Their service does tend to be slow as there's always only one person working the till and making the coffees. Plus, no debit-just cash and credit which can be super annoying. read more

They use spaghetti as coffee stirrers which is insane - just buy spoons. Using food is incredibly wasteful and honestly bizarre. Also they don't have milk or cream out for tea/coffee so you have to ask for it every time which for a cafe seems ridiculous. The other day they had just straight up run out of milk - like you're on Bloor st close the shop for 5 minutes and go buy some milk you make COFFEE!!!! Some of the absolute worst customer service I've ever experienced- owner doesn't seem to care at all about the experience for the patron. Unfortunately the cinnamon buns are very good. The butter tarts are funny though and too sweet. read more

Great, laid-back vibe. Friendly staff, plus earl grey soft serve!!!

Home definitely has good shit. I would have given them a 4 star rating if my guard didn't have to go up every time I've been served. I feel a bit like a nuisance. That's the vibe I've gotten from more than one of the girls, unfortunately. I struggle with the decision to go back because of this. read more

Passed by a few times not knowing this bakery exists, there was no storefront signage but only a minimalistic house-shaped white cutout on the window display. They sell a few cookies and pastries inside. Cookie ice cream sandwich is delicious here! I had a mint chocolate ice cream in a chocolate chip cookie. Get a full one to split with someone, it's a better deal and half an ice cream sandwich would fill you up. The serving size is good here. read more
