I'm continuing on my journey to find the perfect cafe in Vaughan. One where there's a good vibe and…read morewould allow me to sit down to do a bit of work. I stumbled upon Cafe Louis BakeHouse, a spacious, modern looking cafe. I liked how the display looks where you can see all their baked goods on display and on the racks. However due to the large space I feel like some of the furniture maybe a bit spaced out too much to give it a slightly hollow feeling. I did go on a super cold day so the establishment was a tad bit chilly as well. I ordered a cappuccino and a white chocolate pistachio croissant. Cappuccino was pretty good however the croissant was at best average. The croissant was mostly bready in texture as opposed to flaky. It was also too sweet for my liking. The white chocolate may have something to do with that. The croissant was also glazed in a way that made it too sticky. The taste of pistachio was quite faint. It was really not what I had in mind. I was surprised by the steady flow of customers since the cafe is hidden in an industrial and one story office area. Customer service was adequate and they did a nice job of coming around with samples of different products they have to offer. I got to try their almond cookie and I actually prefer that over the croissant. A score of 3.4 is where I peg them at. Since I never got a chance to try their bread products, I may return just for that.

I am so late in finding (and visiting) this place even after living in Scarborough for 5+ years but…read morethis place has become one of my favourite Italian bakeries in the city for sure. They have so much variety from hot food to bread, sourdough, petit fours, gelato, a whole lot of cafe items and pastries that I was blown away! Their cafe crema is hands down the best in the city. Undoubtably. I also got their chicken sandwich and loved it. Their cannolis are also obviously made perfectly and the pastries are so different from any other bakeries. You must try the Sicilia pastry made with orange and pistachio. Uniquely combo but goes so well. I am definitely going to become a regular here.

Parking is a bit tight and chaotic, but I did notice a sign mentioning additional rear parking on weekends, which is helpful. Before even stepping inside, the patio caught my eye. Definitely a great spot for when the weather warms up. Inside, the space is thoughtfully laid out with a variety of seating options and shelves of packaged goods like coffee and cookies. As you move through the winding line, you pass by their fridge and freezer items (think ready-to-go meals like shepherd's pie and grab-and-go options like chia pudding), followed by freshly baked breads. Honestly, the hot honey pizza focaccia looked incredible! Last was the drink menu and their pastry display. It's the kind of setup where you can't help but look at everything. I went in knowing I wanted the iced banana matcha, and also picked up an almond croissant and a carrot walnut loaf. Service was friendly and welcoming. The iced banana matcha met my expectations based on what I'd heard. It's not the strongest matcha if you're a purist, but it leans more toward a dessert-style drink with really enjoyable flavors. It's definitely on the sweeter side, but even as someone who prefers "not too sweet," I still loved it. The almond croissant was beautifully flaky with a rich, flavorful filling, and I appreciated the generous amount of sliced almonds on top for added texture. The carrot walnut loaf was another standout. It was super moist and well-balanced, not overly sweet even with the icing. Overall, everything felt thoughtfully made and high quality. I just wish it were closer so I could visit more often. They have such an extensive menu, and I'd love to try more next time.

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!

I'll definitely come by again, and next year I'm ordering one of those German fruit cakes. :)

Dimpflmeir Bakery is a marvellous sight to behold! It's a little piece of Europe in Toronto. The tantalizing smell of freshly baked bread permeates the entire bakery. It feels like being in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory of breads. Everyone should visit this place at least once in their lifetime.
