Came here after our massage nearby. My husband got himself an espresso (which he said was perfect) and he got me two pastries... since it was Valentine's Day, he got me a chocolate covered strawberry. Mutant strawberry for sure!! It was delicious nonetheless. The pecan tart was also really good, but I took a couple of days to eat it because I wanted to savour it. read more

This bakery is nice. You order at the counter and they'll pack it for you. I came here for the zeppole, and was not disappointed. I got 2 original, 2 ricotta, and 1 pistachio flavoured zeppoles. They were all really tasty and rich. There is a seating area, and there is parking at the front. read more

I really wanted to love this place. I've heard many good things both online and from locals that Maple was the place to go. Stepping into the brightly lit shop, the smell of baked goods are very inviting. We grabs a number of pastries including mini fruit tarts, pistachio cake and cannolis. The cannoli was great! Crispy yet soft shells with a fluffy dense cream. Wonderful! Then one by one, each pastry after the next just seemed bland. It tasted like sugar glaze , but that was it. Nothing to write home about. There is also hot bar, but the dried lasagna didn't seem to pique my interest. Leave the rest, take the cannoli. read more

Very good bakery with lots of selection. I just happened to be in the area and went in for a muffin, just couldn't resist buying 6 of different pastries.

Maple Bakery must have a reason to be in business for that long .. 1983... some yelpers not even born yet!! The deco though is not as dated.. and interior is clean and organized. The bread and sweet selections all looks tempting!! And I just got to pick ONE! Almond and Apple Flan ($2.20) - tons and tons of almond!! Just a touch of apple baked in the filling... - not too sweet but so flaky!!! - excellent as a snack and go with a cup of strong coffee Maple Bakery is small and cozy. A place where people living around the neighbourhood can hang out, pick up decent bread and pastries... I wish my hood has one of this too... Markham Bakery, where can you?!!! read more

Looks like a classic mom & pop shop, with the accompanying attitude and taste - both are like home. The layout is a bit strange, however lots of tasty pastries and other baked goods, and the pricing is surprisingly low, given the rise of hipster places in the area. Will repeat. read more

When to Maple Bakery on keele st and ordered a birthday cake for my son,on the day I was to pick up the cake the manager called me and said the cake I ordered did not come in,so I asked her what she could do for me, she started laughing,accusing me of asking for something for free,told me that she was not going to sell me a cake and never to come back,then the owner,an old disgusting Italian lady came on the phone and called me a bitch and to never come back and they didn't need my business.These people have no morals or ethics,I will be sure to spread my story to everyone and anyone.DO NOT GIVE THESE ANIMALS BUSINESS! read more

Excellent local bakery with fresh breads, pastries, and a hot table. Very good food with the essentials. Fresh coffee, and a few items. Cakes are excellent here but you need to order in advance. Nothing is ready to go. They have a few frozen cakes made from LaRocca if you need something in a pinch. I had amazing coffee and a meatball sandwich at the end of the day. So I can't give it a full 5 till I come back and try to see the full selection. read more

Maple Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

When I recently visited the Greater Toronto Area, the buzz word was "cronut." Launched by Ansel Bakery in New York about 5 months ago, the cronut is a hybrid of buttery layers of a croissant & crisp fried crunchiness of a doughnut. I asked GTA Yelpers Wayne C. & Jennifer K. where to get them, & they directed me to Maple Bakery in the suburb of Maple in Vaughan. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/maple-bakery-maple?select=46IGxAXqcmMxhvAH-G0ZTg Not knowing how popular cronuts were, I was surprised that they were sold out when I got there. Regular flavors were $3.75 each (sugar, cinnamon/sugar, chocolate or vanilla or maple glazed) & custard cream filled at $5 each. I was told to pre-order, even if it was only for 1 cronut, to ensure that I get one. I then placed an order for 2 cronuts, their most popular flavors being cinnamon/sugar & chocolate glazed, for pick-up the next day. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/maple-bakery-maple?select=PjD5pl2i_IoVZy33WbbSmg The cronuts were delicious! The outside was crunchy, & the inside layers were light & airy. The cinnamon/sugar mixture made each bite so flaky delicious, with the cinnamon/sugar crystals falling all over me as I ate; & real dark chocolate was used which made the cronut so creamy and rich chocolaty w/ each bite. Don't know how the taste compared w/ the original cronut, but those from Maple Bakery were very delicious. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/maple-bakery-maple?select=l3gNX4Z2FTcaENirE9ujhA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/maple-bakery-maple?select=NH3EcNAvy1MG8tv2Pj9kFQ But what made the trip to this bakery that was so interesting was not only the cronuts, but that the bakery was more than a bakery. Opened in 1983, Maple Bakery is an authentic Italian bakery owned/ operated by the Russo Family, w/ recipes handed down by many generations. It started off as a small bakery and gradually expanded over the years to include breads, gelato, sandwiches, hot table, deli, and grocer. In addition to cronuts, some of its offerings, which are made daily, include: - Fresh Italian-style breads/buns - Calabrese (relating to Calabria, a region of southern Italy) breads, Panini,& many others http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/maple-bakery-maple?select=-Kd0sECcx8gJjBQQuNJu1A - Custom cakes - birthday, wedding, baptism, baby blocks shower cake, & many others http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/maple-bakery-maple?select=slUZqasUrMCjHjLtfNlEuw - Cookies - shortbread, amaretti, church cross http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/maple-bakery-maple?select=-e_sL53t9iKXJ7GEO_7MgQ - Fresh pastries - cartocci, cannoli, & many more http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/maple-bakery-maple?select=Fo2cBvVrZGzXQSAN_P4qZw http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/maple-bakery-maple?select=CjtrVvSE7Glj4Ld8CSN5Aw - Homemade gelato - lemon, hazelnut, chocolate, & more - Deli - Italian cold cuts (salami, prosciutto, sausages, etc.) & cheeses http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/maple-bakery-maple?select=1el8HcJJ9cHdm-VnGUb1GQ - Hot table - gourmet pizzas, veal sandwiches, steak on a bun, lasagna, chicken/eggplant parmigiana, & more - Grocery items - breadcrumbs, oil, antipasto, soft drinks, coffee There is a dining area where you can have any of the above as a snack or meal w/ coffee. During the 2 times that I was there, it was a homey feeling, as community residents knew each other by name, eating what they ordered, & chatting about the local happenings; there was no rush to be anywhere but here. A real business that you felt like it was your family. In fact, all of Maple Bakery's employees are either family or long-time employees who know the community well. As the city of Vaughan has a large Italian community, this Italian bakery fills the needs of that community. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/maple-bakery-maple?select=X1hEaqqJaTRolJETbeiljg I enjoyed the pretty decorated pastries, which I could tell contained real butter & real chocolate. I loved the cartocci (cylindrical doughnut filled w/cannoli cream & chocolate chips) & the cannoli (Sicilian tube-shaped pastry shell filled w/sweet, creamy ricotta cheese filling). No skimping of real ingredients here. Truly Italian! In trying to decide which pastries to get, I noticed that names of the items were not posted & because I was not familiar w/ Italian desserts, I could only point to what I had wanted; however, as the customers are predominantly Italian & from the local community, they know what they want, & there is no need to post any names to identify the items. (I guess I need to get up to speed.) The bakery is located inconspicuously in a small plaza just north of Major Mac on the west side of Keele Street, w/parking available in the private lot. Maple Bakery not only has Italian baked items, but also has hot food, deli items, gelato, and grocery items. It's also a casual restaurant. And it sells cronuts. Love to go back to try the rest of the items! read more

Maybe I should have been born an old Italian man? Maple Bakery is open - after a period of closure, i think - and removed its tables and chairs to restyle for COVID-19. At least, I assume the change is recent. I noticed that their buns are alright, but their pastry is subpar the two times I went in there and made a purchase. New year and back again evening time and I would like to buy rolls and buns. I enter, stand in front of the counter and wait for one of the three employees to notice and help me. Out comes an old woman from the back behind me shouting (yes loudly and confrontationally not informationally) we are closing in one minute. We are closing in one minute. We are closing in one minute. Er... well, I know that Maple Bakery is similar to Disneyland, ROM and Eiffel Tower and hordes of tourists regularly come in, stand to enjoy the sights, take photographs, stand for selfies, spread their linen to picnic and loiter, but... erm actually no, no one wants to be in there any longer than they need to. The only reason I am standing there is because no one has looked at me or tried to help me. I assume given her age she is the owner (and wants to get off her feet and be at home watching re-runs of Roseanne or something as crude), but either way someone should whisper in her ears 'honey, no one is in your shop waiting around for fun. Should you sell them something they will be on their way and.. get out of your hair.' Darn annoying customers standing around waiting to be helped. Them customer so annoying. The bad news is this place does not have customer service or manners. The good news is St. Phillips Bakery and Grande Cheese are walking distance and they both have a good assortment of bread and buns. Bye bye. read more

Do not order pizza here!!! Pizza was undercooked even when requested well done. The pizza never rised and the middle was drippy and stuck to the box. Management is uncooperative and will not compensate in any way. There all kids that work there and don't know what there doing. read more

Went to MBakery to try out their Cartocci pastries, they are similar to Canoli, but made with a rounder, softer, doughnut type shell and same ricotta filling. I love them and they are hard to find, so when I saw the pic on yelp, I immediately wanted to get them. First impression of MB walking in was that the place is mainly focused on their hot table (which I did not try). Customer seating and tables dominated the center of the bakery and I had to either walk though the people seated or all the way around the center tables to get to the cookie/pastry fridges on the opposing side. I found the staff polite and helpful during my purchase. Bought my Cartocci, a couple of Canoli and a Strudel for good measure. All was made and tasted fresh, The flavors resemble what I would call a home style (less sweet) ricotta filling and strudel had some type of cookie sponge in it, The flavors reminded me of something I'd find at my Italian Aunt's house which was home made rather than the sweetness found in more refined creams you find at a "high end" professional bakery. I did not like the sugar rolled on the outer shell of the Cartocci, it was a bit too much at times and seemed like a cheap way to finish such a nice pastry, I prefer icing sugar, it's not as hard to chew on and easier to manage in larger quantities. Pastry pricing was $2.75 each for a large pastry which is on the higher end but competitive in the area. Overall, its a matter of taste. I would definitely say they have good pastries and are fresh which is paramount, As far as specific flavors, if you like less sweetness or less refined more home style pastries, you will enjoy their pastries. I would like to go back and try the hot table as this seems to be a big part of their business. read more

this review is for the small cakes alone. bought 6 cakes it was the deal. The tiramisu was delicious. The carror cake..not so good. it had like a reallt sugary water base that is not normal in a carrot cake. the red velvat has too much icing.. it was just more sugar and icing than bread.. i would go back for the tiramisu.But the carrot and red velvet never again. read more

I have been hearing about how amazing cronuts are! So I decided to try cronuts at this bakery. It was my first and definitely not the last. I tried their chocolate dipped, cinnamon, and sugar! My favorite was chocolate dipped. I loved how it was nice and soft and flaky-buttery in the inside :)! The only complaint I have is that the bakery only serve on Friday - Sundays. However, good news is you can pre-order them during the weekday :). read more

This is a Hidden... Italian Cafe, Grocer, Deli, Gelato, Hot Table and Bakery. I wouldn't go to say it's a Gem but more like a Marble. A Marble with it's own characteristics that makes it more of a place for long-time existing returning customers rather than for the new faces. New faces go to the newer places with a hip vibe such as St. Phillips or Nino D'aversa while the Maple Bakery regulars like the basic shop format with half the space for baisc dine-in table/chairs. The rest of the shop is of the minimalist as the Breads/Pastries is the more noticeable element here. Nothing will surprise/wow but all the basic staples are here. Where was I in 1983 when this shop opened for business and nearby Wonderland Theme park was just in its infancy? True, the shop is historic but that's quite the opposite from the 3 cute Italian ladies taking care of the whole shop. First Bakery in Maple is a pretty impressive fact(+0.5 Star). A lady prepares my Steak Sandwich($5.95) while another takes care of the Cafe and the last as Cashier, but that doesn't mean they aren't interchangeable as they worked like a well oiled Vespa. Mangia! FREE Mushrooms & Onions for Toppings at that price is hard to beat. Load-me-up. :P Oh Btw, I've said hidden simply because if you don't drive by them it is quite hidden even from the busy street of Major Mackenzie. You're more likely to have the Coffee Culture across the street from Keele street catch your vision. read more

The donuts available on tuesdays and thursdays are phenomenal and well priced, i just wished the glazes were a little thinner but the dough is grade A, fluffy and large.

Seeking an alternative to our usual Sunday morning breakfast place, we checked out this little bakery today. We had: Lattes - ordered large but got small, served spilled all over the cup and saucer Dry bran muffin Lobster claw was crunchy and tasty. Nicely sized. Rum ball rolled in sliced almonds was moist and yummy and a nice size. The seating area was not cozy as another review has mentioned. We both got an unwelcoming vibe from the clientele. When we were finished we went across the street to Coffee Culture to get coffee to go - which says it all. read more

Great bakery, the space is bigger than what I expected. There's a good hot food/ deli department, a bakery section, and ample seating for those who wants to eat there. I only got baked goods. Prices were mostly $2.45 - $2.75, the cannolis I believe are $2.10, they had these really big bakery goods for $8.50ish. So overall, I think they are priced well! Now for taste, I was a bit disappointed that the baked goods tasted a bit stale.... but nothing a quick heating up can't fix. Taste GREAT either way! read more
