The jar cakes are so awesomely adorable. They make for amazing gifts! Their cookies are MASSIVE. I'm so regretful that I didn't splurge and get treats for myself as well. Their prices are very good, and the gift boxes are very sleek and presentable. But I think it needs to be said that their level of service is the thing that really sets them apart. The team at Sullivan & Bleeker is just so accommodating and pleasant to deal with. They took the time to call and confirm the changes I requested to be made to my order, which I highly appreciate. Just note that if you go to pick your order up, their location is a tad bit out of the way but they also offer delivery. Overall, I had such a great experience with them and will most certainly be a repeat customer.

This place has the most cute and delicious cake jars ever!! I ordered the duo of jar cakes via Uber…read moreeats - cookie dough for my friend and salted caramel for myself. I absolutely loved the salted caramel flavour as it tasted great with the cake at the bottom of the jar. A single jar was more than enough for a single person and I feel it can also be shared by two people. My friend liked the cookie dough flavour but she loved the cake at the bottom so much that she preferred eating it without the frosting! I would definitely love to gift someone a cake jar from this place because they were so pretty and reasonably priced. However, I wish I could give this experience a 4.5/5 rating only because my friend and I felt that the frosting was too sweet but I think it depends on your taste.

When I walked by this bakery and saw the sign outside saying: Toronto's Best Cinnamon Buns I had to…read moretry one! First I marvelled at the baked goodies in the store window and how I loved the vintage, timeless feeling. Inside it was like stepping into a time machine back in time with the old-fashion vibes, decor and baked goods. We were greeted warmly by Helen and I got my cinnamon roll and butter tart. She said they've been around for 50 years! The roll and tart were very delicious! Pure love and comfort food! And I really loved Helen's kindness and happy energy. Highly recommend you check them out!

This bakery finds itself the heart and soul of the community. The people who work here are…read morewonderful, and the tasty treats inside are great. The thing that will probably draw you in is their cinnamon bun. They're very proud of it. And here's the thing - they have every right to be. It's a delicious cinnamon bun. It's not deep, but it's wide, which increases the amount of delicious inner coil, while reducing the amount of outer crust. They have a number of dairy-free pies, and will make other dairy-free options upon request. Now, a bakery having great treats is one thing, but that's an expected thing. Being committed to the community is something completely different. When I walked in, my family waiting outside, I didn't realize they were cash only. But did that keep me from the much needed cinnamon bun? No. It did not. Without payment, I left with warm cinnamon bun in hand. How did such a thing transpire? Did I distract them, and run away with glee? Indeed I did not. I was told to just come on by tomorrow and pay for it then. And, as it's always a nice walk through the Junction, I had no problem with that, whatsoever. That's the type of place you see in television shows depicting an era that never truly was. And yet, here it is. Right here. Right now. In Toronto.

This quaint, unassuming spot in Bloor West Village is exactly where you should go to satisfy your sweet tooth. Its selection isn't huge but you can preorder. It was a one-staff operation who was attentive and kept the constant stream of people moving. We bought a variety of baked goods and a small bowl of Kawartha Dairy ice cream. The ice cream was good but nothing in comparison to the baked goods. I'm not usually a macaron fan but their bubble gum one was so flavourful, I'm glad my son didn't eat all of it. We also tried the cotton Candy one which merely tasted like sugar. I got one of their squares which was sweet and tart at the same time. Prices are fairly reasonable and they continue to introduce new products. Support local and check this place out!!!

There was also something different here. 3 different sizes of Zeppoli.

So I FINALLY was able visit just the other day & specifically came for their Passion (today's was strawberry) Flakies, as they are only sold on weekend. I have been obsessing to try these for over a year now. In high school, I was addicted to the Vachon version, so happy they have made their own (sans chemicals) & am happy to report they deliver on light creamy jam deliciousness! Thank goodness I pre-order/paid as they were sold out the time we arrived. As I visited with my sister, we also tried the vanilla s'mores (which they lightly torched... extra Yum toasted flavour), small peanut cookie sandwich.

I don't know what I missed out on compared to other reviews here, but no way is this a 5 star…read morespecialty bakery. I thought I'd be satisfied based on the other reviews here, but buying a cake from this pseudo high end bakery was the biggest disappointment and biggest waste of $200.00 ever. After reading the rave reviews, I checked out their website and was indeed impressed with the multitude of product photos. One of them was so in line with what I was after, I called and placed an order for an exact replica of this previous creation, the only difference being the number (50 instead of 16). I requested red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. No new creative brainstorming required. They had a full week's notice for this one carbon copy cake so compared to the review that said they had no problem doing a full sweet table for a party on 3 days' notice, Idk what jacked up the price on this 6" cake to $200.00. I figured this is going to be one perfect cake. I called an hour before pickup to confirm for myself that it was ready and in I came to get it. It was waiting in the back so I waited on it to be brought out and when it did, it looked ok, if a little small. They brought it to the store front to take their stock photo and then had to figure out how to package it. I was pretty surprised when they brought out a regular little box to try to contain this cake for me to bring home, and watched in disbelief as they started figuring out how to finish the job with saran wrap and scotch tape. Yes, really, a tiny little regular cake box not even half the height of the cake, and the girl is pushing down the insert decorations all the way into the cake and applying saran wrap in pieces over it with scotch tape. I am very lucky I was a passenger with someone else driving, because I would have been terrified to have it sitting by itself in a moving car. When I did get it home, the packaging nightmare continued as I spent more than 5 minutes trying to remove the saran wrap taped all over the outside of the box while it stuck to the fondant decorations inside. When I finally got it out of the box, I could see the imperfections on the finish - finger smudge prints on the icing and loose ribbon on the bottom edge. And in the end, it didn't taste any better than a cake made from scratch by any other custom baker, or at home. It was competent, nothing more. Absolute waste of $200.00. Never again.
