We had some delicious parties from this Greek bakery at a party. The chocolate topped donuts had a cream filling in the middle. The bottom was soaked in some sort of honey or syrup. Makes for a delicious, sweet, chocolatey and moist donut. Perfect size as they're mini sized but great sweetness. We also tried the chocolate covered biscuit. The chocolate shell is nice but the best part is the moist cookies inside. It's like a super moist gingerbread cookie on the inside and covered with chocolate on the outside. Definitely would try items from this bakery again! read more

I've only ever bought the individual pastries here, and they have always been good. The staff behind the counters have always been pleasant and provided good service. read more

If I can give it a zero, I would!!! I gave it one star because they have a variety of products. As for their pastries...well..lets put it this way...you can break a window with them. They are always stale. I bought several pastries for a visit with my friend and they were so stale we threw them. The next day I went back to the store and confronted them...the owner was really nasty. Several years have passed and I decided to give them one more chance! Well, guess what..I asked the sales girl if the pastries were fresh and she said yes (what else can she say as the owner was standing behind me). Well, I am very disappointed once again!!STALE!!!I will continue my business with SERANO!!!Always FRESH!! read more

Select Bakery - You can tell it's stale because the custard is really dry!!!! - Bakeries Near Me - East York, Ontario

This is my favorite of Greek style European bakeries in Toronto. You simply won't believe the amazing quality and selection of their products. From baked goods, deli, coffees and groceries they will always leave you coming back for more and leaving with a full tummy each time. Bougatsa, Spanakopita and a coffee. Mmmmmm.... read more

I was craving sweets one day and was looking for something different than my usual go-to dessert and came across Select Bakery on ubereats. I had been here a couple times before but had always gotten just the Loukumades. After spending some time browsing, I decided to try some other things on top of getting Loukumades. I ordered Galaktobureko slice (Custard pie), Pouro, Mini Kataifi, Samali, and baklava triangle. Most of these items are soaked in good amount of honey, that seems to be the general theme in Greek's pastry, which is not a bad thing. It just means they're sweet and I wasn't able to eat much in one seating :D read more

Local Greek bakery we visited daily for great lattes, fetas, olives and baked goods - highly recommend the Galaktoboureko (custard pie). Prices are very reasonable, products fresh, service friendly and quick. One morning the owner saw me waiting and opened a few minutes early! Love skipping the chain coffee shops for places like this :) read more

These wrapped snacks are amazing!! I ordered 50 each for my daughters engagement party as a dessert. I ordered through their user friendly website. After I ordered, they called to tell me when they were sending and by which carrier. They are in Toronto, Canada and I live in Maryland. I received the next day via DHL. Not one was broken. They looked beautiful. I put them in a gold wire birdcage, where guests got them. It looked beautiful. They have excellent service. I kept a few in fridge and they still taste fresh after 5 days. Compliments to you all !! read more

A selection of amazing fresh Greek and non Greek pastries at very good prices. Also lots of staples like Feta, olives and savory treats.

Ive been coming here for about 5 yrs now and I find their baked goods to be very average. You should be wary of ordering some products that have been sitting around past their prime . I've had cookies and some petit fours that were inedible due to their age . I've also noticed that most of the employees are miserable and not very friendly . It seems that when the wife of the owner is around everyone is on edge and I can see her watching diligently over her girls ,often chastising their work and admonishing them on the spot . Not a good thing to witness . Very little friendliness is shown to customers, especially those that don't speak Greek . After my last visit it's doubtful I'll return . read more

This neck of the woods is so underrepresented on Yelp. But here's another hidden gem of a euro bakery! It's a classic Greek bakery offering a variety of yummie, omnomerific goodness. There's a HUGE selection of pastries, cakes, and cookies including standard fare such as baklavas. They're so yummie and sweet, I swear my teeth want to jump out on the spot. The key is the quality honey and dough that they use. Seriously not going to find many better places it. But here's a little secret. I'm usually here for the Nutella filled chocolate covered cookies. When I want to "be the man" at a party, I bring over a box of these crispy, melt in your mouth cookie candies. Once these get unveiled and the ladies sample one, everyone wants to go home with me after. I'm not sure what they put into these, but I swear it's better than ecstasy. Giggidy giggdy! read more

Nice local bakery with a great selection of treats, ranging from the fancy (instagrammable little mousse cakes) to basic staples (fresh olive loaf, $10 fruit pies), and lots in-between (nice greek pastries & other treats). Also a lovely olive bar and a decent selection of greek grocery staples, as well as a small cafe section for eating in. Picked up a $10 cherry pie to bring to a dinner and it was homemade goodness. Would recommend this place and will be back myself. read more

Have been shopping here for years, always great products and service. It's pretty much a mini grocery store

Bakery goods excellent. Too bad the ladies serving the delicious morsels are so miserable. Not a smile, greeting, utterance of any kind. As long as you get fast and efficient service, who cares about attitude. I do. read more

Love this bakery on Donlands near O'Connor. They have a great selection of baked goods --- cakes, all kinds of cookies (those great butter ones), and Greek pastries (wonderful baklava and lots of different kinds too). Try out the pastries too --- fancy ones of all kinds. You can get some other Greek grocery type goods as well. Very reasonable too, and lots of choices. The hubby loved the Hazelnut Chocolate Mousse, and I love the Orange Baba. Parking is right in front on the street. read more

Just absolutely awesome - love, love their Spinach Pies, custard slices, almond cookies, - in fact everything I purchase is top notch and their staff are all very welcoming and attentive. My friend called and thanked me for introducing her to your lovely Bakery. When Donlands Bakery closed i had spinach pies from a lot of different bakeries but none could compare with yours - it is the very best. What a fantastic bakery. I wish you much success.

I have been very fond of this establishment. Baklava is one of my favourite. But today I had a very racist/ unpleasant experience. I was wearing traditional muslim Jubba when i went there. The lady who was helping me seems to be not happy from the beginning. I am putting my conversation with her here. Me: Hi, this particular Baklava have Nutella? Lady: Yes, What do you mean? Me: I need 1lb of them. Then she was saying something not clear. Me: Excuse me! you are saying something? Lady: NOTHING! Me: Oh. Ok. Then we headed to the counter and finishing up the transaction. During the whole time she didn't say a word not even thanks or how you would like to pay or any general courtesy word. While i was leaving i said thanks to her. She was completely silent and from the look of her face it was clear that she wasn't happy at all. read more

The Greek baked goods are delicious! Cinnamon ring and Apple turnover are my favs. It's more of a take out place but they do have couple of dozen seats by the front window where you can just sit and enjoy your baked goods with tea or coffee which they also sell. -- Parking -- Free parking in front after 6pm. Meter parking of $3 @ 1/2 hr 9am to 6pm. Be aware, the meter cop likes to come around 5:30pm to give parking tickets to anyone parked there without having bought a parking from the machines. read more

Got order delivered yesterday pasteli package had a hole in it and koulourakia taste stale and not fresh. Called to let them know these things. They did nothing to rectify; maybe send something different a credit anything. They don't care about the customer is how I felt after the phone call and will take my business elsewhere. There are other bakeries that treat their customers better. As a company you need to be able to take criticism and hear people out and do something to rectify the issue not tell them they're wrong and what they're saying isn't true. Work on your customer service skills! read more

The eclairs and whatever these hazelnut / cinnamon macaroons were unlike anything I've ever tasted. Sooo amazing! I'm almost glad I don't live close because it would be deadly. Highly recommend! read more

Randomly found this place when visiting Toronto. Received a sample of the chocolate baklava and honestly one of the best deserts I've ever had in my life. Exceptional customer service and everything we bought was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to come back! Very impressed!! read more

Last night agapi mou (my Greek lovah) brought over two boxes of fresh goodies from Select Bakery. Each box must have weighed 3lbs as they were filled with extremely fresh honey soaked goodies. The loukoumades here were the best I've ever had! They were like "mini" loukoumades (loukoumadakia) only the size of a quarter or so. They were soaked heavily in honey. I also tried TOULOUBES for the first time, which were a tube-shape piece of fried dough soaked in the honey liquid. These were the sweetest Greek treat I've tried yet, completely ridiculous. Honourable mentions for the baklava, kadafia, galaktoboureko (custard pie) and melomakarona (honey walnut macaroons). They also seem to sell everything in a chocolate dipped variety as well. Clap clap. 6 hours later I fell into a deep honey-induced coma-like sleep. I'm going to the gym later today. read more

Been in here quite a few times over the years and probably went up a few pant sizes because of it. Glad it's on a crappy bus route or i would have to wear track pants by now. They have an ample choice of pastries, cookies, bread and a pretty sizable olive bar. The place is super clean and the staff is pretty friendly. read more

Under every normal circumstance i would have given this bakery a 4 or 5 but as i went in today and asked for a specific product which they refused to sell me because of their "display". Had i gone into any other bakery and asked for a specific cake/cupcake or piece of dessert they would have given to me but the front lady and baker REFUSED and not only that but the baker was condescending and talked down to me as if i were an idiot. Maybe had their not been visual a visual difference i wouldn't have been so picky but as you can see by the picture there was a difference in quality (old versus fresh) I will never step foot in here especially considering i can make this stuff myself at home but didn't want to be bothered making huge batches read more

Breads and sweets are very nice and staff is very friendly and helpful. The one thing that I don't like is when you buy sweets and they put them in their fancy box with their name on it they charge you for the box!! If you buy tulumbes (not sure if I spelled it right) the box at $14 per kg comes out to $1. You add that up over a month of buying treats from their and your spending $20-$25 on stupid boxes. Asked the owner why he doesn't put a tare on the weigh scales for the boxes and he basically said if you don't like it go somewhere else! So I did, bye bye :) read more

Select is a cultural overload. From the moment you step through those large glass doors into the overwhelming piles of European (specifically Greek) pastries, fridges, and assorted canned goods, it's a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory kind of experience. Aside from culturally specific items, they also have great cakes that range between $24-30 and unbelievable Greek pastries. The baklava is divine and the loukoumades actually don't taste as disgustingly sweet as the ones on the Danforth. Speaking from personal experience, their cakes are packaged in a sturdy box that can survive a 2 hour trek on foot, subway and bus. Service can be slow on a Friday afternoon or on the weekends, but the girls behind the counter hustle, and you can tell. The bonus is watching old Greek couples yell out orders in Greek and bicker with each other, or when the girls get recognized by family friends. Cultural tourism aside, their baked goods are really the most reasonably priced for the quality. read more

It's nice to have this large Greek Bakery in my neighborhood! It's a handy place to pick up items like yogurt, cheese, cold cuts, olives, sea salt, pasta, etc. That being said, it could be better. For example, all of thier breads are rustic, old world-style loaves. They're quite crusty, and even after its been sliced, it hurts the corners of your mouth when you bite into a sandwich. Not that it's bad bread - it tastes great! It's just frustrating because they have SO many types of bread, yet none of them have a soft crust. I wish they made just one light rye or sourdough or white sandwich bread for their non-Greek customers - they'd really expand their clientele. Same thing with the pastries. They're not bad - they're very authentic. Greek pastry cream tastes very different from French or Italian, the style most Torontonians are used to. It tastes fine with their Greek pastries, but when they use the same Greek-style filling in cupcakes or macarons, it tastes strange. I avoid all of those pastries. Again, if they made only a few great items in a style that non-Greek customers are used to, they'd do so well! There are no other good bakeries in this affluent, young, residential neighborhood. Most families go all the way to Coxwell for an after-dinner treat. The best desserts at Select are the ones closer to the cash register, at eye-level. Everything in that display is delicious and well worth trying! All in all, this I'm really happy that Select Bakery is so close to my home, but just like every other business on that Donlands strip, it has the potential to be SO much better. read more

Select Bakery is a great little Euro/Greek bakery in York. I try to stop there every time I'm in the area, which is about 3-4 times a year. Their baclava is truly as good as my old nextdoor neighbor's (she was from Greece). They also have a ton of other delicious pastries that I'm not going to even attempt to spell! Just trust what the people there suggest and I guarantee you'll be satisfied. High praise as I love this bakery! read more

A really great, old-school Greek bakery. Worth the short drive north from the Danforth. Parking can be tricky Saturday afternoons and Sundays after church, but always worth it. The desserts are always reliably good, the breads are fine, love love love the little containers of baked custard, but the absolute star of the show for me - the sesame rings - like the outside of a perfect Montreal bagel without the innards. $0.40 a piece (I'd pay more for sure) - hard to stop snacking on them. Warmed up at home with sweet butter and some cherry or plum preserves on the side, they're better than any cake. read more

Service sucked , I had to walk out because no one would serve me. A girl put a tray of pastries back into the counter right in front of me and then quickly turned her head and then her back to me to avoid contact. The guy before me had THREE people serving him. Many others behind the counter were doing things other than serving customers too. No one even said a word to me. Bye - Bye read more

We always get our Greek pastries from here. In particular the mini baklava are our favourite. Staff are very helpful and friendly. A neighbourhood gem. read more

Happened to be in the area when I spotted this bakery. Decided to try it as I had heard good things. Everything I heard was accurate. The interior was very pleasing, the staff helpful and friendly and most importantly, the deserts were amazing. Chocolate covered baklava, Nutella macarons and triple chocolate mousse. Even took home some Greek Easter bread. Would highly recommend! read more

Everytime I walk in here there are lots of goodies. I always wonder how they keep it all so fresh! Today I bought a loaf of bread for $1.75. The grocery store is $3.99. I think this is definitely a win as well as I love supporting my neighbourhood business. read more

We've always loved the fresh bread and scrumptious sesame rings at this bakery, but we only just discovered THE BEST VEGAN SPANAKOPITA ever!!

Best baklava ever!!! I first tried their baklava years ago as I got a box from friends that came over to visit... Since then, I've tried baklava from many places and it's never been as good as select bakery. Whenever I'm in the area I make sure to get some... It might even be worth the 40min drive over from my place ;) read more

Went in there a couple of weeks ago to get my Easter treats. Even though the store was packed, the service was impeccable, the girls really rush and try to accommodate everyone in a timely manner. Their pastries were great. read more
