    Americano and a scone
    Kristian U.

    This place used to be an oddly named Pie shop... that didn't serve pies, like ever, so I never really went to visit them. Then recently, as I'm made to understand, the owner sold the business to his staff who revamped the place and renamed it, The Happy Bakers (Cafe and Bakery). The emphasis now is on good coffee and amazing baked goods. And the goods are DAMN GOOD - let me tell you. Fresh off a strict diet I am in my fat kid element getting a scone to go with my daily Americano. Best of all, for a remote working guy like me, there is wifi (you need to ask) and it's seldom very busy at all. They have a variety of baked goods but their standout has to be the unique daily selection of scones. Yumm! So far I've had a pecan/chocolate chip and then today a carrot flavoured muffin jam packed with nuts, seeds and berries. The also have some limited savoury eats (potentially more to come) but for now it's catering to the local school kids who stop by, and there is macNcheese (but like real stuff) and paninni pressed grilled cheese sandwiches. It's a simple place, its cozy, and friendly and the staff/owners love what they do (you can tell), so the business name is more than appropriate. Catch me here weekdays getting baked (goods) Eatcrest Out.

    The happy baker has the most amazing baked goods! I always try to catch them at the Montgomery inn farmers market or at their location on lakeshore. The candied pecans are a great addition to any cheese board, perfectly sweet. The peanut butter cookies and fiber molasses cookies are just so delicious you will want to eat the whole bag. The only critique is that they are little pricey for baked good. Other than that I would recommend checking them out.

    The Happy Bakers bought out the bakery that was previously at this location, and I was excited to go in and see what they have to offer because they're within comfortable walking distance from my home and very near the local library, so I like to stop in sometimes with my kids for an after-school treat. I spoke with an employee who reported that the "new" bakery is owned by an employee of the previous incarnation, and the purchase included the old bakery's recipes. That is to say, not much has changed here except the beautiful new signage outdoors. On our most recent visit, we purchased a reasonably-priced bag of chocolate chip cookies to bring to a park play date. The kids devoured them, and the few bites I managed to snag were tasty; slightly crisp but not hard, buttery and not overly sweet. My issue with this bakery is that the shelves are usually barren. I understand that they do a good commercial business, shipping to markets and such, but they don't seem to leave much for the local storefront patrons. We'll continue to visit out of convenience, but they're nowhere near my favourite local bakery.

    Review Highlights - The Happy Bakers

    I was craving a scone and for some reason, the majority of bakeries and cafes along Lakeshore don't offer any?

    Tried binshu for the first time. The way it was describe to me is it's like shaved ice but from ice…read morecream. It's condensed milk with shave it. And you add topings. I tried the melon one. It was refreshing and the melon were fresh. I'm not a big fan in the end, but still good. My girlfriend took mango cheesecake one and she really liked it. There's is also drink and many from current or past scent like ive concert and BTS. I would like to try one of their drink next. As for the size, you can get them in cup or bowl. The bowl are huge, easily shareable by 2 to 4 person.

    It's a cute cafe in the Spadina strip. We tried the mango bingsu and the beargato which was…read morebasically affogato poured on a bear and I am editing this review to add a few things around the taste... So the bear itself in the affogato was a solid icy chunk of milk (coz we chose the milk flavour) that just frozen. We added the affogato on top of it and while it looked aesthetic, the dessert didn't make sense at all. We were unable to break the frozen chunk or be able to mix it with the coffee and the coffee mixed with that frozen chunk submerged tasted really bad. Paying $16 for that wasn't worth it at all. The bingsu was good though. We got the mango bingsu bowl and it came loaded with mangoes and a marshmallow and an oreo cookie to make it look pretty! I don't think I'd come back to try anything else here. Was a little disappointed.

    One of the only places to get Late-Night dessert! Holy Choco stays open till 4 AM which means you…read morecan satisfy your sweet tooth at (almost) any hour of the day Their menu is HUGE and unfortunately has some steep pricing, but the food quality is excellent. Delicious desserts, waffles ice cream, smoothies, and more. We ordered: Medium Mango Smoothie - $7.95 Simple Pleasures Waffle - $15.50 The waffle was light and fluffy and the toppings of fruit and chocolate were a great combination. I requested to be lighter on the chocolate but there was still a LOT of chocolate on our waffle. The mango smoothie was refreshing and sweet. I started going to Holy Choco when they first opened and their service was really good from some of the owner. Super attentive and caring staff. Unfortunately, it's since gone downhill since they've hired new staff and we had a number of small problems when visiting this time (dirty tables, dirty cutlery, requested if our food could be put in to go containers because they didn't want to do dishes, unfriendly, etc.) I hope they improve upon these staffing issues soon. Their seating area is good for friends and groups to loiter. Also, if you plan on bringing a laptop, they have MANY OUTLETS!!

    Holy heck this dessert spot by Wellington Station was amazing…read more Highly recommend the dessert wheel ("Fondue for 2-3" $29.99). We chose dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and Nutella. For items: we chose strawberry, banana, halal marshmallow, waffle bites, brownie bites, and Oreo with a round of cappuccino's ($5.50 each). The interior is nicely decorated with a cute angel photo op in the back, and window bar seats and couches to choose from. Great spot for 2-4 people. The only criticism I could have was it took a while to get our order. So, it's not one of those places you can be dipping into expecting to be done in 20mins! We stayed for nearly 3 hours and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.
