What a Bakery

I went Sat November 14^th, I thought I would try their cupcakes. I purchased 4. Chocolate fudge, Strawberry shortcake, pink velvet and pumpkin spice. The pumpkin spice was excellent however the rest were very dry and went to the garbage. I also purchased a custard tart, it was excellent! There were many other tasty looking confections that I would like to try in the future. For 4 cupcakes and 1 custard tart was almost $ 15.

Got here just before closing time at 7pm. There is lots of variety to choose from in terms of desserts and pastries.
I got a bunch of stuff to try. The one item that I really liked was the red velvet cake which was $ 3.35 a slice. The cake itself was moist and had just the right amount of icing. I also got a brownie, a cheese danish and others which I don’t even remember what they are called.
Overall a very good bakery with lots of things to choose from.

This bakery is located in a strip plaza. On a sunday afternoon, the parking lot was nearly vacant. Surprisingly, the bakery was busy with people coming in and out, along with a group seated for coffee/​breakfast.
The smell of fresh baked goods was impressive. The service behind the counter was friendly.
We got half-​baguettes ($ 0.75/each) and ciabatta buns ($ 0.50/each), which were light/​fluffy with a nice crust on the outside. The clerk recommended their coconut bread, which we enjoyed thoroughly. Portion was generous, enough for 2 people. For 2.35, this was a steal!
Will definitely be coming back for more.

The woman is really nice. The baked goods are excellent.

If you happen to travel to this area and see the plazas that reside at Morningside & Milner, you wouldn’t have noticed them few years prior. I worked in this Industrial section of this East-​end before and wasn’t fortunate enough to see what it has become. Although it’s not a destination area, it’s still better than the wasteland it was before.
All that said, it was a nice time to revisit this area and find a few places worth my time to explore. What a Bakery is one place that looked hospitable and I was searching for Dessert anyways as a prior lunch-​buddy suggested. It’s a family small business so they close on Mondays. What is recognizable in this spacious limited seating Bakery is the La Rocca brand Cakes in the displays.
There was a few Bread items in one corner while what they do onsite are the smaller items such as Cookies, Brownies, Tarts, Strudels, and Savoury (Meat) Phyllo items was an interesting item to find here. I am now finding out that the 2 varieties of Coconut Tarts use a Phyllo crust as well rather than Pie crust. Also found out why the Tarts don’t SIT up straight (see photo).
I had the Banana Bread PUDDING ($ 1.50) which was warmed up for me as it was my first time having Banana Bread Pudding which has that Banana Bread crust and an interior of dense but Ripe Banana flavour. For that price, I’m quite happy to have learned that Banana Bread can be escalated to another format. Not much here in terms of Drinks aside from Coffee/​Tea which are the normal drink of choice anyways.
