Great little spot with amazing treats. I highly recommend getting Grandma Mabel's carrot cake. What's that you say? You're a grown responsible adult that doesn't get themselves a piece of cake unless it's a kid's birthday party? That's all going to change after you try this. Super moist, creamy, complex, and delicious like you didn't think possible. I recently tried their chocolate cake too (see photo) and it's also worth getting. Fudgey, super moist, and balanced instead of being overly sweet. Also, if you want someone to fall in love with you, buy them one of Home Baking's cinnamon rolls or ice cream sandwiches. You're welcome.

Loved their burnt toffee ice cream in a cone. What made it better is the generous serving of the ice cream. The server filled the cone first and then added extra layers at the top.
Great work Home Baking Co. I shall be back for more.

Love the atmosphere - prices are fair for what you’re getting. Had what I believe is the perfect butter croissant - not too rich not too light, just right. Latte was decent too! Not much seating as a heads up if you’re looking for a sit down cafe

I ordered the half ice cream sandwich (burnt toffee icecream with double chocolate icecream). The icecream was good but I didn't like the texture of the toffee bits in it. The cookie was good. There are 3 small tables for indoor dining. Would consider visiting if I was in the area again but not worth making a trip for.

A cute little cafe, like the vibe, friendly staff, the pecan butter tart is on point, the ham and cheese croissant is delicious

The baked goods here are the best, fresh and the staff is so friendly.
It’s hard to choose what to get since everything looks amazing.

The proprietor of the shop went to high school with my wife. Solid home baking elevated. Had the carrot cake and a cinnamon bun. Both were next level delicious. Next time I'm trying the bead pudding (it's made from croissants). Freaking genius, can't wait!

Home Baking Co. is a stop I must fulfill in my short-lived trips to Toronto. They have the best chocolate cake I have ever had, and I have tried a lot of chocolate cake in my lifetime. The staff are also so lovely and accommodating with special requests, and I can't wait for every birthday cake ever of mine to be the chocolate cake from here. Besides their chocolate cake, my family and I love their assorted pastries that vary daily. You can never go wrong at this bakery.

Yummy yummy baked goods... the ice cream sandwiches are good with fresh-made cookies and different pressures flavours of ice cream! The staff is really nice and are covid friendly. Only one guest or a couple are allowed in at a time and the entrance is accessible with flat Street and a door to open.

A sweet little spot! I got Grandma Mabel's carrot cake and a cinnamon bun: both were delicious and I'll definitely be coming back for more. The coffee was pretty good too, and the staff was friendly .

Great pastries and desserts. I really like the setup and design of the place. It is very retro and vintage looking. Top that with good and tasty espresso and a lemon Tart it was just the best finale for my weekend. The location is a bit tough to notice in the overwhelming busy surrounding but once you notice it and walk in your will be welcomed by a warm vibe, cool music and a very friendly staff. It not busy at all or at least on a Saturday afternoon it wasn’t. Will definitely be back after this first visit with a lighter stoMach to try the other goodies they have on their menu.

Probably my favourite cookies in the city 😩 whenever I have the chance to pass by I always get them. I recently also tried the brownie and pineapple mango coconut tart for the first time. Brownie was amazing and rich, but not too fudge-y nor cake-y. I liked the salt flakes on top. The pineapple tart was new and it was a bit too sweet and it broke apart easily when we cut into it so it wasn't sturdy at all, but the flavours and textures were good. The tart has no nuts in it, which we had to confirm since they don't actually make the tart themselves (I guess they source it from elsewhere). If you like butter tarts, these ones are super sweet, but I guess you're technically eating melted sugar so it should be expected.
For people with nut allergies, they do have a lot of products that use nuts and there may be cross contamination, like they keep all the cookies in the same bin even when some have nuts.

Almost hole-in-the-wall bakeshop without a clear signage. Place looked empty and not just because a couple and the two staff were the only other people. Almond croissant was nice but the vegan and gluten-free chocolate chip cookie was surprisingly good. Nice place for a quiet breakfast. Service was fast and friendly.

Those pastries! Delicious pastries, freshly baked and amazing coffee.

Fave bakery/coffee in the neighbourhood. I haven’t come across any baked goods that I don’t love here. Everything is so fresh! The carrot cake has become a staple order with my family and friends get togethers!

This review is strictly about their butter tarts because we didn’t order anything else. They are SO good. We’ve tried so many of “the best” (including driving small town bakeries in PEC) and this is better than most. Flaky crust that holds its shape with a molten barely-set centre. I would come back for these alone!

Amazing coffee and seemingly delicious pastry! I didn't get one because I noticed lots of fruit flies around them! Wouldn't recommend it for working because tables are small (refer to the picture of my laptop on the table -no room for my coffee mug), also not many plugs aaand... table is high relative to the chair which makes typing a pain!
to summarize:
Coffee and pastries: 10/10
Cleanliness: 5/10
Sitting area: 6/10
P.S. I wish Google had the basic ability of adding titles to your pics! 🙄 that mug is their latte!
