The staff was incredibly friendly. They had a wide variety of options that you don't typically see at gluten-free bakeries. We tried the donuts, chicken parmesan calzones, and scallion pancakes. We were so impressed by both the food and the service.

I absolutely love this bakery. The owner, Naja, is a true gem. She is not only a fantastic baker but also a kind person.

Because I was new to the store, the lady gave me samples to try, and talked me through the whole ordering experience. It turns out that many of the items at this bakery can be ordered gluten free, or even vegan. I thought an egg allergy would be very frustrating to shop around, but this bakery has lots of choices, including cookies, cinnamon buns, cupcakes, and tarts. My favourite items were the chocolate cupcakes (great for the kids), all the cookies, corn bread muffins, and the mini pizzas. Since I don't have serious dietary restrictions myself, I opted for the gluten free when I could (instead of vegan). I ended up purchasing quite a few things for myself as well as for my son's class. I really appreciated the level of expertise and service, and I'll definitely be going back.  The location is a little tricky to get to at first, but my phone guided me right, and parking was no problem. It is definitely worth the effort for these baked goods some of the best in the city for gluten free, vegan, and other special needs, I think.

Such delicious food, calzones, pierogies, Jamaican beef pies, cinnamon rolls, donuts, buns, so much more! I can hardly wait to go back! The donuts are phenomena... read more Such delicious food, calzones, pierogies, Jamaican beef pies, cinnamon rolls, donuts, buns, so much more! I can hardly wait to go back! The donuts are phenomenal!
