PHIPPS BAKERY CAFE
...Where Dessert Comes First
I bought my friend her birthday cake from here. The strawberry banana cake. It was delicious! Banana bread with delicious strawberry icing. The icing wasn’t too sweet and tasted nice and smooth.
The cake itself was gorgeous. I will buy from Phipps again.
Cute bakeshop that offers many variety of treats and a back section for hot food (with frozen takeaways too). The service is friendly and straightforward. The pricing is reflective of the quality of food you get. Loved the banana cake - even with the buttercream, it wasn't overly sweet - just perfect. Excited to try other cakes and treats here. No seating spots here - it's a grab and go spot.
Cute cafe, with a lot of bakery/dessert and gifts items. This place feels cozy inside. However, some of the desserts we tried wasn't that good. It felt dried and lacked flavour. The latte was terrible, super bitter. They were closing when we went, maybe they rushed it. Also, overly priced for the quality of items - a bag of short bread cookies were $14 (and it wasn't good). The thumbprint cookies looked super yummy, but it wasn't fresh and the caramel on top tasted a bit off - didn't enjoy it and threw it out. When they were closing SO much bakery items were still left behind, maybe they sell those again the next day? That would be my only assumption from how dried many of the items we bought :( and the kids on the cup comes off easily, becareful when drinking. Again for the price of items in the shop, wish it was better quality, I think this place is overrated from our experience.
Neighbourhoods are built and maintained by places like this. Everything I’ve had here is delicious from breads to quiches to soups, cookies, pies, and pastries. I’ve also had birthday cakes made here.
Kind people delicious food decent coffee. They’ll also easily accommodate special orders for special days. This Christmas I got mincemeat, their famous butter tarts, and my father‘s favourite ginger snap cookies.
This is a charming bakery cafe, that's definitely worth a visit if you like sweet treats. It has a great selection of freshly baked, cookies, cakes, pastries and cakes for special occasions. They also sell cookie dough which is really good.
The cakes are carefully packaged and boxed for travel.
Nice bakery with freshly baked breads, pastries, cakes etc. There is usually a queue to follow if you're buying something.
Many of the items are not price marked.
Service was okay, I wanted to look around a bit and check prices but they asked me to get into line without even seeing what I wanted to ask. I didn't want to hold up a line trying to choose which is why I was looking around.
There are many regulars at the store. They even sell additional products like cards, small gift items, paper napkins etc. Overall products are good and it's worth a visit for sure.
This bakery has some good items (bagels), however after having tried their samosas, bagels, spanakopita and pastries, I find that they savory food lacks flavour and was stale/dry. The sweeter items did not leave me craving to come back. 3 stars because service is quick and prices are reasonable. Not excited about going back though..
Jeez....it happens. They work hard, and maybe sometimes mistakes happen, nobody is infallible but generally I've never had a singular issue with Phipps and they're a neighborhood bastion been there forever. The less ppl like Tammy come around, the more pie, cake, pastry they're going to have for me when I come through, so I definitely think Tammy is doing god's work in making sure to spread the news lmfao. Phipps gets enough neighborhood business that they're always running out of stuff, I think that's evidence enough that they're running a great business and will never be going "broke"
This is a bakery that has added a few tables at back and a lunch time selection of some salads and pasta dishes. The baking is excellent and the limited food items are fresh and well prepared. We took some bow tie pasta home and it was very good. Coffee Tea etc nice friendly service. Very much a neighbourhood type place with lots of regular customers. If you are in the area its a much better place for a coffee and pastry or a light lunch than the starbucks on the corner.
Every single time, with out fail, when I am in Toronto I make my way to mid-town to visit Phipps Bakery.
My absolute favourite bakery, just being inside the shop is an experience. I love that you can see the bakers baking goodies in the front window, it smells heavenly. The front dessert display feels reminiscent of a Parisian bakery from a child's storybook.
When you wander into the back of the shop it becomes the quaintest cafe where the walls are covered in murals and you almost feel like you're on an indoor patio. The salad bar is literally the best I have ever had, its so well thought out. It's not like when you go to Loblaws and it feels like every salad is seasoned the same. Every dish has a unique flavour!
The lentil stew always knocks my socks off, the daily quiche is magical, and the mac n cheese is not just for kids. I also would like to propose marriage to the falafel.
I think it's really cool that Phipps is vegetarian without FEELING vegetarian, like... it doesnt feel devoid of something. Its comfort food, sans meat.
By way of desserts, I recommend e v e r y t h i n g - but specifically for small treats, the Walnut Thumprint Cookie is so buttery and rich and the raspberry jam in the centre is sweet and tart. I also always have to pick up chocolate pecan buttertarts, (I love the mixed packs of mini buttertarts) lemon shortbread slices, and chocolate chip cookies.. I swoon over them, and they're especially good dipped into coffee.
My go to cakes are either the apple divine cake (OMG) or the mom's chocolate. For my own birthday I got the marble galaxy and there was not a crumb left.
I will end this by saying, that if you walk in there, and you just can't decide, buy yourself the CHEESECAKE BROWNIE. It only comes in pans, not individual, but that's ok because the trick is to stick it in your freezer and have a bite a day to keep yourself happy #portioncontrol
