First time coming here and definitely won’t be the last, I got the Lemon Cream Cake for my moms birthday i was looking for something tasty and elegant! I hit the jackpot with this one! The white chocolate shavings with the creamy lemon filling and a light cake. Was the perfect bite! Will be coming back for more haha!

I have been coming here for years and have been absolutely obsessed with the pies here! Best in the city. The staff is super nice. Victoria in particular is amazing and went above and beyond - I came last week with my daughter and they were sold out of my favourite pie, so she whipped up one quickly just for me while we waited in the cute seating area with a delicious latte and hot chocolate. Thank you, Victoria and Phipps! We will be back soon :)

My partner loves butter tarts and he puts Phipps on the top of his favorite list. It's even better after warming it up a little at home so that the center is gooey again. I personally like that we can buy just one so I can then choose something more aligned to my tastes.
I had the almond croissant recently and they are generous with the amount of almond slivers stuffed inside the croissant. Usually the inner filling is too sweet, but Phipps strikes the right balance between the sweet filling, croissant and almonds. Each pastry is around $3.5, so it can add up quickly!

Moved to the area and found the perfect bakery for all our sweet cravings and occasions . Got their lemon coconut. the lady on the phone described it to be amazing and we weren't disappointed at all. It was the perfect amount of cake to icing and the flavors delivered on point. Looking forward to getting many more cakes in the future.

This review is based solely on preordered cake twice (yes, it was that good, we went back for a subsequent birthday) and their amaretti cookies. We have tried their vanilla cake with strawberry buttercream. First time it was for myself and I requested extra buttercream which they accommodated without slapping on any cost. Second order was for my daughter so I didn't request extra buttercream and it was even tastier. We now know the way to go for my next birthday! I have to avoid the area even though there is an SDM and Global pets located conveniently close as their amaretti cookies are to

The smell ! That's advertisement enough! Freshly baked bread and other delicacies will drawn you in. I was quite surprised to find hot food as well and those are good too. I tried the Quiche and a mixed vegetables. Beautiful decor. Cards and some party accessories are also sold. They are allowing 3 people at a time. Please wear a mask.

Very unique and eclectic place. Walking in, it will remind you of nothing as it just is that different. It does however give me a bit of a 90's feel based on their non-commercial aesthetic and "anything goes" decor and that they offer a bit of everything (bakery, cafe, hot table, even flowers and gifts).
I've been in a couple times and I've only ever ordered individual-sized bakery items. I think one was an apple crumble and the other was a tart. Both times I picked up an Americano which was made right and on a proper machine.

This bakery is heaven for the cake lovers! Especially their well known Dad's and Mom's chocolate cakes. The taste/quality is very good. Also sometimes they have some samples on the side to try if you are unsure of what to get.
The interiors and also the items you get here are fancy and unique except for one fact that never have specialty coffee drinks here. The cappuccino was so bad and also the strawberry baked good I had seemed hard/not fresh at Al (hence 3 stars) but otherwise they deserve 5. Wide variety of food they sell apart from just being a cafe.. I am yet to try anything apart

Yummy, local and quaint bakery. Our favourite is the Lemon Escapade Cake! Lots of snacks and desserts offered with a small hot table in the back. You can also buy frozen pies to bake at home - smells delicious!
Tip: if you are buying for a special occasion, they also have a selection of cards and candles.

Ordered the Park Avenue Mousse last week for Mother's Day. I screwed up the dates on my order and they accommodated the correction without hesitation. The cake/mousse! Oh man, it was amazing. While it is a little pricey, it is so worth it! I have a little left over and it is taking every fibre of my being to not slam my face into it! When there I picked up some everything cookies too, these are the best cookies to have with a nice coffee.
Can't wait to try the lemon raspberry cake, now I just need a reason to buy a whole one!

I first heard about this bakery thanks to my mother in law who is a regular cake purchaser there. They have one of the best carrot cakes I have ever had! Rich; delicious and moist! Phipps didn't hit a 5 star for me as I noticed there wasn't very much carrot in the carrot cake! One other mention is that the Banana bread cake was good, but almost tasted a little stale - not dry - but almost chewy...just something to be aware of!

I've been shopping at Phipps since I moved to this neighbourhood 12 years ago. In my humble opinion, there are not many bakeries in the city that can compete with Phipps' butter tarts. I almost always bring 4 or 6 as a gift when I go to dinner parties. You actually save a little when you purchase 6. Every person that has received Phipps' tarts as a gift has pretty much lost their mind over these delicious sweet gems. It's also great that they are across from the LCBO. This makes for a convenient pairing of dessert and wine etc.

I don't know how my pseudo-mom found this place but I'm glad she did. Bakery at the front which also sells frozen meals.
There's a small dining area at the back where they attempt to whisk you to Europe. Unfortunately, being a popular spot in the area it can be extremely loud. They have a few hot items during the lunch hour. I've never ordered anything aside from the Mac and cheese but have always been very satisfied (and full).
The only thing we've had from there that was too rich was their chocolate cake. A group of us chocolate fanatics tried it but very few could

Phipps Bakery Cafe was a nice cafe. There are many tables and seats. I can go there to have a cup of coffee and relax. There are some women who are chatting over coffee and women who are having a regular brunch. It is a nice atmosphere. Coffee is not bad. Pastries are good but not excellent. The staff is nice. I want to come back there to have a cup of coffee and write my journal.

In need of some lovely bakery items/pastries to take to a dinner party, someone recommended this place to me. Walking into this small and dark - dark in a good way - place takes you into a another sensory world. Fresh baked breads, cakes, cookies and croissants are just a few of the things you can get here. There is also a section for both fresh and frozen meals - Mac & Cheese; Pasta; Tuna Casserole among other dishes. The great thing is that they come in different portion sizes - the one for the single gal is about $7.50 - which is good for 2 lunch portions (for me anyways!).

Step inside, inhale that sweet sweet aroma, and just TRY to resist the drool-worthy selection of cookies, cakes, butter tarts, brownies and ruggelah. Muhahaha.....resistance is futile! These decadent goodies belong in your belly.
Personal faves: PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES. Also, the chocolate cake with chocolate fudge icing.
Also, try their gourmet caramel corn. Amazing.
They even make homemade cookie dough that puts Pilsbury to shame.
In the morning, I crave their muffins. Get there before 9am for a piping hot, fresh-out-of-the-oven treat that falls apart when you eat it (grab a fork). Banana or

A. Quite possibly, the most beautiful bakery in Toronto. When you walk in, stop just inside the door and take in the view. You will get the surreal feeling of having stepped inside the pages of a lavishly illustrated storybook. Literally breathtaking as the aroma of sweet baked goods is heavenly.
B. I won't even begin to review in detail the taste of the baked goods I tried - sticky caramel butter tarts; gooey crumbly date squares; chewy-moist, rich chocolate brownies; shortbread filled with lemon curd. Everything tastes as wonderful as it looks. Refer to A.
C. Friendly service. Reasonably

I went to Phipps in search of excellent pumpkin pie after an extensive google search for all the top places. On the first day I went they had *sadly* sold out and were in the process of making more. I consoled myself with a caramel pecan butter tart that was delightfully tasty.
I found myself at Yonge and Eg the very next day and decided to try my luck again...success! I bought two of the medium tarts, one with pumpkin seeds and one without, and my roommate and I shared them. They were both fantastic and I will definitely be going back for more.
Aside from the delicious pies there are a lot

The exterior of Phipps just pulls you in. I was walking along Eglinton after work and peeked inside... tons and tons of sweets. All sweets except for the hard candy is made on site. It's a shame I didn't have my camera with me to prove just how many sweets that are offered at Phipps.
This bakery is not limited to sweets; they sell ready made dinners and sandwiches. I had class that night so I bought their fresh hummus wrap. For $3.99, you get two big pitas with hummus, red pepper and basil leaves. It was so filling and so good!

*warning - selection OVERLOAD*
WAY too many choices!! Which can sometimes (for me) be a bad thing. I spend more time deciding than eating!! This place is kinda all over the place and it has a very quirky feel to it that I really dig. They have a very *healthy* selection of sweets, a salad/soup station as well they have a fridge and freezer full of pre-made dinners, dips, spreads, sauces, cakes etc. I think you can even get sandwiches and quiches, but I always go for the sugar.
mmm sugary goodness....
