Located close to a church so traditionally Sundays after mass are really busy but the best time to get fresh Pastizzi.
Like many places in the old parts of Toronto parking can be hard to find so you are better off in the back streets than the meters on Dundas.
Its a family business and the staff is very nice. They make most traditional Maltese items really well and have free refills on the coffee as well.
The best thing about the Malta Bake Shop is the environment. A European feel with pictures on the walls, small tables for a communal feel, and a great buzz during busy periods.
If you come when its not so busy I don't recommend the Pastizzi as they keep it under heat lamps. Try things like Asetat (Molasses rings) or traditional Maltese biscuits), just ask the staff to run through the options.
If it was not for the Pastizzi under the lamps during slow periods I would give them 5 stars.
