Bake Code is the hottest new bakery which recently opened up at Yonge and Sheppard. Combining Asian and European techniques makes it a truly unique experience.
Pros:
Very unique items for sale
Partnership with Chatime
Cons:
Prices are a bit higher than usual Chinese bakeries
I've come here a couple of times since it opened and it's always full each time. As I said before, they combine techniques from Asian and European bakeries to create some pretty unique items. There are some items you may recognize from the usual Asian and Euro bakeries, but they definitely have more items that are their own unique creations.
They have an extensive menu but not everything is available at any given time. They are constantly baking throughout and items will come out on a schedule. This can be a little frustrating if you're coming in looking for a certain item though. My GF has shown up multiple times looking for the earl gray tea flute but has not been able to procure one yet. My little one loves this place as they have tons of free samples to try.
As if you needed any other reason to come there's also a Chatime here! I do have to put the disclaimer here that it's not Chatime employees making you're drink though. It's the bakery employees that make the drink. I believe the girl making my drink was making one for the very first time. It wasn't horrible but it did feel like something was lacking. If you're a Chatime junkie like me, it might bother you but if you don't go often you won't notice at all.
The prices here are a tad on the expensive side. The regular items you can find elsewhere are anywhere from 50 cents to 2 dollars more pricey. The unique items they offer can you set you back anywhere from $5 to $10. Some of the items are worth the mark up. It's up to you to decide whether you feel it's worth it or not.
All in all, I do like Bake Code a lot. They are missing my egg tarts though. Should they get those in the menu I will immediately give this place 5 stars!!!
