I follow Bake Shoppe on Instagram and finally checked out the shop last Saturday because I was in the area.
The block has an interesting mix of shops and restaurants; it's definitely an area that has changed significantly in the last ten years. Anyway, I digress; back to the Bake Shoppe.
It's such a cute little place. As others have noted in their reviews, there's a wall with 3-D cakes that they have made against a shrub backdrop. The furniture that they have is pretty eclectic; we sat at the regular table and it had some funky chairs. I found service to be great; staff were also very friendly. I didn't get a chance to try their cakes, but I can comment on their other baked treats.
Ruffles Square: It's a Rice Krispies square, but with Ruffles chips instead. How cool is this? The salty chips mixed with sweet marshmallow is an amazing combination. I need to recreate this at home.
Bourbon S'mores Bar: A s'mores bar with a twist! The bourbon flavoured coating on the marshmallow definitely added to this square. It's quite rich in flavour so you can certainly share it with someone else.
College and Ossington isn't my usual stomping ground so I'm not sure when I'll be back, but I really enjoyed my afternoon snack break at the Bake Shoppe. Can't wait to have the Ruffles Square and Bourbon S'mores Bar again !!
Good for: baked goods, cakes, coffee/espresso
