This is a bakery in Toronto that more Torontonians should be rushing to. The baking is absolutely phenomenal for the most part but there is one glorious piece of decadence that Hermes Bakery makes with perfection, that is of course kokosh. To look at it, this might not seem like much. It isn't decorated or made fancy like some bakeries wasting time on the appearance over the taste. This is a heavy and rich pastry filled with either chocolate or cinnamon and made to perfection.
I don't want to take away from their other baked goods, which are also amazing, but this is a rarity that I have had a difficult time coming across, and if I ever do I find it hard to imagine it will taste as good as it is made at Hermes.
The one piece of advice that I would give is to call first and make sure they actually have kokosh available. They make it only once or twice a week and also their hours are not as traditional as other businesses. So do yourself a favour and give them a shout before you make the trip.
So go Torontonians! Go forth and get some kokosh. You will not be disappointed.
