Best French Bakery in Vaughan

"A hot day staple on Ossington, Bang Bang Ice Cream & Bakery offers customers excellent ice cream sandwiches. Whether you prefer your ice cream inside a sammie, a choux, or a bubble-waffle cone, you won’t be disappointed at this small-but-mighty shop that has both gluten free and vegan options for those interested. Even though this sweet spot “officially” closes at 10:00 p.m., don’t be surprised to find it still serving customers well past closing during the summer months!"

"You’ll likely have to wait in a line out the door to get a taste of Bang Bang Ice Cream – but it will certainly be worth it. The sweet shop is home to the original Toronto ice cream sandwich, often featuring standout flavors such as burnt toffee, orange cardamom and halva. It also offers vegan and dairy-free options so that everyone can leave feeling a little bit sweeter."

"Bang Bang is perfect for satisfying an ice cream sandwich craving. There are countless combinations of flavors from cookie type, including Birthday, Oatmeal and RoCocoa, and ice cream flavors, including Orange Cardamom, Lemon Meringue, London Fog and Burnt Toffee. Try a full sandwich with two cookies for $7 or a half sandwich with one cookie for $4.50."

"When The Pilot opened its doors in 1944, it was originally dedicated to Canadian WWII pilots fighting overseas. Today, The Pilot continues to embody this spirit, with its large rooftop terrace dubbed the “Flight Deck.” The laid-back atmosphere is indicative of Yorkville and is a great option for some much-needed reprieve from the bustling downtown core. On Saturdays, you’ll be able to catch live jazz from some of Canada’s finest musicians, adding to the historic charm of the establishment."

"The Pilot’s rooftop restaurant patio, appropriately named The Flight Deck, is open from March to December, though we recommend enjoying it in the peak of summer for the full experience. You will have to climb a few flights of stairs to get to the top, but once you get up there, you won’t be disappointed. There are views of the city, plenty of sunshine, and cool aviation-themed décor to take in while eating and drinking to your hearts content."

"A post shared by The Pilot (@thepilot_to) on Sep 21, 2019 at 12:30pm PDT. Climb on up to the flight deck to enjoy this rooftop in Yorkville. The retractable awning makes it practically all-weather, so here, patio season extends to December."

"Located on Yonge Downtown, Dineen Coffee is a remarkable and easily visible store for travelers to pass by for a takeaway brought along their trip as well as the typical place that occurs lots of business discussions made by many local officers. Another special factor that attracts customers is the endless golden light brightening during days or nights. This will also bring you to the 90s feelings with the identical decoration inside and outside the house."

"Dineen Coffee Co. is a stylish, retrofitted, cozy coffee shop just south of the Eaton Centre in a super cool old heritage building that was once a hat and fur manufacturing company. Stay in and check out the renaissance revival decor, or get a cup to go and stroll through Cloud Gardens Conservatory just ½ a block west on Temperance Street."

"Thankfully, there are three Dineen Coffee spots dotted around Toronto, meaning there’s always a spot relatively close by. Personally, my favourite is on Gerrard Street East but there’s another great spot on Yonge Street, too. Prices can be a little higher than other spots, but it’s well worth it if you want some good quality coffee."

"at Steeles, Giorgio D. Ristorante has been in business for 35 years. This is a testament to the authentic and... Had the grilled seafood platter and it was amazing."

"7 No other creature has been monopolized in the name of food as often as the unicorn. Edible odes to the mythical beast have included sparkly cakes, lattes, milkshakes and toast. Taiyaki NYC, a Big Apple–based Japanese dessert chain that’s now in T.O., has doubled up on the creature feature by filling a freshly baked fish-shaped waffle cone with a swirl of sprinkle-coated soft-serve, finishing it off with twee ears and an alicorn (yes, that’s the proper name for the spiralled uni-horn) made of fondant."

"Crosstown Coffee Bar keeps their brews “simple and fresh”, with beans from across the world. You can even order bags to your home to enjoy. Address: 187 Highbourne RoadHours: Tuesday to Friday 7 am to 4 pm, Saturday 8 am to 4 pm, Sunday 8 am to 3 pm, closed Mondays"

"Butter Baker is a Toronto-based French bakery, and they’ve now got a location in Markham!. Find everything from croissants to chiffon cakes – heaven on earth for all of the baked goods. Their soft serve is actually only available from April through October, and the flavours change up every month – some recent flavours include Strawberry Vanilla soft serve and Guava Vanilla soft serve!"

"Known for their banh mi croissant sandwiches, brioche loaves and delectable pastries, Butter Baker also dreams up some amazing soft serve flavours. You can expect flavours like Baker’s Tiramisu, Cassis x Vanilla and Guava x Vanilla. Their distinct cones can be spotted all over Instagram, regardless of the season."

"To start us off, Butter Baker has a rotation of different ice cream flavours that fare beautifully alone, or as a vanilla swirl. Flavours include apricot, lemon poppyseed, and raspberry. Address: 120 Dundas Street WestPhone: 416-971-8686"

"Taking your kids to the historic home of one of Toronto's first architects may seem laughable. Have we met your children?. Gazing at watercolours is hardly a hobby of theirs."

"When the temperatures rise, nothing really beats the heat better than ice cream. And leave it to the insanely Instagrammable Sweet Jesus to satisfy your sweet tooth!. With multiple locations around Toronto (and a few others Canada wide) you’re never far from sinking your teeth into some amazing frozen creations – crazy cones, marvellous milkshakes, perfect pints (to take home) and even creative cakes for that special occasion."

"Having gained fame for its decorative and high-quality ingredients, Sweet Jesus is the staple dessert place for all of your sugar cravings. The cones are pleasing to the eye and Instagram, with soft-serve ice cream rolled in toppings of every color and pastel cotton candy poking out from cups. You’re guaranteed to leave saying, “Sweet Jesus… this is good."

"Eva’s Original Chimneysmixes two of America’s most popular desserts; doughnuts and ice cream. Their specialty, Chimneys, are freshly baked Hungarian pastries with a crunchy outside and a soft inside. Eva’s offers not only a satisfying treat but also a visual experience, as the Chimney Cakes are baked using a traditional-style, open rotisserie grill, just like on the streets of Budapest."

"An Eastern European treat known as Kürtőskalács (Hungarian) or Trdelník (Czech) can now be had in Toronto and better known as Chimneys. Hand-rolled into a cone shape, coated with sugar and cinnamon, filled with real cream soft serve, and topped with more sweet delights, Eva’s does an incredible job at bringing their Hungarian culinary heritage to the city."

"Eva’s Original Chimneys has always been very vegan-friendly. Their chimney cones are naturally vegan, and they have vegan ice cream, too. Many cones are marked as vegan on the menu."

"Do not be fooled – this place serves so much more than just potatoes. In fact, I am pretty sure they don’t even have potatoes on the menu. Known mostly for their gargantuan dessert toast stacks, their dessert menu is extensive."
