The Best Greek Bakeries in Toronto

The best Greek bakeries in Toronto are masters of flaky phyllo, spinach-stuffed pies and honey-drenched desserts like loukoumades. While mostly concentrated around Greektown, you'll find some of these longtime fixtures scattered in other neighbourhoods north too.

Here are the best Greek bakeries in Toronto.

5 - Phyllo Cafe

Sitting in the heart of Pape Village, this little cafe is a community staple. You'll often find people inside devouring their ridiculously delicious spanakopita, bougatsa, and the epic Poseidon Cheese Boat.
6 - Athens Pastries

Another Greektown classic, this decades-old bakery on the Danforth is best known for their spanikopita and honey balls dripping in honey. You can sit down to eat here or just grab a box of loukamades in the dozens.
4 - Kostas Bakery

You’ll find rows of sweets like biscotti, coconut cookies, and of course cannolis at this longtime Greek bakery on Ellsemere Road. This family run spot also serves up amazing coffee: you’ll need it after all these pastries.
9 - Select Bakery

This gargantuan bakery on Donlands is part bakery and part grocery store, where you can buy items straight from Greece like Krinos coffee and olive oil. In the bakery section you’ll find various assortments of sweets, savoury pastries, and breads.
11 - Menalon Bakery

St. Clair West has been getting a taste of Greece for over half a century with this longtime bakery. Aside from the fact they make great baklava, Easter bread, and spanakopita, they also import stuff like olives and feta straight from Greece.
3 - Serano Bakery

The foremost spot in Pape Village for huge rolls of housemade bread, the Takas family has been baking up trays upon trays of spanakopita and prasopitas for over 25 years. Their <a href="https://ift.tt/2A0Sxtt> just up the street also has a huge selection of cakes and loukoumades.
7 - Akropolis Pastries

It's an old school spot, which adds to the charm of this Danforth bakery and cafe. Since opening in 1979, this little spot has offered friendly vibes, even when dropping by for a late night snack of galaktobouros and spinach pie. They’ve also got frozen housemade spanakopita you can make at home.
8 - Ballissimo Loukoumades Bar

This destination on Coxwell specializes in one thing only: loukoumades. Their take on this Greek dessert is phenomenal: soft, chewy, and crispy, you can get them with a bunch of toppings like cream cheese and Nutella. Plus they’re vegan.
10 - Athena Bakery

Lovers of Grecian phyllo and honeyed sweets will love this Danforth bakery, which feels like it’s been around forever. They’re well-priced and will satisfy anyone with a sweet tooth craving desserts like eclairs, baklava, and honey balls.
