North Pole Bakery

A very nice place, specially taking with the Owner Lucia, a very sincere and honest person. Me and my friend bought the pizza and a coffee and it was top notch ( from my personal experience as food blogger and as Italian food ambassador) I recommend this bakery , as it’s very hard to find real authentic artisan Italian food (most it’s not Italian as not everyone can cook Italian food) If you go there try everything in store from the bread to the coffee , buy their pasta .. very high quality.. and I’m glad I went there . We need to support more of this Authentic Artisan Italian. Businesses.

Delicious arancini, very good pastries. I'm happy to discover this place. We will definitely come back for those arancini and to try some other things. UPD: We absolutely love their cannoli

North Pole Bakery, located near Greenwood and Danforth, is a local iconic establishment. Anyone who's lived in the area will know North Pole Bakery. Like an iconic classic that it is, their discerning customer will be someone with an acquired taste for nostalgia because it doesn't have any shiny modern bells and whistles. It's family run and you go there for cozy, remind me of my Italian Nonna who's going to feed me with heaps of food, kind of vibe. I've seen people go in to grab their pizza, focaccia, pasta meals, and they all leave happy and grinning. They also have an assortment of breads and baked treats. Mixed reviews on the baked treats (some find them too dry, others love them, they're not for me and I'll leave that up to you to decide). One thing that everyone seems to agree on is their cannoli (see images provided here). The exterior cannoli shell is crispy and crunchy. The ricotta filing has just the right hint of sweetness with a dusting of icing sugar to finish them off. The ones I picked up on this occasion seemed a bit more golden than I'm used to but they were still delicious. Time moves differently at North Pole Bakery. I've seen regulars who go in just to have a chat with the owners and share a cappuccino while others seek this place out for the must-have Italian dinner.

Great Cannoli, service and atmosphere. We'll be back! We went to get cannoli our grandfathers celebration of life...we heard it was the best cannoli in Toronto. When we got there they were super friendly. Told us to be the judge if it's the best. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Got extra and not a bite was left.

Sorry to say, but we are very disappointed, we picked up a box of mix cookies for our Family Day celebration. The quality was of a very dry hard cookie, not at all the moist delicious cookie I would usually get. I spent $37 and could not even put the cookies out for family to eat, I was embarrassed to serve them. Will not be returning.

Great local bakery offering authentic Italian baked goods and products. The owner, Lucia, is wonderful for a chat and always happy to help. We are so lucky to have this store in the neighbourhood.

My family has been coming since I was a kid and has some of the best Arancini. Good size, tasty, and great price. Awesome for a drop-in snack and even more on the menu.

I think about their Arancinis once a day they are so delicious and HUGE! Can't wait to visit and try their other goods. The owner is lovely 🌟
