Sweet Bliss Baking Company

Great yummy items but horrible hours.

Super cute and friendly bakery. Literally around the corner from where I live, which has been kind of deadly :)
favourite goodies: cupcakes, apple scone, gingerbread cookies, lemon squares and their whoopie pies (haven’t seen them in quite awhile. hope they’re coming back)
they also served good lattes and americanos
the couple who own it are super friendly. they make each visit enjoyable.

This is a small bakery. They do not have any seat, but there is a counter to have a cup of coffee. I went there more than once. First time I went there, I was very impressed with their vanilla cup cake. Second time, I had a coconuts cup cake and a cup of coffee. Their coffee was excellent and their cup cakes are the best I have ever tried in Toronto.

Sweetbliss is by far my favorite place to go on weekends. They make the most delicious coffees (I love the latte). I also think they make the best cupcakes in the city. But you don’t have to just be into cupcakes to enjoy this place, they have have a lot of other tasty treats to choose from. Prices are great, especially for their coffees — Only $ 3 for a large latte. You wont find prices like that at Starbucks. The couple who runs the place are also super sweet. This combination of things will always get my support.

This is my favourite bakery in the city and it is way too close to my house. It is not a fancy cake shop (i.e. they don’t do decorated cakes or french-​style pastries), but does more of the things you wish you could execute half as well in your kitchen at home. The cupcakes are all incredible, better than Bobbette & Belle and far superior to Prairie Girl. The buttercream is creamy and smooth rather than being overly sugary and oily. The double chocolate cookies are delish, as are the loaf-​style cakes (the lemon poppy seed and carrot cakes are particularly memorable). Everything is made with organic flour, and the seasonal fruit (usually in the scones) is often organic as well. I adore their cinnamon buns, but it’s worth noting that the buns are not the overly sticky-​sweet kind. These are light and bready/​cakey with a lot of cinnamon, but not a lot of the sugar syrup that some people enjoy. They’re also not iced, which is perfect in my books, but isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. The owners are super friendly people, and they make up a nice cup of well-​priced coffee to go with your sweets. Do try, and enjoy!

A good find in this area. This place has its work cut out for it as Bobbette is almost across the street. I am not a fan of Bobbette so will try another spot in this area if I can. They advertise most of the items as organic and it shows in the products. On the spot I tried a cup cake with lemon curd. As the take away wild blue berry scone. Cinnamon roll and dessert called blonde (bread with caramel). Scone was really good. other two items were OK with the caramel item being overly sweet (what else does one expect from caramel)
I will be back again to try the shortbread and other desserts.

My fiancé and I discovered Sweet Bliss back when designer cupcakes were all the rage. I was on a mission to find the perfect cupcake.
Sweet Bliss is owned by a lovely couple. Their little bakery is adorned with rustic decoration that is reminiscent of a cozy little cottage. You can pick up Mennonite made pickles and jams, coffee beans, amongst a few other goodies.
I’ve tried a number of their cupcakes and they’re all delicious. Chocolate with chocolate buttercream icing, vanilla with coconut buttercream frosting, lemon… Every cupcake I’ve had here has always been deliciously moist and dense. You can taste the butter in the buttercream, so you know it’s good. My favourite cupcake by far is their red velvet with cream cheese icing. Possibly the best cupcake I’ve ever had in my life. Ever.
I’ve also had their blueberry pie, scones, spinach pie, and butter tart. All are amazing as well. Their spinach pie is stuffed with spinach and oh so flaky. All their pastries are made with organic flour.
My fiancé says that Sweet Bliss also makes the best lattes in the city. All he talks about in the mornings is how he can’t wait for his Sweet Bliss latte. They remember exactly how he likes his latte every time he comes in, which is a nice touch.
We’ve gotten to know the couple who owns Sweet Bliss over the years and they are so… sweet! Needless to say, my search for the perfect cupcake stopped when I sunk my teeth into their cupcakes.
Fun fact: my fiancé designed their website and business card :)

I’m conflicted about this place. I do really love their butter tart squares, and they seem like nice enough people, but everything else I’ve had has just been okay. Made a special trip just for the famous cinnamon buns, which I have to say we’re very disappointing. The dough itself was good, but it was almost like there was no filling. Maybe we just got an off batch. Wouldn’t make a special trip, but if I happened to be walking past I might be tempted by a cappuccino and a square.

This place is the best. I go in here way too often because everything they make is amazing. The brownies and scones are my favourite.
Literally, everything they make is freshly baked and delicious.
They always have seasonal fruit in their treats which makes them even more appealing. Their use of organic ingredients is also a plus.
Most of all the owners are great people, so laid back and friendly. I don’t think you could find a more complete bakery for sweets in the city.
Truly top notch!

The store was really dark and I was wondering if it was even opened! It was somewhat close to closing time so the highly praised salted caramel cupcake was sold out. The owner (i think?) was very kind and gave me a discount for my red velvet cupcake. It was delicious, but the cupcake has a lot of food coloring.

YUM YUM YUM!
I always find goodies here. They’re not typically things I’d be attracted to (sweet & doughy type-​things) but they’re always so good.
Expect to find a traditional mix of baked goods.
Think: cinnamon buns, danish’s, cookies, tarts, pieces of pie, shortcake cookies. or you can head to the fridge, and pick out a cupcake. I’m NOT a cupcake fan, but these, my friend, are kinda amazing.
It’s a low key bakery, and they let you look and pick with ease. Gotta love these small town feeling places … not pretentious and not packed of people.

Oh, that salted caramel cupcake. I had half of one a week ago and I’m still thinking about it – a friend brought an assortment of Sweet Bliss cupcakes on a cottage trip we took recently, but she only picked up two of the salted caramel (the horror!). The chocolate and red velvet cupcakes she brought were great, of course, but they couldn’t compare to that pillow of vanilla buttercream cupping a generous drizzle of caramel sauce (some of it spilled in transit, and we ended up scraping the caramel off the inside of the box with our fingers because we couldn’t let it go to waste).
Sooooo pretty much what I’m saying is that this cupcake is a thing of beauty and delight and you should go have one now.

I personally think these are the BEST cupcakes! Love love love the carrot cake and lemon one (okay, and the chocolate, vanilla, etc). The other bakes goods are wonderful as well. The cookies! SO GOOD!
I love the store — perfect place to pick up my Mennonite beets and honey!
Plus the service is so nice. I believe I meet the owner the most and he is so nice and happy to have you in his store. He won me over when he popped in an extra cupcake for free :) Coffee is great and cheap, service with a smile, and a yummy cupcake. Perfect!

There is warmy cozy thingy going in the place.
Friendly staff…
They satisfy my cupcake cravings.

This is now my go-​to bakery in the neighbourhood. When I was pregnant last summer my Sunday morning routine would be to walk down to Yoga Mamas for a prenatal class then to hop over to Sweet Bliss for a $ 2 cappuccino and a scone (made with organic flour and in delicious flavours like cherry and wild blueberry).
Each weekend I go now it seems to be busier and busier. Be warned that the scones and the weekend cinnamon buns sell out FAST, so if you show up in the afternoon looking for some, you may be disappointed.
The staff are awesome and have never batted an eye when I pulled out a debit card to pay for a small purchase. Where else in the neighbourhood can you get $ 2 cappuccinos, lattes, etc.
To the reviewer complaining about the hours, they are open most days (even Sundays!) though they were closed for a brief period for renovations.

Sweet bliss? What an aptly named shop, because that’s what these cupcakes are: sweet, sweet bliss.
I wandered by here one day strolling the streets of Queen East and boy, I am soooo so glad I decided to pop on in. While Sweet Bliss is quite small, it is packed full of delicious, sugary goodness. There is a wall of honey and preserves if you’re looking to buy anything like that, but up front is where the stars of the shop are: the cupcakes!
Being super indecisive about what I wanted to try I decided to go with old faithful: Red Velvet. A simple cupcake but a good way to judge the quality of the shop. Wow. I was NOT disappointed. A sizable cupcake with a good amount of frosting. The cupcake was the most moist and delicious cupcake I have ever had the pleasure of consuming. The frosting was delicious and that perfect balance of being sweet but not TOO sweet. Sometimes I’m a bit weary of buying cupcakes near the end of the day because the cake gets dry and they aren’t as fresh, but these were soooo moist it was like they were just baked on the spot seconds ago. My boyfriend even raved about them and he is picky as picky gets. I feel like these are the type of cupcakes where you could get a dozen and not worry about them getting too stale before you have a chance to eat them all.
I also had a butter tart square which was good, but I felt like it needed more butter tart filling and less tart. Regardless, it was good. It didn’t blow my mind like the cupcake did, though!
Note: no seating on the inside, so you’ll have to take your sweets to go.
Overall, a solid 4.5÷5. I can’t wait to come back and devour more cupcakes. For me, they have set the bar for any other cupcake I will ever eat. They also had ridiculously delicious and fluffy looking whoopee pies with marshmallow buttercream — excited to try those, too!

I have been searching for a great cinnamon bun and based on the reviews here on Unilocal,I thought I would give Sweet Bliss a try since I don’t like Cinnabon and others that use that thick gloopy white icing.
Sadly, this was not the cinnamon bun I was searching for, mainly because it was waaaaaay too much bread and too little cinnamon. Also, I don’t need my cinnamon bun to be too sweet, but this cinnamon bun was not sweet at all mainly because it was so bread like and not nearly enough caramelized cinnamon sugar on the bottom and hardly any swirled inside.
We also tried the raspberry cheese bun — same problem, all bread, very little raspberry and cheese.
The lemon square was surprisingly not that lemony. The butter tart square had a tasty topping but the crust was once again, doughy.
Peanut butter cookies lacked peanut butter flavour.
I did not try the cupcakes because I don’t like the kind with the super sweet icings.
Doubt that I will be back. And my search for the perfect cinnamon bun continues…

In the friendly neighbourhood of Leslieville, sweets and treats are a big deal and Sweet Bliss has exceeded my mark of expectations.
The cupcakes are extremely moist and flavourful and decadently rich. The variety is sitting at a good point, although truthfully I find it to be a bit limited.
The staff are also friendly; I walked in and was greeted with a warm welcome, and as I was about to pay I was offered a free cupcake as it was near closing time. That brings me to another point: the products are clearly made daily — seems a given but it’s always nice to have some validation.
Sweet Bliss Baking Company is a great local bakery and I will certainly be returning for more of their tasty treats.

Why do I have to make decisions all the time?!
What flavours? My head started spinning when the nice lady start going over all the flavours of cupcakes at Sweet Bliss with me… I almost want her to repeat their offerings again…
So now down to the question of what if I only picked one, which one would that be…
Red Velvet Cupcake ($ 2.50) was recommended to be as the one to have… Yes it was good… moist… soft…fluffy…and sizable… and I went Mmmmmm with frosting all over my face!
Now I am in sugar coma…

T’was a fine Saturday afternoon and I decided to head downtown to satisfy my sudden craving for sweets. who am I kidding? I –always– have a craving for sweets. I had read rave reviews about their cinnamon buns, so I decided to go for it. And somehow… a carrot cake and blondie bar snuck into my box of goodies…
Suprisingly, the carrot cupcake was dry and the icing didn’t have enough of a cream cheese taste, which was prettty dissapointing since carrot I tried it before. BUT fear not, I was saved by the other two.
While I was down there, I ordered a cinnamon bun, blondie bar and a carrot cupcake. Man, the cinnamon bun had just enough sweetness! I’m not gonna lie, when I first looked at their buns, I was hesitant because it had no icing sugar on it… but man, the brown sugary coating on top was perfect! It paired well with the latte I was drinking later.
As for the blondie bar… goddamn. This stuff is CAPITAL A-​mazing. The perfectly golden brown bed of toasted marshmellows and chocolate chips coating the chewy brownie bar was to die for. I went back on Sunday for another. I’M A FATASS, SO WHAT?! But man, trust me, they are really good. By far, it’s my favorite brownie bar. No, in fact, I’d say their blondie bar is my favorite thing from this bakery! Go try it. Now.
