East Village Bakery is an artisan bakery specializing in artisan bread, pies and french pastries. I honestly thought it was just an asian bakery, but when M and stepped inside, we were just amazed by the amount of little ornate treats. Everything looked very fresh and the smell inside was just amazing.
They had a lot of delectable treats available! I’m sure you can come in to find lots of inspiration too if you love to bake.
They all looked picture perfect! From the scones to the gingersnap cookies. Pretty good prices too.
Palmiers AKA Butterfly Cookies are nice and crunchy with good layering. Not too buttery.
Doesn’t that look so delicious. It is one of my favorite cookies as a kid.
White chocolate blueberry scone ($2.35) was a really good scone. It was different that the usual scones since it was not very hard and was quite delicate. I wasn’t originally going to purchase this, but the owner suggested it. Good decision indeed.
Spinach Cheddar Scone ($2.35) is for the people who love savory baked goods. It wasn’t very flavourful, but it does taste better with some tea or coffee. The inside texture was quite light and fluffy similar to the other scone.
Sour Cherry Chocolate Truffle Tart (2 for $3.50) was surprisingly really good. Good balance between the sour cherry and the chocolate.
Callebaut Chocolate Banana Cake with Marzipan ($2.95) was good, the inside had a really cool texture and had some chewy bits inside. M liked it a lot.
Ginger Crackle Cookies ($1.95) was not that good since it was really tough and hard to eat. M likes his ginger cookies a bit softer and sweeter.
Overall, it’s a good place to grab a few treats and bring them back home.

I check out EastVillage every so often and my fave’s are their cakes. I usually get whatever they recommend (which I often don’t do) because I’m always satisfied with what I get.
Melike their cinnamon buns too 🙂
