Impressive treats! - Edit
It's really hard to believe everything there is not only vegan but also gluten-free. First because of the large number of options, but most importantly because it's all sooo good! The s'mores creamie was not my favorite, but the pumpkin spice cinnamon bun and the carrot cupcake were among the best treats I've ever had. So sweet, creamy, and soft at the same time! Loved them. Only downside is that there is no place to eat there so I took my treats and sat at a nearby park to have them and it was a bit messy. But worth it anyway!

Spectacular treats! - Edit
Fantastic mini cinnamon bun! I wouldn't have known that the cinnamon bun was gluten free if I hadn't bought it myself from the bakery.
Read moreIt was hard to choose what to try as everything looked marvelous 🤩
My partner's favorite was the nanaimo bar. The strawberry bar had a little bit of that corn taste gluten free baked goods sometimes have, but was still pretty good. Overall, really very impressed with Bunner's and would definitely get a cinnamon bun from here again and try some other treats!

Red velvet cupcake and vanilla latte - Edit
Was a bit skeptical because of it being GF but the cupcake was really good! I do wish there was some place I could have sat to eat though.

Go go go - Edit
Bunner's was one of those places I had proudly bookmarked before my trip to Toronto, and I'm so glad I finally got the chance to try it.
Read moreIt actually started as a happy accident. I had gone to get an açaí bowl nearby and noticed Bunner's were offering their mini cinnamon buns as a special. That immediately caught my attention, so I took a look at the rest of the menu and quickly realised I was going to need to try more than one thing!
The standout for me was the Josephine Louise Red Velvet Cream Sandwich. It looked far too good to pass up, so I ordered it for delivery and have absolutely no regrets. Rich, indulgent, and packed with flavour, it was every bit as good as it looked.
It's always exciting discovering independent vegan bakeries while travelling, and Bunner's definitely lived up to the hype. Everything felt thoughtfully made, with plenty of tempting options that made choosing difficult. If you're vegan, dairy-free, or simply love a good baked treat, this is a Toronto spot that's well worth adding to your list.
A delightful find that turned a spontaneous visit into one of my favourite sweet treats of the trip. 🧁✨🌱

Butter tart was a mess but i would give them another chance - Edit
We were in the ares so stopped to pick up a couple of items at Bunners. When we got back to our hotel the filling from the butter tart was so loose it had leaked out into the box which was really disappointing. The cinnamon bun was good and I appreciate that you could get a baby size bun. We would definitely try them again if we are ever in the area.

This cake IS the party! - Edit
I ordered a Bunner’s Funfetti cake to celebrate the 40th birthdays of my elementary school classmates and it was a big hit. It looked fantastic displayed on our table at Scooter’s Roller Palace and it tasted great! The quintessential birthday cake. 👌 You wouldn’t have known that it was vegan and gluten free, but I was so pleased to be able to offer a piece to someone else at Scooter’s with Celiac disease. For that reason, I think it’s a great, inclusive choice for birthday parties. Delivery to East York was super convenient and I also ordered some items off of their Thanksgiving menu that could be stored in the freezer… so, I owe you and update in mid-October. 🍂

Incomplete Review - Edit
Bunner's sits nestled in the eclectic Kensington Market Neighborhood (a must-see). I only had the Nanaimo Bar, but I was a little underwhelmed. The middle layer was creamy, and the chocolate top had a nice firm texture, but the bottom layer fell apart. I understand that gluten-free tends to be drier and less cohesive, but the bar was difficult to eat because almost none of it held together. With all this said, I would try Bunner's again to explore their many other options.

Yummy vegan and gluten-free desserts - Edit
Bunner's Bake Shop in Kensington Market is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious vegan and gluten-free baked goods. They offer a wide variety of treats, from cakes and cookies to bars and other desserts.
Read moreI was particularly keen to try their pies, but unfortunately, they were sold out by the time we arrived. This speaks to their popularity, so I'd recommend arriving early for the best selection.
Despite missing out on the pie, I was still impressed with the other options available. I especially enjoyed their date squares, which were both sweet and chewy.
Pros: Catering to dietary restrictions, Convenient location, Variety of options
Cons: Some desserts get sold out

Amazing treats and great service! - Edit
I stumbled upon this place on my way to dinner with coworkers and thank goodness I did—it was delicious! Everything is vegan and gluten free and there were so many options: breads, cookies, cupcakes, bars (and probably more things I didn’t see because it was the end of the day). I got a cinnamon roll—very tasty—and a chocolate brownie so good I’ll probably be dreaming about it for the rest of my life. The service was also lovely; the person working offered my colleagues and I day old cinnamon rolls for free. Love that they are reducing food waste and not just throwing things away!

For people craving a sweet - this is the place - Edit
Plenty of public transportation options exist for easy access, and many choices are available. My favorite was the "kind of Oreo" cookie (this is not the actual name, but once you see it, you will understand). It's impressive how they offer classic and elaborately crafted bakery options.

Tasty! - Edit
Chocolate caramel oat bar and whoopie pie were delicious, but the pie stuck really hard on the bottom because only the top layer was covered in chocolate and it fell apart when I tried to eat it. Jalapeño cheese scone tasted weird to me.

Second time trying - yummy! - Edit
I had the Supersonic cookie which is an oat cookie with seeds, chocolate chips, and dried cranberries. I also had a Nanaimo bar. Previously, I’ve tried the chocolate chip cookie, and the soft serve. Everything is yummy, and I wouldn’t know it was gluten free. I was also happy that everything is nut-free so I didn’t have to worry about my husband’s allergen.

Nanaimo Bar - Edit
Everything here is vegan and gluten-free, which is amazing to me. The Nanaimo Bar at Bunner's Bake Shop is the best I've ever had. I couldn't stop saying "yummmm" with every chew. Not even with every bite, every CHEW. It was actually ridiculous. The location is wonderful. The hours are great, open until 7 pm every day.
Read moreService is meh compared to everything else. Also, nothing is labeled, and prices aren't listed anywhere either, so it's a bit of a guessing game

Delicious sweets - Edit
Love their sweets. The brownie and their version of Jos Louis are amazing, highly recommend if you’re a chocolate lover. I’ve also ordered a few birthday cakes from here, they never let me down.
Read moreHowever, the quiche bites and scones are a miss. I couldn’t even force myself to finish them. Also wish they had a menu posted or labelled the goods somehow. A bit ridiculous you need staff to walk you through all the items and flavours to know your options.

Vegan & gluten-free - Edit
Love the maple flavour. I just wish it’s more cinnamony… the cupcake itself was moist and I wouldn’t be able to tell it’s gluten-free if I didn’t know!

The brownie with the custard layer was very good. The blueberry scone was a bit too dry for my taste. It would be nice if they added some seating.

Hit and miss - Edit
This isn’t my favourite place, I find the icing they use is way too sweet and some of the baked goods I’ve had from here were also sickeningly sweet or dry. I also had the weirdest customer service experience of my life here (former Junction location) when a cake I ordered was given to someone else and the interactions with the staff about it were…strange. But I direct every person I know with celiac to this place and they are so happy with it, they really fill a need for people with gluten intolerances (vegan or not). And I love their cookies!
Read morePros: They’ve nailed gluten free cookies, Celiac friendly for all my celiac friends, Really allergy conscious
Cons: Too much icing/too sweet, Customer service is hit and miss
