Reviews of Sweet Gallery Exclusive Pastry (Bakery)

Marcin Kiersnowski

Sweet Gallery offers delicious European style cakes and pastries. I have ate many of their cakes, pastries, soups and sandwiches and all are made of high quality. The soups and sandwiches are hearty. We are neighbours so, when my staff and I get a “sweet craving” one of us goes into the Sweet Gallery “cookie jar” and gets something for everyone. All my staff loves the pastries at Sweet Gallery. When I have new staff, I always walk them over and introduce them. Angie and Gord, the owners are super nice and friendly. All the staff is attentive and sweet. They always remember to put a fork into the bag for the cakes!!!!!!

Classic, old-school pastry shop that, year after year, has been selling tasty cake slices and sweets. -- "Mimi's Cake Tour"

Karen Murkovic

Amazing cakes!! Great service, good coffee

Gabe P

Great European Bakery for those that like the traditional pastries! Lots of room for a sit down coffee and treat! Delicious goodies!

Benjamin Nagy

Relaxed eastern European bakery and coffee shop.

Laureen Lightfoot-James

Best cookies ever!

Allison Rietta

I have been a customer for over 20 years, and I still haven’t found anyone that does European-style cakes and pastries better than this wonderful family-run and -owned shop. Open soon!! I have a ton of birthday cakes to order. Peace in these difficult and challenging times. Stay safe. ????????????

The desserts here are spectacular, everything looks good and taste good! Very Authentic!

Passed this place many times leaving the Kipling Station parking lot and thought it was a candy factory. When I noticed all the cars in the parking lot one Saturday I popped in to have a look and realized it is a bakery. While looking around a customer told me it was a great place to have lunch. My wife and I were looking for a dessert to take to a birthday party so we popped in and then decided to have lunch. Found out that they have table service and a lunch menu so we took a seat and ordered the goulash soup and a ham and cheese sandwich. It came on a fresh baked buttery croissant. The soup was full of beef and potatoes. Someone else came in and ordered the goulash and a slice of bread. A repeat customer I suspect because he understood how filling the soup was. Despite being stuffed, I could not resist ordering the Austrian Apple strudel. Delicious. They have a large selection of cakes and a wonderous selection of cookies to choose from. I will definitely have to return to try some of these. Service was excellent and very friendly. Cozy place to have lunch and obviously a popular bakery from the volume of customers who came in and out while we sat there for lunch. Popular place considering it seems to be in a industrial part of time. No longer a mystery to me and I will be returning.

Alex Keselman

Great atmosphere and decor! Excellent strudel.

Max Mahone

The lady mostly that serves is a little rude and moody, but the other staff food and environment absolutely amazing.

Maya B. Pavlov

Highly recommend!

Emilia Antunes

Best coffee and european pastry place in Toronto! Kind people!

Marko Saban

Sweet Gallery is a unique place in the West Toronto. It is a cafe, restaurant and sweets shop all in once. You can come for a coffee, breakfast or lunch, or you can come to shop for dessert for your home or office party. Or, if you really want to go big, you can order your wedding cake and celebrate in style.

Niki Tsavalia

Fresh quality products !

Claudia McLean

Love the variety of European cakes and pastries!

paloma samanta moreno jaen

The place is beautiful! And the staff very helpful and courteous.

Martin Mounir

Very high quality Pastry Shop, run by a group of fantastic, always smiling ladies. If you want high quality, authentic pastries (a lot of them uniquely European) with quality ingredients, use of sugar with moderation and a good assortment (not too much stuff but not too many either), this is your place. Cakes are usually offered in two sizes and they can custom do about anything. I love this place for ordering a big cake or just grabbing a couple of pastries with a coffee. No internet here! so you won't be bothered by a bunch of students if you choose to enjoy the goodies in-house.

Genevieve Anderson

Great pastries and cakes but lacklustre service (V the server, helped herself to salad and bread and ate 3 different things during service!) and your microwaved quiche nearly ruined my visit. Please use an oven to reheat your lunch items-- you're destroying perfectly good quiche and burek.

Rejané Claasen

I usually hold back on writing bad reviews, but the service that I received at this establishment was so demeaning that it deserved a follow-up. It was my first time visiting Sweet Gallery, so I called ahead of time to make sure that they were open. My call was fielded by a delightful bloke named Gord. When I finally arrived at the store, I took less than a minute to decide which delightful treats to take home. A woman named Angie served me. She was vexed because I didn't order right away. She muttered something under her breath that even made her two assistants embarrassed to be there. I spent a total of $40 on that transaction, and in retrospect, I should have cancelled the order and left. But the cashier, Danielle, handled the incident well. Thanks for that, Danielle. Sadly, I won't be a returning customer.

Tom Tischler

A true gem. My mom says you won't find a better sachertorte in all of Vienna - and that says a lot!

Irene 72

I had loved Sweet Gallery for the last 30 years - making sure we ordered cakes from this shop for most of our special occasions. I am disappointed, but clearly Sweet Gallery isn't, that isn't the case anymore. Apparently their World Class Pastry Chef, trained in Austria, calls a torte with walnut buttercream and regular chocolate cake a Sacher Torte. As an Austrian I find that ignorantly offensive - a proper Sacher Torte is a chocolate cake with Apricot jam. I spent $99 on 2 cakes and they did not meet up to their regular quality. Laughable that a trained pastry chef does not know what a Sacher Torte is. I will be patronizing Stubbe's from now on - a trained pastry chef who clearly understands that a Sacher Torte is a Sacher torte and not a creation of an inflated ego. Rant over!!

Rachel Carnova

We ordered a Black Forest cake for my sisters birthday. The sponge and the cream were very dry, and the cake overall tasted stale. As well when we cut into the cake it was frozen. It was our first time ordering here and definitely our last.

WoaIts Bren

Amazing place, people were really kind and the cake looks and tastes amazing! 100% recommend

Dave Degrassi

My favourite

Iva Pelaic

Hands down this is the best place for homemade sweet European desserts. Superb. Retro decor but simply awesome

Agnes Zak

Amazing place for European deserts. Strawberry cheesecake, Walnut torte, ishlers, cookies, pishinger, opera slices. I have been getting their cakes for over 20 years, the quality is always exceptional, the service is great. Too bad they moved from Bloor/ Jane to Bering, but the drive is still worth it!

Jeannine Pharand-Theyer

great pastries

Updated review in response to the owner feedback: If you had taken the time to read my profile you would understand that I use an alias instead of my real name. We were a walkin customer at the time of the purchase; therefore, you would not have found our real names in your order list either. The way you mock a customer, while you are the establishment that provided the bad service and subpar product is befuddling. Regardless of everything trying to reply a review that was posted 4 months ago is a "beacon of customer care" that should be "replicated" by all store owners who wish to go bankrupt asap. After your demeaning reply I would rather eat a candy bar than eat a desert at your establishment. We trusted the positive reviews; however, I was appalled by the service and the quality of deserts in this establishment. I bought a black forest cake to take it to a dinner party. When we started eating the cake, we realized that the cake was halfway frozen. We were not told the cake was frozen. People were not able to eat it. Very unfortunate.

Turkish background people would love it. Excellent "borek", "baklava". Healthy food. Try the tarts.

Lindsay Fisher

Delicious! A hidden gem.

Gabriel Lustre

My family and I have been coming here for years, and no pastry shop compares to their incredible sweets!!! Their rum balls in particular are to 'die for'! For a lighter option, they have fantastic bureks and salads.We highly recommend Sweet Gallery for your sweet tooth!

Paulo Moreira

The best pastry place in town, but if you want cheap go walmart

Anita M

Best place to satisfy that sweet tooth

Emily Dimytosh

We got our wedding cake from Sweet Gallery and our guests raved about how delicious it was. We had many family and friends ask to take a piece home with them! When my family lived in Toronto, we would always get Sweet Gallery cakes for special occasions, so we were absolutely thrilled to continue that tradition at our wedding. The smaller cake you did for our cake cutting was gorgeous with the polka dots. We almost didn't want to cut into it! Thank you for making our big day so special!

Got the Dobos Tort and it was good

Elizabeth Sajfert

Had Reform cake yesterday. Must go back for more tomorrow!! I miss European cakes. Thank you Sweet Gallery for making the most delicious cakes in TO

Nic Nac

My fiancé and I Went for a "wedding cake tasting", very excited, booked an appointment a week prior to this day. Not only did we not get greeted in a friendly manner but they messed up our time for the appointment and thought it was for 3. 30 mins later we finally got served (STILL FROZEN) coffee cake, toffee cake and wafer cake.......:NOT WEDDING CAKE SAMPLES. Charged 25 dollars plus tax even tho most places do free cake tastings now. We had a few bites of the slices of cake, and didn't enjoy ANY. We expressed our feelings in a kind manner and they still wanted us to pay the full amount of 25 dollars. When we kindly told them that we did not find a need to pay for a few bites of cake and the rest we left completely untouched. Very disappointed with this place . Don't wish this experience to anybody! As we left we had all staff shaking their heads. Not even worth one star in my opinion.

Laura Cioci

Excellent pastries and cake!! European sweets at it's best!! Love this place. Amazing customer service.

Brian Oliver

A great pastry shop that has been in Etobicoke for a long time. All desserts are amazing, if a little overpriced

R. B.

Good European desserts by the slice or to order whole cakes. Coffee is good & so is the service. No evening hrs due to industrial area.????

Nadia Hosseinzadeh

Great place. All fresh ingredients. Have been ordering cakes here since my first birthday. Cute inside decor.

Cakes out of this world! Fresh, delicious with every fork full. You will never be disappointed. Good coffee, & service.

JOHN EMINGER

Fantastic baked goods. Cakes are top notch, cookies are amazing and the people serving you are super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. All COVID-19 precautions are being taken. I would definitely recommend this place for your baked goods.

Patricia Silva

Cute cafe, friendly environment but definitely overpriced all the pasteries looked the same.

Suzanne Bielak

This hidden former"gem"" tucked away in an industrial area is now under new management. Hence the term "former". There is an old adage which says if it is not broken do not try to fix it. It is too bad this was not taken into consideration by the new management. I have frequented this establishment for many years as have many of my friends and we have all reached the same conclusion. Aside , from the new menu which has been printed (the cost I am sure absorbed by the hefty increase for various items), there seems to be a sadness hanging over the former staff---no longer the smiling faces and laughter . The best I can now say about this restaurant is the server Violet and hard working Zoriza behind the counter who still try their best to please the customers. The increase in price though is not warranted in this area and sadly I feel will lead many of the regular customers (especially the seniors)to more pleasant and reasonable alternatives.What a shame……………………..

Jeff Freeborough

Awesome place great friendly service

VITALIY

Excellent, all natural, nothing artificial !!!

Christine Murphy

Oh wow! Best treat I have had in a long time!!

margaret maitland

Good food and pleasant surrounding

b-axl houe

Their cakes are delicious & the staff is so friendly ! I have worked with them for my valentine’s day treats, birthday cakes, and even my wedding cake. Always great service & amazing taste. Strongly recommend.

Personally Me

Amazing desserts, consistently. The ladies there are always sweet and accommodating.

Rumen Avramov

Very nice place, very cozy! Cakes are delicious - much, much better than the typical North American cakes. The only critique I have is that they didn't have many cakes available by the piece.

Erik Maddox

The pastries are very tasty, however the customer service was rude. Not even a "hi, how are you?" Or a "thank you, please come again." Very short and cold with customers.

Carole Besharah

Great food. Lovely little spot.

B Saini

A nice small coffee/tea house selling a bunch of sweet and savory dishes. They also have a patio.

Scott Boynton

Went there with my family for breakfast and the service was horrible. Our server was cleaning the floor with her hand and then handling our plates serving our table. My daughters ordered fruit juice and they never came to the table. The server never even asked for my order and we wanted tea and additional orders but the server was busy cleaning the floor with her hands.

Craig Fenwick

We were very disappointed with our wedding cake, it looked like a child made it and it tasted incredibly stale. Would not recommend

micheyp0o

The food isn't the greatest, and pretty expensive for such low quality of food... but what made the experience worse was the service! The lady who was serving was very rude to us. When we we're ordering food on the menu, she was like "WE DON'T HAVE THAT DISH YET" in a very rude tone, and there was like 3 things we picked that was apparently not on the menu anymore... (if you're going to have things not on the menu, maybe you should let your customers know instead of giving us attitude). Also, whenever we asked for water, fork or napkins, she was extremely rude and gave us attitude. IF YOUR FOOD DOESN'T TASTE GOOD AT LEAST HAVE SOME DECENT SERVICE SKILLS!

garrett marinacci

Great food

Nelson Coelho

On the search for Linzer Cookies, only place I found in the city. Great thing I did, they were great! Highly recommend a visit.

Andrei Damyanovich

Rude, extremely unpleasant current owner, no sense of customer service. Very unfortunate downward turn for what used to be a first-class, European pastry shop. Great pity the frirndly, kind previous owner passed away!

Stephen K

Thank you so much for creating the wedding cake of our dreams!

M.Hakim Hamidi

Sweet Gallery Exclusive Pastry . Very disappointed. We ordered our wedding Cake from them . it was not the same Cake they give us on the trying day. on top of that the decoration was not the same color as we have told to be ( Gold and White) but instead it was white and Orange . The pearls was not eatable and it was hard plastic believe from $Dollar Store. The lady who claim to be the owner was the rudest person i have ever met in my life . charged me over $ 800 . watch for the game she plays WISH THERE WAS A -5 START RATING HIGHLY NOT RECOMMEND

Ashley Yamamoto

Been coming to this place since I was small, and would get excited whenever birthdays came around because we always got a cake from here! Now moved away from Ontario so I can't have the cakes and pastries anymore. : (

Armen Martirossian

Lovely people who own and run the place. Great European cakes. Nice cafe for lunch.

Brenda Mah-Madjar

Jessica Gamboa

So fresh

Rock NRoll

Location is horrible..in industrial area....my first time at this location..came with friends. Atmosphere is quite... appears to attract a much older crowd... Waitress was friendly n helpful. Dessert was average...not what I expected. I'm very familiar with these Eastern European desserts.. My friends were not pleased with the food..n when the owner came by.. she seemed somewhat defensive on how they prepare their food n have been doing it for 45 years the same way..LoL Maybe it's time to change... My friends left unsatisfied..we paid the bill n left..never to return... Overall I would not recommend this place..but if you want to dare buying a cake...it may be good...bon chance

Granville Manor

5+++++ Amazing European bakery! Cakes are like art! Must try.... Grateful for their reliable service and amazing cakes.

Kevser Uzun

(Translated) Lovely place???? (Original) Sevimli bir mekan????

Nadiyka Valenyuk

Omg Their sweets are my favorite indulgence. I am afraid to think what I would do for their apricot rugelach. Or a slice of hazelnut cake. Or dovbush cake. Anything there tastes like a heaven in mouth for pastry lover.

Dubravko Grusecki

Excellent pastry and cookies. You want to spend a moment in Vienna then go to the Sweet Gallery!

Joe Ventura

Great sweets.. and even better service.. love this place!!

Jacqueline G

Have been customers for over 30 years, you cannot beat the quality of their tortes and pastries. Opera is a must try!

Patricia Carson

Love the atmosphere feels like a little cafe in europe.

Brani Sulek

One of the best European experiences in town.

Donna Brunt

I highly recommend Sweet Gallery for any Cakes, Our Company orders from Sweet Gallery and all of our employees recommend them. There slab cakes are truly amazing and I don't even request a certain flavor because we just love every cake delivered to us.

Aleksandar Masnikosa

Best cookies my wife and I tried in Toronto

Wayne Lawson

Love this place good tasty home made food

Q Jay

Great spot for tea.Excellent choices. Courteous service.

sahar ahmad

The best strawberry shortcake and almond pretzels ever!! Nothing can ever top the quality of this cafe

Cindy

Got birthday cakes every year from this location. Always on time, taste good. ????????

Season M

This is honestly one of the best around in the sweet treat department! I have had the privilege of having their creations on more than one occasion... they even took it a step further when I was deployed back in 2004 and sent them to me and my soldiers. Now that is special! They were super yummy which says a lot considering it probably took a month for the package to get there back then! Look no further to cater to that sweet tooth!

Ahmed L.

Classic coffee shop

Mike Markovich

Exceptional customer service and delicious cakes and dessert. Top quality ingredients used for making there cakes. Will definitely be returning and definitely will be recommending.

Christine Minor

This was our second visit to Toronto, but our first experience visiting Sweet Gallery. The sweets were so delicious on Thursday evening that we came back Saturday for lunch. I had a delicious croissant and soup, and my boyfriend loved his smoked salmon bagel and salad. The hot chocolate was huge and rich. Other members of our party were as pleased as we were. I took home sweets and adorable easter chocolates for the grandchildren 's easter baskets. The staff was very friendly. I would highly recommend this place!

Peter Gaibisels

Excellent cake, meals, presentation, and service.

Angelika Valencia

Swiss chocolate cake was delicious. I haven't been disappointed yet.

Dan Popa

Ho ho ho Definitely I'm not Santa but here's what I have to say about this place. It is one of the few elite , I may say , places in GTA where whatever sweet you are hungry for is made with a bit of heaven incorporated in it. On my opinion is bakery at its superlative best. I don't know how they do it what they do what they use but is by miles one of the best places in bakery. Their sour cherry strudel i have no words to describe. Really go there and try I love them.

Giacomo Amorini

One of the best bakeries in Ontario! Beautiful, not overpriced cakes, always fresh, always delicious. Good service!

Martha A (Skye86)

Great place a little tucked away but hidden treasure none the less! Treats are amazing and sooo fresh they are all hand made no preservatives added which is rare to fine now but definitely recommended place to see and try out!

Michael Stapley

Had a very good selection of good pastries

C Lam

This is a sequel to the original review bel9w: We had part of the black forest cake left over. Over two following days, the cake tasted vastly better. Rich tasting dairy and moist, soft sponge. We would buy from Sweet Gallery again. Apparently we were given a cake that was requested by customer to be frozen for consumption later on. We ate it the same afternoon so it did not get a chance to defrost. ***** Picked up for lunch a pre-ordered black forest cake, which turned to be a let down. The cherry In the cake is still frozen. The cake sponge is dry, without any hint of the kirsh as described on the website. Overall it is very disappointing and forgettable purchase.

Anfisa Y

Cozy and good pastry
