Reviews of Eat My Shortbread (Bakery)

Jean-Paul Hernandez

The best shortbread I've ever had was in Scotland last year. However, the best shortbread I've ever had on this side of the pond belongs to Eat My Shortbread hands down. The Crack sweets are...oh my - just heaven. Points that they also offer vegan selections. You will not be disappointed - do yourself a favour and treat yourself today!

I wasn't a shortbread fan until I tried "Eat My Shortbread" and then my mind was changed forever. Great mouth feels. And when I visited their location one of their staff members gave me a compliment that I still cherish. So they will always have a gooey place in my heart. And tummy.

Amy Corkett

Amazing little place. Owners are so kind and the food...my word. Best butter tart I have ever eaten. Do yourself a favour and stop in for a treat.

Donna Rossi

Had your scones from Braggs Farm and they were the best ever. I recieved a beautiful box of your scones along with jam and clotted cream as a gift. It was one of the best gifts I ever received !!!

Michelle Scrimgeour-Brown

The shortbread is to die for! But do yourself a favour and get yourself the French truffle butter tart. It's the best thing I've ever tasted!

nathan manwell

Absolutely amazing products from an amazing staff at this gem of a place. Everything I have tried from butter tarts to scones have exceeded my expectations. Make sure you try one of everything!

“Drooooling” the chocolate chip shortbread cookie was sooooooo goood and moist... I got if from the opening of markets in Pickering town centres grab bag and I will definitely get more in the future

Ella Bates

Delicious, Delicious, Delicious! Trisha clearly is super passionate about amazing quality and her amazing baked goods always leave me wondering when I can next buy some!

Therese Collins

All their food amazing (my partner describes it as "the best food he has ever had," and he doesn't usually have a sweet tooth). You can really tell that everything is made with high quality ingredients, time, and love of baking. This is as close to my Grandma's baking that I have been able to find. I also love the fact that they deliver. I have been self isolating because of covid and wanted to surprise my partner with a special treat because we can't see our family this weekend. Today I received a text saying my order was ready pick up. I had made a mistake and on my end (clicked pick up instead of delivery). I texted and got an immediate reply that it was no problem at all (even though I know that they would be crazy busy on Thanksgiving weekend). This is the type of customer experience that you get when you make the chose to support local business. Kindness, understanding, flexibility and going out of their way as a business to make customers happy. I am so appreciative and impressed. These are not easy qualities to find in a business these days. Long story short, order from this incredible business NOW. You will not be sorry. Happy Thanksgiving!

Stumbled across this bakery on my way back to the shop. Now I do love scones. My ma would bake them on saturdays along with the weekly bread. I've never had quite a bacon cheddar scone like this one, my receipt which was skillfully sent to my phone it said, " Savory Scones" (cheddar bacon scone). First of all, it is quite flavor-full, so savoury, yes; but I was a bit perplexed by it's flavor, just a bit. I know it was made from butter, based, not just on their signs inside, but you could taste it, plus I requested butter and they complied (see below) My feeling was that it's a hybrid scone between a real biscuit and a scone, if that was their goal, then 5/5, but I still can't put my finger on the ingredient, no not chive, something else, or at least it seems like it. My scone cost was $4.80, (eat in my car) no problem it's a bakery. I will visit their location at the shopping center and edit this review is necessary. Till then, this is it. Nice operation.

Eat My Shortbread is buttery homemade heaven. I never actually liked shortbread until I tried Trisha's shortbread rounds. Now I can't stop eating them! As if the shortbread wasn't enough to keep going back, she also has incredible cookies, a wide assortment of scones, brownies, butter tarts, and a little caramel treat called Craic. If you want to try them all I recommend ordering a stash box, where each treat is carefully packaged and shipped to your door. I mean come on, baked goods at your doorstep? What more could a pandemic girl ask for. And of course, Trisha is the kindest human you will ever meet. I've had the pleasure of working with her on a few projects and she is always trying to spread joy and find ways to give back to her community. Why are you still reading this? Go to Eat My Shortbread! Go now!

Amanda Krishnakumar

I went in on a coworker's recommendation and I'm glad I did. The small salad was filling on its own, but luckily I still had a bit of room left for the chicken pesto sandwich. And the shortbread was also great. Very decadent and definitely not something I could eat in one sitting.

Michelle Richards

The best shortbread in town! The "everything but the kitchen sink" cookies are to dye for as well!

Mike Polsky

Eat My Shortbread is an awesome eatery. They have old fashioned and delicious short bread cookies and other sweets. The shortbread cookies are made from butter! They have added other items like Chicken Pot Pie and other lunch items. I love coming here regularly. I would highly recommend them. Their sweets are so delicious!

Brendan O'Hara

This place has my respect and admiration for life. Aside from that, they make the best baked goods you'll ever eat. #lifesaverstashbox #nursesrock #covid-19-Lbs

Honey 2 Bee

The coffee here is amazing and every single other thing I've tried has been fantastic I wish this was a franchise and that there were more locations

Natalie Gilday

I love how the menu at this cafe is made from scratch and constantly evolving to capture the tastes and freshness of each new season. The unique dressing for the Chicken Ceasar Salad at Eat My Shortbread, is the best I've had and the croutons are made fresh in-house...YUUUUUMMM Who needs chips? If you need something sweet, try the lemon tart or French Truffle...Wow, DELISH!

Lisa Primeau

I love this place for the quality of all baked goods. I cannot resist! Trisha has been very attentive to her emails and aims for satisfaction. This holds an extra spot in my heart as it is nut free!! Don't be afraid to give your tastebuds the best yet. And hey, if there is something that doesn't tickle your fancy after trying it you will be in for a surprise! They also deliver which is a plus!

Mohamed Shalih

Good Food, Good people and great combos. the sweet delicacies are must try...

Jennifer Johnson (JJMedia)

Incredible shortbread! I bought a box for my dad's birthday and now our family loves the crack! 100% recommend!

Edward Estabillo

Love the bread, will comeback next time. The owner gave me free cookies for my kids.. thanks

Turner Hyde

Everything is amazing, working around the corner is dangerous for my wallet

Patricia Di Chiara

We got several of their products for thanksgiving as we had guests and wanted to make sure to have something delicious to offer. I was truly amazed by the quality of the products. They are genuine and absolutely delicious. It has become our go to for scrumptious shortbreads.

Carolyn C

Received some goodies from them for Christmas. Not only was it delicious, I didn't have any digestive issues from them either.

Meigan Ariana

Had the pleasure of trying a few items from Eat My Shortbread at a recent festival and instantly fell in love. My favorite was the Crack which was absolutely delicious. I bought a bag and it barely made the ride home. I will definitely be buying more items. Love also that it’s a local business.

Marissa Magnetizer

I knew I loved shortbread - then I tried Eat My Shortbread and realized I was actually IN LOVE with Trisha's shortbread! Everything I have ever had from EMS has given me that take a bite, pause, and smile moment ... its truly that good. Not just the shortbread and 'craic' either - its the scones, and all the cookies - there is magic in her baking! I gift EMS every year, and not just at Christmas, but any time I want to impress and give something that is guaranteed to make the receiver happy.

Sarah Davidson

Extra helpful, very accommodating and made us feel like the most important people. She did a beautiful job and I’m very happy to be bringing this gift box.

Rye Protagonist

Let me start by saying that prior to trying some of the treats from Eat My Shortbread, I had always considered shortbread to be a very boring sort of biscuit that was always left over after all of the good treats were taken before it. After having sampled the deliciousness that comes from this place I can't begin to tell you how wrong I was. They look great, the packaging makes it a wonderful gift and the taste will make you want to start a new religion where you have to face boundary road and eat a shortbread every day. Seriously here, if going to Eat My Shortbread at least once a month isn't part of your regimen, you are failing at life. Save some for me.

Michelle Saranchuk

Very good products. Of course love their shortbread and scones ❤. Highly recommended ????????

MEGAN BALSTON

Trisha is such a wonderful person to deal with and I can tell you her tarts, scones and cookies are the best in Durham region. I will surely be visiting again!! Thanks Trisha!

Tanya Gordon

Best shortbread I have ever tasted! Truly melts in your mouth!

Vasily Gurin

Great place operated by a very friendly people. I found this place a several months ago and since than every visit there is a pleasure :)

Erin J

Superb little cafe! Breakfast bagels were excellent with a cuppa tea and indulgent salted caramel brownie. Excellent service, bravo. A must try!

Basil Broumeriotis

I contacted Eat My Shortbread in order to provide a care package during a sensitive time. I was given top service, with good advice and excellent follow through on delivery. The remarks expressed from the delivery recipient after delivery confirmed that I made a sensitive and caring gesture, which was my intention all along. Thank you Eat My Shortbread; you did great and I will totally recommend you. As an important second recommendation, I concomitantly placed an order for my awesome wife, for some gluten-free treats (important dietary piece for us) and Eat My Shortbread did not disappoint! Double points! Great job guys! You’ve got my vote 100%

Jasraj Singh

AMAZING experience!!! We came yesterday to get some goodies for my partner's parents. I was meeting her dad for the first time and wanted to take something with me. I found Eat My Shortbread on Google and came to the store. We ABSOLUTELY loved talking to Trisha- she's such a nice and kind lady!! She sorted us out with a basket and even gave us a few complimentary goodies. Also, she treated us to iced coffees. Very, very kind and generous. Thank you so much. :)

Mary Blackbones

Honestly, this place is amazing. It was reccomended to me by a friend and I come by to pick up the butterscotch shortbread. It's amazing. Try the scotch eggs too!

Michelle Scott

Love love love Eat My Shortbread. The Shortbread Bites are fantastic and the portion size allows you to sneak a quick cookie with an afternoon tea without the guilt. And for a extra special treat the Craic are like no other shortbread you’ve had before. Salty & Sweet and just a fantastic treat. Lastly supporting local business is important to me and I always look for local. I love how I can even find Eat My Shortbread at my local Sobeys!

Ana Egri

Every product I've tried from Eat My Shortbread has been delicious. I had never had a scone before and they're now a favourite of mine. I had never liked shortbread before I tried Trisha's and now I crave them! I've come to learn that the chances of me liking every baked good EMSB sells is very very high. Worth every penny!

Jennifer Brown-Warne

I haven't had the pleasure to visit the store yet, but have ordered on-line a number of times. The website is super easy to use & let me tell you, THESE ARE THE BEST PRODUCTS YOU WILL EVER EAT!! Sorry for all caps, I can't convey enough how delicious absolutely everything is. All products are fresh, sealed in individual bags & scrumptious. You definitely need to try, at the very least, one item. The brownies are to die for, scones are amazing, butter tarts with a shortbread base are the best thing you'll put in your mouth & don't even get me started on the craic! Buttery, sugary heaven!!

Kevin Muller

Mmmmmmm!!!! Awesome treats and coffee. Fantastic staff!

Taj Batth

Everything is so good . Coffee is amazing ????????????

Went here with a friend, and gotta say, I love the name of this bakery lol. The employee there was cheerful and always ready to assist customers. The Shortbread tasted great, and I got the weekly scone taste - I was not a fan of the cranberry flavor tbh, but that's my fault for buying it. It loses a star from me because the items are quite expensive ... wish they had discounts for students. The table we sat at also had leftover crumbs on it, from whoever the last customer(s) were. Besides that, I would recommend visiting this bakery, and I may try their coffee next time.

Andy Silman

Fantastic product. Works beautifully in cheering up my wife and my clients. Super fast and honourable shipping practices. All recipients have been fully satisfied and pleased.

Tiffany Bond

I placed an order for 110 packages of 2 cookies per pack. My whole experience with Trisha and team was excellent. The customer service was wonderful from the moment of my first email to the pick up at the shop. I would definitely recommend this business to anyone that is looking for excellent customer service and to die for cookies.

Deb Keogh

The BEST!! It is fair to say that over the last number of years we have sampled virtually every product made by Eat my Shortbread. It would be challenging to pick a single favourite, but Butter Crunch Toffee Shortbread is probably our #1.This would be followed by ANY of the shortbread based tarts. We ship Eat my Shortbread gift boxes across Canada to friends and family members for special occasions and I have taken platters of products to work and social functions. Everyone consistently raves about how delicious and delightful the shortbreads and all of their bakery treats are ☆☆☆☆☆. If you like chocolate go with the truffle tart! The Butter tarts are to die for. Salted caramel brownies? The best. Shortbread?? Mmmmmmmm....... Look no further if you want to 'wow' someone or your own taste buds today.

Rozi Humphrey

Great cookies, really love their scones. Excellent customer service.

Tom Turner

Great little surprise in a predominately industrial area. Worth any drive to get here. The lunch specials are great quality and even better value. The best shortbread in town!

Cathy Jay

Top notch service from a Top notch company. Our clients are very happy to receive these yummy treats!

Janice Meighan

The savoury scones are absolutely delicious. I’ve had them several times and often dream about them. I highly recommend them, and of course Trisha’s delicious buttery, melt in you mouth, shortbread. Fabulous!

Andrea Kennedy

Whether dining in or taking out the deliciousness that comes out of this kitchen is almost too good to be true! You can gift this to friends, or gift it to yourself, either way someone is going to be very very happy.

Patrick Fowler

Great products, friendly staff.

Sandra Delorme

This past mother’s day my daughter had a gift box sent to me from Eat my Shortbread, it was a beautifully packaged box delivered by UPS, filled with scones, cookies and tarts. So many items that I froze half and the goodies were just as good as they were when they were first delivered after thawing them. This gift was very thoughtful and certainly was enjoyed a lot longer then flowers! My thanks to Eat my Shortbread for providing such a wonderful service. Sandra Delorme

Alex Thom

Eat My Shortbread makes magic with their delectable baked goods. You simply haven’t lived until you’ve tried their mouthwatering shortbread. And the scones! And oh, the cookies! And the brownies! All of it. But not only that, they’re a remarkable company that gives back, is ethical, and is always innovating. This is a truly fantastic company. And now I need to go order more goodies because they’re addictive.

Kimberly Hajnal

I have been there twice in the last 2 weeks. The guy was so cold both times. Didn't even say Hello. Does NOT at all have any customer service skills. He needs to be trained properly and treat customers in a welcoming manner. The products are great. I love their scones. Wish he wasn't so cold. As I would love to come back for scones. But I will drive further to get comparable product and receive far better customer service, where owners are cheery and welcoming. I wont suggest for anyone to go there. Unfortunate. A good customer lost

Julie De Cruz

Absolutely amazing baked goods! I purchased brownies, tarts and cookies for my co-workers and I to try. Everyone was raving about them. I can't wait to go back to try other products. Try for yourself. I promise you won't be disappointed!

Mylene StAubin

Very good lunch and delicious baked goods!!

Jamie Nolan

My little girls favourite cookie is shortbread, but I figured it wasn’t peanut free so we couldn’t go in, turns out it’s ALL peanut free!!! (There are so many things she can’t even try because of it.) it was amazing! Staff was so friendly and helpful. Please try the Shortbread Crack. You won’t be disappointed!! We WILL be back ???? thank you for being so kind!

Michelle Hiebert

Great customer service

mary-lyn jacob

Love ❤️ love ❤️ Love ❤️ EMS! Baked from scratch is the best ???? no additives or preservatives. This is my go to when I don’t have time to bake or just when I want to indulge! Keep on baking Trish! ????

Jessica Hogue

Hands down the best shortbread and scones I've ever had. But it's the care and that is put in to sourcing local ingredients that really wins me over. You will not regret checking this place out.

Julie H

We really appreciate having a nut free bakery option here in Oshawa. Coffee and service is very good at the OC location. Scones were tasty and fresh. Great little cafe.

A Machnik

Literally addicted to the delicious chocolate chip scones. I had never had a scone before, but now I don't think I can eat anything other than these. The Craic is my daughter's absolute favourite. It's just the right about of sweetness. We can't say enough wonderful things about this company. They are very involved in community initiatives, supportive to all businesses, and put care into each and every recipe. So happy to have such a wonderful bakery right here in Durham Region.

Tracy Cleghorn

Wow, wow, wow! Overall customer experience was an A+! From the easy order, to the customization to the final delivery! Not to mention the product- simply amazing! Top notch product and dedication to their customers!Thanks Eat my Shortbread!! Can’t wait to order again.

Filipe Frade

Fantastic! Very friendly staff. An oasis in a industrial part of town. Definitely worth the visit if your in the area.

Sarah Genco

They make the best scones! Toffee is our favourite, but you can't go wrong with any. The cheddar herb is also one of our faves and the CRAIC is addictive! I love supporting small businesses, and these are good people. Excellent customer service! If you haven't tried them you're missing out!

N AlRawahi

Good products... Friendly staff.

K C

We just got a batch of shortbread in our Wonderkind gift bag, and man these are delicious, bite sized, wonders of joy! Very different experience than a few years ago, I assume we just got a bad batch a few years back.

Mai Revues

Oshawa Center: I visited this cafe and bought coffee + a treat three times now (all in December). The product is good, however, staff need to be trained more in basic smiling and pleasantry. I guess the point is, if you're selling treats, it should also be a treat to experience pleasant customer service.

Lauren

Very nice staff and delicious treats!

Robin Zinyk

I tried these baked goods and they are delicious! I have sent them as Christmas treats to friends and family. I highly recommend that you try it - you won’t regret it.

Rita Fournier

A gem and a destination. You won't be disappointed with the wide variety. My favourites include the salted caramel brownies, the scones and of course the shortbread (my favourite is the buttercrunch toffee). This is a bakery that is worth the drive.

Ann-Marie Naraysingh

Visited the store for the first time today. Not only are their products all small batch, fresh made and extremely delicious, the customer service was beyond excellent!! What an amazing business - a wonderful, locally made product and friendly, warm customer service. They truly went above and beyond, I highly recommend a stop by to pick up some treats!!

David Nelson

Excellent shortbread. Great texture and taste.

betty skinner

Today is my birthday and I ate an entire package of shortbread cookies from Eat My Shortbread. This is the best shortbread ever.

Marty Urquhart

Ordered on line. A cold February thinking of you gift for my mother. Amazing customer service and products. Thank you again Trisha. My mother LOVES Eat My Shortbread Crack. When ever I see your products at events I always pick her up a treat. I am extremely happy that you had an online ordering option for me to surprise my parents.

Roula Hares

Gave this place a try on a whim and I'm highly satisfied. Decided to try a blueberry scone freshly out the oven and it was to die for. This place is affordable and very competitive in terms of pricing with other known cafes. It is definitely worth a try.

Andrew M

Best shortbread in town!

Judy Lynn Beaulieu

Fabulous food and awesome customer service.

Jennie Isaacs

Ordered a premium box for my mom for her birthday. They delivered it on her birthday to her front porch. My mom called all excited and said the box was filled with gorgeous desserts and the best thing is it’s shortbread!

Natalie Daniels

I'm only a few bites in and WOWWW!!! So delicious, and the packaging is beautiful- making it a great addition for gift baskets :) I will definitely become "a regular"! Can't wait until after lockdown when I can go inside and get the full experience.

Matthew Hunter

I used to work next door and I have to say nothing beat having lunch from Eat My Shortbread, so many options to choose from and I never had a bad experience.

Thompson Solutions Ltd. Sales & Promotions

Eat My Shortbread makes the best shortbread I’ve ever ate. I was addicted on my first bite and Trisha is a great local entrepreneur and strive to provide the best products possible.

Edward White

Great coffee, great butter tarts!

T Scott

Best scones ever and lot's of delicious buttery treats!

Maureen Mills

I have made quite a few purchases for myself & several for functions - I have never been disappointed in the quality of the products & the helpfulness of the staff. Best shortbread! You won’t believe your taste buds!!

Neal Mackenzie

Scones were loved by all.

Thomas H.

tasty, tasty, tasty. Thanks!!

Brydie Lloyd

The regular shortbread is delicious, and I could eat it by the truckload. The white chocolate cranberry is also good. The salted caramel craic, however, is WAY too sweet. One little bite of one piece, and I had to put it down, it was so overpowering , it's inedible. The rest of the product is good, so I'll definitely be back. I'll just narrow my shopping list to avoid the craic.

Deborah A Fotios

Delicious homemade taste to baked goods I purchased online and picked up today. Thanks very much, Trisha! -Deborah D.A.
