Although I love supporting a local business, the prices here are astronomical. 6.25$ for a loaf of bread ??? At weils (bakery in westdale) the bread is under or around 3$. The one brownie I saw was $7.50, which is insane. Everything was obviously prepared with love and flair, some very unique items,...

Fresh, local ingredients when possible, and rotating deliciousness throughout the year. I also love that they pay their employees a living wage. Yes, that makes me frequent this place more. I'm happy to pay more for equitable practices. It doesn't hurt that they're also the best.

I ordered a cake for my moms birthday and not only was it one of the most beautiful cakes I've ever eaten, it was also delicious. You could tell that it was a high quality cake baked with high quality ingredients. I will definitely order from them again.

Dropped in since i saw it on the side of the road while searching for a small place to grab a price to eat. The classic cinnamon bun is absolutely fantastic, worth getting to even try it out. Had driven up and down the area multiple times but never have i noticed the tiny building. Small place but l...

I got the everything "bagel" which is more of a pretzel than a bagel. It's so good! You don't need any condominents with it and it's packed with flavour. Also tried the skor cookie with the filling the middle. It's really sweet so I could only eat half and saved the rest for later, but was also very...

It goes without saying that the food here is delicious. My friend who is a chef at a fine dining restaurant calls them wizards. But more than the talent and friendliness of the staff, I applaud their customer service. For thanksgiving I'd ordered a salty honey pie. On pickup day, they mistakenly gav...

Great little bakery. I tried the skor banana doughnut, skor cookie sandwich and a chocolate chip cookie, we also had a regular latte and a roasty toasty marshmallow salted caramel latte. Everything was excellent, starting with the customer service and ending with all the treats. I would highly recom...

Very cute place, cool themes and neat flavours - as many have said the items are a bit too sweet though. They need a balance of bitter bitter or acidity to cut through the sweetness (like the unicorn bars). I got a sweet latte with one and that it was just overwhelming. Doing the Cha time model of h...

I really do love all the treats they prepare here. Whenever I have family or friends come in from out of town, I buy everyone dessert from here!

My one complaint, however, the front of store staff are always very cold when I come in. They seem to just be too busy or uninterested to bother being f...

Very small so there's usually a line up out the door but very tasty and rich pastries! I like how they package things so nicely and they've got fair trade, vegan and I believe organic options as well. A little pricey however quality nonetheless. I'll surely return... I'd like to try their cakes!

The items are not worth the prices. They are pretty good but just not worth what they are asking for. I know it's to pay their employees a livable wage, but as someone who has to watch their own spending closely this store is too much of a luxury.

Cake & Loaf carries a number of items you won't see anywhere else, such as their Unicorn Viva Puff and Party Sammies. Despite the beautiful display of unique options, I don't think I will return to this bakery. The staff were rather cold, seemingly trying to get through the line as fast as possible....

Great product and staff. This is not a cheap place, but given the quality of the food, the emphasis on local ingredients and the fact that they insist on paying their staff "living wages" which is between $15-18 an hour and close on holidays to give staff time off, it is well worth it. Check them ou...

I purchased my wedding cake through Cake and Loaf for my wedding this past weekend. Everything about the cake and service was amazing! First off, they accommodated us right off the bat with making a vegan wedding cake. The groom is vegan (I am not) and I wanted to make sure that there was a dessert ...

Everything I've ever put in my mouth from this place has been fantastic. Recently we ordered my daughter's birthday cake from here, and I walked in, not really knowing what I wanted, and ended up with the most delicious, and gorgeous creation. Real ingredients (honestly if I had to eat another Lobla...

I absutabsolutely hate this place. It's one of those things yuppie baked goods over priced and over rated. Got a coffee there once ..last time. The kids like the occasional cookie. Can't believe their price for a small chunk of cookie dough.

I may if absolutely necessary buy a Small item for the...

Discovered Cake and Loaf when living in Hamilton but now I have to make a stop every time I'm in the area. Rotational products keep you coming back and they have a great social media presence so you can plan to go when their rotational product match your cravings.

Everything there is always delicious! The Jensen cheddar loaf is so good that you can just eat it on its own without anything on it. The chicken pot pie is also one of my go-to favourites. If you're in need of comfort food you should definitely try it.
Other favourites for me are: the OMG bar, mint...

Perfect birthday cake! The cake looked absolutely gorgeous (numerous comments from our adult & kid guests) and tasted delicious!

We kept it simple - vanilla bean with butter cream icing. Just the right amount of sweetness to be yummy but not sickly sweet.

Very reasonably priced. Our cake was f...

Relatively small bakeshop specializing in old-school Canadian bakery staples (cinnamon buns, butter tarts, etc.) with a hipster twist. There might even be a bit of a retro vibe going for it, with the white trays and unpainted wooden shelves, serving up anything from giant Oreo cookies, homemade choc...

Coffee and tea are amazing, and the food is delicious! It may seem a bit expensive at first, but when you take into account the quality of the from-scratch, locally sourced food, and the happiness of the employees, it is definitely worth it!

Made an AMAZING cake for my sister's birthday! So beautiful and so delicious! It was a two tier red velvet cake decorated like a unicorn and nothing is more her. It was so pretty, I felt bad knowing we were eating it... a feeling that disappeared when we tasted it!

Hands down my favourite bakery in Hamilton. Some disclaimers before you go!

1. They only have 2 parking spots and they're located on a busy road. So unless you manage to snag a spot at the strip across the street you might find yourself having to drive up and down Dundurn (or a side street) to fi...
