Ba Noi

What is Ba Noi? Operating out of a former family-run print shop at 806 Bloor Street West, Ba Noi is an acclaimed Bloorcourt micro-bakery founded by chef An Tran. Named in honour of his paternal grandmother, the stripped-back storefront features a warm counter-service layout framed by wide windows and lush greenery, designed specifically for quick takeaway runs.

Ba Noi Menu & What to Order The runaway headliner is the butter tart, defined by an intensely flaky, laminated crust that hugs a rich, custard-adjacent filling with the perfect gooey drip. Sourdough purists should secure a crusty, naturally leavened country loaf early, while sweet tooths will want the chewy brown butter chocolate chip cookie finished with flaky sea salt. Wash down savoury stuffed milk buns or seasonal fruit pies with a potent Vietnamese iced coffee laced with condensed milk.

Know Before You Go Ba Noi is strictly walk-in and takeout-only with no interior seating or reservations. Popular loaves and signature tarts often sell out well before the 4:00 p.m. close—especially on weekends—so arrive before noon for the best selection. The shop sits conveniently along the Bloor-Danforth line, a quick walk from both Christie and Ossington subway stations.
