Baker and Scone

What is Baker and Scone? Occupying a sunlit storefront at 693 St. Clair Avenue West in Wychwood, Baker and Scone is owner Sandra Katsiou’s homage to British tea-baking tradition. The bright, pistachio-and-white space features glass domes loaded with freshly baked goods on marble counters and a semi-open prep kitchen where trays are rolled and cut throughout the morning. Seating is limited to a handful of cozy cafe tables and counter spots, catering heavily to the neighbourhood's morning commuter and grab-and-go crowd.

Baker and Scone Menu & What to Order The menu revolves around an encyclopedic repertoire of sweet and savoury scones, using Stirling Creamery butter to achieve a golden, flaky crust and a tender, steaming centre. On the savoury side, the Old White Cheddar, Dill and Chive scone is an undeniable neighbourhood favourite, while sweet champions include the Salted Caramel, Fresh Blueberry Vanilla, and Orange, Cardamom and Date. Pair your pastry with a Rufino espresso or organic tea, grab a side jar of the tangy housemade lemon curd, and look for daily gluten-free options like the Raspberry Lemon.

Know Before You Go This is a walk-in, counter-service shop with no reservations, and top-tier flavours routinely sell out by mid-morning on busy weekends. The quickest transit route is the 512 St. Clair streetcar, stopping just steps away at Christie Street, with paid street parking scattered along the avenue. The bakery runs daily from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., but calling a day in advance is essential if you plan to order dozen boxes for catering.
