Select Bakery Patisserie

What is Select Bakery Patisserie? Select Bakery Patisserie has been an iconic pillar of Greek culinary culture in Toronto since opening its doors at 405 Donlands Avenue in Old East York. Functioning as both a bustling European patisserie and a gourmet Mediterranean specialty market, the multi-generational family business supplies Greek expat communities and Toronto food lovers with handcrafted phyllo pastries, celebratory baked goods, and imported delicacies.

Select Bakery Patisserie Menu & What to Order The pastry counter is a showcase of traditional Greek baking craftsmanship. Handcrafted Bougatsa, filled with sweet semolina custard and dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon within paper-thin phyllo pastry, is a morning ritual for regulars. The baklava is richly layered with crushed walnuts and orange blossom honey syrup, while the galaktoboureko delivers citrus-infused custard pastry. Savory pies include crisp spinach spanakopita and sheep's milk feta tiropita baked golden brown. Complete your visit with a braided loaf of sweet tsoureki brioche and an authentic Greek iced espresso freddo.

Know Before You Go Located on Donlands Avenue just north of O'Connor Drive, the bakery offers convenient street parking along Donlands and surrounding residential avenues. The 56 Donlands bus stops directly outside the door. Alongside pastries, the adjoining market aisles feature barrel-aged Greek feta, Kalamata olive oils, and imported Hellenic snacks, making it an essential one-stop Greek food destination.
