Karlik Pastry - Ontario's Best Cheesecakes — Restaurant in Hamilton

Spectacular variety of desserts and pastries, and way better quality than your average supermarket bakery for the same price or less. The first time I came to this little shop with my boyfriend we were having some difficulties and just wanted to grab a drink. The lady that runs this place (I assume, because she's usually there) was very kind to us at a time we both really needed and appreciated it. So now that things are better, on his birthday we stopped there and I told him to pick whatever dessert he wanted and we expressed our gratitude for her kindness. Surprisingly, she remembered us! Not only is this a great place for anyone with a sweet tooth, it's a great place to support for being so compassionate and community minded. And I have never had a better custard square in...

Hidden Gem! The lady in the store stayed opened later when she saw I was interested in purchasing. Thank you again! My daughter and I were so happy.

We purchased two cakes; one full small cake and a slice of a similar style cake in a different design.

They are just fabulous! Definitely better than grocery bakery store bought and priced fairly! You’ll want to catch her during her hours because you’ll be pleasantly pleased.

The flavours all complemented each other perfectly! Nothing too sweet, chocolatey, or dry/ moist. The chocolate outer layer had the perfect break when cut. multiple layers of cake and frosting/ cream! Just fantastic.

Parking on the street or side roads for those driving in.

For locals, it’s nice for us to having something walking distance...

Note: This review is for the St. Jacobs Market location. A nice little bakery booth in the center aisle of the main building at St Jacobs market. There was a great variety of pastries and cakes on display. I choose chocolate cream horn which was flaky and delicious, a lemon slice which was tasty but could have used some more kick to the lemon gel, and something that was advertised as a brandy snap but was I think the term means something different in Polish Cuisine than British. It was a small chocolate cake cylinder with a strong alcohol kick. There was definitely no snap but it was delicious. Everything was delicious and the prices were very reasonable (especially for the market)

Note the pictures are all half of the treats as I was sharing...
