Sweetcultura Bakery & Food Catering — Restaurant in Toronto

Sweetcultura may have just become my favourite Italian bakery in the city (and with all the amazing options here, that's saying something). It basically boils down to this: Chef Andrea knows his flavours. You could put a blindfold on me and I'd be able to tell you what flavour the cannoli or cookie is - it's that distinct and powerful and satisfying.

My wife and I have had stuff delivered twice now, and both times were a big hit with our tastebuds and tummies. We got: Cannolis: All assortments of flavours (I liked the ricotta, tiramisu and amarena ones the most). The filling was consistently smooth and creamy, and the shell was perfectly crunchy. Cookies: Tried the mango cream and coconut ones. But were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. And wow did the flavours burst when you bit into them. Chocolate Babka: A tad dry on the edges (though the inside was moist) but I loooooooooved how much dark chocolate there was swirling in and around the whole loaf. Strawberry Tart (mini): Good amount of strawberries, really smooth base cream, and the shell was melt-in-your-mouth awesome. Bolognese Lasagna and Garlic Bread: The lasagna was super cheesy, which I love. And the garlic bread, despite being delivered, tasted freshly baked and had just the right amount of garlic. Also, at $17 for a small tray of lasagna (good for 2-3 people), it was definitely great value for money.

In addition, they gave us a couple of free mini samples to try: Linzer Torte: Good quality raspberry jam with a nice nutty crust. Torta Ricotta, Mascarpone and Chocolate Chips: Just the lightness of the cheese mixed with the sweet hits of the chocolate chips was a great balance.

As you can see, we've tried quite a lot of the stuff on their menu, and every single one of them was a hit. That's really really hard to do. Sweetcultura's world may revolve around sweets, but its culture is surely grounded...

I’ve ordered from Sweet Cultura twice now and both times, the food were just amazing. Andrea has been so accommodating with our requests since my wife has some dietary restrictions.

First time I ordered was a pistachio raspberry cake. It was so good. I didn’t think the pistachio and raspberry combination would be so good, but it definitely hit the spot. It was the right sweetness and a bit of tanginess from the raspberry that made it all blend together. Definitely a must try.

More recently, we ordered through the website one ricotta pistachio cake and one Napoletana pie. We brought the ricotta pistachio cake to a family gathering and it was devoured. Everyone enjoyed it. Even my nephew who’s 3 years old enjoyed it so much and wanted to go for seconds.

The Napoletana we saved for just myself and the wife. It was so good that we try to control ourselves from finishing it all in one sitting. The pie crust is so soft and does not break easily. It is a perfect blend altogether.

I don’t have photos but you can check the we site out. It is exactly as it is shown on the website.

They have cooked food as well and we’ll likely try those out as well next time. We’ll be back again in the...

This business is a great little Italian bakery that specializes in sweets but also with a good variety of savoury items. Over the past few years of operation has brought some of the Italian taste to the neighbourhood. Everything is made in store everyday. Therefore freshness is guaranteed. I recommend planning ahead as the place is popular and if you go too close to the end of the day you may not find what you are looking for. Likely they take orders. After bringing the first time one of the mascarpone chocolate chip cake all my friends are requesting it to all the parties I attend. I definitely recommend it, although my favourite remains the apple cake, and the fruit tarts. The pastry is good as well. Try the danishes. From the sandwiches I normally buy the eggplant chicken. I feel like that is a well done product that is not available in any other bakery which too me is an extra reason to com e buy to sweet...
