Cake & Loaf - Hamilton, Ontario

I finally got to visit Cake & Loaf bakery after following them on Instagram and getting the recipe book! I was not disappointed! The lady who served us was so friendly and lovely! The last minute cakes were all finished because of Fathers Day but I managed to pick up a ... strawberry rhubarb scone and lemon blueberry loaf. They are both SO YUMMY! Also they gave me a surprise free creme egg brownie bar! She sneaked it into my package after we had a fun discussion about their home grown rhubarb and how much I love the bakery. What a sweet gesture! And honestly it too was delicious! I’ll be coming back for the full cake when I’m back in town. Update- I had the vanilla cake. It tastes of PURE vanilla. And you can see the vanilla bean specks in the cake too. I loved it personally. Read more

Unique looking baked walnut butter tart> tart shell look like a puff pastry. Vanilla bean latte> best latte I have ever had. Lots of pastry treats to choose from. Highly recommended and must visit when you're in Hamilton. Friendly staff.

The Cake & Loaf bakery is a small unassuming little bakery in Hamilton serving up some very creative and delightful baked goods. In our quest to find the best butter tarts in Ontario, and explore some of the best bakeries, we have been trying to get to Cake & Loaf for ... some time. We finally visited on Halloween weekend and the whole place was alive with the spirit of the season. They had spooky cakes covered in eye balls, candy corn brownies, rock road bars made to look like dirt and cemeteries, and many other delightful items. I purchased a lot of different items so that I could get a great sample of what they offer here, in case I didn't make it back for a while. The treats all look so beautiful, fun, and fanciful. The taste of the baked good was equally amazing. The service was super friendly. When I explained how excited I was to finally make it in store, the lady was very excited for me to try different items. I saw them on the CTV's The Social with Jess Allen, at easter - doing a demo on easter baked goods. The buttertarts were the reason I came for @Rogue_Trippers #buttertartquest, but the other items we purchased were just as exciting. I cannot wait to come back and try other items. They offer a few pantry items, merchandise, and of course - their own cook book. You can order custom items as well as purchase the items from the shelf. Read more

Very small so there's usually a line up out the door but very tasty and rich pastries! I like how they package things so nicely and they've got fair trade, vegan and I believe organic options as well. A little pricey however quality nonetheless. I'll surely return... I'd like to ... try their cakes! Read more

The Cake and Loaf is just amazing. I jog by this place every morning and the smell of the freshly baked goods always make my stomach growl. The 1st time I visited Cake and Loaf I was welcomed with amazing service and an aroma that made my ... heart skip a beat. Their variety is amazing. Get anything from full loafs of freshly baked cheese bread to perfectly frosted individual cinnamon buns. The chicken pot pie is amazing and their coffees, and lattes and teas make you feel warm inside and out. My roommate and I finished a whole loaf of Jensen Cheddar bread in one sitting. So consider yourselves warned. Read more
