Blackbird Baking Co. Kensington Market

Delicious baked goods in an interesting neighborhood! I had a drip coffee and a kouign-amann. As soon as I finished my pastry I wanted another. Definitely stop by if you are in Toronto and take a stroll around Kensington Market. Seating is limited but was no problem for us when we arrived shortly after opening on a Saturday.

Very fresh daily baked bread 🥖 with love and kindness. The sourdough breads must have to go! Next time I’ll come back to get croissants 🥐

Updated , I’m glad to hear that . Thank you for your response. I’ll visit again on the weekend. ======================== The multigrain bread is fresh and soft. Even though I ate it right after buying, I noticed quite a bit of stale smell and aftertaste. I’m curious if there’s a particular reason for using a lot of preservatives. I’d appreciate it if you could share the reason in the comments.

This bakery is special. You can tell it is loved by the locals for the wide selection of fresh breads but it’s worth a stop as a visitor for the pastries. The buckwheat financiers are exceptional. An excellent lemon tart, and viennoiserie as well.

Ordered an apple pastry from here and it was affordable and very very delicious! I thought they were Amish but nope they just make good pastries. I wish the place was bigger though so i could lounge, work, and savor the baked goods... but other than that, all was perfect.
