Ampersand Bakehouse

I had my son’s first birthday here. Everything was amazing!

We ordered 2 dozen cupcakes for our son's birthday party. Our favourite is the French Toast cupcake! Not too sweet but very flavorful. We will buy here again. I haven't tried all the flavours but the banana cupcake is good too. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Kid-friendliness: We attended a toddler birthday party here in the morning. Staff was very friendly and cupcakes were vegan so basically all kids could eat one. There were books, colouring pages and other toys to play with. Not a lot but enough for the kids to enjoy themselves.

THE BEST London fog cookie I’ve had hands down. Really appreciate their vegan selection, I’ve tried the aforementioned London fog cookie plus an espresso chocolate one (great balance of bitterness and sweetness of the two) and a French toast blueberry cupcake (not too sweet, still decadent and perfectly moist and fluffy). Will absolutely be back to try more. The staff were very welcoming and helpful.

i got the smash cake for my 1 yo birthday. we were all extremely happy with the service and the cake looked and tasted phenomenal! even my picky eater torn it apart! thank you so much for adding this amazing memory to his special birthday. Definitely recommend!!

Delicious cookies and cupcakes. Great service. Very cute place to stop for a coffee and a treat! Loads of vegan / plant-based options. Vegetarian options: Also have amazing vegan options!

We just recently celebrated our daughter's 2nd birthday at Ampersand and cannot recommend it enough. Stephanie transformed the space into a fairy garden- I think the best part is that we didn't have to decorate ourselves! We had space for a circle time singalong, the adults enjoyed hot drinks, and the toddlers loved playing with the train set, play kitchen and toys. Everyone had a blast and came home with a delicious cupcake. I would highly recommend Ampersand for your next birthday party or shower- a totally stress-free party-planning experience. PS. Best chai latte and cupcakes on the Danforth, hands down.

I found out it was a coworkers birthday last minute today, so I did a search of bakeries nearby, and happened upon this gem!! Such friendly service, and beautiful baked goods. Also, I loved that there were some vegan options! So useful for the lactose intolerant life, AND they tasted great (like the london fog cookie in the pic). Will definitely be coming back.

These are the best cupcakes I have ever had. The flavours are unique and always changing. They are also the best looking cupcakes I have seen. They are not too sweet, the icing is perfect, and they stay fresh for days. Stephanie is very responsive and will process your order right away or answer any questions you might have. Even people who do not usually eat cupcakes agree that these cupcakes are incredible. I go out of my way to get them whenever I can (I do not live close to The Danforth but they also deliver to some areas). Stephanie was also very accommodating for my wedding and delivered 130 cupcakes to my reception venue with no issues. I highly recommend Ampersand Bakehouse especially the chocolate strawberry cupcake. Dietary restrictions: Many vegan options available and they taste great. My favourite cupcake is the chocolate strawberry which is vegan and I'm not vegan myself.
