European-Inspired Cakes & Pastries in Thornhill
Chocolada Bakery was founded in 1988 with a mission to share cherished Eastern European family recipes that have been passed down through generations. Our journey began in a home kitchen, where we crafted three types of pastries for local delis. The overwhelming response led to rapid growth, transforming us into a professional bakery offering over 60 varieties of cakes, pastries, and savory baked goods. We specialize in creating custom desserts for special occasions, from birthdays to weddings, ensuring each product meets the highest standards of quality and taste. Our commitment to excellence extends to our daily cafe, where customers enjoy espresso, authentic gelato, and seasonal treats. With decades of experience, we combine traditional techniques with modern innovation to deliver exceptional baked goods at competitive prices.Our team takes pride in being part of Toronto's most important family celebrations, providing desserts that bring joy and connection. We operate seven days a week, offering both pre-orders and in-store purchases for convenience. Transparency, reliability, and a deep understanding of our craft guide every decision we make. Our reputation for consistency and quality has made us a trusted name in the community, serving both individuals and businesses. We remain dedicated to evolving our offerings while staying true to the recipes that started it all.

Excellent! The cake was moist and not too sweet! (I got the orange chocolate cake)
July 24th Update: Almost a year later, the Chocolate Orange Cake is still phenomenal! Layers are moist and not dry. Within the cake are orange peel shavings enhancing the flavour of the cake, making its name hold true. The mousse is very delicious, and tastes VERY fresh. I definetly suggest the 10" size as you WILL enjoy the leftover cake in the days following your special event!
December 31st 2021 Update: Again, quality is still superb. The cake top was decorated with December festivities which shows their attention

One of the best place to buy cake for all occasions. Better to visit their site and look for flavors. Staff is very polite and welcoming. Complex has multiple parking spots.

Picked up some delicious desserts and we were blown away! The Mille feuille and marble chocolate cake were delicious! One light and flaky, while having wonderfully decadent custard, and the other perfectly chocolatey sweet!

Got the apple pie and pumpkin pie from here for Thanksgiving, had to wait 30 mins in line but absolutely worth it and delicious. Highly recommend.

The worst napoleon weve ever tried - too sweet, very thick and heavy (I could barely cut it). Out of 5 ppl, nobody liked it, had to throw away.
