Circles & Squares Bakery Café

I first tried the Banana Pudding from Circles and Squares at a party last week, and I was blown away. It was hands down the best I’ve ever had - even better than the famous Magnolia Bakery version in NYC! So for a party I was attending today, I called ahead to reserve six of them. I spoke to Atticus, who was so friendly and accommodating.

When I arrived about 30 minutes later, I was instantly impressed by their incredible selection of prepared foods, fresh breads, frozen meals, and pastries. The front display case was pure temptation - it had one of the most stunning assortments of baked goods I’ve ever seen. Of course, I couldn’t resist picking up the award-winning Coconut Butter Tart, plus a Chocolate Chip Cookie and a Cookie Dough Cookie.

Everything was absolutely phenomenal. The Banana Pudding was, once again, a total hit at the party - creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. But the real showstopper was the Coconut Cream Butter Tart. It was heavenly — creamy, lightly sweet, with a subtle hint of coconut that perfectly complemented the buttery crust. I’m not usually a butter tart fan, but this one completely changed my mind.

Circles and Squares is officially my new obsession - from their artisan baked goods to their signature desserts, everything is next-level. I’m already planning my next visit… and if I were stranded on an island, I’d bring their Banana Pudding and Coconut Cream Tart with me!

Lovely helpful staff. Drinks were fantastic! I had a latte, my daughter had ice coffee.
Pastries were both beautiful and delicious! Almost impossible to choose as we wanted one of everything! We ordered muffins, s’mores tarts and cinnamon buns…all incredible
This was our first visit to the bakery but will definitely not be our last!
Highly recommend!!!!

Good bakery. I got the ham and Swiss. It was good. Everything else looked good. Staff were very friendly. Unfortunately they were out of the breakfast options. The line was intimidatingly long (almost out the door), but it only took 5mins to get served.

If your in the area and looking for a bakery, I would strongly recommend.

I've been here only a few times but it never disappoints. The staff are so nice and friendly. Any food and drinks I've gotten always tasted so good! The hand held chicken pot pie was AMAZING! I highly recommend it, just be sure to get it heated. I do find it on the pricy side but for the quality, it's totally worth it.

First time ever trying a butter tart and I loved it!! The mortadela sandwich was also incredible!! We’ll definitely be coming back to try other items.

Pricy but well worth the money. Their butter tarts are AMAZING (it's the only thing I came for so I can't speak on anything else), they have the flakiest crust with deliciously rich, flavorful, and gooey filling. Totally understandable as to why their butter tarts are award winning. I was surprised with how big their selection is for how small of a shop they have. They've got SO MANY items ranging from cookies, cakes, bread, scones, croissants, coffee, tea, and more. There's even more seating upstairs-- which I didn't get the chance to check out because I was in a rush today, but I'm sure it's just as cute and aesthetic as their main level. Service was also super friendly and welcoming. Would love to come again when I'm in the area and try their drinks and one of their savory pastries! :)

This is a great cafe conveniently right outside Davisville station! It’s a bit tight in the downstairs area, but upstairs, there’s plenty of seating available. They have various baked goods, and the strawberry rhubarb croissant was amazing. They also sell salads/bowls, cakes, and other desserts like tiramisu (which was great). The matcha drinks were fairly tasty with a good matcha flavour. Would recommend stopping by, the workers were all also super friendly and sweet.

company has an agreement with a coffee service with HDSB - fantastic PD service yesterday ! food is fresh and crispy

one of the best blueberry scones i've ever had

If you're looking for a cozy bakery café with delicious baked goods and friendly service, then Circles & Squares Bakery Café is the great place for you. It’s in the heart of Yonge and Davisville, and is a hidden gem that is well worth a visit.

I recently had the chance to try and I was impressed. The bakery is small and unassuming, but the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and they are happy to answer any questions you have about the menu.

The baked goods at this bakery are simply divine. The pastries are light and flaky, the cakes are moist and flavorful, and the bread is fresh and crusty. I was particularly impressed with the selection of vegan and gluten-free options.

In addition to the baked goods, they also offers a variety of coffee and tea drinks. The coffee is strong and flavorful, and the tea is fresh and fragrant.

First time giving this bakery a try, everything was amazing. Tried the apple pie croissant, the classic butter tart, and best of all was the garlic cheese baguette. This is my new fave specialty baguette. Amazing.

We got the spinach artichoke brioche. They offered to heat it up which we recommend! It's not too rich and very flavorful!! They have more seating area upstairs. They have a good variety of desserts and savoury baked goods as well as frozen stuff to take home. Service and atmosphere is really nice as well. Will come back for more!

Based on the reviews, I really wanted this place to shine. The upstairs sitting area is pretty miraculous – it was pretty full of people but quiet can you imagine a café or a small restaurant that’s not blasting music??? This is the spot if you wanna have a meal or coffee or a snack without music blasting through your head (a.k.a. like Starbucks or any other coffee shop in Toronto). The bathroom downstairs on the main floor, was clean and easily accessible .

The menu seemed very complete – lots of baked goods, both fresh and frozen, and some prepared food, such as lasagna. I had the meatball sandwich and the brownie and the lemonade. Here’s my two cents for the food; the meatball sandwich hit the spot, not too big and just filling enough as a lunch. The brownie was a bit disappointing – I’m not sure what it was, but it seemed like it was lacking substance too sugary and not enough cocoa flavor. The biggest disappointment however, was the “lemonade” dash it was basically lemon water. My son put it best. “lemonade is supposed to taste a bit sour and a bit sweet but it was neither sour or sweet… It tasted like very faint, lemon and water…).
The staff are extremely friendly. The ambiance was very inviting so I will give this place another shot just to try it out again.
