At Planted, desserts can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of food restrictions or choices. This vegan cafe offers dairy-free alternatives of the most popular sweets out there including a delicious Tiramisu.

Visit Planted and try the Vanilla ladyfingers soaked in coffee liqueur, layered in a rich maple cashew custard and topped with cocoa powder. They have nut-free options as well and all dishes are free from dairy, eggs, and gluten.


 Candi Werx

Candi Werx has a reputation for quality treats! They have chocolate, candy, fudge, and sweets from around the world. Looking for a British treat? They carry goods like Twirl and Double Decker.

 Pane Del Sole

For a variety of Italian desserts, Pane Del Sole is your place to go! This shop on John and Cannon is home to hot food, pastries, and Italian products at excellent prices!

They have different kinds of cannolis, cookies, squares & pastries, but the Pesche Dolci (Italian Peach Cookies) are what keeps me coming back! Not sure what you want? Grab a box and fill it with a mix of desserts!


  Cake & Loaf

The Cake & Loaf sweets are out of this world! Whimsical, magical, delectable and unique! Made from scratch and with seasonal ingredients, Cake & Loaf has a selection of sweet & savoury items. They’re also known for one-of-a-kind custom designs.


  Chocolat on James

If you love variety, Chocolat on James is not to be missed. Pick from truffles, fudge, barks, or novelty items like chocolate frogs, bugs and letters. Chocolat on James is an extraordinary experience. Watch the chocolate being made in-house and the staff pour and wrap each treat with perfection.

Fill your senses with the aroma of sweet treats and pick and choose the toppings and flavours you want. Want to try something unlike anything else? Try their chocolate cheesecake on a stick!


  Bean Bar

It’s hard to choose the best dessert in Westdale but we can narrow it down to the cakes at Bean Bar. They have a huge selection of unique cheesecake flavours and other sweet treats. Some reviews online exclaim that the desserts at Bean Bar are “heaven on earth” and a “slice of heaven” and I agree! Special shout out to the key lime cheesecake and the white chocolate cheesecake. These two really stand out!


  Copper Kettle

There are a few places you go out of your way for, and Copper Kettle is one of them. Known for their famed apple fritters, Copper Kettle is nestled in the heart of Waterdown. This treat has a warm apple filling, inside a fried exterior covered in cinnamon sugar.

Pick some up today! These make for the perfect party favour that are sure to please all guests.


  Ola Bakery & Pastries

On the top of the list is a not-so-hidden gem on James St N — Ola Bakery. It’s a traditional Portuguese cafe in the heart of downtown. Stepping into Ola gives you a tiny taste of Europe. Order up front and sit for a while to enjoy authentic Portuguese treats or lunches prepared fresh daily. One of the best items on the menu are the pastel de natas, otherwise known as Portuguese custard tarts.

These tarts alone are worth a visit to the downtown core. A crispy, flaky crust filled with creamy custard in the middle, baked to perfection and topped with some cinnamon.

While the interior is old fashioned, there’s a certain charm about this place that makes coming back a delightful experience.
