I come here once a week, but the quality is hit and miss. I depends who is behind the counter. If you order a panini, sometimes it’s melted other times it’s barely warm, sometimes burned. The price is never the same each time either. The custard tarts are always fresh, everything is made downstairs, I’ve never had a bad pastry in this place. Prices are very reasonable. They have a small outdoor area that’s great to sit in the summer.
The biggest turn off is the smell of old cooking and the smell of the dishwasher, which permeates this place and leaves your clothes reeking. I have to hang my clothes outside when I get home to remove the smell. The cushions at the front and rear are stained and filthy. Often there are some groups of the same men there every time arguing loudly.
But it’s a pretty good place for cheap quick light eats.

Great bakery! I went there every day of my vaction in Toronto. This bakery is cheap and great! The custards and tarts are wonderful and their long hours accommodated my wild hunger at 10 at night. This place is wonderful and the service is great! I would highly reccomend this spot to anybody

I came here to get some snacks with my girlfriend tonight, we ordered couple egg tarts and 2cups of coffees. the crown of egg trats are very hard to chew. the shape look fine, but clearly it’s not flesh, it’s different than what I had before, so I went to talk with the waitress friendly and nicely about the hard crown. However, the waitress in the store insisted that it was fresh and it was supposed to be like this. endup she didn’t charge me the ones that we didn’t eat. i am appreciate it, and I telling her that i am also sorry for the waste. However, her attitude was really bad and she threw away the rest of the egg tarts into the garbage bin, right in front of me! This is just too rude. I will never come to this place again. Again, the bakeries are not fresh and the service is bad.

The bakeries are not fresh. This is my second time to go to this place. Last time I tried their egg tarts, it was good. This time, horrible. The crust is so hard to chew on. I felt like I really needed metal teeth for it. I wondered why it was so different so my boyfriend talked to them nicely and friendly. However, the waitress in the store insisted that it was fresh and it was supposed to be like this. This was fine because she didn’t charge us the ones that I didn’t eat. I said sorry for this. However, her attitude was really bad and she threw away the rest of the egg tarts into the garbage bin, right in front of my boyfriend! This is just too rude. I will never come to this place again. Again, the bakeries are not fresh and the service is bad.

Nice Portuguese bakery in the heart of little Italy. The custard tarts are delicious and nicely priced at 1.25 each. Some of the baked goods aren’t made in house but the buns and bread are fresh and very popular. They supply to some of the restaurants around Toronto so you know it’s good stuff. Staff is abundant and very friendly. There are tables for dine in but I’ve yet to sit down and have a coffee there. Affordable pricing, free wifi and a popular destination for cheap good eats. The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is the tiramisu as it was mostly just cream but definitely try the other baked goods and don’t forget the bread! Carb-​aphobes are missing out!

Stumbled upon this little bakery walking around College St as we were cold and needed a snack. Great pastries, well priced and friendly service. My husband and I each had a coffee, couple pastries and purchased 7 tarts to take home and the bill came to $ 17! The custard tarts are delicious, will need to come back to get more and try their grilled cheese sandwich next time!

Came here with my girlfriend last night for a snack after very filling Tex-​Mex at Sneaky D’s. We ordered three pastries, one custard tart, one egg custard donut thing and one strawberry moose tart. It set us back the princely price of $ 5.All the pastries were amazing, especially the custard tart and the strawberry. Great atmosphere as well with lots of Portuguese hospitality.

Ridiculously cheap and good! I had a regular cup of coffee, a grilled cheese sandwich, and a custard tart, which only cost $ 6! They have variety of breads, pastries and sweets which I assume all cheaper than the average and they all looked so good!
Very friendly service and vibrant atmosphere. A little bit noisy but that’s kind of a positive effect for being in Little Italy.
If you wanna grab something quick, simple, casual, and cheap yet very tasty, this is the place! Definitely worth trying!

Having been to Wvrst many times and loving the bun which their sausages are served in, I read the story of Wvrst and found out that their buns come from Golden Wheat in Little Italy.
I’m not in that area often but I finally made a point to go in and pick up some stuff before heading home after a Saturday morning run to Hey Meatball.
From Golden Wheat, I ordered 2 buns and since some of my group stayed for a drink, I also ordered a medium coffee and a Portugese tart. When they rang in the total, to my surprise, it was only $ 3.30.
When it actually came time to consuming my purchase, the bun was as I remembered it at Wvrst and both the coffee and tart were delicious.
This place deserves its rating based on both quality and price. I just wish I lived closer.

sorry guys but for me this is not a good one.
some bakeries come from outside stores, some really did not taste fresh at all, whereas some are relatively unique to this place and can be good, although not to die for!
bread perhaps is ok. croissants could be good if the waitress had not forgotten to put the one I ordered in my bag… hence i may go again to run the croissant tasting test

After having tried several of their pastries, I’m compelled to up my rating. It’s a Portuguese bakery and the pastries are quite unique and delicious. I’ve never paid more than 2 bucks for a pastry here. They have a different variety every day. They also have a sandwich menu, with most running within a price range of 2 – 4 bucks. They’re open till 1 am most days.

My favourite Portuguese Bakery in Toronto!
Their coffees are always done properly and delicious. The desserts and bread are always fresh. They always have hot fresh bread in the morning and throughout the day! Super sweet staff and great customer service!
This is my go to bakery!

A few friends and I wondered into the Golden Wheat after learning that they provide the delicious bread used by the Fish Store across the street!
The spacious bakery dabbles in everything from breads to all things custard, and is managed by some very friendly people. The large container of caramel flan for $ 6 was too good a deal to pass up, and our group of 4 enjoyed generous portions of the delicious desert with quite a bit leftover.
Overall Goden Wheat wins thanks to its great value and tasty flan. I’ll be back when I have the cravings.

This place is swell!
Truly decent lattes, and reasonably priced sandwiches. Their simple grilled cheese is a College St. staple of mine, and I love eating it at their tiny wooden tables. If you’re a sweets lover, this place will soon be your paradise.
They have free wifi and it’s a real pleasure to spend the afternoon sitting somewhere that consistently smells like baking bread.
PEPPER PLEADS TO THE PEOPLE don’t give up on gluten or wheat unless you actually must. Get a grip, people! Carbs are divine, and your bad moods aren’t worth the three pounds you lost.

Who makes a delicious, firm on the inside, crunchy on the top Marble Pound Cake and sells it for $ 7 dollars? No One. Except for Golden Wheat Bakery!
Believe me, I’ve tried. I cannot make a pound cake for under $ 15.
That’s what SO great about Golden Wheat. You get great comfort food pastries at an excellent price point. Forget about paying $ 2.95-$ 4.25 for a fruit square or brownie at those ‘boho chic’ places. This is the place to get your sugary fix.
Located in Little Italy, this is a ‘Portuguese’ Bakery. And with that, comes amazing rich and creamy Custard Tarts, tangy Coconut and Lemon pastries, hefty fruit or nut Coffee Cakes, great Corn Bread and excellent white Fresh Rolls and Bread for sandwiches.
The sweet fare is not overly sweet. Baked goods have a yummy aroma and a ‘homey’ appearance.
My favorites: Walnut Squares (healthy yet decadent), Custard Tarts and that $ 7 dollar Pound Cake :-)
Free WiFi. Great Location. Patio for People Watching.

Une boulangerie, une pâtisserie et un café portugais de qualité ! Des croquettes à la morue jusqu’aux pain au maïs en passant par les padua et la baguette, tout y est bien fait et avec goût. Le service est tout aussi excellent et souriant.

Popped in for a coffee and a cannoli in this Little Italy coffee shop. Nice and bright with a friendly atmosphere. The brew was artistically made and like most Eastern Canadian places they put the cream and sugar in for you. The pastry selection will satisfy any sweet tooth. They also do sandwiches and paninis.

Golden Wheat is a nice bakery to go to when you’ve got a sweet tooth, but yet haven’t got a clue as to what you’re craving for. The many spic and span display cases are chock full of assorted vibrant desserts which are bound to make it difficult to pick and choose. As I have only visited late in the evenings after dinner, it isn’t usually busy at all, so I can do my twice over before finalizing my decision.
The crème caramel is one of my favourites, but on less indulgent days, the bars and tarts are just as satisfying. To wash everything down, nice little pots of tea come in single servings.
The counter service staff at night seem to be quite young and rather easy going. The long room features a wavy banquette as well as clusters of small tables which are perfect for reading a paper or catching up with a friend at.

Grilled cheese. The holy grail of sandwiches. Simply mention that a certain place makes a mean grilled cheese and I’m there.
The grilled cheese at Golden Wheat is the only thing I’ve eaten there. I guess I need to go back and try something else. But really the grilled cheese is fantastic.
Made with a crispy bun roll type thing and a nice hard but not to strong cheese and grilled panini style. Yeah I know. Your mouth is watering.
Oh. AND it’s inexpensive? Great job Golden Wheat. Great job.
* But really I’ll go back and try some other stuff soon!

Golden Wheat is a great bakery and they really know how to make their pastry. I agree with Erin, the custard tarts are really good but go for the cream filled thing (doughnut? no not really, just a large oval looking thing filled with crème) TRUST ME it’s amazing!!!
I’m also pretty sure this place isn’t open 24 hours but late usually until 1 or 2 a.m. which is still a plus because I’ve only been there after 10 anyways.
