Stonemill Bakehouse

Best feta spinach danish !! Good deals and don’t be afraid of the line up. ladies always work fast to get the line going ! Everything else is tasty I always bring back some bread & croissants for my co-​workers.

Pastries are perfectly flaky and crisp on the outside and pillowy soft inside with just the right amount of buttery sweetness. I found myself surprised at enjoying the multigrain croissant as I was worried it would be too dry and doughy, but that wasn’t the case at all.

I tried all of their croissants. The plain one is bland, not buttery. The almond croissant is also bland and dry. The chocolate one has very little chocolate inside.
So I thought maybe they just have a different style of croissant, I decided to try scone. Again it’s bland. It’s so dry I almost choked myself. After given them the benefit of the doubt I really don’t understand why this place is so popular.

We almost left St. Lawrence Market without even knowing there was a lower level. We chose to explore the downstairs in search of a dessert to share.
I picked a chocolate croissant from Stonemill. The croissant was just okay. The chocolate filling was sparse though. I’ve had better. It was overpriced for what we got.
There are a lot more options at Stonemill. Pastries, muffins, breads, bagels, it’s carb city, baby!
I don’t know that it’s fair to base a review solely on a chocolate croissant. Perhaps it’s better to stick with the breads?

Very good quality bake stuffs. I prefer to get there 15 mins after they open when everything is fresh out the oven. Muffins, cookies, croissants – multigrain is excellent, pastries everything is delicious. They have a new series of pastries, cheese & leek, sundried tomato, they are a bit overpriced at $ 2.00 given the size and that they are commercial not store made. Staff are efficient and busy people so if they are abrupt at times cut them some slack it’s a busy location.

Pretty much the only bread I buy: delicious, healthy, and all natural ingredients. A real throwback to European bread making. Their bagels are also delicious and hold up well after freezing. Oddly the price here can sometimes be higher than the grocery stores that stock Stonemill. Also I think they shut down shop earlier than the other places at St Lawrence.

Usually my last stop after a meal at the market to grab a dessert. I usually get something sweet such as their almond or chocolate croissant. Prices are not bad at all for these smaller pastries. I think I might grab a baguette next time and try some different cheeses and deli meats around the market for lunch.

This is a place with some of the best pastries and on the other side — the most disrespectful customer service in city. I live just next to St. Lawrence Market and quite often coming straight from work here to buy bread or whatever. They are open till 6 p.m., however at 5:30 everything unsold is already packed in plastic bags, stored on racks behind the workers who are dressed and ready to leave. In other words this is classical «what the f**k you want, we are done for today» behaviour to us. If one single bun is left I want to see it on the shelf even at 5:59, not to point with my finger somewhere toward storage room behind grumpy face staff, asking what is that there.

We saw this place and had to get something. Got some chocolate chip cookies which were pretty good and pastry with leeks and some other forgettable ingredient. The pastry was good but forgettable. Service was friendly. Glad we got a chance to try it.

Gotta try their croissants. Flakey, soft, melts in the mouth. So good!
Cheese danish was bomb also =)

If I were a superhero… no wait, scratch that. As a superhero, one of my biggest weaknesses is a good pastry. Am I’m always in search of flaky, sweet, buttery pastries. This is one battle where my sensible side always loses to my primal cravings.
So being in the St. Lawrence market area I decided to try Stonemill, which so many of my fellow Unilocal friends have said good things about.
The raspberry twist was pretty good, crisp, flaky and sweet, just as I like ‘em! And considering I got it late in the afternoon I’d love to try a fresh one in the early morn.
The chocolate almond danish was a bit of a disappointment. It was soft and buttery, but too soft for my liking and didn’t lend itself any texture. Maybe it’s cause I picked one up late in the afternoon — but it is what it is.
They ran $ 1.59 each.
4 stars for the raspberry twist, 2 stars for the chocolate almond danish, so 3 stars overall. I’d come back to try some of their other breads and pastries next time I’m in the area. Meanwhile, I’m going to hit the gym…

I discovered this hidden gem and the rest of the Unilocalers need to know about it! The bakery was recommended by a date, in fact, we had our date at St Lawrence Market. I only tasted their corn muffin and let me tell you — it was exquisite.
I was impressed with the vast array of pastries and breads. Their marble yogurt cake (baked using a bundt cake pan) was absolutely beautiful! But I resisted.
But I will go back. I encourage all. The corn muffin was good, and I will continue going and tasting their other selections.

Recently found this place on the lower level of the St. Lawrence Market and what a treat this was. I was just looking for a loaf of light rye bread and they had exactly what I was looking for plus a plethora of other varieties all fresh baked. Because I don’t like to freeze my bread I only grabbed one loaf and then when checking out I was tempted by their fresh bagels. Not a lover of bagels I figured I would still give them a shot.
I must say I was very impressed by both the bagels and the bread. They were very reasonably priced and I will definitely be visiting the Stonemill Bakehouse several more times to buy fresh breads!
Next time I go I am going to go for one of their more flavourful/​fancy breads that they do like a pumpkin seed and cranberry bread, or something along those lines!
BIG fan!

Let me just begin with this: I have yet to try something that I don’t like!
Since I work in the area, I stop by Stonemill twice a week to pick up bread for my family.
My husband loves the cheese croissants, our son devours the pretzel sticks and muesli bagels.
My favorites are the ciabatta buns (- try to those toasted and topped with tomatoes!) and mulitgrain paninis (- eat it with Nutella — it’s so yummy!).
We have also had the cranberry walnut bread a few times and it never lasted longer than a few hours.
I also find their sweet bakery items very good.
I’ve tried the chocolate croissant, the almond croissant as well as the chocolate cherry muffin so far and everything tasted great.

While there are a number of bakeries in St. Lawrence Market, I settled on Stonemill (located in the lower level) because of the myriad of bread and the chocolate almond croissant seemed to be screaming out my name. Love chocolate croissants and the almonds was like extra icing on an already iced cake. The croissant was slightly crusty on the outside and flaky with a dark chocolate centre. It was topped off with a lot of almonds that while some fell into the bag there was enough left on the croissant to devour.
The pastries were pretty cheap here. The croissants & danishes (they have a variety of flavours for both) were only $ 1.49/each. If you buy 6 of them you get the 7^th for free. Sweet! (Pun fully intended). While I didn’t give into my inner fatty, this is definitely etched into my mind for the next time I come.
Yummeh in my tummeh.
Note: If you buy a loaf of bread you can have it sliced at the cash register.

The whole strudel is excellent and sells out before 10 or 11 am.

My first experience with Stonemill Bakehouse was at a Metro grocery store. I bought a loaf of their Flax & Honey Bread and was instantly hooked. Savory AND low on calories. It wasn’t before long that I made my way down to their actual storefront at the St. Lawrence Market where I’ve discovered even more goodies! My new favourites are now Cranberry-​Walnut Bread (you can totally skip any jam or spread and just devour as is!) and the Cranberry-​Pumpking Seed Bread. Their staff are always friendly.
I have also purchased the brioche and made French Toast with it, however, I found it to be a bit dry. I also purchased some croissants for brunch one day. Their chocolate-​almond croissant was really yummy, but I did not like the fact that their plain almond croissants were shaped like danishes… a Croissant is a Croissant! If anything, the Pain au Chocolat (aKa Chocolate Croissants are more commonly shaped as danishes).
In closing, they have great breads, but their pastries are just so-​so.

UGH. I *just* got back into my gym routine, and along comes Stonemill Bakehouse with the audacity of presenting me with a flaky, gooey pastry that goes by the name of Raspberry Twist.
I also lay partial blame to Sarah L. for already derailing Operation: Don’t Be A Fatty™ (
) so early in the year by steering me towards the Stonemill counter at St. Lawrence Market this morning, all the while chanting in a hushed whisper: «RASPBERRY TWIST. RASPBERRY TWIST. RASPBERRY TWIST!!!1»
We served ourselves, settled up at the cash ($ 1.56 apiece with tax) and then simul-​consumed (virtually) our Raspberry Twists together as an afternoon snack later in the day while chatting on MSN.
Yes, we’re geeks like that.

This is a hopping bakery on Saturday’s.
I am a big fan of their pretzel bagels and chocolate croissants. Pretzel bagels you ask — yes, they are amazing! Imagine the density of a bagel, with the exterior flavour of a pretzel (minus the salt). These (along with their pretzel rolls) go fast. One Saturday when I wake up at the crack of dawn I will trek down to the Market to see what they have fresh out of the oven.
Stonemill’s location is on the bottom floor, at the back of the building. Staff are friendly and very helpful.
