A wall of bread — a carb lover’s dream — greets you the moment you step into the tiny Bread + Butter Bakery. And despite its small space, its menu punches above its weight.
The Riverdale cafe and bakery has built its reputation on, naturally, bread. Known for their loaves of sourdough, focaccia and baguettes, Bread + Butter offers just about every type of loaf, from multigrain to whole wheat and traditional white bread.
The process to bake each loaf takes 20 hours — and it’s well worth the wait. Bread + Butter’s sourdough is crusty, complex tasting and airy inside.
Although most famous for its bread, Bread + Butter also offers coffee and house-made items like whipped butters that come in different flavours, like herb and garlic, and everything (as in bagel). The pastry case is also stocked with small-batch loaves, muffins and cookies.
The menu is always changing, with different feature focaccias, savoury puff pastries and cupcakes that deserve to be described as ambitious — toppings like an entire piece of baklava or an Oreo.
Whether you’re stopping in for a coffee and a sweet treat, or just your weekly loaf of sandwich bread, the offerings at Bread + Butter are excellent. Grab a seat on the patio while you’re there and enjoy the ambience of the neighbourhood, where families brunch, couples walk dogs and neighbours stop for a chat — the bread and butter of the neighbourhood.
