7 Baker

7 Baker is a sweet-smelling bakery making high-quality artisanal breads in all sorts of creative shapes and sizes. 

With a glistening exterior and a naturally-lit space, this store—which touts itself as Euro-Asian—smells as good as it looks. 

7 baker toronto7 Baker brings together several features of both Asian and European bakeries for a one-of-a-kind menu of croissants, buns, twists, and pockets, all baked fresh daily, sans preservatives.

These little pieces of charcoal bread don't actually contain any squid ink, but they are stuffed with a garlicky mix of sauce and squid inside.
