Unbelievable assortment of baked goods! The owners are super nice, everything is beyond fresh and it’s almost as if they put something “magic” (love?!) in the bread that you’ll never want to eat regular bread again. The croissants, focaccia, buns, danishes, cinnamon buns will have you drooling! Let’s support our local businesses and making our waistlines a little thicker in the process. Thank you Crust Bakery, keep up the great work!!
I was excited about this neighbourhood bakery. So I picked up a whole wheat loaf and chocolate croissant. The croissant was fine. The whole wheat loaf was disappointing. It was way too airy and full of holes (see photo enclosed). Not to mention it is $6 for a small and very light loaf. I don't mind paying more for a good artisan loaf from local business but the loaf was not worth it. Maybe their sourdough is better? Just a note parking may be an issue especially in the weekend since it is limited
Went to this place on the weekend. Got some parking space at the condo area. I got an Apple Chausson, the puff pastry is crispy and the crust is full of texture, sweetness is right at the point, excellent tea time snack! Bought a sesame sourdough loaf, it was moist and soft, taste perfect whether toasted or not. I enjoy having them plain!
Crust Baking Company is a small bakery in Richmond Hill. The shop was a bit hard to find, as parking is in the rear of a commercial building but you need to either walk through a lobby or around the building to find the bakery.I purchased a latte and an almond croissant. The almond croissants are delicious although the one I got was a touch too crunchy on the exterior for my preference. It had lots of buttery flaky layers and crisp almond flakes, with a good amount of almond filling inside the croissant. I appreciated that it wasn’t overly sweet. They make a great oat milk latte as well - smooth, creamy and delicious which was just what I needed to cure my hunger and caffeine deprivation- induced headache.Crust offers lots of breads and savoury treats to choose from. Currently they limit indoor capacity to 2 people in the store. The high top table areas were cordoned off during stage 2 pandemic restrictions. I would definitely return if in the area to try their danishes and sourdough breads.
Had to come and try a few of their items based on reviews.Tried their almond croissant, apple fritter, and loaf of plain sourdough bread.Almond croissant was burnt. Not easy to tell with the white powdered sugar on top but it was. The almond filling was ordinary in that it tastes like the lower-end quality of almond flavour/paste. It doesn't have a good pleasant, nutty, robust almond flavour, but an almost sharp unpleasant flavouring.Apple fritter tasted really oily. It tasted as if it was either fried with bad/old oil or as if the pastry was a day or two old because the oiliness left on the pastry was no good. Very disappointed in this pastry because it was an item one of the owners/bakers highly recommended.The plain sourdough bread tasted quite sour. I know sourdough breads normally taste more sour relative to other bread but this was really a bit too sour. It was as if the bread was made with an immature sourdough starter and/or other factors that play into making a good sourdough bread. Otherwise, it had a crisp, almost dense outer layer that is soft on the inside.The shop is very cute. There's a small area in the shop by the entrance from yonge st where you can sit looking out the window with the view of yonge st. And more seating areas on the other entrance of the shop coming from the building where there are plants surrounding the seating area. You can also directly see what they bake and make as the workstation is visible from the purchasing counter.They also had items like shepherd's pie, pizza dough, jams, and pickled items. Small shop that carried lots of varied items.Parking was very tricky. Since the shop is located within a condo building on a big main street, we didn't really know where to park. Since we were only going for take out, we parked on yongehurst rd temporarily. There were a few other cars parked by this road as well. I would not recommend parking here if you're planning to dine in. You could potentially park on the other side of yonge st where there's a large parking space for the plazas then walk over.
Just one of the best experience that I have. Delicious, fresh and professional menu. Go there you won’t regret it.

Amazingly fresh bread and pastries. We got the almond croissant, pain au chocolate, and a chicken pot pie (pictured). Pain au chocolate was better than any that I've ever had. The owner brought out a warm chicken pot pie for us and it had the best crispy, buttery pastry with delicious creamy filling. They also have ice creamed honey and some other goodies that seemed pretty interesting. Would definitely go again.
So surprised to find such a good bakery in Richmond Hill. Croissants are fresh and crunchy - even though I got them late in the afernoon. Very reasonable price! Got a basic coffee and that was very good as well. Thank you for a nice threat for my Saturday afternoon - definitely will come back.
We moved to Richmond Hill from downtown Toronto during the pandemic, and one thing that we really missed was having access to quality bread from places such as Blackbird and Forno Cultura. We were absolutely thrilled to find Crust in Richmond Hill - the quality of the breads and pastries are incredible, probably the best that we’ve ever had!!! I am on a mission to try everything on the menu - so far I have not been disappointed by anything, and my favourite is definitely the almond croissant and sesame sourdough bread. The coffee is great too, and everyone who works there is super friendly.
