North Pole Bakery
2024 Feb 24
Stepping into this small Italian bakery felt like taking a journey back in time. I had the pleasure of chatting with one of the owners, a delightful old lady who shared fascinating stories of her family's multi-generational business journey. It was heartwarming to hear about their dedication to preserving tradition and the love they pour into their craft.

My visit wasn't just a trip down memory lane; it was a heartfelt mission to find special cookies for my grandmother, reminiscent of those she used to lovingly bake herself. And this bakery turned out to be a true treasure trove, offering a wide selection of cookies that brought back fond memories of her homemade treats. The staff, too, exuded warmth and hospitality, guiding me through their offerings with genuine care.

While browsing, I couldn't resist trying their arancini, and let me tell you, they were nothing short of heavenly. Each bite was a burst of flavor, leaving me craving more. However, I must admit, the bread didn't quite meet my expectations. Despite being made in-house, it lacked the wow factor I anticipated.

Nevertheless, my overall experience at this bakery was nothing short of delightful. From the heartwarming stories to the mouthwatering treats, it's evident that this place is steeped in tradition and passion. I'll definitely be returning for more of those unforgettable arancini and perhaps exploring more of their delectable offerings."

I love coming to this park and i am so glad it's just a 20 min walk away from home. The place is very well maintained, there are beautiful trees all over, play ground for kids, a big wide open field for kids to run around, or for people to chill. There a pretty big dog area as well, for all the dog owners and dog lovers to come around.
I personally love to come here on days off just to look at dogs interacting.
This park gives me a sense of peace, everyone seems to enjoy their time here.
One of the best community parks in East York area. Definetly worth a visit, especially now with all the foliage.

Ottima la scelta dei piatti e vini durante l Happy Hour. Ma il servizio è decisamente pessimo, da migliorare.
Ci hanno assegnato una cameriera ed è sparita per la maggior parte del tempo che siamo rimaste li
Abbiamo dovuto chiedere più volte di portarci acqua o per ordinare qualcosa.
Da quando ci siamo sedute al tavolo abbiamo atteso ben 40 min, prima che si facesse vivo qualcuno, nonostante i numerosi richiami.
Non comprendo l idea di essere serviti da diversi camerieri esempio uno che serve il vino, e altri che portano i piatti, ma per le ordinazioni solo la stessa persona costantemente assente.
Non credo sia il modo di trattare la clientela e poi pretender pure la mancia.
