  1. THE WORLD’S BEST BAKERIES WORTH A JOURNEY · 2026 ✦ ✦ N° 49 2026
Bartholomew Bakery

Bakery in Vaughan selling croissants, sourdough, focaccia sandwiches and espresso drinks. Its laminated pastries and in-house sourdough set it apart, and the shop has no seating.

Highlights

  • Sourdough loaves with chewy crust
  • Pistachio twice-baked croissant
  • Turkey and Swiss sandwich

Good to know

  • Lines form at busy times
  • Pastries and sourdough sell out early
  • No indoor seating, grab-and-go only
