Hi! We’re nutmeg bakeshop; a from-scratch bakery, where everything is hand made daily. We believe that scratch-made is always better, so everything from our salted caramel sauce, to our lemon curd, to our candied pecans, are all made in-house. We are also an ingredient-driven bakery (relying on seasonal ingredients), which is something that is reflected in our rotating menu. When it comes to presentation, our philosophy is simple. We believe that cakes should look like cakes, and so we have no desire to build anything beyond delicious-looking.

Though our products are always pretty, they are never fussy; their charm comes in the anticipation of eating them. So whether you prefer a perfectly humble chocolate chip cookie, or the more sophisticated almond croissant, we’ve got something for you to indulge in and celebrate with.

Meet the Bakers

TIM is our bread + croissant baker, and is responsible for developing the bread menu here at nutmeg bakeshop. Having worked for both small business bakeries, and a large scale baked goods manufacturer, he left his position at the latter to join nutmeg bakeshop full time in 2015. If you are a fan of our sourdough, you can thank Tim, as he has been feeding our sourdough starter for the last four and a half years (seriously, this starter has accompanied Tim multiple times to both Montreal and New York City).

SARAH has a hand in almost all of the products on our shelves. If you have eaten a cookie, bar, tart, croissant, cruffin, loaf of bread, or scone, Sarah either made it, or aided in one or more of the steps to make it. Having studied culinary management at George Brown, she has a knack for turning unexpected flavour combinations into something delicious.

MEGAN is the founder of nutmeg bakeshop, and our cake-baker. After realizing that her love of working in a kitchen outweighed any desire to complete her degree, she began nutmeg bakeshop with a booth at a farmers’ market in 2012. Meg is drawn to baking layer cakes for the simple reason that you can pack endless amounts of texture and flavour into the various components of a cake.
