Breadhead Bakery is a one-woman bakery by pastry chef, Lucy Kirby who started the venture during the pandemic.
Known for her Bagel Bombs, a little brioche bun filled with cream cheese and chives, and everything bagel seasoning on top, Breadhead offers classics with a little added extra that makes it special.
It is hard to describe, but there is a reason why Breadhead sells out. Their goodies can be found at White Squirrel Coffee Shop on Queen West, across from Trinity Bellwoods Park, either by picking up pre-orders or walk-ins. Breadhead also offers delivery up to a certain kilometers from White Squirrel.
I opted for delivery because they are located in the west end; they are close to my in-laws, but during the pandemic, we have not been able to visit.
My initial order, I only got two bombs, but for the Canada Day long weekend, Breadhead offered half dozen for $30, so I got a box to share with my husband, brother and parents. I did not have any due to the cheese, but I did have a bite of the bread part, which is soft and salty from the seasoning.
Cinnamon Sugar Cruller ($3 each)
My favourite from Breadhead are the Crullers, a deep-fried choux confection. They were eggy and melt-in-your-mouth. I avoid the multi-national chain, Tim Hortons that almost everyone believe to be a part of Canadian identity (it isn't even Canadian owned anymore!) because of shitty coffee and their donuts aren't even store baked (it used to be), but if I had no choice, my go-to is their honey crullers. Breadhead is 1000x better.
One dozen mixed Crullers ($20)- vanilla glazed, cinnamon sugar and rainbow sprinkles
Half dozen mixed crullers were available during the Canada Day long weekend, and I ended up getting two and gave half to my brother and parents. My mom loves crullers and my love of crullers stems from her.
Huge portion of a cinnamon bun with a huge dollop of cream cheese frosting!
Individual size Confetti Cake
While the confetti cake is individual sized, it is perfect to share for two people. Surprisingly, it isn't sweet, but it's definitely a treat-yourself because it's your birthday, or someone's birthday type of cake.
Right: Sourdough Donut ($3.25)
When I think of sourdough, I think of sourdough bread, but I have come across recipes that uses sourdough discards in cookies and other baked goods. It is a pretty good!
Chocolate chip Cookie ($15 for half dozen)
The chocolate chip cookies have a bit of miso paste, which I never thought of adding to cookies, but they work as it adds a little bit of saltiness to the cookies.
I love Breadhead, they are pretty much my go-to for treat-yourself treats.
