Goƻter Patisserie

A popular bakery is opening its second location in Toronto

Goƻter Patisserie is known for its flaky viennoiseries and fresh breads

GoĆ»ter Patisserie is gearing up to open its second location at Eglinton and Avenue this fall. Headed by pastry chef Rodney AllĆ©guĆØde, the North York pĆ¢tisserie, boulangerie, and chocolaterie is known for putting a modern riff on classic French baked goods. AllĆ©guĆØde cut his teeth in Michelin-starred restaurants like Fouquetā€™s and La Maison LenĆ“tre in Paris before opening GoĆ»terā€™s original location in 2016.

GoĆ»ter is a much-loved fixture at the nearby Eglinton Way farmersā€™ market, making Eglinton and Avenue a natural choice for the bakeryā€™s second brick-and-mortar location, according to general manager, Bianca Mazzi.

Fans of the bakery can expect to see a similar line-up of high-quality, housemade treats at its midtown location, with the North York outpost continuing to serve as its main production facility.

Everything at Goƻter is made fresh daily, including bread, such as sourdough loaves and focaccia, as well as flakey, 27-layer croissants.

In addition to croissants, the bakery features a variety of other ever-changing viennoiseries ā€” a term used to describe baked goods made using techniques similar to bread-making ā€” ranging from classics like pain au chocolate to Kouign-Amann, a dense croissant-like pastry.

Goƻter is also known for its hand-decorated chocolate bonbons, which come in rotating flavours like roasted hazelnut and matcha tea.

Mazzi hinted that the bakeryā€™s expansion to a second location is part of a larger upcoming project, but additional details are being kept under wraps for now.

GoĆ»ter is currently targeting a fall launch for its second location, but weā€™ll have to stay tuned for the official opening date.
