The Best Banana Bread in Toronto

The best banana bread in Toronto is dense, rich in banana flavour and beyond indulgent. There's not much better than a thick, moist (not sorry) slice of banana bread, enjoyed plain or studded with cinnamon, chocolate chips or nuts. Something about this treat is particularly nostalgic and comforting: it's not quite a cake and it differs from a muffin in texture and shape, but it's certainly sweet and delicious and suitable for breakfast, afternoon snack or even dessert. It's particularly wonderful alongside a hot cup of coffee or tea and luckily, a handful of bakeries and cafes in Toronto bake up this banana-infused snacking bread and sell it either by the loaf or in individual slices for your grab-and-go convenience. Check out our list below for the best spots in the city to pick up some banana bread!
