Since opening in the late 1970s, Carousel Bakery has become a Toronto must-visit for anyone craving its famous Peameal Bacon Sandwich. There’s something about that simple combination of thick, juicy bacon on a soft bun that keeps people coming back, and it’s easy to see why it’s become a city classic. The bakery is always buzzing with energy, especially on market mornings, and watching the staff handle orders with speed and precision adds to the charm. It also offers freshly baked breads and pastries that pair perfectly with a coffee from one of the nearby stalls.

What makes Carousel Bakery special isn’t just the food. It's being part of a long-standing Toronto tradition. It’s one of those places where locals and visitors alike trade stories over lunch, laugh in line, and leave feeling satisfied. A stop here is more than a meal; it’s a little taste of Toronto history you’ll want to return to.
