The Mid Autumn Festival is coming up for 2022 on Sept. 10, and thankfully there are many places in Toronto to get one of the snacks most associated with the holiday: mooncakes. Now, there are lots of places to get these tiny, intricate treats but only some make them in-house themselves, and they sell fast so you'll want to order quickly.
Here are some places that make their own mooncakes in Toronto.
Saint Germain Bakery
This bakery with multiple locations, many in malls, has teamed up with Sugar Marmalade this year for a special rose white-chocolate snowy mooncake for $39.99 for a box of four. They also do salted egg yolk custard mooncakes, and have even been known to make giant mooncakes.
Hazukido
House mooncakes are available for pre-order only at Atrium, Shops at Don Mills and North York locations of this bakery known for their eye-popping croissants. Sets come with two equally amazing-looking cakes in each flavour: taro, date paste and walnut, and butter soybean paste with mochi.
