153 Broadview Avenue Toronto, ON M4M 2E9
St. John's Bakery is one of Toronto's finest and unique artisan bakeries. We bake organic breads and sweets, made with certified organic flour, and natural and certified organic ingredients.
We also serve as a training ground for people on the margins of society seeking work experience. Bakery workers have included refugees, people struggling with addictions, people with emotional troubles or mental illness, and single parents struggling with poverty.
Our purpose is to be and to build an inclusive community through the gifts and the needs that each of us brings. This Community of Love is a place of healing and nourishment occurring through awakening the God-given dignity and value of each person, while responding to each person's needs.
Bread deals with living things, with giving life, with growth, with the seed, the grain that nurtures.
