World Class Bakers opened its doors three years ago, in the Wychwood Heights area of St. Clair Avenue West. It's become the neighbourhood's centre for gathering and for meetings.

It offers a coffee/espresso bar, and a full line of baked goods, like hourly-baked croissants and bagels, specialty breads, cookies and a wide choice of cakes. Patrons call its own cheesecake and carrot/walnut cake the best in the city.

The European & Vegetarian buffet serves hot meals - to take-out or enjoy in the 36-seat cafe. Patrons listen to classical music, in a warm décor of golden walls with wood-inlaid panelling.
