GIANT cinnamon buns have landed in Toronto 🤩 #toronto #torontofood #torontofoodie #torontoeats #yyzeats

3/14 Edited to

If you're in Toronto and have a sweet tooth like me, you can't miss The Eighth Son. Nestled inside the 4th Man in the Fire pizza place, this spot offers more than just your average cinnamon bun. What blew me away was the size — truly giant and fluffy, making every bite melt in your mouth. From my experience, the three-day preparation really pays off, giving the buns a unique softness and flavor that stands out from typical bakery treats. Besides the cinnamon buns, The Eighth Son has a fascinating multi-concept vibe, combining great sandwiches with dessert offerings all under one roof. I found myself wanting to come back for their other items, as the quality and creativity exceed expectations. For locals or visitors craving something special in Toronto’s food scene, this hidden gem is worth the search and definitely deserves a spot on your foodie bucket list.
