Our story
A quiet neighbourhood bake shop on College Street — Korean warmth, French technique, and a case that turns over fast.
Neighbourhood bakery
On , the shop introduces itself as Soyoung Lee’s “Your Friendly Neighborhood Bakery Shop” — a small, focused room where laminated pastries sit next to Korean-style buns and savouries.
Toronto press has described Bricolage as a Brockton Village shop on College, run by Soyoung Lee as baker and patissier, with laminated dough, croissants, custard buns, and standout savouries such as the fried curry bun and potato–bacon epi ( blogTO, 2022).
Why “Bricolage”
Bricolage means making something thoughtful from what’s at hand — fitting for a bakery that brings together different traditions in one counter. We don’t try to be loud; we try to be precise with butter, time, and recipe.
What we bake
Guests and local write-ups point to the same stars: fried curry buns (crisp outside, savoury filling), almond croissants, red bean butter bread, pain d’epi (wheat-stalk baguettes) and stuffed savouries, plus espresso to go ( Hello Petite Foodie, 2024). The full case changes day to day — see the curated menu page for a fuller list from public sources, or the quick snapshot on the home page.
Popular items can sell out early; if you’re making a trip for something specific, come near opening or call ahead during open hours.
