Hodo Kwaja, a hidden gem in downtown Toronto, captivates with its handcrafted walnut cakes and innovative flavors, blending traditional Korean desserts with a Canadian twist. Each walnut cake is carefully shaped to resemble a walnut, filled with either sweet red bean paste or a unique mashed potato creation, offering a delightful surprise in every bite. The bakery’s Hotteok, made fresh three times daily, brings back nostalgic memories of winter mornings in Korea, while the Chun Byung and Madeleines provide a French-inspired touch.
