HERITAGE
In 1979 the first St. Phillips Bakery opened its doors to business on Jane Street south of Wilson Avenue in Downsview. Joseph Bozzo’s dream was to build a successful business in his new country.

It wasn’t long before his son Robert, who shared his father’s passion, joined him. In the early years, producing 25 special order cakes per week was considered a great accomplishment. Before long customers began taking notice of their talent for decorating specialty cakes. At the same time their baked goods began gaining notoriety. As their product base expanded so did their customers.

Robert’s ambition convinced him that the business could expand and be successful. In 1989 a second St. Phillips Bakery opened its doors in the outer reaches of the expanding Toronto Metropolis. It wasn’t long before their reputation carried to their new store on Major Mackenzie Drive in Maple. From a modest 25 cakes they were bursting at the seams producing over 800 cakes per week.

As their fame grew across Toronto so did the many requests to expand. Robert Bozzo and family withstood the demands for many years. Finally Robert decided that he would consider the possibility only if he could create something special. With the help of talented designers and architects his vision was soon realized. In May of 2001, a third magnificent location greeted its customers. Their new Woodbridge location easily surpassed all expectations. The award winning design became an overwhelming success.

Today, St. Phillips’ tradition of decorating mastery has become a Toronto institution. The original store is no longer part of the chain but the customer base has continued to expand. The expansion requests continue. Robert only smiles and says, “Only if I can create something special”.
