Closed for Renovations
Con Gusto is currently closed while we renovate our store.
During the closure, you can still find us at the St. Catharines Market on Thursdays and Saturdays, and the Welland Market on Saturdays.
Our prices will be increasing effective January 1, 2026 and we want to let you know why this is necessary.
Con Gusto means “in good taste,” and, for us, it’s more than just the name of our bakery. It’s a philosophy that involves ensuring our products are made with the highest quality ingredients and time-honoured processes.
Using only the best ingredients like real vanilla beans, imported butter from Normandy, and organic flour, is what allows us to make products that our customers can feel good about serving to their families. We have never used the mixes, food enzymes, and additives that chain bakeries and grocery stores rely on, and we never will.
Unfortunately, the cost of sourcing high-quality ingredients has increased significantly since 2021 when we last raised our prices. We have also been certified as a living wage employer since 2019, which has meant continual increases in pay rates for our staff as the cost of living has gone up.
Sourcing the best ingredients, using traditional processes, and treating our team equitably are at the core of what matters most to us, and we are very grateful for your ongoing support so that we can continue to make the products you love in the way they’re meant to be made.
Sincerely,
The Con Gusto Team
