Puuffy Bakery Grand Opening: $3 Pistachio Affogato (Oct 24-25)

Chinatown has a sweet new reason to line up this weekend. Puuffy Bakery, a Turkish-inspired bakery at 439 Spadina Avenue, celebrates its grand opening on October 24 and 25 with a deal that is hard to walk past: pistachio affogato and croissant ice cream sandwiches, each just $3, from 12 PM to midnight. And the sweetness does not stop there. From October 26 to 31, every ice cream scoop is $3.

What makes it special

A Turkish-inspired bakery is still a rare sight in Toronto, and Puuffy is leaning into it. The headline act is the pistachio affogato: pistachio ice cream drowned in a shot of espresso, the kind of East-meets-West dessert that photographs as good as it tastes. The croissant ice cream sandwich is the other star: flaky, buttery pastry wrapped around a slab of ice cream, built for the grand opening crowd.

Opening weekend pricing is the real story here. At $3 each, the affogato and the sandwich cost less than a regular coffee downtown. For a brand-new bakery trying to win a neighbourhood, that is a confident move: get the product into as many hands as possible, and let the dessert do the talking.

What to expect

Expect a walk-in celebration, not a ticketed event. Show up between 12 PM and midnight on October 24 or 25, order the $3 specials at the counter, and find a spot to enjoy them. Grand openings draw lines, so earlier in the day is the safer bet if you want the full pick of the menu.

If you miss the weekend, the deal stretches into the following week. From October 26 to 31, every ice cream scoop is $3, which makes Puuffy an easy stop for anyone passing through Spadina and College all week long.
