It's the end of the line for Pape Village stalwart, Hansen's Danish Pastry Shop, who has been serving everything from pies and tarts to Kranskage and, of course, danishes since 1963.
In 1991, when the owners of Anita's bakery retired, the shop closed. For a brief while, Halina worked at other Polish establishments in Toronto's west end before opening Sesame Pastry on Lakeshore.
Located in the Buda Castle area, this pastry shop opened in 1827 and has survived sieges, a revolution and World War II. The original Biedermeier-era interior and furniture is still in the shop today.
