What started as a humble baking hobby in a home kitchen has blossomed into one of Canada’s most charming Filipino dessert spots. Parley and Charmaine, with no formal business background, dove headfirst into entrepreneurship and let their passion guide them. That fearless, learn-as-you-go spirit helped them bypass the overthinking that often stops dreams in their tracks. From renting a commercial kitchen in Scarborough to finding their perfect space in Whitby, the couple has built Tito Parley’s into a cozy brick-and-mortar bakery at 104 Lupin Drive. Here, they craft premium Silvanas using the finest ingredients, local Ontario butter from a small creamery, freshly roasted nuts, and creative flavor pairings that elevate the classic treat.
Their Silvanas stand out for their innovative twists on beloved Filipino snacks. Flavors like Turon Silvanas, featuring saba and langka French buttercream wrapped in toasted lumpia crisp, bring waves of nostalgia with every bite. Other creations draw from childhood favorites such as Champorado and Halo-Halo, or Toronto café inspirations like Cardamom Pistachio. As a genuine modern mom-and-pop shop, Tito Parley’s offers more than desserts it delivers warm, personal connections. Customers walk in to meet Parley and Charmaine, share life updates, and enjoy treats made with heart rather than factory precision. Now supplying select Toronto restaurants and growing their wholesale presence, this Whitby gem continues to spread joy one handcrafted Silvana at a time.
