I spoke with the owner and baker of the place and he told me that he makes all of his mixes fresh and doesn't order anything pre-made.

I wasn't surprised from the quality of his products. Check this place out and you won't be disappointed.

I came upon this cute little place on a long walk, and just had to go inside. The "kawaii" outlook…read morewas super cute and wholesome, and it was packed on the inside with adorable little plushies, quaint little bits and bobs from Japan and yummy snacks which plastered the shelves. The staff there were super welcoming and kind, sitting to have a chat with us and giving us the best recommendations on what to buy. There's a good assortment of bubble tea, coffees and teas but the highlight is the adorable desserts and cakes they have on display. We opted for a tiramisu chocolate cup and the passion fruit and mango tiger and they did not fail to disappoint! Packed full of flavour but in the most light and refreshing way, that left me wanting more and more. 10/10 recommend!

I don't know what I missed out on compared to other reviews here, but no way is this a 5 star…read morespecialty bakery. I thought I'd be satisfied based on the other reviews here, but buying a cake from this pseudo high end bakery was the biggest disappointment and biggest waste of $200.00 ever. After reading the rave reviews, I checked out their website and was indeed impressed with the multitude of product photos. One of them was so in line with what I was after, I called and placed an order for an exact replica of this previous creation, the only difference being the number (50 instead of 16). I requested red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. No new creative brainstorming required. They had a full week's notice for this one carbon copy cake so compared to the review that said they had no problem doing a full sweet table for a party on 3 days' notice, Idk what jacked up the price on this 6" cake to $200.00. I figured this is going to be one perfect cake. I called an hour before pickup to confirm for myself that it was ready and in I came to get it. It was waiting in the back so I waited on it to be brought out and when it did, it looked ok, if a little small. They brought it to the store front to take their stock photo and then had to figure out how to package it. I was pretty surprised when they brought out a regular little box to try to contain this cake for me to bring home, and watched in disbelief as they started figuring out how to finish the job with saran wrap and scotch tape. Yes, really, a tiny little regular cake box not even half the height of the cake, and the girl is pushing down the insert decorations all the way into the cake and applying saran wrap in pieces over it with scotch tape. I am very lucky I was a passenger with someone else driving, because I would have been terrified to have it sitting by itself in a moving car. When I did get it home, the packaging nightmare continued as I spent more than 5 minutes trying to remove the saran wrap taped all over the outside of the box while it stuck to the fondant decorations inside. When I finally got it out of the box, I could see the imperfections on the finish - finger smudge prints on the icing and loose ribbon on the bottom edge. And in the end, it didn't taste any better than a cake made from scratch by any other custom baker, or at home. It was competent, nothing more. Absolute waste of $200.00. Never again.

Definitely a 5 star bakery! Ordered a birthday cake for my son and it was the most awesome cake!!!…read moreThe chocolate cake was soooo rich and moist. The design seriously blew my mind. The owner replied to my emails timely and was great about us changing some details of the design of the cake the week before. All the guests raved about the cake and loved how great it tasted. Highly recommend it. I'm always scared of start off businesses becoming big and lose their passion then the quality of the food starts to decline. So please keep up the good work! E&R!!!

The bakery is on the smaller side but has a table that can seat 8 people. The owner/baker provided us plates, cutlery, and a knife to cut the cake with! The cake was delicious with whipped cream like frosting and creamy texture (not too sweet). Apparently the honey cake is a favourite here - I'll have to come back to try it! The hospitality here was amazing and they even helped take our group photos at the end!

Local Afghani bakery in Vaughan... What a gem! I came here originally because I saw online that…read morethey sell honey cake, and ended up walking out with MOCHA honey cake and trying Afghani ice cream for the first time. The Afghani ice cream had such an interestingly pleasant texture and rich milk & cardamom flavor. They have two sizes, small (closer like a medium tbh) for $8 or large for $16. The portion is quite large, its stretchy texture allows it to sit on top of itself like a soft serve would. It came topped with crushed pistachios and what I believe was condensed milk? If you've ever had rasmalai before, this ice cream tastes exactly like it. SO GOOD. Mocha honey cake was decent, the texture was on point but I wasn't the biggest fan of the frosting (like a buttercream??) and caramel they used, which is why I docked a star. It was also $9 per slice. I think mocha is a cool spin on traditional medovik, but my expectations were a bit different since I'm used to the traditional Eastern European version where the frosting base should be made with sour cream. Their staff is very hospitable & the atmosphere is cute and very clean. Aside from cakes, pastries, and ice cream, they also sell gelato, large quantities of high quality saffron, organic dried nuts, mulberries, and raisins! Overall, cool spot with a unique dessert I'd highly recommend people from other backgrounds should give a try. The Afghan ice cream is really good and honestly the only thing I'd stick to if I came back.

3.5 stars. Really…read moreliked their gelato - got dark chocolate and strawberry. While the texture was a bit icey (expected since it was vegan), the flavours were really strong. Bonus points for having vegan/regular and gelato/icecream options to choose from. This hit the spot on a hot summer day. That said, also got their chocolates which were pretty but disappointingly average. You'd think it was artisanal chocolate based on how it looked, but ended up tasting fairly generic. Not bad, but not good and memorable either. While I think Avoca is 3 stars, I'm tagging it at 3 here on Yelp given the price - both the gelato and chocolates were expensive for the amount you got. It's a cute little shop on the Danforth and I hope people support small businesses. That said, I can't lie that Avoca isn't a must-visit for me.

Visited Dolce Bakery on a weekend and it is conveniently located a short distance from Rosedale…read moreStation. My first visit and I was excited to try their sourdough bread. At first glance, it is a small shop with a selection of pastries and sourdough bread available. There were sandwiches, coffees and other options on the menu as well. Service was OK and nothing stood out to be honest. Service was slow even though there was (1) couple ahead of me and I was also not greeted upon entering. The person's tone was not very friendly either and left me feeling unwelcome. The shop was quiet on a Sunday afternoon and there were friendly locals sitting outside on the bench. I ordered a Latte and the sourdough bread to go. The latte I received was extremely hot in temperature and it was disappointing. Sourdough bread is OK but unfortunately it wasn't as expected. I don't think I'll be returning as much as I want to like this place but I'll be going back to my usual bakery for bread.

This is a quaint pastry bakery located on parliament…read more We got a mixed box of croissants. Plain croissant - these croissants are more on the crispy side but it's so good. Inside has lots of layers of soft buttery croissant dough - delicious. The chocolate croissant has a really nice rich chocolate drizzle on top and layer inside.

There's an almond paste layer in the middle that has a great almond flavor and isn't too sweet. Price: Pretty consistent pricing with downtown pastries with great quality.

Since the start of the pandemic, they have stopped doing this (even with Stage 3 in Toronto). I happen to find Staij & Co on Instagram and noticed that they sold fresh croissants and coffee beans for delivery. Also, their croissants looked delicious from the photos so I had to try this place! Anyway, I decided to bring my parents' favourite activity to them. For my parents, I ordered the variety of croissants - plain, Nutella and almond along with two bags of Pilot Coffee and a box of Spokane tea. My dad raved about all three types of croissants so I decided to try them myself. I ordered the same variety pack. Staij delivers to you, free of charge. However, it is only on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Check out their website as they also do birthday cupcakes. We ordered half a dozen for a friend; they were decorated beautifully with 'Happy Birthday.' Our friend was pleasantly surprised for a delicious treat delivery to their home on the special day. Good for: baked goods, gifts, free delivery, coffee, tea

You'll find your standard flavours here if you're looking to satisfy a craving but what I enjoy most about visiting here is that there are always new flavours and types of goodies on rotation (this week when I visited there was a Birthday Cake flavour!) You'll find macarons here, gluten-free cupcakes and even lactose-free cupcakes too. Cupcakes are $3.50 each, or 6 for $19. If you're overwhelmed and not sure what to try first - Get yourself a Chocolate Salted Caramel Cupcake and a latte. After you have either one of these you'll be a fan.
