Easily one of the best bakeries I've visited in Toronto. My only disappointment is that I hadn't visited this place when I actually lived in Toronto! You have a wide selection of baked goods including challahs, turnovers, different types of croissants, danishes, and filed rotis. We got the spinach and feta croissant, cream cheese danish, and almond croissant. All were superb! The almond croissant easily compared to ones I had in the South of France and that tells you something! Also, their coffee is good too if you're in the mood for an afternoon pick me up!

A good bakery is harder to find than it would appear. The Absolute Bakery & Cafe is a very good find though! Before finding this place I would pick up buns at T.O. Fine Foods, and other breads at No Frills or Loblaws. Now I don't mind taking the extra few minute journey to get fresh bread that they always seem to have in abundance. Sometimes you have to wait in line for a little bit (the longest I have waited is probably 10 minutes), but it is well worth the wait. The selection of breads and other baked goods the carry is extraordinary for such a small shop. I have never been able to come up with a bread they didn't have, and I have asked for some pretty weird things when I am in that kind of mood. Everything that I have purchased from them has been fresh and very tasty. Not only would I recommend them to everyone in the area, but I will probably be in line right behind you!

The bread is pretty good, but the french custard tart is to die for. I am not joking; invent an occasion to buy one and put it in your face.

Hitotoki Japanese Bakery - Brown sugar walnut break

Hitotoki Japanese Bakery

What a gem! This bakery is tucked into the southeast corner…read moreof Yonge & College, and walking inside feels like stepping straight into Japan. The pastries and mochi breads are absolutely exquisite! I tried the black sesame mochi bread--light, pillowy, and filled with a delightful little white mochi surprise. The crème brûlée almond tart was incredible too, with its thick, eggy custard and a blueberry-almond center. And the Hitotoki matcha tart? Gorgeous and just perfect. It was my first visit, and I discovered the bakery through their 2nd-anniversary IG post. I bought about $20 worth of treats and got to spin their prize wheel--and I actually won the Grand Prize: a limited-edition gold Nespresso & milk frother kit! I literally jumped for joy. Yet another reason to love this incredible bakery!

It was okay. Tried three items:…read more Matcha Lava Tart - The staff said this had the strongest matcha flavour among their matcha items. But there was no "lava" at all... just a layer of cream sitting on a thick tart base. You do get some matcha flavour, but definitely not that rich and flowing matcha sauce I saw in those online reels. Matcha Mont Blanc - Too sweet. The green noodle-shaped topping is actually made from a kind of bean paste - not much matcha taste, but had a strong bean flavour instead. And again, it was too sweet to my liking. Taro Tart - This one was good. Taro-flavoured cream on top, with taro paste underneath, then a layer of custard with mochi at the bottom. Had a rich taro flavour. Still a bit sweet, but not as overwhelming as the Mont Blanc. Overall it was not bad, although TBH I haven't really found great matcha desserts in Toronto so far.

My wife wanted to go there so we went on 2023-01-31 mid-morning when there would more selection…read more They definitely have quite a selection of pastries and savoury food. My wife always judges a French Cafe by their Butter Croissant ($3.00) and she liked it! She also noticed all the  staff speak French sp it gives it even more legitimacy.  She also ordered a Flat White ($4.50) which was also good. I ordered a Plum Almond Tart ($7.25) because it was the prettiest. It was super delicious so it was definitely a good choice! Service was courteous and friendly. You place your order at the counter and bring it to your table. Someone will come around to clear the dishes when you are done It is a great place to have a nice casual time eating and socializing. They make all their food in-house in the basement. There are products for sale such as coffee beans, fruit syrup, maple syrup, smoked sauces, olive oil, scented soap, wine glassware, etc. I will definitely come back again to try other items. There is free WiFi. The neo-bisto is not wheelchair accessible since there are stairs leading up to the entrance. There are two gender-neutral washrooms. There is free street parking on their one-way south-bound street. Review 2023-017

Amazing place! I…read morecalled ahead to find out if they had this plum tart I purchased the first time I was there. Yet no one answered the phone. No problem. Hopped on my bike and a half hour later I was there. The friendly staff helped me by answering my question regarding eggs and which items did not have any in the recipes. This place was also super poppin' when I got there. It was earlish in the day around 10:30am and it seemed all the tables were pretty much taken. They are adding a dinner menu which is very exciting. Their pastries are phenomenal!!! Picked up a plum and pistachio tart, a chocolate mousse cake and an apple Danish for my mom. Plus a chocolate caramelized croissant. So much butter, and yet so good. Brought my container, which they happily used. The last time I visited this spot back in 2022, I vowed I would come back and take up space in that beautiful bay window seat. Yet I haven't followed through with that yet. One day. They also changed the name, since I was there last it was called Le Conciliabule Lab. Le Conciliabule means, "speak easy", as their website says. It was used back in the day to describe a place where people would come together and talk about everything and nothing. I can definitely say that happens here. What a beautiful concept, "everything and nothing". Now named Bisou, which means kiss. That's actually really simple and sweet. Since every pastry and any food item or beverage enjoyed here is a kiss for your tastebuds. Love it. Keep going team. You are amazing!

You can immediately tell that the butter used in their croissants is of the highest quality, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. I paired it with a large glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, which had just the right amount of pulp, and a plain croissant on the side that was equally delicious. The true highlight, though, was the pain au chocolat loaded with premium chocolate that melts in your mouth. Arash, the owner, is incredibly warm and welcoming. He makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. I'm definitely going back soon, and I highly recommend giving this place a try if you have not already.

We ordered the croissant and quiche and found both items to be great, I would order the croissants again. The coffee was nothing special but the expresso pulled nicely and did not taste too acidic or burnt. Dine in customer will be served one plates with unique designs. The owner and server were friendly and uplifting. There is street parking and a green P lot 3 mins away.
