I had some time to kill so decided to pay them a visit. A lot of items are on our here both sweet and savory. I stuck with sweets and picked up a few scones and other items.

Happened upon this place when we were looking for a cafe in the area…read more Such a cute cafe shop at such an unexpected area surrounded by big box plazas. (I used to live in this area and was surprised to see this new place; a much welcome and needed pastry shop/cafe !) We had the breakfast sandwich, which was so scrumptious and savoury; very unique delicate flavours. We also had cheddar chive biscuit, which was also so subtly delicious - love the infused taste. The coffee drinks were also delicious, especially the mocha one. I would definitely swing by here whenever i'm in the area! Interested in trying all their other variety of items!

The cake was spongy, and the cream cheese frosting was spread evenly. However, I would have preferred if the frosting was less sweet although this wasn't a deal breaker for me and I would buy this cake again. The coffee is self-served in a corner of the store by the front door, but you pay at the register. There are also two chairs by the front window but the overall space in the bakery is quite small so I wouldn't imagine a lot of customers staying to enjoy their drinks and baked goods there. We also got a latte and they offered to add cinnamon on top which was a nice touch. We also got the ham and cheese croissant which was good, but I wouldn't say that it's the best croissant ever. I would want to try other bakery items and will definitely be returning soon!

Tip: This bakery has made-to-order hot and iced teas…read more Last Sunday, I was at CF Fairview for lunch with a couple of friends. I was walking over to Hana Don and noticed this Lucullus Bakery on the other side of the mall entrance from where I'd be having lunch. I love Lucullus. My first visit was at its Yonge Street location, just south of Finch Avenue West. I recently visited its downtown Markham location and loved it. After lunch, my friends and I parted ways. They went home. I headed to this bakery to check it out. You enter the bakery using the mall entrance. There is seating inside this bakery. It was busy on a Sunday afternoon at around 3 pm. I grabbed a wooden tray and tongs. I looked at what felt like an endless lineup of baked goods. Thank goodness I was full from lunch. I would have bought a ton more if I were hungry! My haul consisted of these items: - Double chocolate croissant - Fried curry beef bao - BBQ pork bao - Curry beef puff - Egg and cucumber sandwich - Cheese dog - Large iced lemon tea The other two Lucullus locations have tea drinks that you grab out of the fridge. This one makes hot and cold teas on the spot. Two male staffers were behind the counter. One took my iced lemon tea and asked how I liked it. I said without sugar. I wanted the large size because I needed a drink to get me home. He put my baked goods in individual bags and sealed them. He then put all goods in a plastic bag. The other male staffer went to make my drink. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and got my receipt texted to me. I waited patiently for my drink. I thanked the man who made it for me. I had this drink when I got in my car. It was perfectly cold. I loved the lemon slices and lemon flavour with the tea. It was excellent! My baked goods last a couple of days. They were delicious. The egg and cucumber sandwich was yummy. Think egg salad, but simplified with mayo and cucumber slices. Sometimes, simple is all you need. The bun was soft and yummy. I loved the curry beef puff. It's so flaky with the best curry puff filling. I've had the chocolate croissant. It's amazing with dark chocolate inside a buttery croissant. The double chocolate croissant is an extension of it. This kicked-up-a-notch version has dark chocolate drizzle and powdered sugar on top. It didn't taste overly sugary with the latter on it. The dark chocolate drizzle was fun to eat. It had hardened such that you could take a piece off and eat it. I love a good cheese dog bun. This one was cheesy and yummy. I went through a phase making them at home. I don't think mine compares to how amazing this one. It had hot dogs and cheese baked a flatbread wannabe, but still fluffy like a bao. I crave another one. The BBQ bao was hefty. It had so much filling in it. There was more BBQ pork goodness than the bao holding it all together. If you love protein, this bao gives you the best bang for your money. Yummy! The biggest surprise was the fried curry beef bao. It had the same amazing filling as the curry beef puff. What I didn't expect was enjoying a hard-boiled egg in it. What?! It was brilliant and so tasty. Parking was a bit crazy. I parked by the shuttered Hudson's Bay store. I"m hoping that it's much better during the weekday. I want more. I need to return soon. (188)

It actually was a bakery with sitting tables. Nice and big dining area. Good for people chatting as well. Drink items were pretty much like Hong Kong styles. We stick with the iced Lemon Tea with no ice and 1 sugar. It didn't take too long to complete the drink, it was warm actually without ice. There were pieces of lemon in the talk cup, and 1 sugar was perfectly balanced the black tea and citric acid tastes, and not sweet at all. I would like to try their cakes next time, they look amazing.

I ordered her favorite -- red velvet -- as a surprise, and everything was perfect. Delivery was right on time, and the cake was absolutely delicious -- easily one of the best we've had. Most importantly, seeing the look on her face when the cake arrived made it all worth it. Great cake, great service, and a great experience. Would definitely recommend Dessert Lady!

We all enjoyed our orders!

Very solid 4* rating!…read more Not sure why it took me a decade to check this place out, after a recommendation from an older European lady had recommended this place to me. It's definitely a "hidden" gem, tucked around the corner from Kipling Stn, in a really industrial area. Think a bunch of auto body and other older looking, unkempt buildings with cars parked out in front. There's parking in front of the bakery café and you hafta climb up a flight of stairs to go in. Not really accessible for older or customers with disabilities. When I arrived, the chairs were already on top of the tables. And after checking the hours of operation, they're only opened 'til 5pm, including Saturdays. They sell whole and cakes, pastries, but the slice/piece. Prices aren't posted, but it was just under $10 for 2 pieces that I got. When I arrived, near closing, they had B1G1 free on their tiramisu, so I saw that as a sign. They were delicious and still tasted free, not too sweet! (I took a pic of their price list and it seems very reasonable!) Judging on what they offer and what I've read, they have Austrian/German roots. Lady who helped me could've been friendlier/enthusiastic, but again, it was the end of the day. So I'm not going to hold that against her. I'd definitely check it out again...but it would hafta be during the day/Saturday!

I'll definitely come by again, and next year I'm ordering one of those German fruit cakes. :)

I prefer the Garden one, but would want to try out some of their other ice cream cakes too. I did find it odd that they charge for the chocolate plaque where the message was written...and they weren't able to make changes to it even though I called a few days in advance. I was told they already made them in advance so no changes could be made. Not sure why they didn't have the option of letting me pay for another plaque to be rewritten either since they just stuck it on the side of the cake so not like it would ruin the cake..?
