T&T/Osaka charge less, but are less authentic, not even as doughy, and are mass-produced. Pine House Bakery has smaller-sized pastries and lower prices, but La Patisserie keeps literally gives you the good and the price is worth it. Their pastries seem to be a little fresher and the cakes are always decent. Shop often enough and you may be treated to a silver VIP card (10-15% off everything)! The place is accessible to wheelchairs and baby strollers; parking is very available in the Garden City Centre parking lot.

I also like the chestnut roll but I'm not a big chestnut fan still, the Among all the cakes we tried, they are all very spongy, not very sweet. Texture was very good. Really impressive. Loved it.

Highlights: - Bolo Bao (guava strawberry compote vanilla chiffon and passion fruit mango) and Siu Mai (mango compote passion fruit mousse yellow choco wrapper) - honey butter vanilla - a croissant with amazing filling - the "Cinnabon" is not the traditional Cinnabon. It is more like a twisted churro creation but really good. I feel a place like this is the best of marrying western baking and Chinese themes. It is the kind of innovation I often saw in Hong Kong. In fact I think this place was founded by a HK based engineer who came over.

I tried their croissant when they were first opening and loved their black sesame croissant. Perfectly flaky and very deep in black sesame flavours. On a different occasion, had the opportunity to get a cake from them. It was a seamless process to place an order for their cakes online and pick up the order. I ended up getting the Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu cake since I thought the birthday recipient would prefer that one the most. When it came time to cut the cake, it was a complete mess as the sponge was way too soaked mixed with the cream, the top layers of the cake were shifting while the cookie crust stayed put since it was too firm to cut through. It was a sticky, wet cake situation that was a bit unpleasant for a birthday that some people even said they'd skip the cake because of the mush appeal... this would've been great as a spoon the cake out of a bowl type of tiramisu situation however, for the price and size of the cake, you'd expect a cake to cut properly if it is sold as 'x' servings....

Reservation: I made a reservation a few days in advance for afternoon tea. The booking process is available on their website and was very easy to navigate. Food: It was also Chinese New Year, so their afternoon tea featured some CNY-inspired savory items presented in a bamboo steamer, along with a yuan bao-shaped dessert. Both the savory and sweet selections were delicious and beautifully presented. I've compared Yandoux Patisserie with a few other afternoon tea menus, and I found that they offer more thoughtfully designed, higher-quality items such as beef tartare, salmon oshi, and truffle mushroom crostini. I especially liked that they only serve one scone, so you're not too stuffed to fully enjoy the sweet items. The staff also informed me that their chef change out the menu regularly based on occasion or season. So you won't be getting the same menu every time! Pricing: The set was $59 per person, plus tax and tip. For the quality they offer, I think it's absolutely worth it and comparable to hotel afternoon tea experiences I've had in the past. Customer Service: The staff was very attentive and friendly. They answered all of our questions and reviewed the menu with us to confirm our afternoon tea set. Once the tea set arrived, the staff explained each item and the suggested order for enjoying them. They also regularly refilled hot water in our teapot throughout the meal. Ambiance: Since it was Valentine's Day, the staff decorated the table with fresh rose petals. They even gave me a single rose stem at the end of the meal, which was such a sweet touch. The entire space is very clean, cute, and perfect for afternoon tea. Yandoux Patisserie is located in a building with a parking garage. Parking was about $1 per hour, which was very reasonable. I will definitely come back whenever I'm in town next!!

It featured Asian fusion items like sablefish (which was amazing!), shrimp salad (so good!), and sushi. I loved all the dessert items, especially the Matcha Cream Puff and the famous Yandoux Mousse Cake! Another notable highlight was the restaurant's ambiance. The decor was absolutely beautiful, and I truly loved the space. Each decorative item was thoughtfully arranged, creating a lovely atmosphere. I want to come back when next menu become available!

They also had a few drink combos and even savoury flavours like ham and cheese filling. You can also choose half sugar which is a cool option but they say it will be less crispy so there are pros and cons. For the Portuguese egg tart filling you can't choose half sugar. I liked the subtle earl grey flavour and there was a good amount of filling. I haven't tried the Portuguese egg tart filling from Eggette House so I can't compare them. It was indeed super crispy though!

I opted for one savory - original shell with ham and cheese filling, and one sweet - earl gray shell with no filling. The waffle was crispy on the outside and warm on the inside. The ham and cheese one is not as crispy due to the filling but that was expected and I feel there wasn't enough cheese (but found a lot of ham). The earl gray waffle was decent with a good amount of earl gray taste but I would've love it more if it was stronger. It's not the same as mammy waffles from Hong Kong but it's one of the better ones I've had in North America. They also take credit cards which is great!

Their cake's presentation caught my eye and felt like I wanted to buy them all. This time, I heard that they started selling breads, such as loaf and salt bread. So, I got Truffle salt bread and Pistachio loaf. Pistachio loaf was very fluffy, soft texture, and light pistachio filling , which was very good. Truffle salt bread flavor was not really strong, and I thought their bread texture needs a bit more refinement. I would like to try different flavor of loaf next time. And definitely, I will try different new cake line-up.

The customer service was very helpful in suggesting me some decaf options. I had a berry cheesecake and my friend got the mocha one. The mocha one definitely tasted much more like mocha than the berry one tasted like berry so I'd recommend that one over the berry. Unfortunately, the osmanthus oolong tea I got tasted nothing like osmanthus and just like green tea, I'd skip that next time. While it's a bit pricier than other cafés I've been to, I saw they had a wide selection of fluffy loaves and individual round cakes with some unique flavours like lychee osmanthus (~$13 which could be shared).

Tiramisu | Cheesecake…read more One Cake Boutique is easily one of my favourite cake shops. I got one of my favourite flavours, tiramisu and cheesecake, and both were absolutely on point. What I love most is their balance -- the cakes are not overly sweet, yet still rich, creamy, and full of flavour. The tiramisu is smooth and light with just the right coffee kick, while the cheesecake is velvety, indulgent, and melts in your mouth without feeling heavy. Perfect if you enjoy desserts that feel elevated and thoughtfully made, not sugar bombs. Definitely a go-to spot when I want cake that tastes as good as it looks. Best for: Not-too-sweet dessert lovers, celebrations, and cheat-day treats done right.

The texture was soft, and the cream wasn't too sweet - very good. The Chocolate Swirl loaf had a fluffy and soft texture. The chocolate swirl wasn't overwhelming, but it was still pretty good. The standout item was the Purple Rice loaf. The purple rice was kneaded inside the bread, and it was absolutely delicious - packed with filling and great flavor. Overall, I liked all the loaves. I highly recommend this bakery for their breads, cookies, and other items!
