    Longanisa Sausage Roll
    Jenny Y.

    Had a chance to check out this Filipino-inspired bakery café last weekend. We got there in the morning, but it was still pretty busy! Lots of option for savoury, sweet, and also various drinks since it's a café as well. I ended up grabbing a few treats to take home. If I were heading straight home, I would have bought a few more items, but since they needed to stay cold/refrigerated, wasn't able to try most of their cakes this time. The Longanisa Sausage Roll was great the next day though. After a quick reheat, it was flaky outside and the meat was sweet. The owner was there on-site working alongside her staff as it was technically during the shop's belated Grand Opening week. All of them were friendly and helpful with suggestions based on preferences. A little bit of seating areas/standing tables around the walls of the store.

    Beautiful pastry

    As an Asian dude, "not too sweet" is the premier compliment for desserts - Bakerrae, a cute, beautiful, Filipino micro-bakery located in the East Chinatown really excelled that compliment. I got the Manila Honey latte with the Strawberry mascarpone whipped croissant, and they were both perfect in the best way possible. The latte was smooth, with a hint of the fragrant wild honey. Although the espresso did not stand out too much, drinking this latte was like swimming in a cool, comfortable pool in the summer. I enjoyed it. It was also nicely topped with the honeycomb toffee (like the Korean dalgona latte) - that was a very nice touch. The strawberry mascarpone whipped croissant was SUPER delicious. I really liked how Bakerrae's pastry chef minimized using too much sugar in the whipped mascarpone, and it really let the fresh Ontario strawberries' tardiness and sweetness shined through the entire pastry. Every bite is like harvesting the strawberries yourself - it's fragrant & refreshing. It was a very enjoyable experience. The bakery also has many other Filipino staple flavours (ube, pandan, coconut, mango, sticky rice etc...) I can't wait to come back and try everything else. The service is warm & welcoming. The space is comfy. I wish that there are more modern/fusion Filipino bakeries/dessert shops out there!!!

    The baked goods here are drool-worthy. Stopped by for a quick snack and ended up eating enough for a full meal! The excellent: Anything bread-based was best-in-city level. The pain au chocolat crackled with each bite. The spam tamago and cheese was an amazing mix of delightful tastes wrapped in that beautiful croissant. And the pandesal was pillowy and just the right level of sweet. The pretty good: The ube coconut basque cheesecake was smooth but would have liked stronger and more distinct flavours. Same with the pineapple bun cookie, which could have been more pineapple-y. The hot chachalate and cortado drinks were both fairly standard. Like how there's enough seating so you can actually dine in versus just automatically taking out. Baking is quick so they are good and fast at refilling items. Prices are what prices are these days. Vibe is bright and friendly and welcoming. Overall, a winner of a bakery!

    This cafe/bakery has two vendors, Bakerrae and Chachalate. I came for Bakerrae. I've visited them a few time prior at pop-ups. Rae is the owner of the business. Bakerrae serves Filipino-inspired dessert rolls/buns and drinks. I ordered the following: 1. White Miso Black Sesame Rice Krispie ($4.50). 2. Calamansi Espresso Tonic ($6.50). The customer service was good. The Rice Krispie was really good. I would order this again. I am not much of a coffee drinker so I took a big chance on the Espresso (I like taking chance). It was still too bitter for me, despite having Calamansi in it. However, I discovered most of the Calamansi settled to the bottom so I suggest stirring it before drinking! This location pre-soft-opened on 2026-01-03. It has indoor seating. There is easy-listening music playing in the background. Their previous store opened 2023-08-12, as mostly takeout cafe, but there was seating for 4-5 people. There is no free WiFi. The place is wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washroom, which is also wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2026-003

    Bakerrae located in East Chinatown along Broadview Ave near Gerrard St. E. is a modern Filipino bakery. Bakerrae actually started during the pandemic where Rhea, the owner, started selling her baked goods at popups/markets. The bakery did have another location in East York a few years ago, however, they had to close down that space. Currently this new space operates as a bakery and production site for both Bakerrae and Chachalate (Rhea's partner, Ryan's, chocolate business!). I didn't realize that Bakerrae was currently in their soft opening period as there was not much activity on social media announcing this. However, I did drop by recently on a Friday afternoon while I was around East Chinatown to see if indeed the shop was open (it was!). To my surprise the space was already half busy with customers enjoying their coffee and baked goods. Both Rhea and Ryan were there and it was really nice to see their shop thriving as I chatted with the both of them. In terms of the menu, as soon as you enter the shop you are greeted by a display full of pastries and baked goods near the coffee bar at the back of the cafe. You have your classic croissants and cookies as well as more unique offerings like the pandan coconut twice baked croissant, ube ensaymada croissant, smores croissant, a spam, tamago, and cheese pastry, a red bean sesame twist as well as ube/matcha basque cheesecakes. In terms of the drink menu, you can grab your classic espresso based drinks or order one of their specialty drinks (think pandan lattes, calamansi espresso tonic, or the pandan aerocano). They also have hot chocolate made from Chachalate chocolate as well. The coffee beans they use is their own blend made from Coffee Wallas from beans originating from the Philippines. While I was there I opted to get a cortado and matcha basque cheesecake to enjoy while soaking in the vibes of the bakery. I did also grab a pandan coconut twice baked croissant as well as a chocolate croissant to go. Coffee was made well with beautiful latte art by Rhea. My basque cheesecake had the perfect amount of matcha flavour and the cheesecake it's self was delicious. During my time there the place got busier and busier as customers came in to grab desserts and coffees. Overall, a wonderful addition to the East Chinatown neighbourhood. I will definitely be dropping by again if I'm in the area!!

    Wonderful people at the store. However, the bakery items are a bit too small for the price.

    I generally don't do coffee shops, but may have to start a new habit…read more I popped in one blustery cold morning and had a flat white with one of their chocolate chip brioche buns. It was perfect. Not too sweet! Just enough chocolate that had the bitter edge to it. The service will great, and the ambiance was calm and elegant. Definitely will be going back again.

    walking toward chinatown, this little french pâtisserie on the corner of queen st west and mccaul…read morecaught my eye. the black and white decor, french lettering and, most of all, that absolutely gorgeous chandelier were enough to pull me inside. the enormous crystal chandelier is almost theatrical, with layers of sparkling drops and ornate gold toned arms hanging in the centre of the store, over the pastry counter. between the marble like counters, glass display cases and big front windows looking out onto queen street, the whole space has a polished, old world french pâtisserie feel. no matcha here, so i switched things up with an oat milk latte instead, which was actually a nice change of pace. for the pastry, i went with the chocolate almond croissant. it looked every bit as tempting as the setting, with icing sugar and topped with a generous scattering of slivered almonds. after finding a table, i could also see an artisan baker working behind the glass, making what looked like raisin scones, which added a nice sense of theatre to the experience. aux merveilleux de fred is a french artisan pâtisserie known for its signature merveilleux, along with cramiques, waffles, meringues and viennoiseries, with the pastries made on site using traditional methods. texture wise, though, this one didn't quite hit the mark for me. there wasn't much lamination, and it lacked the crisp, flaky exterior i look for in a really good croissant. the slivered almonds also weren't toasted enough to give that extra nutty crunch. on the plus side, the chocolate and almond filling was generous, so there was no shortage of flavour in the middle. it just needed more of that buttery, layered pastry texture and a little more toasted almond flavour to really bring everything together. there was no cutlery provided, so this was very much a pastry you eat with your hands situation. fortunately, the icing sugar and filling were manageable with a few big bites and some paper napkins . sometimes you just have to commit. overall, this is a beautiful little stop on queen street west, especially if you're drawn in by aesthetic pâtisseries and elaborate interiors. the chandelier alone is worth looking up from the pastry case for, and being able to watch the bakers working behind the glass adds to the charm. i enjoyed the generous chocolate and almond filling, but for me, the croissant needed more layers, more crispness and more toasted almond flavour to make it truly memorable.

    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!
