Already off to an odd start. We placed our order: one lemonade, one regular coffee, a pistachio croissant and a poppyseed lemon muffin. All the pastries are obviously already made. We were the only ones ordering at this time. We waited 15 mins (!!) to receive everything. Why it took so long, I can't say. The poppyseed lemon muffin was very much lacking the lemon taste. I think they must've accidentally used almond extract in there instead because the almond flavour was strong. Good thing I'm not allergic! On the plus side, the pistachio croissant was delicious. Unfortunately that is my only positive note on this review.

Great Vibe, Disappointing Espresso (from an ex-Barista)…read moreStepped into this spot looking to grab some genuinely good coffee. As an ex-barista, I'm fussy--I hate spending money and not getting a quality product. Unfortunately, the coffee was a swing and a miss. I ordered one iced latte and one hot latte. In both drinks, the espresso was burnt. I actually watched the barista pulling the shots, and I could tell immediately. To make matters worse, the hot drink was barely a latte; it was essentially a cappuccino based on the absurd amount of foam on top. Plus, the milk itself was ruined. There's a certain temperature and texture for steaming milk, and this was clearly burnt milk that had been frothed way too aggressively. Aesthetically, the café is lovely--it's cute and a great spot to work from home. My recommendation? Skip the espresso drinks. Maybe try the matcha or a pastry instead. I definitely won't be back for the coffee.

The food is authentic vouched my Portuguese friend!…read more Every time we went to my friends parties she would have platters of food from here, so I'm familiar with how great these pastries and goodies taste but no idea what they are called! They lack signage for food completely here, so newbies like me will repetitively inquire, "ooh what's that?" over and over. The cakes, the bread, deep fried things all have no signs or prices, so unless you know what it is you won't feel comfortable. The service was patient and friendly, but I caused a back log on the line up, but if they had signage I would know that the cod ball wasn't a dessert filled with cream. Things to try, names are referenced off the receipt. Sweet - Portuguese tarts (Natas) creamy smooth egg and medium torched in a flaky shell. Like a thicker version of creme brûlée - milk tart(quiej. De leite): like a Nata but without egg, so it's a lot lighter, not quite cupcake like as described but good Bread Milk egg sweet bread??: it's right by the cash, big huge top hat sized thing. It's very light inside and a touch sweet. It looks dry and tough on the outside though but it's not.. Makes great French toast if you have leftovers! Deep fried: R. Camarao: teardrop one is cod, flaky and light with mashed potatoes and parsley, even people who can't stand salmon will like this. The patty shape one is shrimp filled, also tasty.

And if it's a place in the middle of somewhere random, with no seating and looks like a factory, there must be something about this place. And I was very right. Bartholomew feels like a hidden gem with it's location and outlook, but inside are some of the best, or dareisay, the actual best pastries in the GTA. So much to choose from and so many options, you'll probably leave with boxes full like many of the others here. Be prepared to take out another mortgage with the amount you'll spend here. But it's so worth it. Buttery flaky goodness in literally every bite. I had the almond croissant and the chocolate cherry pastry and oh my gosh, their flavours are SO right. It's so fresh that it almost doesn't feel like I'm cheating. I'll be coming here again and again and again. Also, I reached out to the owners who confirmed that all of their pastries which don't have alcohol or meat items are otherwise fully halal, even down to the gel they use in some of the pastries! We love an inclusive bakery.

It is a LONG wait if you come to purchase in person (aka not a pickup order). HIGHLY RECOMMEND pickup option. We waited 45-60 mins on a rainy day. It is super popular! Some items were sold out due to popularity, but honestly not worth the hype. It is good pastries and a bit more unique due to their flavor combinations, but the execution feels rushed and dry. We had their croissants, which should be freshly made, but somehow it was dry, stale, and the only thing saving it was the filling. Not sure what happened as I've heard good things about it. Very much a swing and a miss. If we try it again, will definitely try to order for a pickup. Their sandwiches were much better, but there is standing room only in the cafe so its a pickup and go place. It is in an industrial location, so driving and parking is out of the way. For the location, it probably is the better option around (aka Vaughan), but either a bit west or east, there are better options without the long wait times. Try it at least once though, and try at least one of every item, you might find something you like, for me, it was their sandwiches, even though I was there for their pastries.

The potatoes, which often tends to be an afterthought, were actually pretty good. it was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Doctor's House boasts ample parking, which was a huge relief, we had no issues with parking, there is accessible parking as well. Furthermore, the venue itself is beautifully decorated, with elegant touches and plenty of natural light. The staff at Doctor's House were exceptional. From the moment we arrived, they were attentive, friendly, and accommodating. The service was seamless, with each course served promptly and with a smile. There was this particular gentleman who kept ensuring our table had enough water and drinks (sadly forgot his name). Attending my friend's wedding at Doctor's House was an absolute pleasure. I would highly recommend Doctor's House to anyone looking for a venue for a special occasion. It's clear that the team is dedicated to providing an exceptional experience for every guest.
