    Always busy and they sell out quickly so be sure to go early. Everything is delicious. They're excellent at what they do and it's an efficient ordering process. Can't wait to try more

    I went there on a Saturday and was excited to see a big line outside of the bakery -- a good sign for any bakery! Although it was quite cold outside, I happily waiting as I had heard lots of great things... and the wait was definitely worth it. Inside, there was so many items to choose from. I ended up getting the almond croissant and it has to be one of the best ones I've ever had. My only regret is not getting more, but alas, it gives me a reason to visit again! Will see you guys soon.

    Such a gem and love this bakery in Vaughan for their amazing and delicious pastries!! Love how the pastries aren't too sweet and the croissants are so crunchy and flaky. They've got tiramisu danish, almond croissants, cookies, etc. which are all a must try and definitely recommend coming early to get first dibs as they do sell out closer to the end of the day. They've got long lineups for a reason and also come out with seasonal pastries too!

    One of the best bakeries ever hands down! There is usually a long line on the weekend but luckily it goes quite fast. The staff are all really friendly and the store itself is small and intimate. With respect to the pastries there are so many unique flavours depending on what is in season and they are all phenomenal. They also have focaccia sandwiches that are delicious and fresh baked bread that you can buy. Overall everything we purchased was a hit and I will continue to be back!

    An awesome bakery. Their filled croissants are the star -- our favourites are the strawberry-mascarpone and matcha-raspberry, both featuring a rich mascarpone-based filling surrounded by flakey buttery croissant. Their danishes are decent, but we preferred the croissants and pain au chocolat; all very reasonably priced between $5-$7 per. The bialy sandwiches ($11) are also fantastic, mortadella and pistachio being our favorite, with a rich pistachio mayo (?) on chewy, fresh bread. Coffees are excellent, although a bit pricey, and are only available in to-go cups. This is a small shop with no seating. The staff were patient and friendly both times we went!

    These were the best croissants I had in the GTA. They have a wide variety of flavors to satisfy any craving, and everything is freshly baked. They have lavish pastries, sandwiches and whole loafs of bread as well. They also have coffee. It is a small space, with no seating. The staff were friendly and very hard working. You can order individual items or a box of 4 or 6 pastries. We got a box of 6 croissants, the flavors were, almond, pistachio, biscoff, espresso, tiramisu and lemon blueberry. My favorite ones were the almond and biscoff. All the croissants were super flakey and not too sweet. Some were a little on the creamier side, but its all about personal preference. We also got fresh sourdough bread, which was delicious. There's going to be a line so I suggest going early. We went an hour after it opened and there were a good amount people there already. I would definitely recommend.

    Bartholomew has become one of my favorites! I typically get sweet croissants but this time I decided to try a savory croissant they're Ham and cheese and it was so delicious the cheese is shaved so it's not super overpowering but it's definitely rich in flavor I do wish that it was served hot cuz I love a hot croissant but you can tell that quality ingredients were put into this croissant and all the different layers of the croissant the crunch of the outside the softness on the inside 9/10 for me. I also tried their toffee cookie it's a chocolate chip cookie with hints of toffee and it was absolutely delicious the outside was crispy but not burnt and the inside was soft there were a little bits that were a little undercook but honestly and didn't even matter to me I didn't even stop to take a sip of my latte the cookie is 10/10 highly recommend! After taxes my total came up to a little bit over $13 and I got the ham and cheese danish, one Spanish latte and one toffee cookie. I visited just before 9:00 a.m. on a Wednesday and there were handful of people waiting for their order but there is no one in front of me to place an order so wasn't too much of a wait

    Great vaughan gem! This place is super popular and line up always on weekends but thankfully never a line up during weekdays. The vanilla latte is good, they use De mello beans. The prices are decently priced, they're good but i wouldn't say i'm wow'd by them. To get a box you have to get 4 pastries?? I would suggest to charge for the box instead if someone doesn't really need more pastries. They sell sourdough and pies. When its was time to purchase, surprised they don't accept tips? on the machine just shows the total. They should put an option, especially since they're a well known bakery, it gets busy! FYI ONLY TAKEOUT. no chairs. Service was fast and efficient. I would recommend the espresso cruffin, pistachio, almond. Their special flavoured bakery goods change weekly i think. But check their instagram or website to keep updated. I need to try the DUBAI CROISSANT NEOWWWW

    Espresso, tiramisu, and the strawberry shortcake!  Along with plain and sourdough bread in the back

    Exceptional croissants! Variety of selections to choose from and they offer seasonal flavours as well. I'm not usually a big fan of croissants, but they definitely do it really well here. Not a sit down place, but good service overall.

    Strawberry shortcake, twice baked almond, twice baked pistachios and pain du chocolat
    Laura T.

    A great new spot for DELICIOUS CROISSANTS! There twice baked pistachios and almond croissant has taken my spot for best croissant, previous titled held by Emmer. We came on a weekend and had to wait around 15 mins outside the bakery, while it's not long, it might be rough during bad weather. Staff were pretty quick once we made it to the counter. This is a bakery only with no seating and small stand up banister that you could probably chow down a sandwich. I'd definitely come back for their croissant and might try their sandwiches too. We didn't order a coffee after hearing a previous customer say it top them 30 mins for their coffee order. Not sure if this was a regular occurrence or something happened with the coffee bar that day specifically. We decided to pick up coffee elsewhere after hearing that.

    So you constantly see this bakery on all platforms for social media it's been on the list to do for quite a while however, I didn't wanna wait in long lineups. So as I'm headed out of the city, we were in the area so I said it's finally time to try it. Parking was full, so my husband dropped me off, but because the service is so efficient people were in and out very quick. I got myself a cappuccino and Italian trio focaccia, a butter croissant, and a cookies and cream pastry. Now it's the end of the day I was able to try everything that we purchased. Cappuccino was made perfectly - sandwich was not hard. You can tell that it was fresh l, the flavours were really delicious together. My husband ate the butter croissant. He said it was delicious. You could definitely taste that it is more luxurious than your average croissant. As for the cookies and cream pastry - It definitely was not sweet. The actual cookie in the inside was wonderful and it worked really well with the croissant and the cream flavour. I would recommend and definitely come back. All four items roughly cost about $25 (well worth it). Thank you and I definitely will be coming back again.

    Visited on a weekday, and the place was quite busy. The case had many pastries but I think some items were not available during weekday, Not sure. For example the kouign amann wasn't on the case and pizza squares. The pain suisse had amazing layers and I've never tried it before so I had to order it. Also tried their espresso cruffin, pistachio & almond croissant. The highlight was the pain suisse. Both the pistachio and almond filling wasn't roasted, and surprisingly I'm usually not a fan if its unroasted but this was good and not overwhelming. Need to come back and try their savoury items and KA. Prices are more affordable compared to Toronto pricing. Grab and go place with some standing tables along the window.

    Sandwiches
    Connie C.

    I love this place! Definitely some lineups and wait time during weekends. Came around 1:30pm right before thanksgiving and there were lots of people. Most of the people actually waited in line for coffee rather than baked goods. It looked overwhelming (and loud) because there was only one barista making drinks. I didn't order one but I will try next time! Looks like they serve De Mello and Monogram coffee beans. We got two sandwiches (forgot to take pictures) and 4 pastries. The sandwiches were a bit hard because it was cold, so it would have been better if it was heated up. The pastries were all so delicious especially the croissants!

    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 service is consistently warm, and the pastry case is hard to resist. We've tried many of their cakes, and the blackcurrant queen cake is hands down our favorite--tart, elegant, and just sweet enough. Their salted caramel croissant is beautifully laminated and filled with just the right amount of caramel. In fact, their croissants across the board are solid--flaky, tender, and buttery without being greasy. The sourdough bread is excellent, and the espresso drinks are reliably strong and well-crafted. It may look like Paris inside, but don't let that inspire your inner Francophile--the staff are lovely, but no one's following your French.

The…read moreratings were high, the photos looked great, and I figured it'd be a safe bet -- so I brought my partner along expecting solid coffee. After trying my vanilla iced latte and my partner's macchiato... I wondered if this place might actually be better known for food or matcha, based on what I've seen in other reviews - the coffee was not good. The espresso beans seemed to be over-roasted, which were quite bitter for our liking as opposed to something more subtly chocolatey and nutty. My iced latte also got watery pretty quickly as the ice melted it seemed, and ended up tasting more like the kind of latte you'd get from a fast-food chain (or the espresso shot was way too long). A bit of a letdown, especially since the two fairly small drinks came to about $18. The space itself is cozy, and I really like the vinyl collection (which earned the 2 stars). That said, the records are noticeably pricey compared to typical vinyl shops like Sonic Boom. A lot of them -- even ones with just Side A -- were priced at $55 and up. I didn't cross-check the barcodes on Discogs, but while I love the curation (especially the focus on Japanese jazz and city pop -- really cool stuff), I find it hard to believe all of them are rare pressings worthy of those $55-to-several-hundred-dollar price tags. As an avid collector myself, I wouldn't come here to buy the records. Service was friendly.

I had a matcha latte with almond milk this time and I was pleasantly surprised, a perfect level of sweetness, and not to mention the foam! I had no idea this was possible with almond milk!

It was clean and very spacious. The staff on our visit were great. I would definitely return if it were closer to me, and I will totally check out other locations.
