Toronto Review 5/Many: The two of us stopped in here after going to the nearby location of…read moreMogouyan. As it was already pretty late in the evening and we were both pretty full, neither of us was in the mood for coffee and just wanted a small snack. There weren't that many options left, of course, as it was late, so, along with a 3.95 CAD Heartwood Farm & Cidery organic sour cherry drink, I ordered a Banana Caramel Cookie, and the friendly cashier there added a second one for free. Aside from being a very kind gesture, I presume the place was closing soon. The cookie was maybe 2.50 CAD, if I recall correctly, and it was good. I was slightly worried that it would be too sweet, but the caramel flavor wasn't super strong, and there was a good mixture of that and a light banana flavor. It was also surprisingly not too dry for how late it was. Overall, it was tasty, and the drink was also good.

But there was no "lava" at all... just a layer of cream sitting on a thick tart base. You do get some matcha flavour, but definitely not that rich and flowing matcha sauce I saw in those online reels. Matcha Mont Blanc - Too sweet. The green noodle-shaped topping is actually made from a kind of bean paste - not much matcha taste, but had a strong bean flavour instead. And again, it was too sweet to my liking. Taro Tart - This one was good. Taro-flavoured cream on top, with taro paste underneath, then a layer of custard with mochi at the bottom. Had a rich taro flavour. Still a bit sweet, but not as overwhelming as the Mont Blanc. Overall it was not bad, although TBH I haven't really found great matcha desserts in Toronto so far.

The bitter matcha powder on top was overwhelming and took away from the overall experience, so I'll be sticking to my favourite ube cake from now on. One thing I've noticed is that the box cakes have gotten smaller, but thankfully, the price was adjusted to match the size reduction.

When you walk in the door, if the case full of French-patisserie-class pastries, scones and things that you've never seen but you know on an existential level they are going to be amazing doesn't get your attention, then the massive crystal chandelier will. Okay, if you're not impressed by those, then how about the glass wall behind which a baker is preparing something that requires a massive amount of butter (there had to be 20 to 25 pounds sitting there)? The place is small and adorable. The staff is friendly, the coffee is fresh ground and brewed, and while a lot of people glide in, purchase, and leave there is some seating along the front wall. A great spot to get a scone, a coffee or tea, and watch Toronto go by. Marvelous indeed!

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 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.

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!

Grubby and inferior in every way. Rude, dumb, slow, arrogant bigots. Your politeness will not be reciprocated. Heads up LGBT people, this place is severely homophobic. I was called a f*gg*t in here! If you have any "real" belief that LGBT people should be treated equally, you need to boycott this dive. Shame on anyone who judges and discriminates for any reason.

BEST Euro Deli award goes to...Vienna Fine Foods!…read more This long-standing family-run European Delicatessen is like a small taste of Europe in Toronto! It's almost 70 years old and one of the oldest European delis in the city. A breath of fresh air, sweetened with nostalgia, that transports you to a Euro style deli in the heart of Scarborough. Their main attraction is their high quality deli food, magnificent imported cheeses, charcuterie deli meats, freshly baked buns, baguettes, rye bread, European specialty food items (jars of pickles, preserves, spreads, soup mixes, dumplings, imported chocolates and candies, and magazines to name a few). Hungry patrons frequent their phenomenal hot food counter, specializing in home style authentic German, Polish, and Austrian foods. Hot takeaway lunch menu at "Little Imbiss" includes Schnitzel (fried breaded pork cutlet), home fries, knackwurst (sausages), sauerkraut, Hungarian goulash, daily soups (creamy mushroom is a personal fave). Walking inside you're instantly transported to an idyllic place, a home away from home. No wonder their hot food lunch counter is nicknamed "Little Imbiss" - Imbiss is a German word for a snack place often a small family-run food stand or street food shop. They have a deli meats counter where you can buy cold cuts, salads, meats, sausages, charcuterie, cured meats, European and Canadian cheeses. A bakery section where you'll find freshly baked baguettes, buns, and rye bread, pumpernickel bread. As well as imported European chocolates, marmalades, pickles, crackers, potato dumplings mixes. But really, this place wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for their loyal customers, excellent owners-managers and their friendly staff. Family-owned for almost 30 years; the co-owner's father was an excellent trained chef who worked at an exclusive Toronto country club known as the Granite Club and wanted to give people a taste of Europe. For the past 30 years his family has honoured his lifetime dream of bringing people a taste of Europe in Canada by providing top tier service and quality food to the community. I once witnessed the staff really take the time to go out of their way to assist an elderly man who needed help with finding his groceries. She patiently walked around the store speaking to him in German and helped the gentleman with a smile on her face. The kindness that I've witnessed here is also what makes it so memorable. This wonderful deli will always have a special place on my heart!
