    a chocolate birthday cake
    Iman M.

    I came in looking for a cake to take home for a friend's birthday. As soon as I walked in, I noticed the really friendly service from everyone working. In the midst of the current pandemic, everyone is a little on edge so I appreciated the service even more! They had a few different cakes to choose from and I ended up picking this beautiful raspberry chocolate cake. They wrote a message on the cake for me and I was in and out within 5 minutes. The price was also great (smaller cakes are $22 and the larger ones are $35). Unfortunately, I didn't get to try the cake but my friend said it was amazing. Definitely looking forward to coming back when times are better!

    An amazing peach danish, the custard isn't too sweet so the fruit becomes the star. So good!

    We were having dinner at a friends place around the and was searching for a pie as dessert. I'm so glad we stumbled onto this little neighborhood gem!! They had a whole shelf of pies with an assortment of fillings, and the service was very patient as we mulled over our choices. We settled on the blueberry pie and it was definitely a hit at the dinner. They also have a wide variety of baked goods, from scones to bread to meals (I saw someone having soup). The peach danish looked so good that we had it as a pre-dinner snack. The pastry was light, the custard was generous and the peach was juicy. I haven't had such a good danish in ages! Will be back if I'm ever in the neighborhood again.

    Egg Salad!
    Daniel B.

    On a nice sunny day I was walking around the Bloor West looking for something to eat. I decided on a staple, Bread and Roses, for the homemade Egg Salad Sandwich. Upon entering you walk into cramp quarters, the counter feature a glass window showcasing of all the bake goods. Once you walk in you can smell the fresh bread and pies. Expect a line up during lunch. Unfortunately the line can be slow but, the Sandwich is being made fresh. I order my Egg Salad Sandwich. Unfortunately they only had Whole Wheat left. The bread was still sliced fresh. It was topped with fresh lettuce and mayo. The bread was so soft and the crust had some crisp. The egg salad was nice and creamy. This is definitely one of my favorite places for a sandwich. I didn't get one this visit but, the bake goods are great, especially the pie!

    Bread & Roses Bakery Cafe has a great vibe and a great selections of baked goods. Sweet, Sweet, Sweet and More Sweet! Plain Croissants - Not bad, not buttery enough! I can tell when it is not too flaky and crisp when I tearing it apart! Cookies - soft and chewy cookies... great little bite size... Chocolate Macaroons - intensive coconut sweetness... a little too sweet for my taste, but my friend seems to enjoy that! Great to have one of this with a strong cup of coffee The servers are all so friendly and helpful. Large seating area if you want to eat in... even when I buy that one Macaroon she was nice enough to ask me if I want to have it to stay!

    Always an amazing experience at Bread & Roses. Have been coming here for years. MUST TRY: Creamy cucumber soup & potato bread

    The coffee: I ordered a decaf so they had to make it for me. It was one of the best coffee I ever had, miles above Starbucks. I even suspected they mistakenly give me a regular coffee but I slept well at night so. The carrot cake: good quality, tasted great, lots of nuts and not too sweet. It's solid and soft at the same time. The service: all smiles and a lot of attention. They didn't have decaf ready so they made one specifically for me. The price: $5.6. Inexpensive to say the least.

    It is always a competition between bread&rose to hot even. Every time I judge by smell and bread&rose wins mostly of the time. The must-try, hidden gem is actually the potato bread which is not always available. If you see this message and looking for some bread to bring it home. Get the potato bread when it lasts.

    Butter tart with pecans and coconut macaroon

    If you love pumpkin pie, this is the place to go! When I was new in Toronto I googled the best pumpkin pies in TO to complete my Thanksgiving meal. And I am so glad I did. From the moment I tasted this pumpkin pie a few years back, I've been coming back every year for more. Their butter tarts and coconut macaroons are also delicious! The only drawback is that they only offer the pumpkin pie seasonally and the washrooms at this location are very unfresh so I always take my things to go.

    Stopped in last week because I had a MASSIVE sugar craving and I really really wanted a brownie. Bread & Roses delivered! My brownie was decadently sweet. The icing was luscious and though I made a mess eating it, it was a mess I gladly licked clean. I bought my roommate a fruit tart because it looked so beautiful (I secretly wanted to eat both but stopped myself). I'm super happy to live close to here and will be fulfilling my sugar cravings here again soon.

    Apple and cheese Danish, not too sweet and crispy and light
    Heather C.

    Came here at the recommendation of a friend. It was quite good. It's quite busy, but the selection of pastries is good. They are light and not overly sweet, not the best I've ever had, but still super yummy! Make sure they know you're in line because they sometimes can't tell between the people who are still looking and people who want to order. Soups are quite underwhelming, other food doesn't look super appetizing...it's all about the pastries!

    Almond Toffee Latte, very yummy :)
    Anita S.

    There's certainly not a lot to complain about, I truly enjoyed my experience here and honestly can't wait till the next time I'm in this neighbourhood and can visit again. I give it a 4.75. The staff was really friendly and although they didn't have one of tye ingredients to make the drink that I wanted to order, the lady was willing to accommodate and made my drink completely customized! It was quite busy when I arrived and as a matter of fact, it was busy for the entire 5 hours I was there doing homework (works out great that their Wi-Fi is reliable). Every time I looked up from my seat there was a line up at the door, maybe it's because it was a Saturday? Theres a huuuggeee selection of breads and pastries to choose from, all of which looked absolutely delicious! They also serve sandwiches, bagels and soup. The obly negative is that I saw their prices looked a liiitttllee in the pricey side, but they did look like quality sandwiches, so maybe it's worth the premium.

    What a gem! This bakery is tucked into the southeast corner…read moreof Yonge & College, and walking inside feels like stepping straight into Japan. The pastries and mochi breads are absolutely exquisite! I tried the black sesame mochi bread--light, pillowy, and filled with a delightful little white mochi surprise. The crème brûlée almond tart was incredible too, with its thick, eggy custard and a blueberry-almond center. And the Hitotoki matcha tart? Gorgeous and just perfect. It was my first visit, and I discovered the bakery through their 2nd-anniversary IG post. I bought about $20 worth of treats and got to spin their prize wheel--and I actually won the Grand Prize: a limited-edition gold Nespresso & milk frother kit! I literally jumped for joy. Yet another reason to love this incredible bakery!

    It was okay. Tried three items:…read more Matcha Lava Tart - The staff said this had the strongest matcha flavour among their matcha items. 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.

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!
