Last weekend, I was driving home and saw MBF from the corner of my eye. I stopped my car and decided to check it out while picking up some things to take home. The decor is quite similar to their downtown location. There is a seating area, but on Saturday morning, it was packed. Make sure to come early! I didn't get a chance to try their drinks, but picked up their brioche, pain au chocolat and almond croissant. All were very good, especially the brioche! I can't wait to come back and try their other desserts. Good for: baked goods, pastries, coffee/tea

A quick search for Toronto's best chocolate cake led us to Petite Bouchee's Ultimate Chocolate Cake. We pre-ordered it and picked it up without a hitch. And when we took it home and unveiled it, everyone was very impressed. It's just an impressive-looking concoction. It tastes even better. I think I might even go so far as to say it's the best chocolate cake I've ever eaten. It's just so rich and chocolatey, with the moist cake and addictive, irresistible frosting. That frosting... Ohh boy, I'm still thinking about that frosting days after eating it. I'm sure the other offerings at Petite Bouchee are good, but I'll be returning time and again for that cake. It's not cheap but it's worth every penny.

This quaint, unassuming spot in Bloor West Village is exactly where you should go to satisfy your sweet tooth. Its selection isn't huge but you can preorder. It was a one-staff operation who was attentive and kept the constant stream of people moving. We bought a variety of baked goods and a small bowl of Kawartha Dairy ice cream. The ice cream was good but nothing in comparison to the baked goods. I'm not usually a macaron fan but their bubble gum one was so flavourful, I'm glad my son didn't eat all of it. We also tried the cotton Candy one which merely tasted like sugar. I got one of their squares which was sweet and tart at the same time. Prices are fairly reasonable and they continue to introduce new products. Support local and check this place out!!!

I have been sick of seeing those "Japanese inspired French" bakeries that have fake-y heavy make-up decorations for their storefront and products, totally losing themselves. This place is not like that. Very reserved. I felt that when stepping in the space. I got: # Ryusei: Interesting looks. Hazelnut sponge cake with coffee flavoured ganache, topped with a thin big sheet of black chocolate. I was impressed by the quality of chocolate. Sponge cake had flavor-filled chewiness to it. # Hana: Again the almond sponge cake's texture was not light. But the mousse had real pineapple flavor which was endorsed by finely shredded coconut. # Ren: The sponge was flourless. Texture is dense, really really chocolate forward piece. # Kurumi: To me, this is the best among all cakes. Almond sponge cake was flourless, but nicely moist. Caramel butter cream was not too sweet & nicely bitter. It had generous amount of walnuts on top! # Misaki & other fruits mousse cakes: Design was simple and not as sophisticated, so was the texture. Mousse was not as airly, however, the mousse's taste was very well balanced, hitting the perfect balance of fruits' tangy-ness and sweetness. # Plain croissant: LOVED this. Light and airy, good buttery aroma, when torn I saw the layers and air pockets making a beautiful honeycomb structure. Outer layer is crispy, saltiness is perfect. All reasonably priced, modest, and this croissant! No wonder this place has been loved by the local community!

We couldn't have asked for more. Well done Your Happy Baker. We are very happy customers and will be back! A few notes: This is a home based business so no storefront. We ordered a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and a white buttercream overtop. Communication was on email and then text and in both cases super fast and clear.

They have roughly 6 different cakes to choose from, and I tried and enjoyed them all. My favorite was the cookies and cream! Delicious. Suddenly, around the Holidays, the cookies and cream cake was missing from the display case for 2 weeks in a row. No problem. I'll email and order, except no one responded to the email. Perhaps the email went to another location or they were busy over the holidays and never saw it. I decided to just go in and buy whatever they had in the display. I settled on a plain Vanilla cake. The problem was it was most definitely stale! The quickest way to lose a guest is by selling substandard product at full price. A Bad business practice and foolish, because ultimately, I will never go back. Once confidence and trust is gone, there's no way back.

There's also pantry items like crackers and prepackaged lavash. The breads are really their specialties. They have a lot of different ones on display and they'll grab one for you fresh from the back. You can get them sliced or whole and they can come in either plastic or paper bags. If you opt for yesterday's bread, you get a discount of 50%. I highly recommend the rye.

This is not the first time I had returned food that was spoiled (cream cheese on a bagel and other items). I felt Mabel's deserved another chance as a community business. I did get my money back and ordered a coffee. After drinking it, I felt quite nauseous and then worse. I reached out to the owner who did NOTHING about it. No apology, no offer for a free coffee or even regret for the rudeness. Just a refusal to take responsibility: "all our food is fresh, this never happened type of 'fake news', double talk. I will no longer attend this establishment as the food is too frequently sold after its sell by date. A question to the owner: "how long do you think you can take advantage of customers until none of us are interested in supporting you and why do you feel entitled to hard earned money in exchange for spoiled, old food"?
