Croissants and scone
Janine W.

Definitely worth going to. A friend took me here and they have good coffee and a great selection of teas to choose from. Their pastries are good as well and not too expensive! I ordered 6 and an Americano and it cost me $21!! That's a great price. I got 2 plain croissant, 1 Gruyère croissant, 1 chocolate croissant, 1 almond croissant and the blueberry lemon scone. My kid wants more!

Cherry Bomb is a well-known coffee shop at the base of Ronces (a.k.a Roncesvalles Avenue) that quickly became a favourite amongst locals when it opened in 2005. While the quaint, hole-in-the-wall shop is only open for take away during this stage of the pandemic, it's certainly no reason to skip out on their exceptional espresso-based drinks. With all beverages made from their own beans that are lovingly roasted in Prince Edward County, you can also purchase them in store or online. Unlike many of the city's coffee shops, the mouthwatering baked goods are made in house. Hint: run fast if you want to score a buttery croissant, a raspberry and cream scone, or an earl grey and orange muffin (flavours change daily). Take my word for it: you'll be back for more than just a coffee!

Going to downgrade this cause the barista not only screwed up my request but he didn't care either. It didn't taste very good with it being more watery and unbalanced with the milk. I don't care for latte art if the taste is great and this place ... definitely worse. I don't even think he looked at me once. It doesn't help that the cafe has this pretty cold draft and in the middle of this deep freeze, it's pretty uninviting. So save your cash (they only take cash here) and head onto Queen St for some good coffee and service.

I thought this place was ok. Not much interaction with the barista. I just gave him my order, he made it, collected my money, then went back to doing whatever he was doing before, behind the counter. Despite the larger front of the café, the inside was pretty much empty. Only a coupla long counters and some stools. No patrons, but then again, it was a gorgeous day out! Without any dairy, I found the Americano quite acidic. It had a bite to it! However, after adding my splash of cream/milk, it was much smoother.

Hands down, the best croissants in town. I've tried many pastry establishments, but CBC just gets it right - filling, fluffiness, texture. A variety of croissants too - butter, almond, gruyere. Their iced lattes are done with integrity. The spot is kid friendly, and their outdoor seating during summer is a dream - lake views included. You won't miss the big cherry bomb (literally) if you're walking by.

Ladies with big strollers? This is your place to get coffee. There's loads of room for you to back that buggy right on up to the counter. As for loafing? Not so much. The room is rimmed with chairs, but they're backless, and therefore incapable of truly relaxing in. But the atmosphere is warm, my chamomile tea was proper and hot, but I will say this: I bought one of their macaroon "balls" and it was the driest macaroon I've ever eaten, actually, I didn't eat it...I took one bite and gave up it was so hard and dry, and I never ever turn down the chance to get some sugar....wait...that came out wrong...

Hot chocolate and chocolate croissant.

Delicious decaf latte. But the croissants!!! Oh my God, the croissants..... Claflouti pales in comparison. The almond croissant nearly knocked me off my feet. I'm already trying to plan when I can go back for another. Cash only. Choosing a pastry is indeed a bit tricky, as others have mentioned, as they are all spread out far behind the cash. But the cashier was happy to tell me what my options were. I have a feeling she gets tired of explaining them all all the time though. A sign or chalkboard would help! Not a big space, but it's all open with lots of room to move around. Some seating around the periphery. .....and the almond croissants....!

Have been looking for the perfect chocolate croissant, and this one came pretty darn close. It was flaky, yet still substantial and chewy. And there was warm chocolate (and this was good chocolate) in every bite. The coffee and associated beverages must have been great because the line was quite long!

What a gem! We were looking for breakfast after the Foo Fighters concert in Toronto and found this…read moreplace on Yelp. It's right down the block from The Rivoli (IYKYK). 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 wanted to go there so we went on 2023-01-31 mid-morning when there would more selection…read more They definitely have quite a selection of pastries and savoury food. 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!
