I cannot believe it's taken me this long to visit this amazing local bakery! I have heard rave…read morereviews of their sourdough & breads, and I can see why it has become such a staple of the locals in this area. Crust is located on the bottom floor of a condo building - a treat for the residents who get pass by for morning coffee & pastries I hope! Who doesn't like the smell of fresh baked bread & pastries? While there is very limited high top seating inside the bakery itself, there are plenty of tables inside the condo lobby just outside the bakery entrance. Service wasn't standout, but that's not a deal breaker in this case. I definitely recommend stopping by to pick up their baked goods. You could probably skip on the coffee - it was good, but not the star in my opinion. I treated myself to a blueberry custard tart & flaky pain au chocolat - both were incredibly delicious and I can't wait to come back to try more! Note that there is parking at the back of the building if you turn onto Yongehurst Rd.

Parking is a bit tight and chaotic, but I did notice a sign mentioning additional rear parking on weekends, which is helpful. Before even stepping inside, the patio caught my eye. Definitely a great spot for when the weather warms up. Inside, the space is thoughtfully laid out with a variety of seating options and shelves of packaged goods like coffee and cookies. As you move through the winding line, you pass by their fridge and freezer items (think ready-to-go meals like shepherd's pie and grab-and-go options like chia pudding), followed by freshly baked breads. Honestly, the hot honey pizza focaccia looked incredible! Last was the drink menu and their pastry display. It's the kind of setup where you can't help but look at everything. I went in knowing I wanted the iced banana matcha, and also picked up an almond croissant and a carrot walnut loaf. Service was friendly and welcoming. The iced banana matcha met my expectations based on what I'd heard. It's not the strongest matcha if you're a purist, but it leans more toward a dessert-style drink with really enjoyable flavors. It's definitely on the sweeter side, but even as someone who prefers "not too sweet," I still loved it. The almond croissant was beautifully flaky with a rich, flavorful filling, and I appreciated the generous amount of sliced almonds on top for added texture. The carrot walnut loaf was another standout. It was super moist and well-balanced, not overly sweet even with the icing. Overall, everything felt thoughtfully made and high quality. I just wish it were closer so I could visit more often. They have such an extensive menu, and I'd love to try more next time.

I was finally in the area again and tried their breakfast sandwich and scone. Both items were perfectly made and you can taste a tad of sourness in both. I love this place would easily come back and try more of their items. I am so amazed at how they are able to make such a variety of items from sourdough like muffins, cookies, scones, etc. There's a small shop further into the store with local and artisan products.

The cake was spongy, and the cream cheese frosting was spread evenly. However, I would have preferred if the frosting was less sweet although this wasn't a deal breaker for me and I would buy this cake again. The coffee is self-served in a corner of the store by the front door, but you pay at the register. There are also two chairs by the front window but the overall space in the bakery is quite small so I wouldn't imagine a lot of customers staying to enjoy their drinks and baked goods there. We also got a latte and they offered to add cinnamon on top which was a nice touch. We also got the ham and cheese croissant which was good, but I wouldn't say that it's the best croissant ever. I would want to try other bakery items and will definitely be returning soon!

The Sausage Roll was a tad too salty for my preference, but it is essentially a whole link wrapped in pastry. The sauce that came with it kind of helped, but overall it was pretty heavy. Very small space with a little bit of seating, but I was just there for grab and go, so wasn't a problem. Right when you walk in, the display case of baked goods right in front of you so you can decide while you walk a few steps to the order/pay area. They also have some fridges and freezers with other food items that you can purchase. The staff are friendly and helpful with recommendations.

Exterior was perfectly toasted crispy, inside spongy and gooey, honestly tasted like a creme brûlée and that's my favorite dessert of all time. Would definitely go back for a canele. KOUIGN AMANN (3.7/5) Kouign Amann was crisp outside, yet fluffy inside, but it had this bit of taste I couldn't quite put my finger on and didn't enjoy. Maybe it was cardamom or a hint of alcohol. My friend enjoyed it a lot, but not for me. CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE (3/5) Cookie was an interesting 15mm thick cookie with some salt. It was okay, not a huge fan of cakey cookies so would skip this. I wanted a bit more of a crispy texture and was hoping the edges would deliver that. Thought to buy it because it was an interesting shape. Chocolate tasted of nice quality though.
