There are no signs or menus posted anywhere but I just asked the lady what each item was. Since I was running late I couldn't really take my time to order so I just go5 a Portuguese tart to try on my drive home. It was like, very very good. Very flaky and then very custardy and thick filling inside. Bad move on my part for getting only one but I will do a proper visit and get more next time along with trying the other pastries, coffee, and sandwiches. They're right by the Brooklin library so I anticipate this to be a regular place for me to visit before or after those library runs! .

When entering the store the first thing that bothered me was, you walk into a maise a never ending complex of dead end ailes that lead no where. Eventually I ended up at the bread counter. I asked for a loaf of whole wheat, oh we don't sell that was the reply. Ok then I'll have just a loaf of white bread we don't sell that was the reply. So I said what do you sell, anyway I endit up with a loaf of 9 grain & a sour dough loaf. At $4.00 each !!!. Way too much for small loafs of bread. In the mean time I had lost my wife, she was somewhere in the maise of aisles. Anyway I won't be going back there. A bad selection of expensive breads and bazzar store layout. I would give VBS a *** rating only because the place looked clean.

I tried their salted caramel cupcake and it was delicious. It was a great surprise to look up their Yelp business page and see the variety of things they offer. I also had a great conversation with everyone who was there, including the baker. I am not a huge fan of baked goods in general, but this place had my mouth watering for more. I can't wait to stop buy and try more of their stuff this weekend.

I 'forced' myself to have multiple visits before I reviewed it. I know, cupcakes are tough…read more I went to Cupcake Junkie twice to get cupcakes for a fam jam. I ordered a dozen fresh ones and they were fantastic. I also bought day-old cupcakes and there were also fantastic! Don't shun the day-olds! The variety isn't as good as the fresh ones, but I didn't hear one person complain as they were quickly devoured. What I enjoy the most about their cupcakes is that the cake isn't sweet, the icing and filling take care of the sweet. I'm not saying the cake is blah, I'm saying the cake not being sugary balances them so your teeth don't hurt. The 3rd visit was to pickup my Valentine's Day treats! I ordered 6 vanilla minis, 6 chocolate minis and a heart shaped Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake. As a chocolate addict, I thought I would like the chocolate ones more, but the vanilla minis stole my heart. The picture of the cake is deceiving. I expected it to be just a heart shaped cookie, but it really is a cake! The best way to describe it is a fluffy cookie; it was freaking awesome. I should've got one for myself. ;) My last visit was for a light supper. I had some time to kill, so I ordered a pulled pork sandwich on a kaiser combo and took a seat. It's a very cozy venue, but not crowded. All of the tables were clean and the large windows let lots of natural light in. I had a coffee while I waited and they brought me a housemade marinara sauce and flatbread. Delightful! It was warmed up and had a little heat; I could've eaten the whole thing, but I had to leave room for my sandwich. Their coffee is fantastic; it comes from a local roaster called Trebilock.The kaiser was fresh and the pork was slow-cooked to perfection. The coleslaw on the sandwich was a nice twist. It was crisp and saucy, just how I like it. It was a great meal. I'd love to try their other sandwiches! I'm not done! I got a combo, so it's cupcake time! So many choices, but their Facebook posts convinced me the try the Cupcake of the Month. Each month they have a creative cupcake featured that you must try. From all of their cupcakes I've tried, my favourites are Red Velvet, Banana Chip, Maple Bacon, Chocolate Mint and Vanilla. I haven't tried them all, but I haven't had one I didn't like! The warm weather is coming, so I know I'll be back for their Kawartha Dairy Ice Cream! A welcome addition to Whitby. It's got great food and friendly service. They will make you a cupcake junkie!

I had their Bifana sandwich, a Portuguese style grilled pork with caramelized onions on a fresh bun. It was a rustic sandwich with good flavour. My friend had the Chicken Caesar Wrap and that looked and tasted good. Of course, we couldn't be in a pastry shop without trying their delicious looking pastries. A pineapple topped bun caught my eye with its bright yellow colour. It was delicious and I ate the whole thing! My companion had a selection of pastries, mostly chosen by her young daughter. They were good, too! Tina's Portuguese Cuisine shares the space with them, offering more substantial meals. They specialize in Portuguese chicken and other favourites, with catering available. My friend tried their Shepherd's Pie. It was a generous serving that resulted in leftovers. While I usually prefer a more substantial meal for lunch, this food was good. I'll definitely come back for their fresh breads and pastries!

The icing we had ordered was butter cream icing, and that icing had no butter cream taste, it was grainy texture of sugar icing, very disappointing. We had chosen the floral decoration of mixed colours and that was just so so, we had seen much better. A couple of days ago before the pick up date I had left a phone message requesting a change to the writing on the cake. I even phoned very early on the pick up date to make sure that the message was received. Guess what....nothing was changed...wonder if the cake was even freshly baked. Would I go back? Probably not.

Until I found Belle Vie, I would go to Toronto to get good croissants but by the time we come home, it is past branch time, and missed the opportunity to enjoy the "easy and cozy at-home brunch time". So - discovering Belle Vie was such a big deal for us. They do not have eat-in space, but it finally saved our hustle, and gave us peaceful weekend brunch time at home! Belle Vie's croissants are one of the best that I have had. Excellently flaky, light, and buttery. Other pastries that I got are also great - all of them. the apple danish had eggy, smooth custard in the center with a nice fresh vanilla aroma. The pear danish had almond flavored-filling. Making this subtle and delicate difference in the danishes - demonstrates their sophistication. The Creme Brulee packs a richness of egg and vanilla with a smooth texture. The coffee was also aromatic and smooth - glad to find a place for good baking goods and coffee to take out, to enjoy our easy weekend brunch at home. I cannot wait to visit here again! * Note: they have several European cakes - order two days in advance. Their list includes Opera - my favorite cake, will try it soon!
