Local cafe in Toronto, known for there Crème brûlée also have drinks and baked foods Service of the staff was nice and friendly. Ambiance was a local small cafe A bit too liquidy to my liking, flavours are there Viet Coffee Pandan Coconut
Craque de Creme is super cute, but everything looks a lot better than it tastes. It's a bit out of the way, but if you happen to be visiting Casa Loma, it's a short walk from there. The interior is a bit cramped and the cafe is take-out only. Both the Lavender Coffee & Viet Coffee tasted like plain coffee, nothing special. The macarons were SO pretty but tasted so mediocre. They had unique flavors (my favorites were the Earl Grey & Chocolate Hazelnut), but they weren't chewy at all. Just very crumbly. The staff is super nice though, our barista explained the menu well and boxed everything nicely (he even wrote the flavors on the box for us).
If crème brûlée is the name it is definitely Craque de creme's game! Most certainly very creative and a variety of creme brulee's spot. They have 2 sizes and have categorized their desserts as alcoholic and non-alcoholic. I have tried both. There is a dozen of selections to choose from. They provide you brulee in mason jars to take home. The flavours thqt I would do again and again are: lavender, fererro rocher, regular, dulche de leche. But there is not a single flavour which I didn't like.
We saw this place featured on blogTO, and were really intrigued by the different flavours of crème brûlée. It's a bit out of the way as I took the subway over, but relatively easy to find once you get off the streetcar. The shop was empty when we walked in (Monday around 1PM). The interior has pretty simple decorations, but the area at the back looked cute with the long hanging lights. I wish they had a proper menu - the options were printed on sheets of printer paper pinned against the wall. For such unique flavours, a well-designed menu will really showcase the artistry. I ordered the vietnamese coffee crème brûlée paired with honeycomb chocolate ice cream. My boyfriend ordered the lychee vodka. I liked his a lot better - the flavour was a lot more prominent - but mine was great as well. Since we stuck around to work, I ordered a standard latte after dessert. The quiet atmosphere with free wifi certainly helps with productivity. If you're in the area, come by for a treat! Undeniably a unique shop and worth the visit.
Five of us braved the winds of winter (while we dreamed of spring) to try Craque de Crème (CdC). I was the one who had pushed kinda hard to try CdC, so I guess my disappointment was probably the most palpable (in my group) after our experience... The whole thing was super inconsistent. The flavors were off with the first couple crème brûlées ($5/each) we purchased: (a) the Ferrero Rocher was not sweet at all (other than the crumble layer on top) and tasted like sugar-free chocolate pudding; (b) the Vietnamese Coffee didn't remotely taste like Vietnamese Coffee and had a weird muddy taste/quality to it. I tried a few bites of the flavors that others in my group had picked, and they varied: Lychee Vodka (it was fine), Bailey's (probably the best of the bunch), and Bourbon Butterscotch (couldn't taste any Bourbon). Those three were all "boozy" so a little more expensive ($6/each), but beyond the Bailey's, they were all largely forgettable. I was so disappointed with the flavors I initially tried that I ended up getting back in line to buy another one. Because, I guess when something isn't right, you should throw more money at it and hope for better results? Dumbness on my part... I ended up picking Honey Lavender, and it tasted like... Honey Lavender. The flavor was actually really good. But it hadn't set at all, and it was practically liquefied when I broke through the caramelized sugar shell. Apparently throwing more money at the problem doesn't work... So either the flavors were bleh, or they were embarrassingly underdone. My feelings when trying a variety of crème brûlées shouldn't range from "... this is fine" to "... this is terrible." Especially when considering that we had spent $33(ish) for those six (smaller than average) crème brûlées. All this to say, "Womp. Womp." [] Summary [] Fantastic concept. Weak execution. I'm not likely to return, but everyone should try it for themselves and decide how they feel. I know I'm sitting here going "meh..." but maybe you'll have better crème brûlées than I did.
You gotta love a speciality creme brûlée shop! So unique and delicious. I tried the Ferrero Rocher and the Classic Vanilla Bean and they were both great, I recommend trying a non traditional flavor like Ferrero Rocher over the original since they're so rare to find. I also got a latte with house made vanilla syrup as I left and it was good (love house made syrups!) The place was intimate and cute, and the man who took my order was friendly and passionate about their products :) They also have a few items besides creme brûlée such as waffles. Definitely check this place out if you're a creme brûlée fan!
Amazing dessert place! They have the cutest macarons ever and some unique flavors as well (yuzu, thai coffee, etc). I got a box of 7 which was over 20 dollars. The macarons can get pretty pricey but in my opinion they are worth the price because they are so cute and taste good as well. A thing to keep in mind is that there is no parking nearby so our group had to switch sitting in the car to buy the macarons. Another thing to know is that they also have cute little creme brulee that you can get in a little jar to go (for an extra dollar to go) and they also have boozy options. Really cute place and worth the visit!
What's better then hearing the lovely enticing crack of your spoon hitting a good sugar crust? The amazing flavour that follows after it! This is my new favourite dessert place by far! There are multiple flavours to choose from and after you choose your selected flavour you get to see the master at work. I'm talking blow torch straight to this sugar crust. I assure you it adds to the whole experience. I ended up going with the salted caramel and Ferror Rocher. Both were amazing and unique in their own flavours. The salted caramel is my favourite flavour and it has the right salty taste to it. My husband did mention that the Ferror Rocher was equally delicious. What else can I say that will help you try this lovely gem spot? Nothing! So get your butt in and try it please!
Awesome little shop! Been meaning to come here for ages, finally in the area for dinner, wasn't quite full enough so decided to check it out! Love how they not only have dozen plus flavours of creme brûlée but also authentic Belgian waffles and homemade ice cream! They offered us when we came in if samples of their ice cream and it got me hooked right away! As I was still a bit hungry from dinner I decided to indulge and try their Belgian waffles! So glad I did, usually I prefer light airy waffles and worry Belgian waffles might be too dense for my liking but nope it was just what I needed! My friend ordered the honey lavender creme brûlée, I had the Belgian waffles with earl grey lavender! Can't wait to come back to check out all my top flavours of creme brûlée! (Ube, pandan coconut, Vietnamese coffee, Earl Grey)
A hidden gem that opened in my neighbourhood! My friends and I decided to check this place out right when they opened! The wait time was roughly 30 minutes at that time, but now there's no line ups. This place is known for the homemade creme brulees and cutely themed macaroons! The pictures are from 2 separate occasions! We decided to give the early grey, ferrero rocher, and salted caramel creme brulees a try. The Earl Grey as probably my favourite flavour! It wasn't too sweet which I like and had a very definitive tea taste! Second occasion, I gave in to the overpriced macaroons! It was for the holidays and I thought my lil cousins would enjoy the designs on these haha! Price: $3.25 each, no bulk pricing unfortunately! They have really unique flavours such as Vietnamese Coffee, Earl Grey, Milk Tea, Passion Fruit, just to name a few! Only downside would definitely be the pricing. There is seating and the place is really cozy!
Craque de Creme is a hidden gem!!! If you go to toronto it is definitely worth stopping. We discovered it through a Thrillist video on facebook and when we visited Toronto near Chriatmastime we decided to stop in and get some creme brulee. It did not disappoint!! We tried the ferrero roche and tiramisu creme brulee and a Belgian waffle. Everything was absolutely delicious. They have a bunch of flavors of creme brulee to choose from and they torch it right in front of you which is fun to watch. The waffles were also very good, we got one that came with ice cream which was delicious. The owner was there and he was very nice and happy to know that we stopped in because of the video floating around on Facebook!
Only one person can enter at a time. I went on a nice Saturday afternoon and even though I saw a customer coming out of this place, I did not have to wait. The staff is welcoming and friendly. The person answered all my questions about the menu. I ordered a salted caramel crème brûlée, one canelé and one black sesame macaron. All 3 were delicious. I am from France and I was missing crème brûlée and it satisfied my craving. I love that they have a lot of different flavors and Asian ones too. I want to go back and try more. They torch the crème for you. I also love that they have re usable containers and wooden spoons that are environment friendly. You can return your container and save 1$ on your next crème brûlée. More businesses should do that. The canelé was really enjoyable too. Would definitely come back for more. The macaron they have are from Daan go ! So I you live midtown and do to want to go all the way to Kensington market, this is where you can go. They're super cute looking and super tasty. They also make ice cream.
I've ordered the Ferrero Roche flavoured while my hubby ordered the salted caramel. I've really enjoyed mine as it was just like eating the centre of Ferrero Roche. I was never a huge fan of anything salted caramel. Since the pooh and Totoro were super adorable, I've ordered one of each. The Poon was supposed to taste like mango, I felt the flavour a little artificial which I wasn't a huge fan of. One thing that I think the creme brûlée can improve is the temperature between the torched layer and the actual layer. This is not a huge problem, will definitely come back to try out other flavours.
A while back, I read about this cafe and its selection of creme brulees. Finally, on a Thursday evening, I had a chance to visit. It was a small and cozy cafe- there were various plants and funky decorations throughout. Also, there was a table, but the area was marked off, so one could not sit. A friendly gentleman came out from the back and warmly greeted me. He asked how he could help, and I asked for his recommendation of the various creme brulee flavours. Based on what I was looking for, he recommended Original Vanilla and Pistachio and those were what I purchased. The cool part was watching how he was freshly making the burnt sugar on the top, so that was a lovely surprise! While doing so, he and I talked about our favourite desserts and dessert cafes. As he recommended, my partner and I had the creme brulees that night for dessert. The layer of burnt sugar was a bit thicker than we expected, so it took a few tries to break the top layer. Each flavour was very true to its name- the top layer was sweet and crispy and the bottom was smooth, creating a lovely experience for our tastebuds! If you are in the neighborhood, highly recommended! read more
I love a good Canele. And after eating a truly horrendous one from a joint that shall not be named, I was on the hunt for a superior version. I'd heard Craque de Creme had a good one on offer, so it was no surprise that we found ourselves walking into the tiny joint on a recent Saturday. The place is seriously tiny, too. But it didn't matter because we just wanted the Canele. We bought a couple and stepped outside to dig in. It's really good. It's got that deep, caramelized flavor you associate with the treat, and the interior was as soft and delicious as you'd hope. It really exceeded my expectations. It looked like Craque de Creme also had some interesting coffee, too, so I'm sure I'll be returning soon. read more

I think their crème brûlée's were a little overpriced for the taste. Some might say this place serves the city's best crème brûlée but I didn't feel like it. They have a very tiny seating area - not even a seating area actually, it's just 2-3 chairs lined up facing the door with your back facing the cashier. It's an odd position but I assume most of their orders are takeouts. We did end up getting two flavours and one in original and the other salted caramel and the latter tasted slightly better coz of the saltiness but the original was disappointing. Had high expectations for this place and travelled quite a distance but the experience wasn't worth it. read more

If you are looking for a good liege waffle, look no more. This place is really good. They also have surprisingly great canales and as you can see from my photos these are so so perfect. Canales are so labour intensive that really, it's worth paying $3.10 to make it right. In terms of creme brûlée they have a huge huge amount of flavours! Coconut pandan was delicious, as was Vietnamese coffee. Liege waffles are still my go to, you can dress them up and they do.... either savory style like bacon and balsamic with sousvide egg or Craque madame which is black forest ham , cheese and sousvide egg. There's sweet ones too like Nutella and strawberries and cream with chocolate sauce . My fave is just to eat liege waffles plain to enjoy the crunchy pearl sugar and chew of these yeast waffles . Location is a bit out of the way for me but still happy to make the trip. It has a steady stream of business as well as delivery people popping in and out and so it's decently busy. They would definitely be my pick for liege waffles and caneles. read more

On a recent trip to Toronto I stumbled across this place in a thrillist magazine article. First off I'll say the concept is pretty cool. Various flavors of Creme Brûlée, waffles and ice cream? What more could you ask for in a dessert! In addition to this they also had macaroons and juices/coffee. During this visit I ordered the waffle and an affogato. Before serving the waffle is popped in a toaster which warms it up and adds a slight crisp to it. It was served on a plate with a bit of powdered sugar. The waffle itself wasn't too sweet which actually was perfect. The ice cream in the affogatto was of high quality which only added to the coffee. All things considered I'd give this place a visit again to try the Creme Brûlée and a few of the other ice cream flavors. read more
A neat little cafe that specializes in its assortment of creme brulee and belgian waffles. Beware of street parking, however - there's a neighborhood relatively close at the next street over to aid your free parking search, depending on what time of day you swing by. I arrived on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all which was perfect. We got the ube creme brulee, and an order of the ferrero rocher alongside a few drinks - matcha latte with white chocolate and a chai latte. The creme brulees were done pretty well, considering that I've never tried a ferrero rocher creme brulee! I loved every bite and wish it was bigger! The ube also wasn't too sweet, and had just the right amount of hint to it. Overall the place is narrow, but has some wiggle room. It's cozy, but the tables attached to the seats aren't as accomodating to the creme brulees and drinks. To me, that was the only downside. The ambiance was pretty casual and it seemed very laid back. Owner, and employee were the only ones there that day and both were friendly, approachable and professional. I enjoyed the mood here and would definitely come by to try some other creme brulee flavours. read more
I have mixed feelings about this cute cafe. I visited last weekend and although I didn't have a negative experience, I feel that this place was overhyped. On the one hand, the owners have created a nice warm space to hang out or study during the day, as well as of course having a wide selection of different types of creme brulee that was thought out. On the other hand, I didn't walk away from this cafe thinking that it was a must visit type of place. Craque de Creme has a few things going for it. Again, the space itself is cute and warm with a few tables for groups and some random university lecture hall style single seats. Also, there is bound to be a creme brulee flavour for everyone - they had ube, matcha, earl grey, honey lavender, salted caramel to name a few. They also had a fun selection of character decorated macarons and some drink choices (teas and lattes). Prices were also reasonable at $5 for each creme brulee for dine in and $6 to get it to go. Service by the sole person working there last Saturday was good - he was helpful and efficient. I think it helped that it wasn't that busy since the roads were brutal in TO that day. The major miss for me was the taste of the honey lavender creme brulee. It looked cute when I first got it but after taking one spoonful of it, I noticed that it was more of a pudding or pureed texture instead of a custard texture. Taste wise, it was okay - it wasn't too sweet (didn't mind) and I could definitely taste both flavours but it was honestly nothing spectacular. I might be open to trying other creme brulee flavours in the future but likely not anytime soon. Other Yelpers may have had a better experience based on the creme brulee that they tried though. read more

I'm going to review this place based on what it is and what it is not. I applaud the owner for innovation in flavors from vietnamese coffee to earl grey, to ferrero rocher etc. The flavor was down pat and I really enjoyed the creme brulee I ordered, which was the Vietnamese coffee. The guy there torched it and then drizzled some condensed milk on top. I have to say texturally speaking, it was more pudding-like/pate-like. I don't believe it was the typical smooth and whipped/custard-y texture you would usually get at other places. However, I really liked the flavor and it was honestly delicious to me. It may not be the "authentic" creme brulee, but I believe this place is a more fusion and modern take on this French dessert. I also ordered a waffle which was sitting on the rack and toasted. I requested salted caramel ice cream, which is house made by the way Overall decent. I highly recommend trying their creme brulee flavors, I don't think you can go wrong with any really! read more
Creme Brûlée is one of my favorite desserts. Love Custard and Love that burnt sugar that you have to break through to get to the sweet custard. When I heard that Toronto was getting it's very own Creme Brûlée Cafe, I was beyond excited. My friend and I decided to check it out after our Valentine's Day Dinner. Good location, Cute Decor but very average Creme Brûlée. We walked in and were greeted with VERY CUTE Macarons! Probably the cutest I've ever seen. I liked that you could choose from a variety of Creme Brûlée flavors. We ordered a Belgium Waffle and an Original Creme Brûlée. The waffle was sitting on a tray and the guy just popped it into a toaster. We decided to top our waffle with Salted Caramel Ice-Cream. The Creme Brûlée had a good burnt layer but the actual creme tasted more like a pudding, it didn't really have that authentic taste. You might like it. The waffle was very chewy (probably because it wasn't fresh). The ice cream wasn't creamy but very icy. Give it a try and let me know, I personally won't go back but maybe I just had a bad experience. Keep Eating, Angela read more

This is a dope mom and pop shop - the owner runs it himself so it's a one man show but he's quick and super nice. Glad to have finally tried this neighbourhood spot and will definitely be back. Tried the pistachio creme brûlée and liege waffle and both were really good.... will be back to try other Stuff but it's hard when you're trying to maintain the abs for the summer. P.S the owner is a hot boy in the building read more

My name is Michele and my last bowl of ice cream was two days ago. I swore I would never eat it again, but when you live on a street with not one, not two, but three ice cream places (this one has baked goods to further the ante), you're doomed. I've tried the others. They don't compare. These are bespoke flavours. Durian; saffron & pistachio; earl grey lavender; vietnamese coffee; buttered popcorn etc. Satan, thy name is ice cream and I am here to sin. read more

As soon as I saw hello kitty macaroons I told my husband we are taking a road trip downtown next week. The location is a bit odd as it's nestled in a residential neighbourhood without too many businesses near by. We talked to the owner and learned that he moved to Toronto from Vancouver because it was too slow and boring for him which begs the question, why open shop here? There's nothing around! We ordered almost everything they have - waffles, macaron, lavender latte and Vietnamese coffee Creme brûlée. I have to say, I've had better. The fillings of the macaroons were too sweet and creamy for my taste. The waffle is decent but it was served borderline cold, would have been better if it was a bit warmer and crispy. I love trying different and exotic flavours of cream brûlée but I think I should of stick to the original flavour instead of trying to be adventurous. The Vietnamese coffee wasn't my cup of tea. Overall, it's worth a visit if you are in the downtown vicinity but don't make a trek here if you are an hour drive away like me. read more

Saw this opened up lately so came by to try creme brulee and waffles when I was in the area. The place has a nice decor, quite fancy looking. As for the creme brulee, I found it just ok. We got the Ferraro Rocher and it basically tasted like chocolate pudding with some torched sugar on top, it didn't have much of a custard taste. They do the torching in front of you so that is kind of cool. I don't wanna be a hater but you can easily make better at home following YouTube recipes. The waffles appeared to be premade and they toast it to reheat it, a bit flavourless and has a strong yeast flavour, this was disappointing. The coffee ice cream I got with it was very bitter in terms of flavour and also not sweet enough. They also sell cute macarons from the guy that was on MasterChef, but I'm not a fan of those, too sweet for me! read more

The Creme brûlée is amazing! I got the Ferraro, salted caramel, and dulce le leche in the small size. My fav is the dulce le leche one. I also got the caneles in four different flavours and they were all very good. The macarons are super cute and the designs were intricate. It's a bit smaller than I expected but still pretty good! A bit too sweet for me but perfect for tea time. Will be ordering again read more

If I can give this place 6 stars out of 5 I would! This place only serves creme brulee, in more than 10 different flavors. They also have home made ice cream, waffles, coffee, and macarons. The outside does not have any big flashy signage, if you don't know to come for this place, you'd miss it easily walking past. Inside is cozy with a hippy decor, 7-8 small tables. The self serve water jug and cute little water glasses is a nice touch. The owner is from Vancouver, and opened a similar creme brulee store there before moving here (very successful also with lots of raving yelp reviews). I can attest to those excellent reviews as Vancouver was my first encounter with his creme brulee. Instant love! We had the London fog and salted caramel. Both were fantastic. I personally like the salted caramel better. Very smooth and creamy. The top layer crunch is just right. The owner pre makes the creme and makes the top crunch part right in front of you with a hand held flame thingy. Quite mesmerizing to watch. Opened recently, and already constant lines on the Friday afternoon I went. What a deliciously unique addition to Toronto. read more
A friend and I stopped by this cafe after a mini-birthday celebration. I knew nothing about the story behind this cafe until I was in the cafe and read a news article via the Toronto Star. Knowing the story behind this cafe made me enjoy the dessert and appreciate the small details in the cafe even more. This place serves over 10 different flavours of creme brule - such as vanilla bean, pandan coconut, lychee vodka and some vegan options as well. They also serve caffeine drinks such as matcha green tea latte, chai latte, cappuccino etc, Belgian waffles and home made ice cream. I opted for the Pandan Coconut Creme Brule ($5) - the owner will use a blow torch for the brule part right in front of you. It was light and fluffy and I didn't feel guilty after eating it. You can also order them for take out as well. This place does get busy after 8pm (I came on a Friday) and it can be slow because of the process of blow torching the creme brule (only the owner does that). The cafe is super cute and has a minimalistic design to it. Come for the dessert, enjoy the atmosphere and go home happy. read more
