I usually come here to pick up cakes for special occasion. They're mostly Asian inspired flavours and i like how it's not too sweet. Their macarons are also really good. Service is always great.
What I had: macaron box (9 pcs) $35 Taste: 5/5 The decoration of the macaron was irresistibly cute. There was a good variety of flavours for you to choose from, like pistachio, ovaltine, hong kong milk tea, black sesame and more. None of them were disappointing. Vibe: 4/5 I didn't dine in but it looked nice and spacious from the cashier. Service: 4/5 The staff were polite and efficient.
I love the cakes from daan go! Ordering online is so easy and seamless, and everyone is so nice there! I called the store because I forgot to add a happy birthday sign and they gladly added it to my order for me. They've downsized their location but there are a few seats inside. I've tried a few of their cakes, every one of them are delicious!
Received some adorable animal macarons in Asian inspired flavours. The owner of Daan Go is Christopher, the winner of MasterChef Canada - how cool! There are multiple locations throughout Toronto and GTA so picking up these cute desserts are easy and accessible. I was gifted a set of macarons which tasted great and looked even better. The animals i received were: - Panda (roasted milk tea) 5/5 - Koala (Vietnamese coffee) 4/5 - Cow (Hong Kong milk tea) 5/5 Overall the macaron flavours and taste were impeccable and these make the perfect snack/ gift for any occasion.
Super cute macarons were too hard to pass. $3.50 each was reasonable but the flavors are artificial. The cookies part had the perfect texture, but the cream was artifical. My kids had fun eating these but I won't get them again.
It has been two years since my last review, and a lot has changed. Kudos to Christopher, the owner on winning MasterChef Canada. A little Yelp bio update on the horizon? The Gold Thorn (Durian) cake was such a hit with my mom that we recently got it for another family member's birthday. I can't believe they improved it. Last time, if I remember correctly, was more of a nod of Durian flavours. They aren't shy about it this time around. There are even layers of pure Durian inside the cake. If you're a Durian lover, you'll appreciate the stronger Durian flavour. About three months ago, they also moved out of the Kensington Market location to slightly south of Spadina and Dundas. The shop is larger. I appreciate that they have all their signature cakes in store without the requirement of preordering. The staff told us the Gold Thorn cake would require 2hrs~ to thaw out, which is perfect timing for us. They didn't offer/ask us if we needed happy birthday messaging on the cake, so we had to make do with an old HBD cake topper we had at home. I wish the staff had reminded us about it. Candles, if needed, are $2. Check out my past photos/review of the cake uncut.
I treated myself to the Luckee Signature Cake for my birthday to share with friends and also picked up a six pack of macarons and a Mr. Carrotail and Tira-Meow-Su. I was visiting Toronto from the States so I wanted to try a bunch of things on this trip. The cake was SO GOOD. The outer shell was chocolate and beautifully crafted. The detail is just amazing. The cake inside is vanilla with yuzu and blueberry and the yuzu flavor was so well balanced. We absolutely loved it! The smaller pastries are adorable. The carrot cake in Mr. Carrotail was delicious and I'm not even usually a carrot cake fan. The Tira-Meow-Su was definitely good, but the best part of it is the cute design. The cake itself was good but a standard tiramisu. The outer cup is edible too, made of chocolate. I absolutely loved everything I got and highly recommend this place! They have less expensive items too, like cookies and individual macarons, if you just want to try a small treat, or even bigger Signature and Celebration cakes. The quality is excellent and well worth the money. Last thing -- I recommend ordering online ahead of your event. I'm glad I did, as the Luckee cake is now sold out and even though they have the smaller items in a display, if you want a certain item order ahead to guarantee it'll be available.
Friend traveled to Toronto and brought back the cutest macarons! For being ~24 hrs old without a fridge, they lasted pretty well and were still super yummy and flavorful! Love the creativity of the selection and can't wait to visit myself one day :)
Pro-tip: The macarons are buttercream filled, so if you're not a fan of that type, skip on the macarons. Highlights: Lots of variety in their desserts and macarons and almost all of the flavor profiles really enticed me. I thought the desserts were going to be overhyped and mostly mousse so I was pleasantly surprised to find cake and other textures in the dessert making the price a bit more justified. I would return to try other desserts. Lowlights: The desserts definitely look better in the displays and it's not very sustainable that the desserts are just in plastic containers that are thrown away afterward. I was disappointed the macarons had buttercream filling since I prefer ganaches.
My friend bought 6 slices of their cakes, so I can only speak about the food aspect of this place. The cakes were very unique, adorable (especially the rabbit shaped one!) AND tasted great! We ordered 6 kinds. I don't quite know the names but I they were all VERY good. My friends loved the 315 (it has a a strong tea flavour), while I loved the chocolate one (the passion fruit was a LITTLE overpowering) and the peach one. They have a lot of different desserts as well of all kinds of shapes and sizes. I sometimes worry that a food place might focus too much on the aesthetics rather than the food tasting good, but I can assure you that it looks good AND tastes great!
Black sesame ice cream is top notch! Reminds me of cold and creamy ji mah woo (sesame paste sweet soup)! Cakes were not overly sweet and definitely gets an A+ for design concept. Service was fast and there was a nice seating area in the store.
Flavorful. I ordered the full range of flavors. It was 18. I was delighted how they packed so much flavor in each bite. I really enjoyed the Vietnamese coffee, hong Kong style milk tea, earl grey. To be honest there wasn't any that I would be discouraged to get again. I believe they were 3.75 each but if you bought more it averages around 3.66 each. Cute for any occasions.
Daan Go Ratings: 4.3/5 Food: 4.75/5 - I heard the chef of Daan Go, Christopher was the winning of MasterChef Canda, so I have to try it out plus the desserts all look so freaking cute. I took my boyfriend with me to Daan Go and together we devoured 4 of their signature items. Please see the descriptions of all the treats we got below for more details. - Peach Garden [GET]: My favorite item here. So many layers of deliciousness, and everything just works perfectly with each other. The osmanthus jelly and white peach gelee was amazing, something you'd only expect in a boba drink. I like how it was not too sweet. The yellow peach mousse and peach jam both has a strong peach flavor and floral notes of white peach. Top quality and doesn't taste artificial at all. The crunchy almond base was interesting too, never seen anything like that on an Asian dessert, but added a nice texture to the cake. Lastly, the edible roses were a fantastic touch to the cake, another different note of flavor. - Tira-Meow-Su [GET]: I love a good tiramisu cake, and I like this just equally as the peach cake, maybe more. I love mascarpone cream and creme legere, because of the fluffy, light and smooth texture. I can't resist that. It is layered into an edible chocolate cup with vanilla chiffon cake soaked with Vietnamese coffee, strong and perfectly soaked with the right amount of coffee. It was not too sweet or bitter. You can eat the edible chocolate cup at the end, and probably made from dark chocolate, which I am a big fan of. The marshmallow cat on top is fluffy and literally melts in your mouth. - Mr. Carrotail [GET]: I got this because it was so cute, and I couldn't resits it. I never had a carrot cake before, so I thought it's a good time to try it. The outer layer of Mr. Carrotail is made of cream cheese mousse combined with dulce de leche cream. It was delicate with a light texture. The carrot cake itself was moist and delicious, definitely that best part of the cake! The base consists of chocolate walnut crunch. I love the crunch, tasted like the Asian almond cooked from supermarkets, but unfortunately the dessert was too sweet and heavy for me. I cannot finish the whole thing by myself for sure. - Pandan Macarons [SKIP]: Too hard to pass on these, because they are so cute, so we got one to try. The texture was wonderful, tasted fresh, soft with a nice outer shell, and not stale. However, the fillings are buttercream, so if you do not like that, then I'd say skip on the macarons. They are too sweet for me. They can be a good gift for any occasions. Ambiance: 4/5 - Located near Chinatown, south of Spadina and Dundas. Walking in, the location looks huge, dimly lit, and cute. I later realized that it was connected to a restaurant in the back, so really Daan Go only has the front part of the store. There's a couple of bar stools near the windows, and that's where we sit, because I wanted to enjoy the desserts right away. The space isn't too big, but good enough to taste the dessert, since it wasn't too busy or pack when we are there. Price: 4/5 - The prices are what you would expect for some fancy and delicate dessert shops. The four things we ordered came up to be $30 after taxes. The peach garden was $7.25, tira-meow-su was $8.50, mr. carrotail is $8.50, and finally the macaron is $3.75. It's delicious, so it's worth it. Service: 4.25/5 - We ordered online via the app for a $10 off promotion they have going on, but pick-up was not available until the next day. The staffs are nice and told us to order it, and they will give the desserts to us for dine-in anyways. They are so nice and considerate, so we definitely appreciate that! BLUF: Cute, adorable, and innovative Asian desserts and pastries at Daan Go. They are all very delicious and you can tell the amount of time and details they put into their pastry. I love the Asian inspired flavors and interesting twist they put in it. We would recommend the peach garden cake and the tiramisu, wonderful flavors and texture. If you like sweet treats, give the macarons a try as well, especially the pandan one. I would return to try other cakes slices and the tiramisu again!
This asian bakery is creating cute characters like Totoro into macarons. Currently, they are making Labubu macarons and I was lucky enough to try them! Each Labubu macaron in the set has a different flavor ranging from Ovaltine, Coffee Hazelnut to Jasmine. They also sell artistic cakes (, , ), cupcakes, cookies and Asian-inspired ice cream. To be honest, I did not expect those cakes to be good but I generally enjoyed every bite and detail of the cake. If you haven't tried egg tart, miso, kaya butter toast, lemon tea and durian as an ice cream flavor, this is your chance!! Staff was nice but the place is not too big. read more
Daan Go always the win when it comes to their cakes! Highly recommend the boba mini cake, though the "cup" is on the sweeter side (wont receive the quintessential asian compliment of "not too sweet") all the insides were perfection! Even the boba is better than boba from the different boba shops! Great variety of textures, mouth feel and taste profile. Highly recommended. If you order their ice cream just know some are vegan. I ordered online and this was not indicated unless you scrutinize the pics. But tbh you cant tell (with the taste) until you really analyze it. Also compliments to their designer! Look how fun and inviting the packaging look! read more
Had a variety of their single size cakes which was ordered via Uber Eats, physical location on Spadina. And wow the decor and meticulous detail is crazy, I almost didn't want to eat it because of how aesthetically pleasing they were. I tried the bubble tea, runny egg, pistachio and ramen cake and my favourite one was the runny egg. I thoroughly enjoyed the contrast of the rich chocolate and the light and tart passionfruit. It was very unique and so tasty. I found the bubble tea and ramen cake flavours to be good but didn't like all the other components in terms of texture like the mochi balls and pudding. The last on my list was the pistachio which was to my surprise as I love anything pistachio flavoured but I found the cake to be dense and dry while the lemon was too overpowering. I would like to try more of their cakes and definitely think the visual appeal of it beats no other! read more

UberEats fan - finally got to visit in person. Better in person! Nice interconnected low couches to catch up with friends. Today, I tried their peach cake and it's refreshing! Didn't think I could say that about a cake. Not super sweet which I like. Also had their chocolate chip cookie and it's chewy and tons of chocolate chips. Didn't taste much of the chips in it though. It has a bit of oatmeal cookie texture to it but only very slightly. Overall, not bad and a pleasing cookie. My fave here is the Durian Cake. My partner loves the Coconut Pandan cake. It's too coconut-y for my taste but if u like that then you'd love this. One of my few go-to places for nuanced tasting niche cakes on my dessert rolodex. If u like high quality cakes, this place wont disappoint. read more

This place was huge inside it looked small on the outside. I got the 6 pcs in a box. The macaron designs and packaging were so cute. They had other sweet choices besides macaron. They had flavors like hazelnut chocolate, passionfruit, mango, ovaltine, milk tea, strawberry, and more. The macaron was soft but not chewy inside. read more
I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked up the stairs but a case full of the cutest desserts I have ever seen was not expected. My five year old inner child took over as I carefully decided what scrumptious delight would be making its way into my belly. I tried geometry to figure out how the Tiara Meow Su (a chocolate cup filled with deliciousness and a little cat bathing) would travel. After logic took over, I knew the only thing to do was to go with the macarons. I again tried to decide on which ones I would try, my inner child said "all of them" . I couldn't resist. Now, reading some of the reviews, I didn't expect much but these were very tasty! The box that they were packaged in was just as cute and they sealed it up with a tiny booklet that detailed each cookie. You gotta go, just make sure to take your child (inner and otherwise). You can eat in too, it's a really cool loft style cafe! read more
3 stars for my overall experience at this Daan Go Cake Lab location. If you live downtown or in the west end GTA, this location is closer than the Scarborough one and more likely the one to go to for your sweets fix. Unfortunately, it is a bit inconvenient to get to if you're not from the area and you're driving since parking in the area is limited, especially on weekends if you don't get there earlier in the day. Also, the interior of this location is much smaller than the Scarborough location and the sweets are crammed into their display cases. Cake boxes and other items are crammed behind the counter. It just felt very crowded in there. There just wasn't enough space for customers - currently 2 at a time in store due to COVID restrictions and even then, you have to go in single file to comfortably distance from each other. Bearable though if you're just going in for a quick pick up. This location also runs out of inventory quickly for items such as their cake slices compared to the Scarborough location but seems like they can't fit much in the display cases to begin with. To avoid disappointment, order online ahead of time but read their cancellation policy carefully as you only get a certain amount back if you don't cancel within their given time frames. Ordering a cake online and picking it up from here were also easy enough for a recent family celebration. Just allow some extra time as the time you input online is when they'll have the order ready by but you'll still need to line up with other customers. The saving grace is that their cakes, cookies and macarons have unique flavours and they taste delicious. They have the same items as their Scarborough location if you come early enough. I've tried some things from this specific location such as the 24k mango cheesecake slice ($7) and the campfire cookie ($3) - both are delicious and taste like they're made with quality ingredients. The mango cheesecake has a strong mango flavour and that thin graham cracker crust has a nice textural contrast to the smoothness of the rest of the cheesecake. The campfire cookie is meant to be the cookie version of s'mores and this one is a great take on that. Overall, Daan Go Cake Lab on Baldwin is still worth a visit if you're a fan of quality unique sweets despite some of the location cons. read more

I was Kensington Market and saw that I had Daango bookmarked. Since I was in the area, might as well right? I kinda wanted to see if I could get some macarons and bring them back home since they have the character macarons here but was told that they wouldn't last the trip back to the West Coast. The desserts they have would only last one hour at room temperature (in March though, with weather at 40 degrees outside, did it really change that much though?). Instead of going to try a character macaron (they didn't have a character that matched a flavor I wanted to try, I think), I ended up going for the Lucky Duck ($7), which contains lemon and pistachio, along with the Tira-Meow-su ($7), which has a 24 hour cold brew syrup along with a mascarpone creama and chocolate. And also cuz it's cute haha. I was more of a fan of the lucky duck. I enjoyed the lemon pistachio soup bath, a perfect and well done combination. It had a bit more tart than pistachio which I enjoyed. The dessert was done really well. I also enjoyed eating the duck whoops. The tiramisu dessert wasn't really as strong and the chocolate was just eh - it was featured more so on the exterior as the cup. Wasn't really a fan of the chocolate. The inner tiramisu was a tad better and didn't have a strong alcohol flavor in there. Also I think I should have eaten this one first haha. They don't really have too much space inside and maybe a table on the outside if I recall correctly. The employees also were still doing their character creations and felt more on the distant side rather than try and assist. read more
I've been to Daan Go a couple times. 1st when it was at the Kensington location and now at the R&D location. Overall, it was alright. The desserts were cute and the taste is there. Was it amazing? Not really...it was pricey. However, I am a huge fan of Christopher Siu and was very happy when he won Master's Chef Canada. However, I don't think all the pastries you buy at Daan Go was baked by him. I'm sure it's his recipes but I've been to better bakeries in the city. read more

Spotted this cute little shop a month or so ago while strolling through Kensington Market with the hubster but passed by as we were leaving. Through the window, my eyes were drawn to a spinning macaron tower, each sweet was covered with the cutest ever cartoon character faces. Adorbs!! When planning a surprise for an all cute things lover at work, I knew these cookies would blow her mind. I called ahead to inquire about ordering options and the girl that answered the phone said just to come in and grab what I was looking for as I wanted just a few macarons. I ventured in after work the day before I was to surprise my work colleague and was happy to see they had one of each 18 flavours in stock, so I went with two boxes of 9. Since I was delivering them the next day, I was instructed to put the boxes into a ziploc bag and then place in the fridge to keep the sweets fresh. The next day, the treats looked just as perfect as when I picked them up and my coworker was so blown away with excitement when she saw them - such a hit! A great bakery to find super unique (and tasty!) goodies. read more
These macarons are worth the splurge! We stopped here randomly after seeing the cute display of characters. We thought these were mostly pricey because of the intricate character designs but when we bit into them, they really nailed the flavors here in each bite. Every bite felt light and crispy! The cream was definitely better than expected with a smooth texture. We had gotten the milk tea, strawberry, pistachio, passion fruit and one more that I can't remember. You really can't go wrong with any flavor! read more

Let me start off by mentioning that I regret only picking up a couple of cake slices from here as we were visiting Toronto and made this one of our last stops. Hubby & I enjoyed a slice of the Tiramisu cake & Mont Blanc cake...both were scrumptious. They have an assortment of cookies, whole cakes, cake slices, macarons & other treats. We'll definitely return here next time we're in Toronto. read more

Find the most cute-sy desserts here! I got the Lucky Duck and I was so surprised by the attention to detail, packaging, and it was so yummy! Not overwhelmingly sweet, the lemon curd and pistachio cake/cream underneath complimented each other well with the citrus & nutty flavour. The duck was made of chocolate and the bubbles were crispy. read more
This store is created and own by master chef Canada Christopher siu Amazing and outstanding service the employees are by far those most friendliest people, I definitely recommend coming into this location, durian cake and the mango cake are super tasty, wouldn't go buy any other cakes.

Pistachio (green) chocolate hazelnut (red) Mango (yellow orange) ovaltine (yellow) salted caramel (orange) roasted milk tea (black/white) These were so cute! The attention to detail on each one was amazing. They were so colourful and beautiful. The flavours were amazing. The macaron itself was baked perfectly. Each filling with light yet each flavour was so pronounced. My top favourites were pistachio, mango, chocolate hazelnut & ovaltine! They have so many flavours to choose from as well. I can't wait to try more. read more
You get all the "oooh... aahhh... so cute!!!" - sucks you into the shop. The displayed of their Disney baby and Japanese anime characters in tiny bite size macarons - in a macaron tower - lures you in. Not worth the hype. After you get pass the cuteness (overload); you get sucker into buying a box of 6 macarons... then after 1 bite, you're overwhelmed by disappointment. There's a few location and we tried the Daango Pastry Lab, smaller shop located inside the Kensington Market. Got 1 HK Milktea, 2 black sesame, 2 viet coffee, 1 salted caramel. The macarons tastes stale, not fluffy, not airy... not even 1/4 of what Thomas Keller delivers at Bouchon Bakery. Waste of calories. Waste of money. Buy for cuteness as a gift. Not for taste. read more

Coming in at $25 for a box of 6 is a hefty price, but the taste is worth at least once in awhile treat to yourself. These are absolutely cute and the server was so helpful when I couldn't decide on a flavour. read more
