    Matcha Tiramisu, Ube Coconut, Strawberry Shortcake
    Tab Y.

    This place is a lovely find tucked away behind all the luxury shopping. We ordered three cakes and three drinks for a little over $40. Apparently they've been here at this location for four years, and they bake their cakes daily in the morning. Ube Coconut - sweetened with Ube and coconut, the texture is good Strawberry Shortcake - perfect dessert for those that don't like dessert Matcha Tiramisu - great texture and moist cake packed with green tea flavor Coffees were all smooth and strong as well. Great find! We'll be back tomorrow after some window shopping!!

    Meat lovers omelette, freshly squeezed orange juice

    One year later... still one of the best cafe experiences for me. Nice small patio area on quiet street. Ordered inside and they bring the food to your table. Individual cakes in grab and go section also plated for you. We had the vegetable soup of the day, classic grilled cheese, steak and avocado salad and meat lovers omelette. Everything tasted fresh made to order. Loved the matcha tiramisu and ube cheesecake. So light and airy and not overly sweet for both. My only issue was tea selection is standard twinings changed from my previous visit. I would've expected something higher end for the price. Overall still great cafe and dessert shop in the area.

    We've gotten birthday cakes from Dessert Lady (on Cumberland) several times, and finally dropped by their new Dessert Lady Cafe! The cafe is cozy, with a full lunch menu for those looking for a meal. Otherwise, all their desserts (cakes, baked goods) are on display. I got a slice of their chocolate hazelnut cake and a chocolate chip cookie. Both tasted great. I definitely plan on coming back again when I'm in the mood for dessert.

    I've been going to Dessert Lady for years, so I'm super excited about their new cafe/bakery location on Sultan: it's essentially Dessert Lady on Cumberland but upgraded with a sit down area to enjoy the food and desserts plus an expanded menu beyond cakes? Yes! Location is a tad secluded and out of the way of a main street, but the cafe itself is very cute, nicely decorated, well lit, and spacious enough. Unlike their Cumberland location which only sells cupcakes and selective mini cakes, the new cafe has a variety of whole cakes that you can get slices of. It's a bit on the pricier side ($8) but they do cut you a massive slice. I was really impressed with the cake variety and flavors on display, some of which I'd never even seen in their original location. I had the ube coconut cake: moist coconut/vanilla? cake layered with light ube cream and topped with a coconut buttercream frosting. It was heavenly. I could taste pieces of not only coconut flakes, but actual ube. Don't get me wrong, I love a standard la rocca now and then, but from the quality itself to the uniqueness, Dessert lady cakes are always so much more. Also in love with their ice cream. Super creamy, real ingredients. I don't think I've ever had such pure tasting pistachio ice cream.

    This quiet, tucked-away cafe is the Dessert Lady's second location and its first proper restaurant. An order-at-the-counter eatery, it is casual, yet elegant at the same time. The menu isn't big (which I am fine with - it's easier to decide on things) but what they have is very good. My husband and I went for brunch recently, trying the avocado grilled cheese (him) and omelette (me). They are both excellent, though the sandwich was a bit over-priced for what it was ($12.50 for something that doesn't include a side). However, the sandwich was excellent (when they said avocado, the REALLY meant it!) and the omelette was nice and light. I also like how espresso drinks come with a mini biscotti. We managed to get there while the full breakfast menu was still available (some breakfast items, including the omelette and grilled cheese are on the lunch/dinner menu as well) but didn't order any breakfast-breakfast items like eggs Benedict or French toast. Perhaps next time. My husband and I were both a little surprised, however, that that menu isn't extended on weekends. You can't really call yourself a brunch spot if one can't get French toast (and bennies, especially) at noon on a Saturday or Sunday!

    Lunch set onion soup and bake pepper. Matcha tiramisu cake slide.

    A nicely decorated cafe with awesome cake and decent food at a very resonance price. We had the lunch set + two pieces of cake. Strawberry shortcake: very classic and very delicious. Matcha tiramisu: very strong flavour of matcha, if you're a fan of the matcha flavour you will like it as much as me The lunch set includes bake pepper, French onion soup and a tiny creme brûlée. For $25. It tastes pretty good but not super awesome. With the good portion I think it's worth the $25.

    What a gem! This bakery is tucked into the southeast corner…read moreof Yonge & College, and walking inside feels like stepping straight into Japan. The pastries and mochi breads are absolutely exquisite! I tried the black sesame mochi bread--light, pillowy, and filled with a delightful little white mochi surprise. The crème brûlée almond tart was incredible too, with its thick, eggy custard and a blueberry-almond center. And the Hitotoki matcha tart? Gorgeous and just perfect. It was my first visit, and I discovered the bakery through their 2nd-anniversary IG post. I bought about $20 worth of treats and got to spin their prize wheel--and I actually won the Grand Prize: a limited-edition gold Nespresso & milk frother kit! I literally jumped for joy. Yet another reason to love this incredible bakery!

    It was okay. Tried three items:…read more Matcha Lava Tart - The staff said this had the strongest matcha flavour among their matcha items. But there was no "lava" at all... just a layer of cream sitting on a thick tart base. You do get some matcha flavour, but definitely not that rich and flowing matcha sauce I saw in those online reels. Matcha Mont Blanc - Too sweet. The green noodle-shaped topping is actually made from a kind of bean paste - not much matcha taste, but had a strong bean flavour instead. And again, it was too sweet to my liking. Taro Tart - This one was good. Taro-flavoured cream on top, with taro paste underneath, then a layer of custard with mochi at the bottom. Had a rich taro flavour. Still a bit sweet, but not as overwhelming as the Mont Blanc. Overall it was not bad, although TBH I haven't really found great matcha desserts in Toronto so far.

    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!
