Popped in, while they were out of nearly everything (can't base a rating on that, unless its a constancy) we did choose to grab some soft serve and a slice of cake to share. The soft serve, to me did not delight as the suggestion of the sorbet and vanilla soft serve swirl did not quite taste right (to me). The Cake slice was Raspberry and Pistachio, and not sure if this piece was old but it was very very dry and crumbly when I was expecting something more moist and spongy.

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.

We came back again on 2025-06-29 for their Mini Cakes, which are so good and not too sweet…read more From 2025-06-17 to 29, when you buy a Mini Cake ($12.50 or $14.00), you get a free Longan Jasmine Mini Cake ($12.50). We loved the Longan Jasmin Mini Cake, so we had to take advantage of this special! We ordered the Matcha Pandan Mini Cake ($12.50). Both cakes were so good. You won't regret it! Review 2025-122

The cake features delicious ube flavour, a soft and airy whipped cream layer, a fluffy cake layer, and a unique sticky rice base infused with ube. The sticky rice is the best part! I also tried their matcha pandan cake, but it wasn't my favourite. The bitter matcha powder on top was overwhelming and took away from the overall experience, so I'll be sticking to my favourite ube cake from now on. One thing I've noticed is that the box cakes have gotten smaller, but thankfully, the price was adjusted to match the size reduction.

I generally don't do coffee shops, but may have to start a new habit…read more I popped in one blustery cold morning and had a flat white with one of their chocolate chip brioche buns. It was perfect. Not too sweet! Just enough chocolate that had the bitter edge to it. The service will great, and the ambiance was calm and elegant. Definitely will be going back again.

This place missed the mark for us, though it's clear to see it's quite a popular spot in the…read moreneighborhood. The iced coffee had a strange unwashed cup smell to it, perhaps from dishwashers that needed a clean-out. Flavorwise, it was watered down and bland. The speciality is the marvellous meringue, which for us was less than marvellous. A good taste, but super light, like eating air. Save the inflated price and make something similar at home with egg whites and sugar (thats it!) Staff were rushed and brusque. The spot is cute, though!

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!

As the colloquialism goes, "big bang for the buck." We purchased a few items as we were on vacation and I swear the cashier gave me the disapproving look as we spent less than $15. They prefer cash but if you spend $15, you can use a debit card.

You can immediately tell that the butter used in their croissants is of the highest quality, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. I paired it with a large glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, which had just the right amount of pulp, and a plain croissant on the side that was equally delicious. The true highlight, though, was the pain au chocolat loaded with premium chocolate that melts in your mouth. Arash, the owner, is incredibly warm and welcoming. He makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. I'm definitely going back soon, and I highly recommend giving this place a try if you have not already.
