I had a very disappointing experience at Aaron Bakery. The cashier's attitude was rude,…read moreunprofessional, and disrespectful. She did not treat customers with courtesy, and I felt insulted by the way I was spoken to. I was also charged $78 when the food I selected should have been about $38 When I pointed out the billing error, instead of apologizing, she told me I should have noticed it before the bill was completed. That response was unacceptable. I was also concerned about the freshness of the food. In my opinion, some of the food did not seem freshly prepared and appeared to have been reheated. This made me question the quality of the food being served. Overall, the poor customer service, billing mistake, and concerns about the food quality mean I will not be returning. I hope the management addresses these issues and improves both customer service and quality control.

I'd been wanting to try the cannoli from St. Philip's Bakery for a while, and I finally stopped by!…read moreI picked up 2 classic chocolate cannolis, 2 pistachio cannolis. and 2 ricotta lobstertails Price & Size: Cannolis were around $4 each, not exactly cheap, but they were quite large. Taste: The shells were crispy, and the ricotta filling was smooth, not too sweet, and overall tasty. The lobstertails were also crispy and creamy. Verdict: After trying the 3 most famous cannoli spots in Vaughan, this one ranks 3rd for me. They were good, but nothing mind-blowing--I wouldn't go out of my way just for these. Of course, this is subjective, so this might be someone else's favorite! Bakery & Service: The store was clean, well-organized, and easy to browse. The staff was friendly, but I wish they had price tags on display. Beyond cannoli, this bakery offers a huge selection of pastries, bread, cakes, deli meats, ready-to-eat meals, coffee, and gelato--so I'd love to come back and try more!

When I attempted to speak, she glanced at a colleague, checked the time, and rather dismissively stated, "We are closed." This was confusing, as several customers were still actively shopping and completing purchases. When I pointed this out, she responded that "this section is closed," despite remaining at the same counter and continuing her work. The interaction came across as unprofessional and discourteous. I would expect a more respectful and customer-oriented approach, particularly when the store is still open and serving others. I hope management is aware of such conduct, as it does not reflect well on the overall customer experience.

It was cool to learn that Seara Bakery & Pastry offers Portuguese pastries and desserts in Vaughan…read more A recent Yelp experience brought me here. This bakery is located in a plaza with plenty of parking. I had no problem finding a parking spot coming from work. Sadly, all the Portuguese egg tarts (natas) were sold out when I had arrived at 5:30 pm. However, I did manage to get a pistachio loaf that looked yummy and ended up taking it home. I have had the following items at this place: - Iced latte - Portuguese vanilla custard-filled donut - Ham and cheese croissant My iced latte was awesome. The woman at the counter asked whether I wanted sugar. I declined it, which made this drink perfect. It was cold. The coffee was smooth. It had the perfect amount of milk. I loved it. My vanilla custard-filled donut came out next. It was cut in half, so I admired all the custard in it. It had sugar around it that was the only sweetness that I got from it. The custard had a mild vanilla flavour and had little sugar, which I appreciated. The donut was more on the egg side of things. If you don't like that eggy taste, it may not be for you. I personally loved how different it was compared to regular overly sweet donuts. My ham and cheese croissant had arrived. When you order a croissant warmed up, it gets pressed in a panini machine. It was different, but it worked. There was a single slice of ham and another slice of cheese in this croissant. It was yummy, but I was yearning for more filling. The croissant had a different type of flakiness when it was pressed to death. I used the washroom before I headed home. Staff here were constantly cleaning tables, chairs, and the washrooms during my visit. The women's washroom is a single stall and it was super clean. My pistachio loaf came up to $8. I paid with a debit card. I tipped and tapped. Done! There are nuts on top of the pistachio loaf, but not in the loaf itself. The loaf was closer to a pound cake, but without a whole lot of moisture. It also had a hint of vanilla or some other extract in it. It wasn't sweet, but it did require downing it with a drink. I ended up taking half of the loaf and making French toast out of it. It turned out nicely. I hope to return to get some natas. There were so many pastries that I want to try as many as possible. (245)

The tiramisu was light, sweet, and had a subtle pistachio flavor. The Mille Feuille was massive! It had crispy, flaky layers and a nicely balanced sweet egg custard in between. Very reasonable prices for all their pastries. If you're in the area and craving some authentic Portuguese pastries, I highly recommend stopping by this charming bakery! :)

Amazing bakery, if you're in the area, highly recommend checking it out.

Upon arriving mid afternoon after the lunch rush, there were still so many people here. Thankfully no line up though. By around 2-3PM the lunch options were all gone (sandwiches, pizzas, etc), which is fine since I came for pastries. I opted for their butter croissant and their pistachio croissant. Both were great and delicious with the pistachio one having lots of pistachio filling. These were good but I wouldn't hype it as much as socials did - still amazing though! There's no seating and is a take out spot only. My pastries came in a paper bag with handles, no box, no wrap which was interesting. Overall, worth checking out for some good pastries in the area.

We wanted something simple but elegant and she knocked it out of the park with that. Not only did it look beautiful but the flavours we chose were all delicious and our guests all felt the same. Since 2019 we have purchased several cakes for birthdays and they have always been delicious especially their cheesecakes which is the best we have ever tried and our go to which is now our family's go to as well.

Local Afghani bakery in Vaughan... What a gem! I came here originally because I saw online that…read morethey sell honey cake, and ended up walking out with MOCHA honey cake and trying Afghani ice cream for the first time. The Afghani ice cream had such an interestingly pleasant texture and rich milk & cardamom flavor. They have two sizes, small (closer like a medium tbh) for $8 or large for $16. The portion is quite large, its stretchy texture allows it to sit on top of itself like a soft serve would. It came topped with crushed pistachios and what I believe was condensed milk? If you've ever had rasmalai before, this ice cream tastes exactly like it. SO GOOD. Mocha honey cake was decent, the texture was on point but I wasn't the biggest fan of the frosting (like a buttercream??) and caramel they used, which is why I docked a star. It was also $9 per slice. I think mocha is a cool spin on traditional medovik, but my expectations were a bit different since I'm used to the traditional Eastern European version where the frosting base should be made with sour cream. Their staff is very hospitable & the atmosphere is cute and very clean. Aside from cakes, pastries, and ice cream, they also sell gelato, large quantities of high quality saffron, organic dried nuts, mulberries, and raisins! Overall, cool spot with a unique dessert I'd highly recommend people from other backgrounds should give a try. The Afghan ice cream is really good and honestly the only thing I'd stick to if I came back.
