Came here at around 3:30 on Monday for their cakes! Unfortunately, the small cakes were all gone for the day (except for the whole cakes) - so I grabbed what was left - two almond croissants. LOVED this. Because it is left does not mean it is not good. The flaky buttery croissant embraces apple custard filling with a hint of cinnamon, topped with toasted almonds and a thin layer of crisp biscuit/cookie crust. Delicate. Layers of textures. Light but rich. Also impressed by the friendly & passionate patissier. I will visit here whenever I have a chance! read more

Fleur Du Jour - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Just needed something sweet and picked this up this morning. It was light and the chocolate was not too overly sweet. It was enjoyable. The shop is pretty austere inside. They only had a faintly limited amount of options to choose from but I'm satisfied. The clerk was very accommodating. Sorry, but I didn't make an effort to remember the name of this pastry. read more

Fleur Du Jour - It's a chocolate pastry if some sort. Sorry, I don't remember the name. - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Picked up a carmelize croissant from this little bakery on St Clair. Delicious! So many types of croissant available. I'll definitely be back. Two notes: debit or cash only and limited seating but regardless, lovely little spot. read more

Amazing pastries! Service was great. The owner is lovely and polite. Ambiance, it was busy today. Hadn't been in before on a Saturday. Space to sit, seemed too lively for me. Needed somewhere more quiet today. read more

Fresh, flaky croissants - definitely the best thing there. It's authentic French staff who holler at each other in French. Workers and bosses not always wearing their masks properly. Call ahead to reserve your treat as they often sell out throughout the day. Lovely shady patio. A gem read more

Fleur Du Jour - Almond croissant: sooooo good - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Came in with about half an hour left until closing for a quick bite. End of day selection was limited as expected, but quality was still on point. Whoever was behind the counter (didn't get her name) was really patient with me, I didn't feel rushed at all. Would love to come back to try the other items. Can't remember the name, but I got the croissant with brie and prosciutto. The croissant itself was wonderfully crisp, flakey and chewy all at the same time. Definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

Best croissants west of Yonge St. The cakes are the best in the city. A must visit for those who like cake and croissants. Go early though. They sell out. read more

This quaint little French patisserie was recently opened by a nice couple who lived in France for many years. Upon walking in I was greeted by the the wife who was happy to walk me through the selection of little cakes and pastries that they offer. She explained that her husband was trained as a pastry chef in France. When I arrived at 4:30pm, they had a limited selection of cakes and an even more limited selection of croissants. I opted to purchase the Rocher (similar in appearance to a Ferraro Rocher except made with almonds), the donut tatin (a beautiful pastry that looks like a donut with a gorgeous caramel glaze and apples and pastry crust inside), a passion fruit cheesecake (one of the gluten free options), and a butter croissant. The donut tatin had a nice crunchy pastry crust and apple filling. However I found it much too sweet for my palate. Perhaps if less caramel was used or the white chocolate stripe around the finished pastry was eliminated, this would be a better in my opinion. The passion fruit cheesecake had a lightly sweet, milk chocolate and crispy rice cereal base, a tart passion fruit gelee centre, and a creamy cheesecake dome with a generous drizzle of the same passion fruit gelee. Although also on the sweet side, I appreciated the tartness of the fruit flavour which helped balance the creaminess and crunchiness found in the various components of the cheesecake. The butter croissant was light, flaky and delicious. Sadly I was looking forward to trying their almond croissant. Although I didn't get to taste the Rocher, my in laws tell me it had a similar puffed rice/chocolate base with a chocolate and mocha mousse that was overall less sweet than the donut tatin. The cafe seats 11 people (including 3 child sized chairs at a children's sized table). While it lacks the polished packaging of other established bakeries and lacks the wow factor in physical space, the pastries and cakes stand up in terms of appearance and flavour. I also appreciate the gluten free options (which seems atypical for a French patisserie) and the focus on seasonal type ingredients whenever available. On weekends they carry savoury pastries and a limited selection of full sized cakes. I will definitely be back as it's only slightly off my home bound route from work, as I'm very interested in trying their almond croissant. 3.75 stars read more

Came here during the lockdown and they are still open and happily serving orders for takeout and disinfecting their POS machine after every customer. Going to keep this review short and sweet, but the owner was so delightfully French. He kept switching back and forth between English and French, it was so refreshing. While I came here for their cakes, I got the apple one, it was their croissant that really impressed me. I'd have to say the best croissant I've had in awhile. It was flakey, but also light and airy, not overly buttery and super soft on the inside. read more

Came for dessert after lunch around 1 pm. The display initially looked disappointing- there was not much selection left of anything. It seems we came in between waves of pastries coming from the oven. Soon the empty shelves made sense. The dark chocolate pastry was extremely decadent with a gooey orange jam center. The dark chocolate mousse had some cake base that was pretty sweet but not overpowering. If you love dark chocolate and citrus together, this is the pastry to get. The apple tart was equally amazing. I could eat the dough alone. I was so amazed I purchased the last apple tart for later along with the apple turnover pastry and an almond croissant. The lady at the front was extremely patient and answered all of our questions. I can't wait to return, I just gotta come earlier when everything wasn't sold out. Prices I thought were high but after tasting the first bite, it was well worth it. read more

Mon dieu, this place is amazing. I haven't had pastries this good since Patachou on Yonge closed down. The pastries are flaky without being too crumbly, buttery without being greasy and tear appart into lovely layers. The Pain Suisse is an absolute MUST, its one of the best things I've ever tasted. Bien fait Fleur de Jour! read more

Fleur Du Jour - My morning haul in their cute little bags - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This place makes the neighborhood more wordly. It is an artisanal contemporary style French patisserie that has a small number of delightful, delicious and dreamy confections. Their croissants? Perfect! Their Pain Suisse? Sublime! Madeleines? Buttery, soft, and addictive! They also have lovely pastries all created with a lovely integration of mastery and innovation. Great service. Be nice and use your French! They also make quiches and Gallette du Roí (yes, with surprises inside!). Drool! read more

Hands down one of the best French pastry shops around! The service and hospitality are what you'd expect from a family runned shop! The owners are enthusiastic, energetic and sweet! The pastries they make in house are unbelievable so it doesn't matter what you get, you're gonna be satisfied and those taste buds will be pleasured for days! Did I mention the croissants?!?! I would eat one of these everyday for the rest of my life! One of my favourites is the almond croissant. It is my favourite almond croissant of all time! It is a must try for sure. But their classic croissant is just as good! I'd suggest going early on to make sure they have what you're looking. If you're in the area it's a must stop! Keep up the amazing work! Wishing Fleur du Jour nothing but success for the years to come! read more

I have NEVER been treated so rudely in a cafe. AND after COVID! Owner clearly doesn't care about the customers at all. Gruff, rough, and mean. He nastily refused to cut our croissant (he said "I don't have a knife!"), he yelled at us for asking for water ("I don't do business this way") , and he said he would charge me for ice for the tea he then refused to make because ice tea isn't on the menu (I said I'd be happy to pour the hot tea over the ice myself). He tried to charge my friend for plain tap water after we already bought $20 worth of croissant on a hot day. When he practically kicked us out for bothering him, we said this would be our last visit. His answer was: "Good!" It's really too bad because the croissants are excellent but we were treated like dirt. The sign in his window said "Buy local or bye bye local." We came to support local but bye bye to this place. Nicer and kinder post COVID places to visit. read more

I first tried treats from Fleur Du Jour at my friend's dinner party and loved all of them. I finally visited the patisserie recently just 1 hour before closing , so there was very little left. I bought the Rocher - it was amazing. This place is the real deal - understated , they don't even have a sign but their cakes are fantastic. I will be back earlier in a day to try their viennoiserie. read more

Had the prosciutto brie crossiant filled with cream fresh out of the oven. It was buttery, flacky, flavorful. Though the price is steep. With tax it comes $ 7.75 for this small crossiant. read more

Best croissants and fine patisserie in town! This caffè is run by an attentive lovely couple who lived many years in France. The ambience is relaxed, familiar and welcoming. The croissants are so thin and crispy that they melt in your mouth, and for less than 2.50$ each! As for the sweets, you will be getting pretty and delicious author desserts so beware that they aren't cheap --we are talking about 6 to 10$ each but they are worth every penny. One of my favorite places to have coffee and pastries on St Clair west! read more

This is the real deal. Everything I tried is really amazing where it's not too overly sweet like most North American dessert places and it is just the right level of sweetness. I tried the Rocher which is incredibly rich and creamy. read more

Another five star review for this excellent French pâtisserie. As a French, I can totally endorse this place, and tell you that yes, it's the real deal: it tastes the same or better than 6000km away. read more

This has quickly become my favourite neighbourhood bakery! Their breads and pastries are full of flavour, perfect texture, and just the right amount of sweet. Try their hot chocolate - not too sweet and just delightful. The staff is always smiling (behind their masks) and so kind. Thank you for the great service! read more

Very friendly and welcoming - we strolled in while walking by and decided to try the croissants. The chef is apparently recently moved from France and you can tell - the croissants are a-mazing! I'll be back! read more

Amazing croissant. We are happy to share this great pastry with our baby. Great job Luc!

The galette is also fantastic although beware they are authentic and use almond filling - not apple.
