Let me start by saying there are not many authentic French bakeries outside the downtown core, so it's such a relief when you finally find one in the GTA. In comes Tradition de France. Right when you walk in, you are greeted with a "Bonjour!". They offer a wide variety of items but I mostly just come for the croissants and more specifically now, the almond croissants. I'm not gonna lie, they're pricey. It's $6 for one almond croissant BUT, take a look at my pictures. The size of one of these is my face+. You're insane if you think I personally, could finish one of these in one sitting lol. This is defs a two-part pastry lol. This croissant is so big and does not look like your average croissant but boy is it GOOD. It's buttery, no fake almond extract taste present and the almond filing texture is just right. It's filled to the point where the bottom of the croissant gets a little soggy, which is exactly what I look for in an almond croissant. The plain butter croissant is also perfect. Flaky and buttery with all the layers. Again, it's so hard to find authentic French bakeries outside of Toronto, so Tradition de France is a good place to start, if you're looking to get your croissant fix.

Danish Pastry the way it should be!…read more If you ever wonder why everyone raves about how good their pastry in Denmark, I really suggest coming here for a taste without flying there! This is as close as the "real" thing! They imported a special machine that able to make a fresh baked Danish dough with no less than 27 melt-in-your-mouth layers. 27 layers! One bite is all you need, specially you love how light and flaky it is! We got 6 different ones to try. They were so good and we finished 3 on the spot and I just kept staring at them when I got home as I just want to have them all right away. I already request to have a stop next time when I am in the area or just make a special detour. They are just that good! PS. Try one of their coffee make fresh from the special beans imported from Copenhagen, perfect to go with one of their pastries!

Tip: Sign up for Breadcrumbs to earn points towards vouchers and more…read more A few Wednesdays ago, after work, I was meeting up with a friend for dinner in downtown Oakville. I arrived early. I was parked along Thomas Street and headed to the restaurant. Along the way was this COBS Bread. I had to go in. There were a couple of folks ahead of me. I was happy about it, because I needed some time to figure out what I wanted. I saw samples of the peach and mango danish on the counter. I knew that I wanted to get both a danish and a sample. When it was my turn to order, I got a nice woman who was patient with me as I figured out what I wanted. I love the danish pastries at COBS Bread. They are divine. I got one each of these danish pastries: - Peach and mango - Strawberry She asked me if it was okay to pack each pastry in its own paper bag. I was game. I was going to devour them in any form. I had my Breadcrumbs QR code scanned to earn points towards a voucher and more. I then paid with a credit card. Done! She handed me my baked goods. I thanked her for her help and left the store. I walked back to my car to safely stow my goodies. I then headed over to the restaurant to meet up with my friend. When I got home, I had the peach and mango danish. It was summer in a danish. The fruit was yummy and naturally sweet. The pastry was flaky and chewy where they should be. It had powdered sugar that added a touch of sweetness. So good! I had the strawberry danish the next day. It was delightful. I loved the cubes of real strawberries. It wasn't too sweet, which I appreciated. It was nice dropping by this COBS location. When I'm in the area again, I'd drop by to get more baked goods. (308)

I heard lines can get pretty crazy on weekends so I stopped by just before open on Wednesday and there was already a group of 7-8 folks meandering the area waiting for them to open. FOOD (5/5) Ham & Cheese Sandwich - 5/5. Flatbread style sandwich filled with classic ham and cheese, but enriched with bechamel, caramelized onions, and kimchi. The kimchi is what takes the sandwich to the next level with the umami fermented acidity balanced with the creamy bechamel. The flakiness of the bread was also great. Recommend getting it warmed up! Mushroom Quiche - 3.5/5. The quiche is a bit untraditional in the sense that it's perimetered by flaky puff pastry. The quiche body was light and well seasoned. The mushroom topping was a nice addition but difficult to eat with the quiche and firmer pastry crust. I do wish there was more overall mushroom flavour in the dish. Rendang Shepherd's Pie - 4.5/5. Rich and flavourful rendang (Indonesian beef stew) filled in a buttery tart and topped with a whopping amount of whipped potatoes. Flavour is absolutely on point and has all the right spices and coconut-iness of a rendang. My gripe with it is it is very difficult to eat since the potatoes are piled on so high, so it makes a huge mess trying to fork through it. But overall delicious and would recommend getting warmed up! DRINKS (0.5/5) Pistachio Cold Brew - 0.5/5. House cold brew with maple syrup and a pistachio cold foam. The coffee was astringent, weak bodied, and because it was cold the maple syrup didn't blend well leaving it sinking to the bottom even after mixing. The cold foam tasted hyper artificial and also weak bodied meaning the drink was just a watery concoction. Do not recommend. Apple Pie Matcha - 0.5/5. A Fall seasonal iced matcha latte that replaced the viral Banana Matcha. Wow this was disappointing. Matcha was watery, thin, and grassy (mind you I love the umami of matcha) and the flavours were just a big miss. Same issue where the maple syrup did not dissolve well so it was inconsistent through the drink. The toppings to make it more "apple pie" like was a crunble of sorts which is was good on it's own but was difficult to drink as part of the overall drink and got soggy over time which meant it clumped with the undissolved maple syrup and clumpy matcha. They use Hokusan matcha which I'm not a fan of. Avoid this please. VALUE (4/5) Pastries are pretty decently priced and you can taste the quality of ingredients and care put into each baked good. As mentioned above, highly do NOT recommend getting drinks. SERVICE (4/5) Staff are friendly and helpful and offer to warm up food if you're eating in. My shepherd's pie came out cold in the middle even after warming for 8 minutes and they gladly offered to reheat it. LOCATION (1/5) Located in Oakville in a neighbourhood with lots of industrial/business parks. Can only really get here by car, and for most folks coming in from Toronto, it's quite the drive. OVERALL (3.5/5) Tatin definitely deserves all it's accolades as top bakery because their pastries are delicious and creative. Despite scrumdiddlyumptious pastries, their cafe drinks are just straight up BAD. I couldn't even truly finish them which taints the whole eating experience.

They serve you tea samples to smell and see if you like caffeinated or not. They come back to give your tea in a pot. Afterwards they give you the "magic towel" in a bowl to wash your hands/fingers. The food comes out with the staff explaining each level. I really enjoyed all of them, scones were the right softness to some crunchiness. The apple strudel was the right crisp and warmth. Cheesecake was delicious too and I don't even like cheesecake. The owner also gave a heartwarming thank you speech to everyone and wishes for the parents-to-be. It felt home-like. I would come here again if I was in the area.

Patisserie D'Or has been on my bookmarks for YEARS and I just stopped by since I was finally in…read morethis area of Oakville! Honestly, my first impressions of the interior weren't great. It looks really tired and dated, in desperate need of a refresh. Interior is more small town general store as opposed to French patisserie. The refrigerated display was covered in condensation so honestly, it wasn't invited and difficult to see the cakes/tarts that were hidden behind the water droplets. I felt as though this did a HUGE disservice to the baker 'cause this definitely prevents people from being able to properly see the products. Adjacent to the display case, were croissants (chocolate, almond, plain) and pain aux raisin. Clearly some items were in demand because there were less of certain items. Plain Croissant was $4 which, based on the size isn't too bad. "Fancier" croissants were closer to the $5 range. I didn't see any fresh bread, but they had frozen bake-at-home ones in the fridge. Not sure if it was because they were sold out. I got the pain aux raisin and it was pretty good! Not super flakey, a bit more moist, but not dry either. Not super buttery. This was in the early afternoon. And the pain aux raisin was DEFINITELY better than the poor example that I had at Gouter (Etobicoke). That was tiny and not very fresh! Overall, Patisserie D'Or could've been better, but if it's in your neighbourhood, it's probably a bonus.

The tea house is along Kerr street, I would actually say the more busy part as there are a few well known restaurants in this area. The parking situation is in fact paid unless you make a visit after 6pm or on Sundays. So I made a visit on a weekday night around 5:30/6pm and they weren't crazy busy but had a decent flow of customers. I do like how visual the drinks are as there are a number of posters showing what each drinks look like. I opted for the recommended drinks which are marked on their menu. I got the lychee dragon fruit green tea as I was trying to avoid the dairy beverages. This choice was yummy and very refreshing! The hubs ordered the mango green tea and he also really liked it. There was a mishap with the ice level but the staff rectified it immediately - great customer service! Did I mention that I made another visit the very next day? I sure did, but tried something different, the Deluxe Purple Yam. I did like it but it was certainly too milky for me
