This is not the first time I had returned food that was spoiled (cream cheese on a bagel and other items). I felt Mabel's deserved another chance as a community business. I did get my money back and ordered a coffee. After drinking it, I felt quite nauseous and then worse. I reached out to the owner who did NOTHING about it. No apology, no offer for a free coffee or even regret for the rudeness. Just a refusal to take responsibility: "all our food is fresh, this never happened type of 'fake news', double talk. I will no longer attend this establishment as the food is too frequently sold after its sell by date. A question to the owner: "how long do you think you can take advantage of customers until none of us are interested in supporting you and why do you feel entitled to hard earned money in exchange for spoiled, old food"?

The bakery is still shockingly awful, if the tooth shattering, impressively tasteless "sugar cookie" I got is any indication. Not only was it the worst cookie I've ever paid for, but holy craps, it was seven bucks! Seven dollars for a cookie that tastes like it was purchased from the dollar store in 2023. I could hammer a nail with it. I would bet serious dough that Metro cookies would beat Mabel's in a blind taste test. The service, focaccia, and salad were good, so that's how Mabel's earns two stars from me. It's just so strange that this place is both the worst and most expensive bakery in Toronto. It's like a quantum singularity that somehow remains popular despite being surrounded on all sides by better bakeries, cafes, and eateries.

One day you get treated like royalty, the next like the piece of gum off the bottom of someone's shoe. Almost like they couldn't be bothered that you are there.

They're in the Crossroads plaza, so it's very accessible and there's ample parking. I wanted to take my daughter out for a little treat. She was finally recovered from a nasty bug so I wanted something nicer than the Tims. Unfortunately, it didn't look so nice when we first came in, because it was busy and the staff weren't able to keep up with bussing the tables. That's how 3.5 became 3 instead of 4. I'm glad to report, though, that things were cleared while we were still there. The Christmas decor made sitting at our table mote cheery. They also have a decent bathroom each for men and women. We chose our treats from the case and our beverages. I ordered a large decaf, but was surprised and disappointed when it turned out to be instant. I wished I had ordered the latte instead. Our cake slices (red velvet and chocolate) were fresh and tasty, very much on point with American standard taste and sweetness. They have a huge selection of both Portuguese and American style goodies to choose from. I love that prices are reasonable. I also appreciated that tipping is still treated as customer discretion. Even though your order is brought to your table after you've lined up and paid, there is no automatic tip screen to deal with before you actually pay. From now on, whenever I happen to be around this plaza, I will be far more likely to come here than the Tims.

I have been to this eatery a number of times over the years. It started off being Pho VietStar. The…read moresame owners had CrepeStar two doors down. They ended up buying the business between the two eateries, knocked down a couple of walls, and renamed the place CrepeStar Dessert Cafe and Bistro. This eatery is located at Aurora Shopping Centre. It's a plaza, so the name can be a bit misleading. There is plenty of parking. My orders have mostly been takeout. I came here a lot during the pandemic when you couldn't dine at restaurants. I have ordered a number of items for takeout, including the following: - Pork belly baos (two) that comes with fries - A side order of gravy - Chicken fresh rolls - Spicy grilled shrimp The pork belly baos were yummy! The veggies were crunchy and fresh. The pork belly was tender and flavourful. I would have put more protein in them, but they satisfied my craving for pork belly baos. If you have been reading my reviews for a bit, you'll know that fries aren't high on my list of sides. I'd rather get onion rings, a side salad, or sweet potato fries. However, I was game getting gravy. The fries taste homemade and weren't oily. You can see bits of potato skin on each fry. The gravy was perfect. It wasn't overly thick. It wasn't thin or salty. Just right. I enjoyed this combo. The fresh rolls are huge here! It was smart that they were separated by a banana leaf. The veggies here are amazingly crunchy and tasty. The vermicelli was done right. The chicken was tender and flavourful. Again, I feel that there could be more protein in it. Maybe I'm just a protein hog. The spicy grilled shrimp are yummy. They were plump and flavourful. My food was impeccably packed and tasted so fresh with every bite. I have dined in once. I had ordered grilled pork belly pho (P8). The owners advised that they were short on pork belly. I got steak, too! The pho here was fantastic. The broth was amazing. The pork belly and steak were tender and flavourful. I loved it! It comes in one size -- generous! I recently came here to pick up Krispy Kreme donuts. They were a part of the Best Buddies Prom drive. This charity that promotes inclusion by creating lasting one-to-one friendships between individuals living with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD and Autism Spectrum Disorder). The owners have an autistic son, so this charity drive was near and dear to them. I ordered a dozen donuts. They were ready for pickup at the end of February. I came here after work. It was easy to speak to a friendly male staffer and tell him my name. He immediately found my order and handed me my donuts. They were Krispy Kreme glaze donuts. You can't just have one. They were so fresh and yummy. Naturally, I looked at the Kawartha Lakes ice cream and sherbet flavours. I decided to get a cup of raspberry sherbet. The cup size was huge! I paid with a debit card. I tapped and was good. I thanked the nice man and headed to my car. I enjoyed my raspberry sherbet. It was delicious and refreshing. Kawartha Lakes does frozen treats right. It's a decent Vietnamese place in Aurora for good eats, which has rekindled my fondness for the town. The sherbet was excellent. I need to return and try the crepes next. (128)
