I have been sick of seeing those "Japanese inspired French" bakeries that have fake-y heavy make-up decorations for their storefront and products, totally losing themselves. This place is not like that. Very reserved. I felt that when stepping in the space. I got: # Ryusei: Interesting looks. Hazelnut sponge cake with coffee flavoured ganache, topped with a thin big sheet of black chocolate. I was impressed by the quality of chocolate. Sponge cake had flavor-filled chewiness to it. # Hana: Again the almond sponge cake's texture was not light. But the mousse had real pineapple flavor which was endorsed by finely shredded coconut. # Ren: The sponge was flourless. Texture is dense, really really chocolate forward piece. # Kurumi: To me, this is the best among all cakes. Almond sponge cake was flourless, but nicely moist. Caramel butter cream was not too sweet & nicely bitter. It had generous amount of walnuts on top! # Misaki & other fruits mousse cakes: Design was simple and not as sophisticated, so was the texture. Mousse was not as airly, however, the mousse's taste was very well balanced, hitting the perfect balance of fruits' tangy-ness and sweetness. # Plain croissant: LOVED this. Light and airy, good buttery aroma, when torn I saw the layers and air pockets making a beautiful honeycomb structure. Outer layer is crispy, saltiness is perfect. All reasonably priced, modest, and this croissant! No wonder this place has been loved by the local community!

The neighbourhood might not remind me of Paris, but the pastry kinda does. I think the problem with all French pastries in North America is that we don't have the quality butter.

I always enjoy supporting small, independent bakeries, and this neighbourhood shop has a warm,…read morewelcoming feel. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely pleasant throughout my visit. I stopped in specifically to try one of the bakery's signature items: the croissant. As someone who appreciates laminated pastry, I was unfortunately disappointed. A great croissant should have a delicate, crisp exterior, a light honeycomb interior, distinct flaky layers, and a rich buttery flavour. This one lacked those qualities. The crust was thick and rigid rather than crisp, the pastry was noticeably dry, and it lacked the buttery richness and delicate layers I was expecting. There are many factors during lamination, proofing, and baking that can influence the final result, but this croissant simply didn't deliver the texture or flavour I associate with an exceptional one. Perhaps my expectations are high. I grew up with a neighbour from Paris who regularly made croissants from scratch, and those set a lasting benchmark for me. While the croissant wasn't for me, the warm customer service was a solid highlight. If the review was just just for this aspect, a solid 4.

We also got the Mont Blanc which is supposed to be chestnut purée on meringue. It was really poor. The taste was like the grease from a donut shop. There was Ribena syrup on the bottom which was predominant and too sweet. I was craving chestnut purée and there was zero chestnut flavour or texture present. Pretty disappointed overall. Plus -- a styrofoam container. Won't order again.

I came in to buy about 30 pastries for my coworkers and let the employee know it would be a larger order. In a dismissive tone, she told me I had to wait until the store was empty before being served. I ended up waiting over 15 minutes as new customers kept arriving. The wait itself wasn't the issue--it was the way I was spoken to. When I asked for two boxes, I was told there would be a 50¢ charge for the second one. While that may be store policy, I would expect customers making larger purchases to feel appreciated, not inconvenienced. I left feeling unwelcome and undervalued. I hope the customer service improves because the pastries are excellent.

If you are looking for good Sourdough bread, you should come here…read more I heard about this place as one of the city's first bakeries that introduced sourdough bread. The store looked like a small long-standing store - not too fancy/sophisticated, relatively modest compared to other shops in the area (Rosedale). But had a good air to it. Bought Alsatian Sourdough only. Hearing crisp when cutting the super crispy thin skin, then met with the beautiful, airy, white, soft interior. Such a great contrast! A nice, distinct tangy sensation with a hint of smokiness -smells like an oven! Full of flavor. Good sourdough activates my 5 senses, that is what this sourdough did to me. Delicious. I have not tried other items, but knowing the skills of this bakery, I should try more items from here!
