The service at this location is always amazing! They have amazing croissants and sweet treats along with some savoury options and many people don't actually know this but their tea is also great. The ambiance is cute and they have ample decent amount of space inside for you to sit and enjoy your tea with some croissants. read more

New decor, now a beautiful little cafe. See comparison from 10m ago :) nice relaxing spot in the hustle and bustle of downtown Toronto! Croissants are flaky and buttery, service is courteous and friendly. read more

I came later in the day and got the golden cheese flavour as it was one of the few flavours left. It was very buttery and flakey and I could tell that it was made a while ago. I found it to taste average (I am no croissant connoisseur!!) and a bit pricey and that they asked for tip too. read more

Hazukido - Golden cheese croissant - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I've been coming here about once every other month since soft opening day because I work in the building. I don't know why, but every time I go here, the experience progressively gets worse. It's very little things, like lack of croissant availability and variety no matter what time of the day or days I visit. The croissant itself is pretty pricey for what you ultimately get both in portion and size. They also seem to have put more priority to their rewards program, because the buy 5 get 1 free deal is now a members exclusive promotion. But I've had their app since day 1 and it doesn't have a great UI, unfortunately. It's been interesting to see how they've grown and branched out to other locations. For some reason, it feels like this location receives the least priority. The size of their kitchen versus what they actually offer never matches up. Anyway, my favourite flavour to order is the truffle crab, hands down. It's like a chowder in croissant form. My most recent visit, I tried the prosciutto sandwich, and it was like they took several layers of prosciutto from a pack and dumped it straight into a croissant. It was very difficult to eat, i was only a fan because it felt like I was getting a good deal because of it, but texture wise I could not bite into it without dissecting and individually separating the pieces with my hands. I also usually buy one of their bubble teas. It's not amazing in any way, but it's also not bad. It's just enough to satisfy a craving. Their drinks used to only come in 1 size but now they serve drinks in a large size cup, which is really great. The price is also cheaper than $7, and with inflation pricing, it feels like a good deal. They have lounge-y cafe seating around the store. It's usually very empty when I visit - I usually come on weekdays at all times of the day between opening to 6pm. Music isn't loud. It's a great environment for relaxing from the busyness that is Yonge/Dundas. I think this place is worth trying and occasionally visiting for a quick craving or treats for others, but I wouldn't expect to be amazed. read more

Gourmet croissant! Was out exploring downtown when I chance upon this croissant place. It's located in a mall/complex kinda of area. And I love how I was greeted by the buttery scent of fresh baked croissants. They have all kinds of croissants, from sweet to savory to plain old original. Dont get me wrong, the original is actually pretty amazing. It's lightly coated with honey and I actually like that best. You can actually call the store before stopping in to ask about the croissants menu for the day. And sometimes, if you have a specific crossiant request, you can ask them about it and they would make it for you if that have the ingredients available that day. (That's how I managed to get the chocolate hazelnut croissant). Kudos to that! Salted egg yolk taste pretty much like the salted egg yolk bun from dimsum places. So if you like that, you gonna like it. Golden cheese was pretty much a surprise to me. I enjoy how not only is there cheese on the crossiant, there's also gooey cheese in the center of the crossiant! Chocolate hazelnut was amazing. I don't really need to explain much, it's coated in dark chocolate with hazelnut bits on it. Would be perfect if there's also chocolate hazelnut in the center of the crossiant too! It's definitely worth trying and do sign up for their rewards program! You get 10% off online order and free drink on your second purchase! read more

Dropped by right around their opening as this was the only bakery open in the area on a modified Christmas Monday. Decided to opt for theirs buy5 get 1free promo. The packaging and care they have for their croissants is definitely reflected in their price. Honeycomb croissant is their most basic and it's small, buttery and flakey. Chocolate had the same base with chocolate inside which I definitely enjoyed. Salted egg yolk also had the same base with a small pump of salted egg yolk in the middle. Could have used a bit more. Overall great to try to satisfy my curiosity but at the price point there's definitely better options. read more

I think this place gets a high rating due to their "gourmet" presentation/ambience but it's just another bakery At the time of this review, I haven't tried the croffle but the salted egg croissant was definitely a hit! It had everything you want when you hear "salted egg", however, the outer layer of the croissant was a bit on the sweet side and it wasn't as buttery as I thought it would be. As well, for the price, it's on a smaller end. The drink was a disappointment - the brown sugar didn't mix well into the drink despite several attempts at mixing it. As a result, it was either really bland or sweet Go try it for yourself if gourmet croissants are your thing, but I don't think I'd come back here. There's another croissant place in North York that has unique flavours at a more affordable price read more

Location/Service This place is located right in the heart of Yonge and Dundas, west of the Eaton Centre. Parking within side streets are available or you can park at the Green P by Dundas Square. The place is not that big, I don't see any seating arrangements - so I assume it's more for a buy and go experience. The layout get a little narrow as you enter, which I though was a little awkward to see all their pastries after you pass the cash register. But staff were nice and friendly and made good recommendations as a first timer. Food I ordered only 3 croissants to try - a honeycomb, hazelnut and caramel almond. All of them were consistent in terms of its texture - soft, flaky and very buttery. The different flavours add a nice bit of kick - I personally like hazelnut, so I like that one the best. In terms of price, it is reasonable, but I don't eat enough croissants to know if it's justifiable. Overall this place is good and nice to have an option of pastries in the area. read more

Another viral cafe with the pretty exterior but lacked in ambiance. Not very friendly staff just like a conveyer belt line of people in big white chef hats . We tried the croffle which was super hard and sticky and a cube croissant which the exterior was hard and overly packed with a chocolate sauce ( like a Nutella without the hazelnut flavour) it made a cute photo but would I return ? Probably not ! read more

It's the smell that draws you to Hazukido. The smell of butter and bread, mixed and risen and crisped to perfection. And while the actual croissants didn't quite get to the level of that glorious smell that wafted out from Hazukido, they were still very good - rich and buttery and flaky in all the right places. A tad small for their price, and would have wanted a bit more filling. That said, enjoyable all around. read more

Hazukido - Box of 6 croissants (buy 5, get 1 free) - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

To clarify my visit on 2020-11-07, it was their 2nd day of soft opening. I waited 5 mins to get in. Then after I took pics, I waited another 10 mins indoors to order. They only had 5 flavours of their croissants. By the time I was able to order, they didn't have the flavours I wanted so I only ordered their ordinary croissant ($2.95). The chef was test making one of their future products (garlic bread) and so he gave me one since I was asking him about the products and future products. The two items I had were delicious. They do have some nice and unique flavours. Their croissants looked nice but i'm not sure they are worth the high prices (for the fancy ones). They were in such short supply of their baked goods and from what I hear, they continue to be in short supply during their grand opening. I tried again on 2020-11-11 and 12 during their grand opening. Their grand opening specials were only available via their app. The app was extremely frustrating to use and there were no messages to explain what was going on. For example, you couldn't find any store within Canada. I found out it means their disabled ordering. When they turned it on at 10:00, I got to the point of the last click to place the order and it said my order timed out. For their second offer starting at 10:30, I tried to order at 10:31 and the app could not find a store again. I found out because the first and second offers were sold out within 30 secs. There were people who's order went through and confirmed but when they got to the store, they were told their order was not honoured because they reached the limit of their offer. The company decided to turn off use of their app 2020-11-12 to 15 and want everyone to go in person. I did go on 2020-11-11 at 12:30 but the line up was 45 outdoors and 7 indoors. This means it would take a long time (60+ mins?) to handle those people, based on my experience on 2020-11-07. I did go on 2020-11-12 at 09:20 (they open 10:00) but there were 47 in line already so I gave up. I didn't want to wait a long time in line and pay expensive prices for their fancy flavours assuming they were not sold out of them (because they tend to be in short supply of their fancy croissants). read more

These croissants were the definition of A-Ok! Walked in, and was immediately greeted by the smell of butter and garlic. Either it was close to closing time or they were on the verge of selling out because the only croissants left were butter and garlic, custard and caramel almond. Bought the last few custard and caramel croissants (which were packaged very cutely I might add) and headed off. First, I tried the custard one and was pretty whelmed. A generous amount of cream was inside, but it really didn't add much to the croissant base. The Caramel Almond had the same generic pastry cream issue. But, the candied almond top was lovely and the highlight of the menu. The croissant base itself, was ok. Maybe it was because of the toppings but the base was very soft, didn't have much of a crisp to it. But serviceable! Overall, I would give this place another shot. Maybe visiting earlier in the day to get to try their other offerings. But there might be some other croissanteries in the area that give you a better bang for your buck (or toonie) read more

I came here on Saturday afternoon and waited in line for around 15 minutes. The croissant varieties were limited. I got two regulars, two chocolates, a white chocolate, and one strawberries. I ate three croissants on the same day and they taste great. But the next day, the remaining croissants didn't taste as good and they were stale. I will give Hazukido three stars because there is nothing special about the croissants. I could get the same croissants at the Danish Pasty House in the Eaton Centre and I wouldn't have to wait in line. They taste great, but not worth the wait. read more

Updated review: Went by Hazukido last weekend around 11am. The service was extremely slow and the selection was really weak. We were looking for sweet, dessert croissants but they didn't have any of the ones we wanted available. We settled for two options that weren't even on their menu...and its understandable why. One was chocolate - essentially a plain croissant with a chocolate coating on a third of it and the other was strawberry chocolate - again, a plain croissant with a strawberry chocolate coating on a third of it. The croissants do not live up the hype. They are small and for $5 each, are not worth with price. I'd much rather get a croissant from Blackbird Bakery or Marvellous by Fred. They are bigger, taste better and more reasonably priced. Two stars. read more

This is a Croissant heaven! They have two locations one in first Canadian place and one in Attrium by eatons centre. The one I went was close to Eatons centre. the place from the outside looks pretty regular but their croissants were buttery, and delicious, they come in really nice packaging and it's a great gift idea. I got the strawberry, almond crusted and smoked chicken. They are freshly baked on site and totally hits the spot . Will be going back there again. This is a must try read more

Personally I find a lot of the negative comments were due to the grand opening issues, but cmon.. of course there will be kinks and problems that will happen (especially since there were over 3000 ppl trying to claim the 30 free signature boxes). None of these actual justify how good and fresh the croissants are. As a popular brand in Asia, Hazukido has opened its first doors in North America. I was definitely excited to try these because I've had such wonderful comments on them and I always love a good croissant You would be taken back by the fresh buttery aroma upon entering as each croissant is made fresh daily in sight; you can literally see the process. I was surprised how meticulous they are with the process from measuring to weighing each croissant. I can understand why they seem a little pricey for some, but if you see the labour process, you can see why. I preordered 2 boxes on their site so I was able to skip the line up (you should do that to guarantee a box!) The croissants had a wonderful buttery taste, and were also perfectly crispy on the outside/ soft on the inside. If you look into the croissant, there's the perfect honeycomb pattern which I thought was neat. My favorite was definitely the Chocolate Hazelnut, but honestly, all of them were good! Although it's not something I would purchase everyday, it's definitely a spot i would visit whenever I'm in downtown Toronto or for gift ideas! So for those comments talking about the issues during the grand opening, cmon people, 30 free boxes isn't a lot and of course you'd expect them to be instantly gone. If you really want to try it badly then just support and actually buy them LOL. read more

We came to this premium croissant café on my birthday in March 2021. They are quite popular, since a lot of the items were sold out by the time we arrived between 3-4pm. We got to try the caramel pudding, deluxe chocolate, lemon crème glazed, custard croissant, and raspberry panna cotta. Overall, the presentation and experience was great especially for a birthday treat! I was just a bit picky about their custard, as I thought it could be better. For their drinks, I highly recommend the Yashima brown sugar bubble milk tea, which is really unique and tasty because of the brown sugar bubbles. In terms of service, they were great and professional! read more

The biggest challenge is actually getting your hands on these damn croissants! They're always sold out! I've been there 4 times already to try to get the truffle crab one with no luck. One time I managed to get a salted egg croissant and it was pretty good but a little small for the price. I think if you take into consideration how irritating it is to score one, you're better off going to Le Beau or Bake Code. I'm still trying to go there when I'm in the area, hoping to score an overpriced truffle crab crossiant :( read more

I always see people walking around with the Hazukido bags so I knew ai had to try! I got there around an hour before closing so there wasn't much selection left - would definitely recommend going there earlier in the day! The staff were super nice and let us know of the quantity discounts as well as their favourite items! The croissants are super flakey and light so they make an amazing snack. There isn't alot of dining area indoors since it is connected to a mall of some sort (?) but this place is really close to the Eaton centre so plenty of areas to explore while enjoying the treats! read more

4 out of 5 stars A new Japanese croissant bakery is now located Bay and Dundas. Croissants are not cheap, but were very delicious and addictive. It's very buttery, flaky and crispy to each bite. A necessary quality for the perfect croissant. I ordered the honey comb ($2.95), chocolate ($3.45) and salted egg yolk ($4.95). The first two are mini size and the latter is regular. Even with the regular size, I found it still very small. I would suggest if they make them a little bigger, not only it would appeal more customers and more foot traffic in the store. read more

I went here in person to order for to-go; I love the store's ambiance and atmosphere. The croissant flavor is very unique and I enjoy both the sweet and savory one. Note that they are making the croissant fresh and it takes time, so you might get unlucky if what you want is out of stock. It might take you 15 minutes or more if you want to wait for the new batch to be made. It happens to me when I wanted to try their crab stick croissant (but this is not the reason why I give 4/5 stars). The only thing that would turn people off is the price. It's on the premium side, especially for the exotic and special flavor. I was fortunate to get this when they are running the Buy 5 get 1 promo. Overall, price and taste-wise, it's okay I guess. read more

Visited during their first day of grand opening (November 11). They are running a mobile app promotion where the first 30 customers would receive a free box of 6 croissants and the next 60 customers would receive a BOGO croissant deal. Like others, I tried to snatch a free box! However, after reading their reviews, I'm glad I wasn't the only one dealing with the same issue. The app was incredibly slow and would not load or process the promotion. And for the people who did get through and managed to "get" a free box, ended up not getting it... Though I totally understand that these things happen on apps and sites when a bunch of people are trying to access it. It sucks they couldn't honour it for people though. I accepted defeat and decided to grab a treat nevertheless. Also! If you signed up to receive notifications, Hazukido texted people updates throughout the chaos and offered a free drink for the inconvenience if you arrived within the next hour. But the line was at least an hour, so you wouldn't have received that drink regardless. I went around 2:30pm and waited in line for an hour, including the line inside, and came out a little disappointed. By the time I was able to order, there were 4/14 flavours left (which is understandable), but I think the biggest issue with time was that they allowed customers to wait for certain croissant flavours to come out of the oven to add to their order. Due to covid, only a limited amount of people are allowed in the store so letting people wait slowed down the process. Their croissants are quite expensive, especially for the size you get. My parents went to Hazukido during their soft opening and stated their croissants were much bigger then. Overall, the croissants were decent. I wouldn't waste my time to wait in line for the first couple of weeks if you really want to try their items. There are local bakeries that serve much better quality croissants, and for cheaper. read more

Went in the afternoon during long weekend. Most of the croissants were gone already. The store is filled with the aroma of toasty croissants. I loved it. Staff were friendly. Service was great. I got the raspberries panna cotta flavour and the caramel almond custard. The raspberry one tasted good. Great raspberry flavor. A lot of filling. The custard one was more like whip cream, I didnt find any custard in it. The caramel almond was delicious. Overall of that was little too sweet for me. I guess it is caramel. I also got a hot drink. Tasted good as well. I do think the croissants are on the pricy side. Probably good for gift boxes. I felt these are luxurious items for me if i only got them for personal enjoyment. read more

I went to their grand opening on the second day. The first 30 people in line would receive free croissants. I waited an an hour and a half to received a box of six assorted croissants.

Hazukido recently opened their first Japanese croissant store in Toronto. There is a long line up outside the store during my Saturday visit. Picked up a box of 6 (buy 5 get 1 free) at a cost of around $30.  There are a number of flavors are gone while the time we were waiting on the line. It is quite a disappointment especially the hazelnut chocolate croissant is out of stock. The crab meat croissant and egg yolk croissant can be easily the best ones that I have tried so far.  However, with such a price point, it is not really worth the price and the wait from the line (I wait 45 mins). I would suggest pre order online to skip the wait, but the cons is you cannot pick your own ones. read more

been wanting to try this place since it opened but covid didnt help! finally got to maling my way downtown and picked up a 6 pack. we had the salted egg yolk, raspberry panna cotta, truffle crab and the garlic butter. overall for the taste & value? id have to say its a one-time thing for me. just too expensive and rhe croissantsare tiny. fits in my hand like a child-sized snack. imo i think bake code croissants are way better and bigger. they have nice packaging and covid safety partitions at check out. staff is quite friendly ans the place is fairly clean. they also offer a nice variety of coffees/teas too. read more

We bought 3 croissants and got one classic free for Croissant Day. We arrived around 10:45am on a Saturday morning and most of their croissants were already sold out. One croissant had a white custard filling and it tasted really good and creamy. I thought it had too much filling where the filling spilled out when I bit into it. Another croissant had a salted egg yolk filling and it was alright. If you like salted egg yolk, you would really like this one. The filling was just the right amount and was not runny. The third croissant was a white chocolate coat and it tasted good. There was no filling inside and it was only coated in one half of the croissant. It was not good to share it because we weren't able to cut it evenly to share the white chocolate. Our free croissant for Croissant day was a honey glazed croissant. It was really good and flaky. I could taste the honey on every layer of the croissant. There was no filling inside but it still tasted really good. read more

I lined up try out their croissants during the promo days! I expected a line since it's a new place in Toronto right next to Yonge and Dundas, so the wait didn't bother me. My friend and I picked up a box of 6 to share. The pictures only show 5 because we both ordered the hazelnut macaroon so I didn't bother inserting another photo of that one. They were soooo flaky and delicious! I love the unique flavours! They're really good when slightly warm. They are a little expensive but it's worth a try as a treat. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating, especially during the pandemic. They made sure everyone was evenly spaced out, as well as limited the number of people inside. This probably contributed to the long line but that's not their fault, I feel like they handled it the best way especially with the app difficulties! read more

Croissants were flaky and crispy. Both were very flavourful. I prefer the hazelnut chocolate croissant more.

I came here during Friday after noon and the place was already full. Everything behind the cabinet looked extremly appetizing so it was hard choosing. To make the "problem" worse, they have buy 5 get 1 free! Taste-wise, if you like your croissants to be really crispy, look no further. I personally would prefer the inner layers to have a more chewy texture and flavour, but that's just preference. My personal favourite is the salt bun, simple and good. The salted egg croissant was somehow quite sweet and lacked the salted egg umaminess. Service was warm, polite and efficient. Price wise, it's a bit high for the portion size. read more

I came by a little after 12pm on a weekday, and I was surprised of how many croissants were already sold out! The demand for these bad boys is definitely high. Lucky me all the croissants I wanted were still in stock, especially the Truffle Crab croissant. I ended up getting the box of 6 filled with Truffle Crab, Almond Caramel and Deluxe Chocolate croissants. There was even a great promo deal going where if you buy 5 croissants you get the 6th free! Once I got them home and gave them all a try, I can say this is as premium as it gets. The flavors were delicious, and the Truffle Crab croissant was the luxury pastry of my dreams. read more

I love this place and been here several times when I lived close to downtown. Just the smell outside the store is so divine and drive you in to get those light, buttery croissants. I didn't even realize croissants can be a Japanese thing until we ate here.. this place is pricey but not as pricey as some of the french patisseries I've reviewed before. But these are very good croissants that are worth the price. Go in and enjoy a croissant or two or maybe even 6 because they run specials when you buy in bulk:) read more
