Butter croissants are very flakey and strong in butter Quiches- ham/cheese and bacon/onion are our go to. Baguettes- buy as is or buy them as sandwiches! Tuna is our ultimate fav Cakes- lot of variety but def on sweet side. If you like pistachio make sure to try Pompadour, only available in winter. Opera is classic as well. During holidays they offer different yule logs as well as croquembouche. Overall worth trying but make sure you go early for better selection or reserve ahead of time.

The cake was spongy, and the cream cheese frosting was spread evenly. However, I would have preferred if the frosting was less sweet although this wasn't a deal breaker for me and I would buy this cake again. The coffee is self-served in a corner of the store by the front door, but you pay at the register. There are also two chairs by the front window but the overall space in the bakery is quite small so I wouldn't imagine a lot of customers staying to enjoy their drinks and baked goods there. We also got a latte and they offered to add cinnamon on top which was a nice touch. We also got the ham and cheese croissant which was good, but I wouldn't say that it's the best croissant ever. I would want to try other bakery items and will definitely be returning soon!

Definitely worth a visit!

It's a super sweet little bakery with very kind and knowledgeable staff, and baked treats that make you feel like you're having high tea at a teddy bear picnic. I tried the mini lemon meringue pie, which was delightful. It had a beautifully whipped meringue topping above a deliciously tart lemon filling. I also got an apple pie to share with my family, which was a smash hit. 10/10, worth going a little out of your way for!

Cute shop, well decorated!…read more Limited items available. They had honey cookies, tiramisu, pyramid cake, macarons, eclairs and tres Leche. They also had Gelato (which I'd like to come back to try) but they were limited on flavours available. Stopped by for 5 mins since I was passing by and tried their tres leche which was delicious. However I'd like to see more variety of products offered to get a better chance at trying different things. Small seating area as well if you want to eat inside but I find it better as a takeout place though setting is cute. Staff was friendly and welcoming. It was also easy to find parking.

Very solid 4* rating!…read more Not sure why it took me a decade to check this place out, after a recommendation from an older European lady had recommended this place to me. It's definitely a "hidden" gem, tucked around the corner from Kipling Stn, in a really industrial area. Think a bunch of auto body and other older looking, unkempt buildings with cars parked out in front. There's parking in front of the bakery café and you hafta climb up a flight of stairs to go in. Not really accessible for older or customers with disabilities. When I arrived, the chairs were already on top of the tables. And after checking the hours of operation, they're only opened 'til 5pm, including Saturdays. They sell whole and cakes, pastries, but the slice/piece. Prices aren't posted, but it was just under $10 for 2 pieces that I got. When I arrived, near closing, they had B1G1 free on their tiramisu, so I saw that as a sign. They were delicious and still tasted free, not too sweet! (I took a pic of their price list and it seems very reasonable!) Judging on what they offer and what I've read, they have Austrian/German roots. Lady who helped me could've been friendlier/enthusiastic, but again, it was the end of the day. So I'm not going to hold that against her. I'd definitely check it out again...but it would hafta be during the day/Saturday!

What a lovely little cafe, unexpectedly in the middle of an industrial part of Toronto!…read more I dropped in for an espresso and a treat while I was getting my car serviced. It was 3:30 pm, so the cafe was empty. The selection is beautiful and they make everything fresh. I chatted with one of the owners (maybe?) and she talked about some of their specialties and special orders. She served me at a table even though I was only getting a small snack. I'll definitely come by again, and next year I'm ordering one of those German fruit cakes. :)

I must be getting old! It is true. I remember when cakes were $9. For example, a whole Uncle Tetsu…read morecheesecake was $10 before the pandemic. At Nadege, each small pastry is $9 now. I had not been in there for several years. They are in the PATH under Richmond And Bay and the times I had walked by recently after work were after their business hours. Never mind that everybody - not just them - in the PATH closes weekends. Never mind that. Not only this is Toronto and everything and everyone closes down in the afternoon making the city a ghost town past kiddie bedtime, but also Nadege is practically out of most items by mid-afternoon. Know before you go. Anyway, I finally made it there again. They have macarons galore and a selection of mini sandwiches. I do not like macarons, but do not say 'no' to cakes and pastry so bought myself a 'dark chocolate' pastry and a 'raspberry pastry' (I just realized that rhymes) and they are both best described as mini pastries. Neither is quite big or even regular sized. What they lack in price control or quantity they somewhat make up for in the quality department. That is their forte, after all, and indeed both pastries were delicious. I had one on Friday afternoon and the other Friday night... OK... yes, I am lying.. who am I kidding? I ate both on Friday at home. They were delicious, but not quite five-star delicious. I did appreciate the distinct tastes, the quality texture and that they were not too sweet. Having said that, it was not divine and I could have used with a slightly larger size, which would have allowed me to save one for the next day... maybe. I will go back for a sandwich, but in the meantime, the store is spic and span clean, which is always acknowledged and appreciated.
