It was right around the corner from Cippys. It was like heaven walking in their door! The sights and smells of a good Italian bakery welcome you immediately. There were at least 4 different cases of yummy sweet delights. They had a nice selection of cheeses, meats, and shelves of Italian groceries. Items you might not normally find in your local grocery stores. How about some baccala? The star of the show here is their bread. There's a separate room you enter to make your bread selections. Again, the smell!! I didn't see anyone entering that didn't leave with bread. We checked. This place is 26 miles from our house and requires making the trip across the border. We'll be back! 2023-98

My friend and I went on a morning walk and stopped by Soko for a quick coffee fix and snack. The lattes we got came out steaming hot - just the way I like it! I also tried the red bean bun, which was perfect balance of textures and sweet-savory flavor. I liked that it wasn't too sweet and let the red bean shine. My friend tried the egg tart and butter tart, which were so flaky and perfectly baked. The space has some table seating inside for people to do some work, reading, or just hang out. The woman managing the front was so sweet and personable. Overall great spot for the local neighborhood!

I've had them at other locations before but I had visitors visiting from Edmonton who were visiting Niagara Falls so we grabbed a dozen croissants to share. They had so many varieties it was hard to choose but my favorite ones that I usually go for include: -Truffle Crab -Salted Egg yolk -Raspberry Panna Cotta / Strawberry Purée Custard -Honey Citrus / Lemon Cream Glazed Service was a little slow and unorganized despite them being opened already for a few months. They said 6 croissants and no tax but one of the girls told us we can mix and match with the croffles but when we went to pay they said we couldn't. When we went to pay they were struggling so hard with the point system. I do however appreciate them trying to figure out how it worked. So eventually they said I can only collect points and not redeem which was fine. I went back a second time cause I was thirsty and ordered one of their drinks that they said was available but then the girl looked at the other girl and then looked back at me and said it's not available soooo. Because this location is located in the food court at Fallsview Casino, they also take Momentum Dollars.

They also serve breakfast, lunch, and pizza, but you have to order a whole pizza since they don't do slices.

We ordered lattes and one small pecan pie bites, definitely sweet and super moist.

Today my friend and I were out for breakfast when an individual in need approached me asking for money for food. Instead I offered to buy them a coffee and a sandwich from the cafe. Before I was even able to enter the cafe, an employee stepped out and blocked the entrance. When I asked what he was doing, he said that the individual was not allowed to enter the cafe. Even though I was puzzled by this, I said that if she is not allowed in then I would like to come in since I will be purchasing the meals. The employee looked at me and said no and stated "if you care so much about people, why don't you just drive them home" this is absolutely the most DISGUSTING behaviour I have ever witnessed from an employee, AND who even says that...like how heartless and selfish can you be. I reiterated to the man that I'm not sure what his problem is with this individual, however I am a paying customer and I would like to buy the food. Once again he refused to let me in, and said that if we didn't leave he would be calling the cops. Additionally stating, "I can't let you buy food, because I'm scared you'll give it to her". Once again the service here is absolutely disgusting, and for an employee to speak to a paying customer that way, just because I was trying to buy an individual in need a meal, is truly horrific.

It was a warm day and I really wanted to try their green smoothie (without the banana). Despite being initially apprehensive about eliminating the "binder" in the smoothie that is banana, the lovely young man helping me was able to make the perfect smoothie without it being "slushy!" Thank you! It was delicious. Hit #1. I also tried their house made Montreal-style sesame bagel with cream cheese. Crispy outside and warm, chewy inside with a generous amount of cream cheese! Hit #2. Looks like they have a lot of beautiful baked goods to try on my next outing as well! Pro tip: they make Gluten free options!

They also have coffee, tea and energy drinks. Today I only stopped in for my favorite, dirty chai téa. It is hands down the best dirty chai I've ever had. They make their own concentrate which isn't too sweet and really gives you the peppery, cinnamony flavor a chai should have. The flavors of the chai, espresso and milk (I get almond milk) are all perfectly balanced and compliment each other for delicious sip after sip. And, the cherry on top... A large with almond milk comes in just under $5! Anywhere else it'd be $7+ and wouldn't taste as good. They also have a selection of house made gelato in the warmer weather. The bakery itself is small inside, but there are several tables in the atrium to enjoy your purchase.

We were fortunate to be seated, as they take reservations only through their website at pariscrepescafe.com. After 5pm Friday and throughout the weekend (as well as every bank holiday) street parking is free, in an attempt to lure customers. It's fair to say the neighborhood is, "in transition", but the blocks around this restaurant are lovely. Every shop is a small business owner, with none of the chain stores that plague downtown. We were seated immediately. The restaurant does breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and has a nice list of wines and coffees. Our waiter was very friendly and professional. The French press coffee was spectacular, and the Chantilly cream I ordered as a side was spritzed into my coffee cup with every refill. (I always say, "yes" to schlag Sahne!) The menu has about 12 choices of gallettes (savory) and 12 choices of crepes (sweet). Both are thin buckwheat pancakes with extensive, yummy fillings. It was hard to choose just one! I opted for the galette Thalassa, which is filled with a mesclun salad, cherry tomato halves, mandolined radish and cucumber and red onion strings, covered with lox, capers, a dab of sour cream and a teaspoon of black caviar. It was a feast! My husband had the galette Savoyard, with a scrambled egg and prosciutto. I can tell he liked it by his silence after it was put in front of him! We're thinking of cancelling other plans tomorrow to come here again!
