Went specifically for croissants so can't speak about their other pastries, but both Butter and Almond croissants were delicious! Butter croissant was flaky outside and soft inside. Best of all, buttery! Almond croissant was equally as good. The filling was the right texture and flavour.
La Bastille is a wonderful little bakery with authentic French flair right in Scarborough. If you're craving flaky croissants, sweet danishes, and beautifully made pastries with real attention to flavour, it's definitely worth a stop.
A great place for French pastries, cakes, breads in Scarborough. There's always a line up outside for a reason. I tried the cheddar scone, pistachio croissant, pain au chocolate and beignet. All very good but if I had to pick one, it would be pain au chocolate. Nice flaky crust and many layers of airy butter goodness and a semi-sweet chocolate ganache type filling. It's a take away store, there's a bench outside - in an industrial/service commercial building .. not much of a view.
Le Bastille Bakery This is a small bakery in an industrial park. We were there on a Friday morning. There is a constant line from outside to inside the bakery, and the line moved fairly quickly. I would recommend to start looking at the pastries from the cash end and make your way to the start of the line so that you can view all the treats. Individual pastries start from $6.50 and up. We purchased: Lemon Meringue Mille Feuille* Kouign-Amann Black Forest Apricot Danish The Mille Feuille (MF) and Kouign-Amann, were our favourites. The MF was super flakey and in the custard middle it had a light cheesecake like texture and topped with a torched citrus flavour. It was still so delightful the second day after purchase. The Apricot danish pastry had several layers in the pastry unlike other danish's I've had, we enjoyed it. The Black Forest too had several textures and juicy black cherries, another delightful dessert. It held its freshness two days after purchase. Very yummy too. Many customers were buying several treats. The party in front us of only ordered two Kouign-amann, so I knew I had to try that too! When we return I'd like try the scones which were almost sold out. Savoury pies, sandwiches and hot beverages are available too. Plenty of parking available right outside the bakery.
Well worth the hype! Beautiful bakery with beautiful eiffel tower in front! Great customer service. Delicious pastries! Everything was so mouthwatering. I got the almond croissants, raisins pin wheel, pain au chocolats, regular croissants, fruit custard tart with cookie base, Paris brest with praline cream :). Everything so delectable and tasted so authentic like I was back in France. I will definitely be returning! Love love!
Still one of my fave bakeries. Their Apple Tatin is one of my faves. Hubby loves the chocolate mousse tart. Their sourdough bread is also fantastic!! They often have special offerings on the weekends (Sat/Sun). This past weekend it was Opera cake. There are savory offerings (like quiche) as well as croissants, bread and other sweet offerings.
I love this place so so much. If it wasn't so out of the way for me I'd be there all the time. The vibe is so cozy and welcoming and you can tell everything is made with care. I especially love the almond croissant. Flaky, buttery, just the right amount of sweetness, it's perfect. It's a Scarborough gem. Yes, it's a bit on the pricier side but the quality is absolutely worth it. One of those places where you really taste the difference.
This uniquely French pastry shop is tucked away in an industrial park area. It is definitely worth the visit.Chef Marsial does an amazing job of creating the standards that we expect from a top grade pastry store. I was surprised to see that it was open Sunday morning, as we had guests over and I wanted to pick up fresh croissants. But the pastries themselves are quite collectible and should not be overlooked at all. There's a vast assortment of quiche, tart, pastries, and of course, croissants of various types. You will not be disappointed, and it is definitely worth the trip. They are located in the heart of Scarborough and easy to come by. Plenty of parking too. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Of course you will find fresh baguette and other breads as well.
La Bastille Boulangerie et Pâtisserie est un coin de paradis à Toronto. Il est situé sur une place industrielle sur Birchmount Road. Il y a un arrêt de bus à proximité et un parking à proximité également. Une bouchée de leur délicieux croissant et je suis transporté dans un pays de bonté feuilletée mais moelleuse ! Le service est aimable et sympathique. Je recommande de visiter La Bastille tous les jours ! La Bastille m'a aidée à réaliser mes rêves de croissant.
I've been searching for a bakery for patisseries and viennoiseries in the Scarborough area and stumbled upon La Bastille. It's a distance from where I reside in but I'm always down to make a trip for good baked goods. They are very easy to locate as they're located right on Birchmount and have a parking lot with lots of spots available early in the morning. They offer a great selection of sweet and savoury croissants, muffins, danishes, scones, muffins and many sweets and loafs! So far, I've tried their croissants (almond, chocolate almond, butter croissant, kouign-amann, cruffin), scones (blueberry, cranberry and cheese) and their muffins (peach and blueberry). My favourites is the almond croissant and the scones! I have yet to try their beignets, danishes, their savoury croissants and many of the sweets in their beautiful display case!
Cute Patisserie in an unexpected neighborhood. The shop is an industrial park area however once you walk in you don't feel like you are. You are greeted by a large counter filled with freshly baked pastries. There is no in house seating; food is take out only. They also sell some quiches and sourdough bread on site. I purchased the chocolate almond croissant, the broccoli quiche and the sourdough bread. The croissant was very crispy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside with lots of filling! I found the price to be worth it on this product. The quiche single serving is a little small so I paired it with some homemade cauliflower soup and the sourdough bread for a gourmet home lunch experience. It was a little taste of France in my backyard.
I enjoyed visiting La Bastille Bakery; the place looked really nice and quaint. Though there was a line, we didn't wait for long. It was early morning, and fresh baked goods were emerging one after another. The variety made it hard to choose, but we decided on beignets, chocolate and pistachio croissants, ham and cheese croissants, scones, a traditional baguette, chocolate eclairs, and tarts. We may have over-ordered, but everything looked so tempting. While we weren't fond of the pear almond tart and the chocolate eclairs, the rest were definitely worth the buy.
Another well reputed patisserie to try, excitedly arrived. Stylish storefront suddenly appears in the unimpressive industrial area. From outside, I saw full of patrons ordering their food and beverage. Our expectation went high! Bought: - Plain croissant - Plain Beignet with Sugar - Canelé - Lemon Meringue Tarte - Pear Almond Tart - Opera Croissant was good, nothing outstanding, nothing lacking. BUT! $3.25 for this quality is super reasonable, I should be feeling blessed! (I know other places charge us over $5 in spite of their mediocre quality.) Beignet is like a donut. Flurry, not too sweet, a tad dry. Canele was very disappointing. The outer had a nice bitter taste but not crunchy (it should be crunchy) rather, sticky soft... Interior had a large air pocket, which I feel is a structural defect. Lemon Meringue Tart - each part (meringue, lemon custard, tart base) was good, but integration was not. Tart base was too hard for the other super soft filling. Opera was surprisingly good. Although its looks did not have the precision that I expect for opera cake, it had very delicate layers. Almond cake base, smooth chocolate ganache, coffee butter cream, crispy top layer, and detectable rum kick. I liked it. Nice texture as well. I regretted not buying tart tartan - because many people seem to like it. Also sourdough - I think I should come back to try these :) !!!! read more

What a wonderful French bakery. The selection was impressive, with so many delicious pastries and treats to choose from that it was difficult to decide what to take home. The cinnamon pecan Danish was absolutely perfect for breakfast, with just the right balance of sweetness and flavor. I'm already looking forward to returning to try even more items. I also picked up an éclair for later this evening and can't wait to enjoy it. Based on everything I've tried so far, I'm sure it will be just as delicious. This bakery has quickly become a place I plan to visit again and again. read more

I was excited when my friend introduced me to this exciting, authentic French bakery! Once I walked inside the smell of fresh baked goodies was wonderful! It took me a long time to decide on what I wanted because everything looked so delicious. I ended up getting a Butter Croissant $3.25, Pistachio Croissant $3.95, Kouign-Amann $3.75 and Sourdough Boule bread that was already sliced $5.45. The croissants were so deliciously flaky and buttery and especially loved the heavenly Pistachio Croissant that gave me a Foodgasm! I also loved the Sourdough Boule that was so flavourful and delicious when lightly toasted. I wished I knew the specific ingredients of the bread but couldn't find anything online. The service was fast and friendly. Definitely coming back! read more

Cozy little French bakery tucked away in a not so known plaza in Scarborough. I came across this place because it's literally 5 mins away from my home and I had to go there! They have an amazing staff who are very cordial and welcoming and will help you choose the best stuff from their menu. I wanted to try the Mille-feuille but unfortunately they were out of those for the day so I tried their Pistachio croissant and Ham and Cheese croissant and both of them were SO delicious! The ham was so fresh and the croissants were flaky and made to perfection. Must visit bakery if you want fresh baked goods! read more

When I saw that there was a French bakery on Google Maps, I knew I had to give it a try. Walking along Birchmount it's not too difficult to spot, and if you're driving, as long as you've got a GPS going you should be fine too. Stopped in at 8:30 AM on a Saturday and there was ample stock of goodies to be found. As someone who love savoury croissants, I was glad they had a vegetarian, spinach and cheese option. Besides croissants, they also have fruit danishes, caramelized apple tarts, kouignamann, quiches (single serving and a whole pies to go), loaves of bread and coffee. What they don't have, is the space for dine-in, so if you invite someone to meet you there, I hope the weather's nice enough for a picnic! Also, I didn't see any celebratory cakes, so if you're looking for a birthday cake, better call in to double check first. If you're in the area, this is a fun option to visit. The spinach cheese croissant I got was decent, and my wallet appreciates that it wasn't $5-6 like the downtown croissanteries. read more
