    Pistachio  and almonds cake

    I bought a pistachio-almond cake from La Rocca Creative Cakes for about $40, expecting something special. It looked beautiful, but the taste was a big disappointment. The center was basically plain sponge cake with no real pistachio or almond flavor. The first bite was overwhelming sugar -- just sweetness, with no depth or balance. The outside is covered with pistachios and nuts, but that alone doesn't make it a pistachio-almond cake. Honestly, there was nothing unique about it. It wasn't better than a basic grocery store cake that might cost $12. For a place that positions itself as a premium cake shop, this was very underwhelming. I wouldn't recommend it.

    Deep Dish Apple Crumble

    Absolutely delicious! Picked up the deep dish apple crumble for thanksgiving and it was a total hit. We heated it up in the oven and topped it with vanilla ice cream. It was the perfect sweet treat to end the night.

    Almond Jamocha

    Got the almond jamocha cake in store for my bday, I ordered online but there were a couple in store available when I came for pickup. Tasted delicious not too sweet but chocolatey and decadent. Lasted great in the fridge too loved it

    I was walking on Yonge when this store caught my eye. Turns out I already had this bookmarked so I decided to try it. The interior is quite nice and is filled with a wide array of beautiful desserts and bonbons. La Rocca is especially good with their dessert designs. I was craving something on the lighter end so I decided to get the Yuzu Coconut Dome. It's made with a citrusy and tangy yuzu mousse, yuzu jelly and coconut almond dacquoise on a lemon almond shortbread. The shortbread was nice, easy to break, tasted nice. I know that the yuzu is probably be the highlight of the dessert, in my opinion and it could just be my taste, but I feel like the yuzu was a little overpowering. It's good, but I could barely taste the coconut almond dacquoise. The coconut was so faint, I had to really concentrate to taste it or else my tastebuds would just overwhelmed with yuzu. Even after finishing the dessert, the yuzu taste still lingered for about 5-7 min. I really liked the layers and the white chocolate ring(?) is impressive tempering. Regardless I'm still excited to come back and try their other desserts and especially their bonbons because they looked so nice and had some unique flavours

    I've been meaning to try out this place for the longest time, but since this is their only location…read moreand I live quite far away I was super excited when I was nearby one day. I got 6 macarons, hk milk tea, black sesame, Oreo, creme brûlée, matcha and pistachio. Came to $21, but 6 no taxes. Every bite was delicious as the next. I really enjoyed the black sesame. I also wanted the ice cream sandwich but decided against the mess my kids would make in the car so I will get it for sure next time! I love the variety of their flavours. Definitely made it hard to choose!

You can't go wrong with any of their premium flavours. Each one of them is tuned to perfection, with an emphasis on Asian flavours. I always feel like a kid in a candy store here. Perhaps it's because of the colourful display from the moment you step inside, or the seemingly endless list of flavours on the wall staring back at you, or maybe it's because the moment you swing open the door, a friendly storeowner readily appears at your service? Hm... what will I have today? Pro tip: as the store owner would tell you, wait a few min for the ice cream sandwich to thaw before biting in. About 5 min is good and enough time to take Yelp pics. The only unfortunate thing for me is that they're downtown and I'm uptown! Regardless, I always make an effort to drop by whenever I can. Their opening hours are not too friendly though... But I guess you can say that adds to their appeal. This little shop could really use more publicity. I believe we have to get more people eating macaron ice cream sandwiches this summer. I highly recommend!!!

They have introduced a high-end gourmet macaron with their iconic logo on it. It is called Eugenie, named after Empress Eugenie, patron of the arts. There are only 8 iconic flavours: Chocolate, Vanilla, Pistachio, Caramel, Rose, Orange Blossom, Blackcurrant Violette, and Marie Antoinette tea. Eugénie is an unexpected marriage of textures, with a crunchy biscuit, a melting heart and a crunchy chocolate coating. This Union Station location is only a kiosk, rather than a full patisserie. It opened in Oct 2024. They thought they were only going to be there until Feb 2025, but as of 2025-06-23, they are still there. It is opposite Union Samples. They mostly sell macarons ($4.50 each!) here, but there are also a few bottled drinks, chocolate bars, gift boxes, yule logs, and gift cards. The customer service was good. Louis-Ernest Ladurée was the founder of Ladurée in 1862. There is free WiFi from Union Station. The kiosk is wheelchair accessible. There are washrooms in Union Station.

This patisserie in the path is such a quiet place that barely has customers every time I've walked by ...now I know why. There was only one person when I stopped by, popped in to grab a quick little treat for a coworker's birthday. The one girl working didn't acknowledge me at all until she had no other choice, not a simple "I'll be with you in a second" or even a glance/nod over. Vibes were very off. Also she was the slowest mover I've ever seen, it felt like all her movements were in slow-mo from wrapping, packaging the processing payment. I've literally never seen a human worker move at that pace. Even after the other customer wrapped up and left it took her at least another minute before looking up at me. When I picked my item, again... she was moving at a pace where natural selection would've definitely taken her out. Not sure what was going on but it was weird. The air was stiff as there wasn't any customer service, kindness or even welcoming in the store. And the audacity of the machine to ask for a tip???? For what? Packing up a pastry at a snails pace? Tipping culture has really gotten out of hand. Grabbed my item and left, with no intent of ever returning if I'm paying premium prices for pastries, there are much better, friendlier and QUICKER places to go to. +1 star for the pretty pastry.

I hadn't realized until I was writing this review that I had been here! I don't know if last time they didn't do ice cream or it just wasn't on my radar since we came more in the winter but it was nice to try sometime different this time around. I also think it didn't ping my memory as a lot of the baked goods were sold out by the end of the day when we arrived. Either way, we were here for the ice cream! I went with the mango and vanilla twist in a cup which was nice. The mango was a bit tart which paired with the vanilla nicely. The menu said it was topped with fresh mango and I only got one piece right on top so I found that a bit disappointing as the mango was delicious with the ice cream. I would have gladly paid extra for a bit more. The ice cream in general wasn't overly rich, and seemed to have a bit more of a water content than I was expecting (vs. more creamy) but it still tasted quite good. It just melted VERY quickly in the heat. Staff was REALLY sweet though. And though it was a Saturday night shortly before close (and they were quite busy) they were very efficient and kind.

The company has been in business since 1860 making matcha, hojicha/houjicha and other green teas, and you happen to have this tea and dessert spot here and in multiple cities. (I usually don't get Tsujiri's teas as I have my usuals in Yamamoto and Itou En, but because I see the bad Ohtani/Ootani way too often on the latter's displays as in the one on the Bums obviously, Shouhei [with the good one being Ikue-san who for us non-Japanese residents mostly know her as the voice actress of "Pokemon's" Pikachu], I may have to start getting Tsujiri's more often and Itou En's less often for matcha and houjicha. [I intentionally add the "-san" honorific to the good Ohtani and drop it to the bad Ohtani.] Yes Toronto and Canada, I too wanted the bad Ohtani to go to the Jays, not the Bums, and if you have always wondered why the Dodgers are called that, when the Trolley Dodgers [people dodged incoming trolleys to get to work] and the Giants were still in New York City's Brooklyn and Manhattan respectively until 1958, "New York World-Telegram" cartoonist Willard Mullin back in the day called them that as they didn't win their first and only east coast title until 1955, though the fortunes are the total opposite since they moved out west to Los Angeles and San Francisco.) Just like what I did with my Jirou review, I'll point out what items I see here that are not in my local cafes and vice versa. This will be a good reference section for me should I have the power to return to the city, and it will also give both you Canadians that haven't visited any of their multiple locations yet and international visitors an idea of what to expect. While I sit at multiple spots in my temporary home inserting the usual "Yes guys, the ladies are cute!" statement, I better mention this important note. Do keep in mind that the place, with a simple tea house look, is narrow. There aren't many places to sit at. There are just 2, 3 tables? Right around there. Let me get the item comparison part out of the way. Items I recall seeing here that are not in my local Japanese/Japanese ties cafes/dessert spots (the latter type involves a place I reviewed in Satura, a mainly European cafe at one of my suburbs with Japanese ties, including a partnership with a cafe/bakery in Tokyo)? There are items such as yuzu kakigoori (Japanese shaved ice), shiratama dango, dango parfait, and soft serve ice creams of matcha and houjicha. Items I recall seeing in my usual spots that are not in Tsujiri? Besides the cute decorations (multiple Sanrio characters coming to my mind instantly), the local Japanese bakeries/cafes have items such as kouign amann, "Anpanman" pan, Japanese strawberry short cake, ube matcha latte, and Japanese sodas. The fun part section? Seeing that my K-foodie sis, her friend and I are in a tea shop, a (too) legit (to quit) Japanese tea shop, of course I had to get tea in some form, as I picked the cold houjicha latte. We also had the matcha houjicha soft serve, a daifuku and an order of dango. As expected, the foods and drink are so good. Even my sister's friend said that the place is a perfect 5/5, and my sis likes the place despite not being as fond of Asian cafes or Asian desserts/pastries that aren't Filipino as I am. (She does like European ones like kouign amann though.) The flaws section? Normally, I penalize a cafe a star if it doesn't carry a caffeine free drink as I seriously think about the kids and how I often don't need the insane amount of caffeine, but because Tsujiri is a Japanese green tea company, I can't deduct a point for not having a mugicha. Besides, outside of mugicha, houjicha is a good alternative for kids that are old enough anyway. So, with that said/typed, the only flaw I can think of is the limited parking, but of course, this is Downtown Toronto now. Tsujiri is that good of a tea spot. Though there isn't an ideal parking situation, the place is that good of a spot because of the good tea and food. It may never be my top Japanese cafe (I've known Clover for around 20 years or so), but it is that good never the less. If you're looking for a good cafe/dessert spot in Toronto or in multiple cities in Canada, go to a Tsujiri spot! +/Tsujiri is terrific at being hospitable and flashing dashing foods and drinks, and having multiple locations in the country shows how good the spots have been. -/There's limited parking, but of course, this is Downtown Toronto/whatever Canadian city you're from after all.
