Located in the Byward Market this charming little dessert shop specializes in croffles (croissant +…read morewaffle hybrid). This was my first time having a croffle, but as a croissant lover, I definitely enjoyed this more than a regular waffle since it had that flaky texture of a croissant. The croffles were a treat to have, and made fresh after you place your order so it's still warm when it gets served. There are a number of flavors/toppings to choose from, and a few simple drink options (water, tea, coffee, pop) . We ordered the Strawberry and Buenos flavours. The person behind the counter was friendly, and the interior was quite cute with its black tables and chairs, and pink walls.

The Hubby brought me home a Nutella croffle and it was DELICIOUS. I've never had anything like this…read morebefore. The bottom was crispy and caramelized with tons of Nutella drizzled on top. When he showed me what he got me, I put my nose up to it and said "just a waffle" This is not just a waffle , it's croissant pastry baked in a waffle iron, which takes it to a whole other level in the dessert game. By the time I devoured it, it was cold, but I think I prefer it this way. Def going to make a stop in when I'm in the area.

The menu is extensive, you have milkshakes served in glass bottles which you may take home. Flavours range from basics like vanilla, strawberry & chocolate to mango and various coffee blends. If you are in the mood for something more decadent and sweeter you can choose from a selection of flavours with toppings like cake, cotan candy, and various chocolates. I tried the mocha which was great and take care male, was very sweet. Tax & tip included I paid around $27. Prices range from $8-$15 + $2 for each topping. If you have a sweet tooth, this place is a must visit.

Really enjoyed getting a churro from here! We got to sit outside and enjoy the ambiance of the…read moreByward market. The staff were friendly. There's an order for 2 filled churros, of which my friend and I took one of each. We went for the dulce de leche sauce (caramelized milk). It only took a few minutes to get our order, and the churros were still very warm. Really good combination of fried dough and sauce that hit the mark. I'll recommend La Catrina to anyone craving pastries.

I love churros and have been wanting to try out this place since they opened and finally got to…read moreyesterday. I got 2 traditional churros for $5 to share with my mom. They were super crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, not too sweet, with a hint of cinnamon. I'm a fan! The place is over 2 levels and the upstairs was empty when we went, so it was great to sit, relax and chat. The man serving us was really nice. They also serve coffee, other sweets, and sandwiches. Lots of "Day of the Dead" artwork covering the walls. The artwork is also for sale. Washrooms are upstairs and very clean. I'd love to come back and try their other foods.

Great place to "hangout" with your friends!…read more There is plenty of space and tables for a casual hangout. They have a large wall full of board games. With the pandemic, there's a contact tracing form that you fill out with your info. There are also hand sanitizer with the board games to ensure your hands are clean before grabbing a game. I haven't personally stayed to play games in years but I come for the tea. The bubble tea menu has a lot to offer. It's personally not my top favourite place for bubble tea but it's still pretty good.

I can't review the food, because we didn't stay. There were several folks at tables playing games…read more So, true to its name, this is a Hangout spot for some. I wanted to try this place out because it's listed as a dessert place and I really enjoy dessert. Perhaps dessert isn't as profitable as one would want because they've "diversified" the menu and serve a few sandwiches and pre-packaged ramen. For me, though, the aroma of stale ramen on the air just doesn't help my appetite for dessert. Also, the restaurant was dark and didn't look as clean and bright as I want in my dessert place (or anywhere I eat). That might have just been my perception. Fortunately, they didn't have the dessert that I wanted. So, we left the ramen shop quickly.

However, given this luxury look, you should expect the prices to also give that same energy because these desserts are pricey! We ordered a total of 3 desserts and 4 teas, each dessert was around $11-$13... i think the total for everything after tax was close to $70... so though the presentation of the desserts were lovely and gorge!! The prices.... In this economy.... Is crazy. It's good to maybe try it once, twice, or for special occasions, but definitely not something to get regularly :P

I had a really positive experience over all and am excited to come back. I really want to try some of their specialty teas!!

This is definitely my treat is does run on the more expensive side. About little more than 20$ (for…read moretwo piece) I discovered this spot last year and have been again and again. They always have new cake to try out. Some seem to be all year around. Gluten free option as well as vegan. This time I tried the apple pecan and the white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake. My boyfriend told me I would be alone to eat that apple one. Surprise surprise I had to share. Very, fun date if you like a sweet treat.

1 star for treatment…read more I used to go this place, celebrated birthdays & friends' reunions when their location was on Clarence and then on York St. Those time, they had friendly & welcoming staff. But, when I got hit on the hand by the metal pole of their flying patio umbrella (not bolted down or affixed to their patio table), I was dismissed ('there's nothing wrong with your hand') & told to just google their information because they don't have a business card, there's no manager or person in charge on the premises yet there were 3 women from the café who avoided my request for contact information. They did offer ice in a bag BUT only after much insisting that I'd like to speak to someone in charge of the café. Again, I was dismissed and told that there's no responsibility to be had because it was an accident and that I should leave the premises because I was causing a scene since I ended up crying because my hand was hurting. The security camera of the Byward Market building across the street caught the whole hit incident (June 16).

So. Much. Frosting…read more My husband and I each purchased classic cinnamon rolls. They've set themselves apart from the larger brand by dolloping all of the frosting on top of the bun, which allows you to have as little (or as much) frosting with every bite. It was a good combination of a harder outer roll, and a softer inner roll. Being a Disney Adult / Disnerd, I hope to try the Dole Whip next time I visit!

I've tried Cinnaholic twice now, but even though I want to love it, I feel lukewarm…read more The ambiance is not there, between the lighting, crowded seating area, and bathroom (needed to be restocked). At the counter, I found some cool-looking seasonal offerings but none had any descriptions. When I asked for more information, I did get most of their names and a rundown of their toppings. But I wish the signage had been there in the first place. Even looking past these aspects of the experience, I just haven't been impressed with the actual cinnamon buns. They come in an awkwardly small box, and the plastic silverware on premise is far too flimsy to be used effectively. Eating a cinnamon bun should be the best part, but struggling to eat it really sours the experience for me. And then it didn't even taste very good. I think I won't try it again.
