Popped in, while they were out of nearly everything (can't base a rating on that, unless its a constancy) we did choose to grab some soft serve and a slice of cake to share. The soft serve, to me did not delight as the suggestion of the sorbet and vanilla soft serve swirl did not quite taste right (to me). The Cake slice was Raspberry and Pistachio, and not sure if this piece was old but it was very very dry and crumbly when I was expecting something more moist and spongy.

The pastries and mochi breads are absolutely exquisite! I tried the black sesame mochi bread--light, pillowy, and filled with a delightful little white mochi surprise. The crème brûlée almond tart was incredible too, with its thick, eggy custard and a blueberry-almond center. And the Hitotoki matcha tart? Gorgeous and just perfect. It was my first visit, and I discovered the bakery through their 2nd-anniversary IG post. I bought about $20 worth of treats and got to spin their prize wheel--and I actually won the Grand Prize: a limited-edition gold Nespresso & milk frother kit! I literally jumped for joy. Yet another reason to love this incredible bakery!

It was okay. Tried three items:…read more Matcha Lava Tart - The staff said this had the strongest matcha flavour among their matcha items. But there was no "lava" at all... just a layer of cream sitting on a thick tart base. You do get some matcha flavour, but definitely not that rich and flowing matcha sauce I saw in those online reels. Matcha Mont Blanc - Too sweet. The green noodle-shaped topping is actually made from a kind of bean paste - not much matcha taste, but had a strong bean flavour instead. And again, it was too sweet to my liking. Taro Tart - This one was good. Taro-flavoured cream on top, with taro paste underneath, then a layer of custard with mochi at the bottom. Had a rich taro flavour. Still a bit sweet, but not as overwhelming as the Mont Blanc. Overall it was not bad, although TBH I haven't really found great matcha desserts in Toronto so far.

The cake features delicious ube flavour, a soft and airy whipped cream layer, a fluffy cake layer, and a unique sticky rice base infused with ube. The sticky rice is the best part! I also tried their matcha pandan cake, but it wasn't my favourite. The bitter matcha powder on top was overwhelming and took away from the overall experience, so I'll be sticking to my favourite ube cake from now on. One thing I've noticed is that the box cakes have gotten smaller, but thankfully, the price was adjusted to match the size reduction.

The iced coffee had a strange unwashed cup smell to it, perhaps from dishwashers that needed a clean-out. Flavorwise, it was watered down and bland. The speciality is the marvellous meringue, which for us was less than marvellous. A good taste, but super light, like eating air. Save the inflated price and make something similar at home with egg whites and sugar (thats it!) Staff were rushed and brusque. The spot is cute, though!

You can immediately tell that the butter used in their croissants is of the highest quality, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. I paired it with a large glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, which had just the right amount of pulp, and a plain croissant on the side that was equally delicious. The true highlight, though, was the pain au chocolat loaded with premium chocolate that melts in your mouth. Arash, the owner, is incredibly warm and welcoming. He makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. I'm definitely going back soon, and I highly recommend giving this place a try if you have not already.

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.
