    Pesto salad, breakfast croissant, iced latte

    Le Gourmand was a solid breakfast stop. The Presto salad was surprisingly refreshing, served cold, savory, and a nice balance to the meal. The real winner was the egg, bacon, and cheese croissant: buttery, flaky, and packed with flavor, although the price stings a little. The iced latte did its job but wasn't anything memorable. Total: $27.67.

    Store front is under construction at the moment. Chocolate chip, chocolate chip walnut, oatmeal raisin and salted caramel cookies and an oat milk latte. C$34.84 The cookies look a tad burnt on a few cookies. They smell amazing. Seating for cookie, sandwich, salad and coffee enjoyment. The smell inside is worth a visit. The oatmeal cookie was dry, so was the chocolate walnut, which I believe is one of the factories here. Perhaps it was a two off, as I was wishing I had only bought one of these. The chocolate cookie is the better of all of the cookies, just a tad over baked is all. The salted caramel is not special. Suffice to say, the chocolate cookie is worth a try, but take a pass on the rest of them, wasn't worth it for us.

    Le Gourmaud in Toronto is a great cafe, and seems like a popular spot for Torontonians. We only spent 24 hours in Toronto, and this is one of the great stops that we made. I love Canadian pastries, because they are not as sweet as the ones in the US, and I'm not really a person who is big on sweets and desserts. My family and I stumbled upon this gem after eating at a spot on Queen Street, Walking by, we saw the sign outside saying "world-famous cookies," wnd decided to go in to try some of them. We ordered oatmeal raisin, white chocolate macadamia, and chocolate chip cookies, as well as an orange muffin. At first, I was not really excited about ordering anything, but since we were only visiting Canada for a couple of hours, I gave in, and I'm so glad I did! The chocolate chip cookie was delicious, it had crispy edges with a gooey center that wasn't overly soft. My parents loved the oatmeal raisin cookies, and my uncle and aunt, who initially passed on ordering, couldn't resist running back to get their own pastries once he tasted the muffin. In fact, he and my aunt stocked up on cookies and muffins before we left for New York. Le Gourmaud is a quiet and nice cafe with incredible pastries. I did not have the chance to try their sandwiches this time, but it's definitely on my list for my next visit to Toronto. If you're in the area and looking for top-tier baked goods in a welcoming atmosphere, this place is a must!

    I hate giving low reviews but this place is so awful. We also visited twice (not by my choice), so unfortunately, I know it is not a fluke. First, you have to traverse through a bunch of construction to find it (not their fault but does not help with the overall experience). All the tables were dirty from previous patrons, and we didn't see anyone wiping them down the two times we were there. You bus your own tables and the bussing station is in a similarly sorry state. They're also not that busy so not sure why the service is so awful. The blonde cashier that we encountered twice was just chatting with the other staff rather than taking our order. When she finally paid attention to us, she was unnecessarily cold like we were bothering her. Again, this happened twice. The first time we went, we only ordered a cookie and a cappuccino. The coffee was mid and the cookie took so long the another staff member noticed and apologized, which was nice of her. The second time we went, the sandwiches behind the glass looked sad, so I got the kathu roti, which was drowning in sauce and became very unpleasant to eat midway through. My partner got the egg bacon croissant - the eggs were rubber, croissant was also mid, and the whole thing was too salty. They also called the wrong order number (we were the only ones waiting for food). The only good thing about this place is the cookies (which bumped this up to two stars) but not worth the troubles.

    I come here occasionally for coffee or for their famous walnut chocolate chip cookies. The cookies definitely are delicious and high quality, but I wouldn't say they're the best in the city. They actually taste better the next day in my opinion. Service here is always friendly and fast even on the weekends when it can get busy. There's a good amount of seating for small groups inside as well as a few tables outside. The building is undergoing renovation, but it's still open

    To sum things up, the food here was great, but my experience dining in left a lot to be desired. The way the restaurant is run is a bit disorganized, which is particularly noticeable when it is busy. We waited for around 20 minutes to get our food, and were not able to hear our order being called when it was ready. There was also limited seating available, especially since this is both a cafe and brunch spot. I tried the Kothu Roti and Creme Brulee French Toast, both of which were delicious. I also tried their much hyped chocolate chip cookie, which was amazing. Since it is worth trying, I'd highly recommend just getting their food to go.

    One of the best oven fresh chocolate chip cookies in Toronto!

    I am so happy that Le Gourmand on Spadina Ave. is still here after all these years! It used to be my second office for over 10 years where I did sketches for my illustration business and had many meetings here since it opened in 2002. I loved getting their delicious Balzac's Farmers Blend with just a little honey early in the mornings and loved all their freshly baked treats! Today I enjoyed their famous giant chocolate chip cookie still hot from the oven and so crispy and chewy at same time. But it wasn't as giant as I remembered so I hope it was an off day for the baker. Also had their chocolate bomb that unfortunately didn't come warmed up as they usually are so it wasn't great. But the European atmosphere and warm ambiance hasn't changed one bit. It always feels like I've stepped into Paris when I walked in. My visit brought back many happy memories. I do miss the founder of Le Gourmand Milton Nunes who was always so friendly to me and everyone who came in the café. He sadly passed away in March 2019 at age of 47. Rest In Peace Milton, please know that your delicious legacy is alive and well!

    Love, love this spot. Their coffee is great and your cannot beat their baked goods. Located just south of Queen on Spadina, it's just off the streetcar spot. It's a local fave. Easily noted by the stream of customers - many just taking out. Beyond the coffee and baked goods. You can also enjoy some other options like breakfast sandwiches or eggs Benedict in the morning and a variety of luncheon items (soups, salads, sandwiches and light lunch fare). I've been going here for a while, and I've never had a bad meal or snack here. Fyi their chocolate chip cookies are the best! Today we had coffee, croissants and a lemon bichon. All great. And I couldn't resist. Some pastries were brought home. Don't look any further for a great French bakery.

    A small coffee shop near chinatown, with a fair amount of seating and seems to be a place where people go to work as well. I got the white chocolate matcha which was part of their spring menu - 4.5/5 loved it! I also got the apple tart which I would rate 3/5 - tasted ok but wish it was warmed up which would've made it taste better since it was kind of hard cold but I didn't realize until I had left. They had a few other items on their spring menu that I think is limited time, would come back again if I'm passing by

    This place is awesome. I was staying nearby and after my flight home got delayed, I wanted to squeeze in some work and breakfast before hitting the road. I found this spot on Yelp and arrived around 8:30-9am. It was right off Spadina and was easy to spot... next door to a Starbucks. Why would anyone choose the big box coffee shop over the little guy? I will never understand. The space is big with a giant area filled with seats and tables for dining and cranking out some work. There is a long L shaped counter with pastries behind it as well as the register/pick up area, and a small kitchen. There was a bit of a line when I got there but it moves pretty fast. I ordered an egg and cheese croissant and their turmeric latte. The service was fast af. I went to set up my laptop and hadn't even noticed them call my name because it was so quick. My sandwich was great and I ate every single bite. My latte was not very sweet at all and the turmeric was very forward. I also drank that down to the very last drop. I wouldn't hesitate to come here again!

    Hands down the best chocolate chip cookie I ever had, what I like about this place is it's not too sweet, service was quick, the cookie was warm it melts in your mouth, and the coffee was really good, perfect combinations ,

Especially liked the artwork and table with their name on it. I had the Nutella latte, Nutella and strawberry waffle, and a side of sausage. Didn't like the sausage at all (tasted a bit gamey) but that's probably because ein the states there are nitrates, etc that make it taste better. No biggie! She switched it out for bacon, and that was fine and appreciated. My sister had the breakfast tacos that looked delicious and she really enjoyed. All in all this was a great pick and I would return when im Canada ever again and I'm in the area. Keep up the great work, Pierina. Her welcoming attitude attentiveness and knowledge of the menu was stellar and warrants recognition. Thank you!!!

The almond croissant, when you're lucky enough to claim one before nine, delivers a genuinely impressive balance of shattering, buttery layers and a filling laced generously with almond cream, more Parisian in spirit than most bakeries attempting the same feat across this city. Even the raspberry version, when available, carries the same confident hand in the kitchen. The coffee program deserves equal praise. A well pulled latte and a properly balanced cappuccino suggest a team that treats espresso with the same seriousness as their pastry case, and it shows in the cup. Where the experience finds room to grow is in the choreography of the space itself. The room is petite, charming in its cobalt blue framed way, but the flow between ordering and pickup can feel cramped during a rush, and seating fills quickly. The patio, however, is a genuine reward, a shaded perch worth claiming on a slow afternoon. This is a cafe operating with real ambition and skill, let down only occasionally by its own popularity. Arrive early, claim a croissant while you still can, and settle onto the patio; you'll leave understanding exactly why regulars keep coming back.

The line moved quick, even though it wrapped around, we waited for about 20 minutes only. The menu has some cool items, a few fusion dishes and trendy items. Awesome presentation and definitely Instagram worthy. I got the huevos rancheros, it was more like an egg burrito with beans, sauce and potatoes on top. The potatoes were probably my favourite out of everything. It was good but not the traditional you would expect. My friends sadly did not like their eggs benedict. The coffee was also average, not very strong or fragrant. Service was absolutely terrible. Our sever took so long to come, we see him just chatting in the corner. It was hard to flag him down for anything. It was not a nice experience.

Very friendly service (server was Crystal). Sat outside and still was attended to attentively - typically worried that patio seating gets less attention but that wasn't the case here.

Got the Indecisive with the eggs poached medium ( would recommend soft for future or sunny side up). The pistachio latte was yummy but with the matcha pancakes it became too sugary of a meal. Overall a casual yet put together vibe. Great for friends, dates, solo, or family. Washrooms not the cleanest, but the dining area was good. Did notice a few more birds than typical patios (tried to eat our scraps as we were waiting for the bill).

Food (3.5/5) - the menu is a combination of small and large plates ideal for sharing. A cosmopolitan menu of diverse items from many different cuisines. - Baja Caesar Salad - baby romaine, corn, caesar dressing, agave bacon, croutons, grana padano, chili spice. This was pretty good, romaine was fresh and sauce not too overpowering with a slight kick to it. - Coconut Shrimp with mango salsa, lime, chipotle aioli. Also pretty good... shrimp was cooked fine and the garnishes worked with it. - Tuna Ceviche with avocado, cilantro, corn, red onions, leche de tigre, cancha, plantain. This one was average. The sashimi chunks were pretty average and the overall mix seemed to lack flavour and moistness. - Hamachi Crudo with avocado, elderflower, pickled strawberry, jalapeño, pistachio, basil, olive oil. This was one pretty bad... some of the worst hamachi I have ever had! Overly fishy and off-colour. Service (4/5) - server and assistants were friendly and generally attentive. Some lapses in check ins from time to time. Rooftop is first come, first serve so a reservation does not mean you will be seated quickly and may have to hang out in the interior bar or tables until ready.

They have a raised photo pedestal which is ideal to take pictures with the Tower, Rogers Centre and lake in the background. They also have some trendy couches and sitting areas as well.
