presentation was on point here! hate to admit that the croissant itself was just a bit dry..but the flavors were fun and innovative! Super cute storefront with a high table facing the window.
Quaint little cafe with a good selection of neat pastries that may be hard to find in other cafes. I have tried a few items already such as the box croissants, strawberry slices, iced lattes and they really do it well. As for service, sometimes it is a hit or miss. I have been served by some staff that were really friendly and some that honestly did not look like they wanted to be there.
Came here on Saturday morning before a hair appointment. The service was so friendly and welcoming. I ordered an iced white mocha espresso and a crookie. I did come back later and in the afternoon and I got a pistachio croissant as well as a biscoff eclair. The staff remembered me from the morning and it was a nice touch that they remembered me. Pastries are delicious. Coffee is delicious. Literally no complaints.
I heard of this place and I heard good things so I had to try to. We got the tiramisu croissant and pistachio wheel crossaint. You have to get here early because a line starts forming really quickly, the croissants are super light and crispy on the outside and the filling is so good and what I like about it is not too sweet. The pistachio croissant was my favourite, the filling was incredible and the pastry was super light. I can come back to Kensington just for this place I don't like sweet desserts and this place hits the spot.
I got the matcha tiramisu latte and a pistachio croissant. The matcha tiramisu latte is one of their more popular drinks accordingly to the barista who took my order. It comes with a lady finger on top which was nice to dip into the drink. Under the foam layer, it seemed like there was like a thicker cold foam/whip. The pistachio croissant was heavily topped with nuts and was filled with pistachio cream - very strong pistachio flavour all around! There are 2 bar seats at the window facing the street and there are a few steps that lead to another level with a few more bar seats.
Finally made our way to Little Pebbles downtown yesterday. We thought their pastries were a bit pricey but quite delicious! Our favorite was their match cream cube - you could really taste the freshness. The only disappointment was their black sesame latte; it was quite bland and could have used a tad bit more black sesame. Service was also good, there was a line up when we arrived and moved at a moderate pace.
The matcha is absolutely delicious. There's a wide variety of fresh desserts. The atmosphere of the renovated space is super cute and relaxing.
Kensington has many great places to grab food, but where to go for a nice warm cup of Matcha? I was drawn to Little Pebbles because of the cute name and the pastries to match. There were not many places to sit, but the counter person was kind and welcoming on this cold afternoon. I ordered a Vanilla Matcha latte and an almost too-pretty-to-eat pistachio croissant. Both were delicious; I would love to return and try more of their delicious treats. BB
Great matcha spot! They hand whisk their matcha per order so you know it's legit. It's right next to a Jamaican patty spot. Small interior, not really meant to do work but a great spot to get good matcha!
Drink Quality: N/A Drink Selection: 5/5 Pastry Quality: 4/5 Pastry Selection: 4/5 Price: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 3.5/5 Cleanliness: 3/5 Location: 3.5/5 This café offers plenty of indoor seating as well as a patio. The drink selection is diverse, including coffee, smoothies, and even alcoholic beverages. Bagels are a standout, and the menu features a variety of tasty sandwich options. Fancy croissants--such as matcha and tiramisu--are available for $6. The indoor space features vibrant, floral-themed décor, though the overall design could be more cohesive. There is no air conditioning, so it can get stuffy on hot summer days. Service is friendly but quick and transactional, with limited interaction beyond taking orders. A ramp at the entrance makes the café wheelchair accessible, enhancing its overall inclusivity.
I really love this place; cozy and small café with creative menu options and helpful staff. Depending on the time of the day you arrive here, they might have different options to choose from. So far, I have tried their matcha tiramisu and cube croissants. And loved both of them. The cakes and pastries are fresh and tasty. You can also use cube croissants as a birthday cake. Lol
Came here for their viral tiramisu latte and it did not disappoint. It's a small cozy and warm cafe, with friendly staff. They have a great selection of fresh bakery items, and coffee selection of course, something for everybody. The tiramisu latte was smooth, creamy, rich, sweet, and deeply satisfying. It came with a ladyfinger, which was perfect for dipping into that cream. It felt like a dessert in a cup, but coffee. Perfect for when you want a treat and a caffeine kick. I've had a lot of tiramisu lattes, and this one is definitely at the top. I would 100% recommend.
This tiny cafe in Kensington has become one of my regular spots. It's very small--seating is limited--but the cozy vibe adds to its charm. I keep coming back for their matcha latte, coffees, latte, and the Basque burnt cheesecake. They usually hit the spot and leave me happy every time. The drinks are consistently well-made, and the cheesecake is rich and delicious--most of the time. There was one visit where the cheesecake was still partially frozen, which wasn't great, but that's been the only off experience. Overall, it's a great little spot for a treat or a quiet coffee break if you can snag a seat.
Great little desssert place at Kensington Market. Love their creme brulee donut and fried cream sando innovations and they have lots of other unique items like this - it's brilliant Japanese-French dessert fusion! The creme brulee donut - the brioche is wonderfully soft inside, while crispy on outside and with the creme topping with some creme inside the dough - and the crunchy bruleed sugar on top makes for an amazing combo that really works. A mix of different textures. I really loved the fried creme sando as well. Really crunchy and when you bit down there is the custard waiting for you oozing out. Just wonderful contrast of textures. Highly recommended. read more
While exploring Kensington Market with a group of 11 people, I popped into this small cafe to get some alone time. You walk inside, order at the front, and take steps down a half level to a nook with small tables and outlets. I charged my phone as I enjoyed a latte and a bulgogi breakfast bagel on sesame. Both were good and service was excellent. read more

The pastries here are -- amazing! There's about six seats in the whole place, in a bizarre layout, and the queue management is a bit difficult while waiting for orders, and the coffee was meh, but the croissants-cum-fancy-pastries are sui generis and worth the visit all by themselves. The decor inside was actually very funky and cute, and if we'd been able to linger without feeling guilty we were occupying some precious seats, we would have. read more
Little Pebbles is one of my favourite spots in Toronto especially for their delicious croissants. After hearing about Little Pebbles opening up a new location nearby, I immediately had to give it a try! I really love their Kensington Market location but it is mostly a takeout spot so I'm glad there's a sit-in area at this new location. Raspberry Chocolate Cake: This is their Mother's Day exclusive cake that I decided to check it out. Admittedly I'm not a big chocolate person but still wanted to give it a try. The cake was quite good. Very diverse texture with their base going well with the rest. I wasn't a big fan of the topper but still overall a good cake especially if you like fruity chocolate flavours. Mango Passionfruit: With the warm weather, they have some refreshing drinks in their selection. The drink was a soda base drink with mango and passionfruit puree mixed in. Was pretty refreshing especially since it was a warm day when I visited! Downside though I do feel like it's a bit overpriced but still tasted good. There was a plenty of seating and saw some outlets by the window seating. I definitely feel like the spot is perfect both for working and catching up with a friend. It wasn't too squished in and had plenty of space. read more
Super cute coffee shop in Kensington Market! I tried the tiramisu latte and almond chocolate croissant. My latte was super creamy and delicious. A little heavy on the cream. The croissant was just ok. The inside space is very small with limited seating. read more

Amazing amazing lattes, matchas and pastries! In Kensington Market on Baldwin Street. It's a small place with big flavors. They make their own baked goods. Their pastries are large, moist and creative. The details and care on their croissants are beyond me. The baker is a perfectionist. For something different try a cube croissant (aka a loaf). They even make fresh mochi! I like the fresh strawberry mochi. Two bites of heaven. Lots of varieties of drinks. I suggest asking them to make the obviously sweet drinks less sweet, but even standard they are great. I like the tiramisu latte and tiramisu matcha. Both are served with a cookie! During the winter I ask for the drink extra hot. That is my coffee secret for better tasting drinks from all coffee shops. There is a Jimmy's coffee across the street. And I like Jimmy's, but once you try Little Pebbles, you won't cross the street! read more

I LOVE this cafe so much! They have fun croissant shapes/flavors and their tiramisu latte is heavenly. We were in Toronto for 4 days and we came here 3x. The people who work here are super nice and the space is very cute and cozy. There were Christmas decor and random cat decor on the tables! The tiramisu lattes are incredible! We didn't mix the amaretto syrup on the bottom so the drink was a perfect not too sweet level. My boyfriend had an epiphany as he finished the drink because the amaretto syrup has been slowly melting into the drink and he was hit with a burst of flavor towards the end where the syrup settled. He loved it! We returned two more times for the tiramisu latte. We also got the matcha tiramisu lattes and black sesame latte were also great! The stars of the show have to be the croissants! There were so many in the displays and they all looked delicious. Fun fact they taste as great as they look! We got the matcha raspberry cube croissant (fun shape, raspberry tartness goes well with matcha), mango passion fruit wheel croissant (this has to be my favorite because tropical flavors are so refreshing!), black sesame croissant (I'm a sucker for black sesame anything and this one has a rich flavor), pistachio croissant (delish!), yuzu coconut croissant (this one was so fun since I love yuzu but my brother has a nut allergy and there might've been Nutella in there?), cheesecake was standard but the black sesame chiffon cake with mascarpone cream was unreal (rich black sesame flavor)! Overall, I would definitely come back to Toronto for this cafe alone! I recommended it to several people who travelled to Toronto after Christmas! read more
Cute cafe with Asian inspired pastries!! Got the black sesame croissant and mango passionfruit wheel croissant. Service was kind and quick, probably only seating for about 6 to fit comfortably. The black sesame croissant was rich with a black sesame cream that was present throughout the croissant. Lots of layers. I wish it was more of a black sesame custard (instead of a black sesame whipped cream) which would be a bit richer. Otherwise it was pretty good. The mango passionfruit wheel was also tasty, felt more mango flavored than passionfruit. Really enjoyed the custard in that. Personally I find wheel croissants difficult to eat, but this wasn't had. Outside was crispy and inside soft. If you're walking around Kensington Market or Chinatown this is a great spot for some pastries! read more
Having seen this all over Insta, I finally caved and went to try the matcha croissant cube! The cube came with powdered sugar on top and matcha cream inside - there were so many layers in the cube! Definitely an aesthetically pleasing item. The only thing I found was the pastry was a tad on the dry side so not sure how fresh it was, or perhaps the croissant recipe could use a bit more butter. I understand how impressive and difficult it is to have such perfect layers in a croissant (even harder that is shaped in a cube - they even have a wheel version, no idea how they prepare that). Anyway, I also ordered the strawberry matcha latte. This was a great pairing - sweet strawberry pieces mixed with the bitterness of matcha. There were several other pastries that caught my eye while ordering so I think I might come back to try them when I am back in the Kensington area. Hoping they taste as good as it looks! read more
I have heard and seen the hype recently about round croissants. Did my research and had to try out a cafe while in Toronto. This small cafe is kind of in an Alleyway where Kensington Market and Chinatown is located. I came later that day and was a bit worried that they would run out of round croissant. It seems that they change flavor daily. Two options left and I got the mango flavor...not what I wanted but just wanted to try. My brother wanted regular strawberry croissant. The croissants weren't overly flakey but very soft. It wasn't too buttery/oily like usual ones I get. I thought it was a bit too sweet for me. I would recommend sharing it. Worth a try. read more
Saw the insane hype on insta about this place so definitely had to try it. The fact that I had to wait outside before I could actually enter told me that it must be good. Seating is limited and the place is pretty tiny (no bathroom!) but is heaving with people mainly wanting to have the viral croissants. The range was insane. Tuna onigiri as a croissant, the viral circle and cube croissants as well as SO many flavours. And everything looked so good. I opted for a strawberry latte and tiramisu croissant. Didn't realize strawberry latte meant strawberry and milk, but it was pretty good. Would've been better with a shot of espresso but I know for next time! The tiramisu croissant was creamy and rich with just the right amount of a coffee kick and not to sweet. But I did expect it to be a little warm instead of freezing cold, and was told by the staff that they can't warm it up (probably due to the cream). A nice bite nevertheless. A little pricey, but worth a try! read more
The place seemed to be instagramable from the photos, but wasn't as good as I expected. Located in Kensington Market, can miss it easily if you don't pay attention. The inside space was quite small, limited seats. The desserts and drink were ok, nothing really to be 'wowed' about. If have to say then puff tasted good. read more
Very small space with hidden bench seating. Came here on a cafe hop to try the tiramisu latte. The tiramisu latte looks like a tiramisu concept but doesn't have much flavor to it. Mostly cream. Just make sure to eat the lady finger before it disintegrates into the latte hehe. Usually popular, so I recommend coming here for to go items and maybe opting for crossiant instead. read more

The shop ambiance was very cozy and cute. I got the creme brulee latte, tiramisu matcha latte, and pistachio croissant. The drinks were just okay. The pistachio croissant was great though. I would return to try the rest of the baked goods. read more
Was pleasantly surprised that the Croissant Cube tasted just as good as it looked (the matcha cream inside was delicious, and the pastry was amazingly flaky). The main downside to this cafe are it's drinks - matcha espresso latte was pretty tasteless and the matcha yuzu drink was funky. The citrus matcha combo did not work together lol. The cafe itself is also tiny (maybe 6 seats overall) so it's better for just a quick bite or takeout. In terms of staff, they were all helpful & polite. Overall, I'd recommend their pastries but pass on the drinks. read more

We came here to get the black sesame croissant and the sesame lattes. It was good but the croissants tasted like it was overnight... it was not freshly baked at all especially if you come first thing in the morning. It tasted just like a black sesame cream puff - nothing special about it. The sesame latte you can choose your sugar level. I did the no sugar and it was good but most people probably would prefer some sort of sweetness to it for the taste. read more

Came here for the VIRAL CROISSANTS, and LEFT with the VIRAL CROISSANTS in my belly Got lucky, went there right before the line got crazy. The price for the viral croissants were def a bit more $$ than normal ones. BUT IS IT WORTH IT YOU ASK? YES!! The ones i got were pistachio with white chocolate ganache flavour. It was super fluffy but STUFFED with the delicious ganache. And the best part is, its not SUPER sweet which is perfect for my asian tongue highly recommend! I also got the tiramisu latte, WOULD NOT RECOMMEND it didnt really taste like anywhere near the tiramisu. Its more like latte with a biscuit that became a soggy mess after. Sorry but not a fan. I would go for regular lattee drinks or coffee over this. Check out my tiktok for some video content at @spiritedlaway Overall 5/5 for the croissants, 1/5 for the tiramisu latte. read more

Little Pebbles is a quaint cafe in Kensington Market that gained some online popularity due to their cube shaped croissants. We dropped by on a Thursday morning and it was actually quite busy. FOOD (4/5) We opted to pick up a hazelnut croissant which was glazed in semi-sweet dark chocolate and topped with hazelnut crumble. The filling was a nutella/chocolate that provided most of the sweetness. Due to the chocolate glaze, the croissant wasn't flaky but was still really fluffy and light. DRINKS (3.5/5) We ordered a Flat White and a hot Black Sesame Latte. The flat white was pretty standard with a flat velvety steamed milk, though I would've preferred some latte art. They use Di Mello beans I believe which is consistent with a lot of other cafes in Toronto. The black sesame latte was not bad. Don't expect the sweet Asian black sesame taste you would find in desserts, but rather a more roasted and earthy flavour. Still tasted good but just wasn't the initial expectation. AMBIENCE (4.5/5) The interior is super quaint with about 6-8 counter seats along the wall. There is a small set of steps inside which does limit the space for guests. There is a nice decorated wall with these sequin-like square things(?) and imitation vines. ACCESSIBILITY (4/5) The cafe is quite easy to get to as it is a short walk from Dundas/Spadina which is accessible by streetcar. Like most places downtown, car accessibity is super limited and I don't recommend trying to find parking around Kensington. PRICE (3.5/5) Price was pretty in line with most other Toronto cafes. The croissant was $6 which is a smidge more than most but nothing crazy. OVERALL (4/5) Little Pebbles is a nice quaint cafe with great pastry selections and good coffee. If you're ever in the Kensington area, be sure to check it out! read more
A little Japanese cafe tucked in Kensington Market, Little Pebbles is a cafe worth the hype. While it was too hot out a few days ago, my friends & I were looking for drinks to cool us down (I know, shame on us for not bringing some H2O). Though unassuming, Little Pebbles caught my eye immediately because all I saw was "tiramisu latte". Say whattttt?! I have no idea what magic they pulled but dang, the baristas made THE perfect cup of tiramisu latte. The cream was smooth and rich, balanced with light cocoa powder on top. That in itself blended well into the latte to give the drink so much depth in flavor and yet, it did all of that without losing the taste of espresso. Bravo for an awesome cup of joe, Little Pebbles! read more
