Second visit! I heard they sell a chestnut tiramisu featured on the Culinary Class War show on…read moreNetflix, so I had to try it, and it was absolutely delicious. It wasn't overly sweet and had a delicate flavor. They also offer a variety of baked goods, pastries, and cakes, so I'm excited to try something else next time. Plus, having parking available makes it even more convenient. The place was bright, clean and spacious with a friendly staff.

I was looking for a cheesecake for a birthday celebration since I know they love New York style…read morecheesecake but I wanted something a bit more special and not from a grocery store. Found this spot and they had a good selection mid afternoon to pick up on a Sunday. The person at the counter is super helpful in helping describe how the cake may taste. They have basque cheesecake which is richer and the flavour I'm sure the person I'm gifting would confidently enjoy but I wasn't sure if they would prefer the lightness of their popular japanese options over the classic NY cheesecake. She explained the glazed popular cheesecakes they have aren't regular New York style cheese cake (despite their Uber Eats describing it as such for their Yakult flavour cheese cake). It's more like cheesecake mousse. I didn't want to get the basque cheesecake because it didn't look as nice. So she said the black sesame is in between the classic basque / New York cheesecake and the popular glazed mousse cheesecake. It's also made of marscapone and layered with matcha and not too sweet. It's also her fav so I went with her recommendation. I notice the black sesame cake isn't shown as available on Uber Eats delivery. I decided to pick up in person to make sure the delivery goes smoothly. The price difference is just $1. However, Uber Eats does charge tax and other fees whereas there's no tax at all on pick up. I eventually tried a piece and it does taste like a hybrid cheesecake in texture though the middle thin layer is a bit soggy, though I didn't mind that part. However, even though I love matcha I'm not a fan of the matcha and black sesame combination. I think I would've like an intense black sesame middle layer. The matcha layer is more intense creating an imbalance and over powers the black sesame flavour in the cake. Still a tasty cake especially for someone that prefers lighter not too sweet cakes. Note the staff does hand you the payment and there's a tip option of 10% as the lowest suggested option, which I found kinda excessive for just putting a cake in the box. They don't even make cakes at this location. It's all made in the Sauga location and she didn't even write the happy birthday on the cake. I know it's optional but it's just the consumer experience, I tipped but I feel like the tipping culture is a bit excessive to pass onto the consumer to tip on an expensive cake. Just price the cake fairly to compensate the employee or waive for pick ups and have it for only dine-ins. Unlike the previous review, it seems like they do provide a little free happy birthday topper and also a complimentary skinny candle and you're also welcome to buy extra candles if you want. They also sell some $10~ decorative helium balloons to make your celebration a bit more festive. This is their second location. The main one being in Sauga, which I've been told has been in operation for over 25 years apparently. This one I was told was opened in the last 2 years.

2026 Birthday Series -- Stop #2: Paris Baguette…read more I'm kicking off a series reviewing all the places I visited to redeem my birthday goodies in July 2026. Along with an overall rating, each spot gets scored on redeemability (how easy it is to claim) and actual value. Paris Baguette Redeemability: 4/5 (requires app download and sign-up, scan at counter) Actual value: 4/5 (a free cake slice!) Outside of birthday, my partner, family and I do frequent Paris baguette, but with the price tag, I think it is only the most worthwhile to go when there's an ongoing promotion; otherwise, the items can be overall overpriced (ie a special drink at 10 dollars with tax, a donut at 8 with tax and a sandwich at 20 dollars with tax....these are way too much) Go in the morning for the freshest goods.

This French patisserie is mind-blowing, and reminiscent of the best patisseries in Montréal and Paris. We ordered the chocolatines, the cheesecake and the spanakopita. They were all exceptional, and the quality is impeccable. I am glad that I don't live closer, or my waistline would balloon :-)

Lumière Pâtisserie is a Thornhill gem--proof that you don't have to go downtown for great pastries…read more Yes, it's tucked into a suburban plaza off a parking lot, but inside it's light-filled, calm, and smells like heaven. The service is consistently warm, and the pastry case is hard to resist. We've tried many of their cakes, and the blackcurrant queen cake is hands down our favorite--tart, elegant, and just sweet enough. Their salted caramel croissant is beautifully laminated and filled with just the right amount of caramel. In fact, their croissants across the board are solid--flaky, tender, and buttery without being greasy. The sourdough bread is excellent, and the espresso drinks are reliably strong and well-crafted. It may look like Paris inside, but don't let that inspire your inner Francophile--the staff are lovely, but no one's following your French. Still, this is the kind of place that keeps regulars coming back. We're definitely among them.

The set up of Le Delice is more like food court style, will some seatings in the open area. When I dropped by this particular afternoon, there are tons of whole cakes in the display cases. The individual portion cakes though not that more choices.. there are around 5 and a few petite fours. Hazelnut Mousse ($3.50) I think it is a hazelnut mousse, since most of the individual cakes are none labelled and I have to ask the server a few times and tell me what each one are. All I heard HAZELNUT I am sold! I am nut about nuts! After my taste test, I think it is more like a creamy yummy piece of heaven with bits of hazelnuts and full of RUM inside!!!. Really light and rich at the same time.. Aside from pastries and sweet, they also serves grilled sandwiches too. $10 minimum to use your credit card and $5 minimum if you want to use debit..

I came to try their mango mochi since I was running errands around the area. Unfortunately they…read morewere sold out! So I just ordered a few of their black sesame mochi. It was $2.20 each or $6.50 for 3. The staff spoke Cantonese to me and was very friendly. The inside was like your typical Chinese bakery. They didn't have any seating but it's right next to the food court in Centerpoint mall. I felt like the black sesame mochi was just decent. I prefer a softer mochi and these were definitely more firm and was kind of lacking in filling. The first and last bite had no filling at all. I'm not sure if I would come back again for these but if I am in the area, I will come try the mango mochi. They also sell other Chinese desserts and buns but none of it looked too interesting to me except their fresh mango cake. It looked quite decent. Also they take credit card which is nice.

Service is always quick, and the ladies working are very enthusiastic about their products. (I was almost persuaded to buy all the mochi flavours today -- the lady made them sound so good! "Fresh mango!") I used to come here often before the pandemic but haven't been that much recently. Guess it really has been a while, since when I dropped by, I realized how great the prices are here! Looking back at past reviews from others, there are complaints about prices, but look where inflation has brought us... Most buns, even the quite large ones, are under $3. And the usual buy-6-no-tax. They take credit cards. I do really like their mochis, especially the black sesame one. And their garlic bun is also good too. Haven't tried any of the cakes, as I don't like cream that much. Some of the meat-filled buns are not very filled, but I think about okay for the price point.

This place is the whole corner of commerce gate on the commerce gate street. They offer taiwanese…read moredesserts like taro balls, grass jelly, etc but not as much as meet fresh's selection for example. There is a minimal amount of seats, you seat yourself. Order at the front, staff brings to food for you and you return it at the counter. They are usually sold out of the puffs in the night by the time it's dessert after dinner so I rarely get to see one on display when I come here. This is my second time here and I think I would come again if I want to ever try the puff. This time I got the taiwanese dessert. They offer about 9 selections hot or cold. The servings is not bad for its price and the amount of toppings you get. The purple rice wasn't so sweet too so that's a big plus. Rating 3.8/5

It wasn't frozen and the texture was just perfect. You can tell they use real milk to make it. Tried the hazelnut sea salt cake and this one was also yummy! Had to try their famous jasmine grape cream puffs and it was so refreshing! The hazelnut one was also pretty good. Overall a nice cafe to hangout!

The store is located next to mall entrance 4. There is plenty of parking in the evening during weekdays. The storefront is beautiful. I was mesmerized by how gorgeous it looked the first time and still feel the same way. If you are feeling fancy, you can order a latte with a printed design on top. Their coffee machine has different designs to choose from. I also like that you can get dairy-free options in your latte, such as oat or almond beverage. I loved my latte. It had a touch of sugar, which I appreciated. It tasted yummy and hit the spot. This dessert place is known for making sweet sushi. It looks like sushi, but in dessert form. It takes three days to make one sweet sushi roll. It looked like a lot of work to put it together. I have had the Oreo sushi. It was sweet, but not to the point where I felt that my teeth were disintegrating in front of me. I loved how soft the interior was and how nicely it held together by the chocolate exterior coating. Yummy! What brings me back to this store is the fine assortment of desserts. The store also has sugar-free options that I dig. I've had the following items so far: - Lemon macaron - Lemon tart - Cake pop (sugar-free) - Magnum filled with mousse The lemon macaron was awesome. I love tart lemon and this macaron had it. The lemon tart was equally as tart (pun unintended, but it's kind of funny that it should be) and delicious. It had more crust than I would have liked, though. I'm more of a filling person. Delicious nonetheless! The cake pop was moist and yummy. It was the right portion size, except that I wanted five more of them. It was delicious. The magnum was super delicate. I loved the white chocolate on the outside and the decadent mousse inside. It was a bit heavy that I couldn't hold it by the stick and eat it. All of these goodies were not overly sweet. It felt decadent eating each dessert item. It was nice treating myself to these goodies. I will give a croissant a try next time. There's so much to check out, including cakes and cheesecakes. Staff are warm and helpful. I love that they describe each dessert item that I'm curious about with so much passion. I'll be back again for more. (326)
