I came in after seeing the sign for banana pudding which was sold out but it was an excuse to try something else. Ordered a croissant bread pudding and enjoyed the fresh taste of this twist. The way things are presented in the window I must say is quite mouth watering. Hard to walk by and not want something. I had ordered a London fog latte which was not bad at all but paled in-comparison to the pastry. Would definitely want to try other things they offer!

This is a bakery in Toronto that more Torontonians should be rushing to. The baking is absolutely…read morephenomenal for the most part but there is one glorious piece of decadence that Hermes Bakery makes with perfection, that is of course kokosh. To look at it, this might not seem like much. It isn't decorated or made fancy like some bakeries wasting time on the appearance over the taste. This is a heavy and rich pastry filled with either chocolate or cinnamon and made to perfection. I don't want to take away from their other baked goods, which are also amazing, but this is a rarity that I have had a difficult time coming across, and if I ever do I find it hard to imagine it will taste as good as it is made at Hermes. The one piece of advice that I would give is to call first and make sure they actually have kokosh available. They make it only once or twice a week and also their hours are not as traditional as other businesses. So do yourself a favour and give them a shout before you make the trip. So go Torontonians! Go forth and get some kokosh. You will not be disappointed.

I had only a danish and a butter croissant, which means I need to go back for more items. So far they delivered on the quality. Bonus points for the lady at the counter.

Here is a play by play Paris Brest: decent cream filling with the choux a bit stiff for my liking Black forest: good again with real cherry spread evenly (important) Opera: a good take on this dessert which many places get wrong. Stiff sponge and fillings and not soggy. mille feuille: I ordered this for the host as they enjoy it. Went well. Not an elevated version by any means but if you like mille feuille traditional take go for it Raspberry praline alize: decent and went well. If you like those flavor profiles order them for sure. I will give their croissants a try next time. This store is apparently part of a chain with most locations in Quebec (a good thing as standards are higher there for desserts imo) 4 stars as I will be back to try other offerings.

We were leaving the mall and somehow found ourselves peering in the case looking at all the scrumptious desserts. We didn't need anything; however, that didn't stop us. The coffee was smooth, the baked goods looked divine and they kept trying to convince you to buy more right until you left the booth. Welcoming environment, friendly staff, thank goodness I was full, otherwise, I would have kept spending.

It took a Yelp event last month to draw my attention to Cake It. I enjoyed my first experience so…read moremuch that I have been back for more. Cake It is at Promenade Shopping Centre. 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)

They try different flavours regular from feedback from customers. They were promoting their Blueberry Pie slices so they had pieces of it as samples to try. I tried it and it was delicious. They also serve ice cream from Kawartha Ice Cream. They have a loyalty program for their drinks. Every location is dog-friendly. The owner of the chain owns two dogs.
