One of my favorite restaurants I like to visit and also thankfully close to me!! When you come in,…read moreyour server will prompt you to find a seat (if it's not too busy), or will direct you to a seat. The restaurant is very spacious and comfortable as it's meant for families, friends, late night etc. Their menu offers a good selection of menu items besides crepes, however if you're here for the crepes, they have savory and sweet options! Everything is pretty reasonably priced considering the portion size. On average it takes around 15-20mins to prepare as they are made fresh in the open cooking area. I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak Crepe ($14) and wow, it was stuffed with meat! I would say it was a nice mountain of meat, without an overwhelming amount of sauce. Everything was cooked just right, and there was a good amount of the ingredients overall. The beef was tender, and the sauce complimented it well (had a bit of spicy kick too). We were very satisfied with our meal (as usual), and will definitely be back again!

Last Saturday, I was in my car, parked steps away from Zoup! I had placed a dinner order. I looked across the plaza and noticed Paris Baguette (PB). I had visited COBS Bread a couple of hours earlier. Did I need another bakery visit? Yes! I had some time to kill before picking up my dinner. It was raining. I drove over to PB and parked relatively close to the store. I walked in. I felt like I was in heaven. Carb heaven. Where should I start? I got a tray. There were instructions to grab a small piece of paper and lay it on the tray. I got tongs and went to work. I saw palmiers. My mom loves them. I grabbed one with my tongs and broke off a curved section. It was probably a first for me. I ate the broken part and placed the imperfect palmier on my tray. The broken piece was yummy and was perfection. I finally understood why my mom loves palmiers. I hit the croissant section. I got a pain au chocolat, which is probably my favourite type of croissant. I also got a chocolate croissant. A nice, older woman started chatting with me. She was so sweet. She let me know that she frequents this bakery often and loves it. I asked her what items she hasn't had. It was two items, which floored me. She noticed the chausson aux pommes that I had on my tray and said that it was yummy. I got the following items: - Chausson aux pommes - Chocolate croissant - Pineapple brûlée pastry - Palmier - Pastel de nata - Pain au chocolat - Curry croquette The nice woman let me know that Mia, who was the staffer behind the counter, let her know that this bakery has Korean owners. Really? It made sense seeing mochi donuts. We both hit the checkout counter. Mia got her order and said to grab a seat. She'd bring everything to her. This nice woman said that she was shy of being 90 years old. What?! She looked great! I wouldn't have guessed that I was talking to an 89-year-old woman during my entire time here. I hope that when I am her age, I am savouring pastry as often as my new friend. Mia was great. She put all my pastries in a box. She singled out my savoury curry croquette in a paper bag. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good. I got my receipt, thanked her, grabbed my goodies, wished my new friend a wonderful day, and left. There was a Wild game that night. I had a pastry each period. Three pastries in three hours. They were delicious! I will say that the ones with fresh fruit were the most expensive, just over $6. They were worth it. The chausson aux pommes had the best apple filling. It was flaky and delicious. I absolutely devoured the pineapple brûlée pastry. The pineapple chunks were set in custard and were so naturally sweet. This pastry was superb. The pain au chocolat continues to be my favourite croissant. It was flaky and had the best chocolate in every bite. So good! I had the chocolate croissant and loved it. It was fresh, flaky, and soft. The chocolate drizzle had the right amount of chocolate with the buttery croissant. I was extremely happy with my pastel de nata. The custard had a hint of sweetness. The base of flaky. It could have been torched on top more, but I'd get half a dozen next time. I didn't know what to expect with the curry croquette. It was delicious. It had a crispy exterior, crusted with a mix of white and black sesame seeds. The curry filling was full of good flavour. It had veggies in it. The corn and carrot combination worked nicely. I raved about this place to my friend at work today. There's one at Heartland in Mississauga, which is perfect for us to do a run after work. I had an excellent experience. It was nice meeting a passionate pastry lover while getting her take on what she loves. Everything that I consumed was excellent. I hope to get a drink next time and perhaps sit down to enjoy it. I'll be back. (117)

(I used to live in this area and was surprised to see this new place; a much welcome and needed pastry shop/cafe !) We had the breakfast sandwich, which was so scrumptious and savoury; very unique delicate flavours. We also had cheddar chive biscuit, which was also so subtly delicious - love the infused taste.

Parking is a bit tight and chaotic, but I did notice a sign mentioning additional rear parking on weekends, which is helpful. Before even stepping inside, the patio caught my eye. Definitely a great spot for when the weather warms up. Inside, the space is thoughtfully laid out with a variety of seating options and shelves of packaged goods like coffee and cookies. As you move through the winding line, you pass by their fridge and freezer items (think ready-to-go meals like shepherd's pie and grab-and-go options like chia pudding), followed by freshly baked breads. Honestly, the hot honey pizza focaccia looked incredible! Last was the drink menu and their pastry display. It's the kind of setup where you can't help but look at everything. I went in knowing I wanted the iced banana matcha, and also picked up an almond croissant and a carrot walnut loaf. Service was friendly and welcoming. The iced banana matcha met my expectations based on what I'd heard. It's not the strongest matcha if you're a purist, but it leans more toward a dessert-style drink with really enjoyable flavors. It's definitely on the sweeter side, but even as someone who prefers "not too sweet," I still loved it. The almond croissant was beautifully flaky with a rich, flavorful filling, and I appreciated the generous amount of sliced almonds on top for added texture. The carrot walnut loaf was another standout. It was super moist and well-balanced, not overly sweet even with the icing. Overall, everything felt thoughtfully made and high quality. I just wish it were closer so I could visit more often. They have such an extensive menu, and I'd love to try more next time.

There are a few tables and chairs to sit down to eat or a quick stop for a drink. Service 5/5 The staff were very friendly and helpful. They walked through the options they had and were patient with questions. I really appreciated being able to sample some of the bread before deciding. It made the experience feel welcoming and relaxed. Food 4/5 There's plenty of choices on the menu and everything tasted freshly made flavours are solid and satisfying, and the ability to try samples first helped narrow down what to order. Would definitely come back to try more items. Just keep in mind that some products would be sold out later on in the day, so try to come early in the afternoon if you want to see everything.

Tip: Bun Appetit is around the corner from Kinton Ramen in Commerce Gate plaza…read more A recent Yelp tasting event introduced me to Bun Appetit and its baked goods. I bought a couple of buns as a customer since then and I'm hooked! Bun Appetit is located at Commerce Gate. It's located closer to Highway 7. It's around the corner from Kinton Ramen, which I have been to a handful of times during the pandemic to pick up good eats. I found a parking spot steps away from Bun Appetit on a Wednesday evening at around 6:15 pm and backed in to it. It's easier to find parking when it's a weekday, in the afternoon. Bun Appetit's breads are naturally fermented for 168 hours. I liked that all buns and breads are gut-friendly and low on the glycemic index. I'm always interested in lower sugar options. I have sampled these items: - Baguette - Whole wheat walnut vegan bun - Lychee bun - Raisin earl grey bun - Oreo chocolate delight bun - Matcha pistachio pretzel - Whole wheat German pretzel - Yeast loaf with Nutella They were all delicious. They were soft and airy. My favourites were the whole wheat walnut vegan bun and the Oreo chocolate delight bun (also known as the messy hands bun). The former had whole walnuts that were so crunchy and fresh. The bread was chewy and soft. The messy hands bun used dark chocolate. It was also fluffy and soft. It lived up to its name. I had messy fingers just eating a morsel! It has 9 g of sugar, which is practically nothing being fermented. I liked how unique the flavours were. I loved the smell of the lychee bun. I wish it had lychee pieces in it. Instead, it was wine-infused and that flavour overpowered everything. I loved the yeast loaf with Nutella as a dessert option. I nearly picked up a loaf after this event was over! As a parting snack, I got the truffle mushroom one. It was the last one. I love mushrooms. It was super delicious with truffle oil, enoki mushrooms, spinach, garlic, and melted cheeses on top. The bun was soft and perfect. It was such a gourmet bun. I have since returned to get more buns: - Strawberry beetroot - Chocolate arancia The strawberry beetroot bun was fluffy. I decided to cut it in half. To my surprise and joy, it had whole strawberries in it. Wow and yay! I love fruit, but I wasn't expecting so much of it in this bun. I loved it. It was naturally sweet from the strawberries. The beetroot wasn't noticeable in flavour. I feel it added colour to the triangular bun more than anything. The chocolate arancia was equally as unique slicing it in half. This bun had candied orange bits in it. It tasted so good with the chocolate morsels on top and the subtle chocolate flavour in the bun itself. It was delicious. I need to return for more. I have found the buns of my dreams, which sounds odd and funny. It's all true! I paid with a credit card. You can register your phone number to collect points towards goodies. I'll be back. (185)

I also ordered a coffee and wasn't expecting much, but as I sipped I realized how good their coffee was- unlike the bitter coffees at Starbucks or Tim's. The next day, I went back, this time I brought my son with me- he confirmed that coffee was really good and he can't stop raving about the Patties, I ordered a dozen to take home. Today, I brought my boyfriend- he had the patty and coffee, I had the strawberry roll and coffee. He knows his patties and he said this is one of the best he's tasted. He liked it so much that he bought a box to take to work. He also had to tell the owner how good the coffee was. The strawberry roll was perfect, refreshing and not to sweet. I'm glad this place is a stone's throw away and we will definitely be back.

I bought a 1/2 dozen chicken, 2 beef and a few coco breads. Patties were relatively small compared to what a Jamaican patty should be and light on filling. Crust is definitely 10/10 but the filling is a 6/10. Chicken patty filling was surprisingly fairly spicy but flavor was low salt & bland, coco bread was fresh but just ok. My wife said the beef flavor was also bland & like a thick gravy. The crust was flakey & could have help Jesus feed the multitude, a good thing. I am confident they can do way better in terms of flavor, filling portion & texture. Service was above average and they had a few Jamaican sweets & snacks & I would still recommend but my family told me there are better places around.
