Amazingly delicious! Hidden gem in this neighbourhood. The store front looks so humble, and inside displays all sorts of beautiful pieces of desserts! read more

Patisserie 27 - Cookie dough and fruit tart - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Impression: Their cakes are not overly elegant. Ambience is relaxed and modest, quietly serves the neighbourhood with modestly unique presentation of items. I like their simplicity. I have been sick of seeing those "Japanese inspired French" bakeries that have fake-y heavy make-up decorations for their storefront and products, totally losing themselves. This place is not like that. Very reserved. I felt that when stepping in the space. I got: # Ryusei: Interesting looks. Hazelnut sponge cake with coffee flavoured ganache, topped with a thin big sheet of black chocolate. I was impressed by the quality of chocolate. Sponge cake had flavor-filled chewiness to it. # Hana: Again the almond sponge cake's texture was not light. But the mousse had real pineapple flavor which was endorsed by finely shredded coconut. # Ren: The sponge was flourless. Texture is dense, really really chocolate forward piece. # Kurumi: To me, this is the best among all cakes. Almond sponge cake was flourless, but nicely moist. Caramel butter cream was not too sweet & nicely bitter. It had generous amount of walnuts on top! # Misaki & other fruits mousse cakes: Design was simple and not as sophisticated, so was the texture. Mousse was not as airly, however, the mousse's taste was very well balanced, hitting the perfect balance of fruits' tangy-ness and sweetness. # Plain croissant: LOVED this. Light and airy, good buttery aroma, when torn I saw the layers and air pockets making a beautiful honeycomb structure. Outer layer is crispy, saltiness is perfect. All reasonably priced, modest, and this croissant! No wonder this place has been loved by the local community! read more

P27 is a small shop on Jane Street. I noticed it after going to a yoga studio close by. Their cakes are French with Japanese inspiration. They use good ingredients for some pretty unique desserts. We are a fan of the walnut and pumpkin cakes. Since discovering them, we often bring them to friends. As mentioned, the shop is tiny so there is nowhere to sit. Good for: cake read more

Showing up at 8:00 in the morning guarantees that when you get your croissants, they are still warm. The only thing that makes getting tasty treats from this location difficult are the hours. Open from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., it can be challenging to work around any work schedule. That said, Wednesday to friday, it makes a great place to stop on your way in. And, there is always the weekend. A large chocolate croissant, flaky and delicious, for only three and a quarter? How can that possibly be! 3.25 is an amazing bargain, the likes of which I haven't seen since 2005! read more

Service is always wonderful! Croissants are increíble! Breads are so good, I always get more than one.

Delicious croissants!! Almond ones are sweet, crunchy, buttery and with filling. So good. Make sure to order before you come because they get sold out quick! The macarons are so pillowy! Light and airy filling and a sweet exterior with a slight chew. Yum! read more

I've driven on Jane St. in the past and noticed a line up on Jane and Annete. I've wondered the reason people were lining up, but never put much effort in finding out the reason for it. When looking for a patisserie in the area, I found out that Patisserie 27 was the reason for the line ups I'd witnessed in the past. Mystery solved! They offer a lovely variety of desserts, macarons, cookies, viennoiserie and breads. The pain au chocolat and almond croissant are nice; the pain au chocolat could have a bit more chocolat, the almond one tasted fine. For desserts, I've tried Kurumi, Kabocha and Hana. I found the Kurumi (almond meringue with caramel butter cream and caramelized walnuts) on the dry side; the caramelized walnuts at the top were a nice touch. The Kabocha (flourless almond sponge with white chocolate pumpkin mousse) had a very subtle delicate flavor; I was expecting a bit more flavor. Hana (almond sponge with pineapple mousse and toasted coconut) was absolutely lovely, moist and with wonderful pineapple pieces in the silky mousse. On their website, they have instructions on how to pre-order and avoid the line-up on Saturdays and Sundays. Service is friendly and pleasant. Limited street parking in the surrounding area. TTC routes 35 and 55 serve the area. TLDR; nice selection of unique sweets and pastries in the neighborhood read more

I didn't take a photo sorry. But I've been here before as I had read their croissant were really good. I definitely think they are light and crispy and soft and buttery. All the things I love in a croissant. Cons are that the they sell out a lot and the hours are short 2pm Anyways always worth a visit if you're a croissant person read more

Authentic French bakery made fresh, in-house, and in a location where you'd almost always miss unless you lived in the area. Local gem.... Kinda don't want anyone to know about it ;) Epic croissants. read more

Other than waiting for them to come out of the oven for 15 minutes. The croissants were unreal. And in the end a warm out of the oven croissant is even better. read more

So delicious. The guy in front of us ordered three lemon tarts so I change my game plan and picked one of those because I figured they must be good! And they were, so tart and lemony. I got two Macarons, both were fantastic and I'm very particular. The almond croissant was unlike anyone I've had before, it was caramelized and somehow warm even though I don't think it was freshly baked. Definitely wish I lived closer but will make a special trip out again read more

Patisserie 27 - a variety of pastries on display - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I am a Croissant enthusiast. Have been from East to West, North to South in Toronto, searching for the best. My journey has taken me to Rahier. Patisserie Sebastien, Nadege, La Cigogne, Duo, and French Corner (Mississauga) among many others. And was so delighted to find Patisserie 27 a couple of years ago. Many a times have waited for at least an hour outside, and sometimes disappointed that they ran out. It is all worth it, as I can safely say that their croissants may definitely be amperage the top 5 if not the top. (Top top is actually subjective). It was a wonderful to find the most delicious apple pie. Just so fresh and so rightly crisp. Will keep going! and keep munching on their croissants. read more

Some of the best croissants in town, and the chocolate almond ones are one of my favourite treats.

My review is based on the food as I never actually been to Patisserie 27. My coworker brought in croissants from here and I had a chance to try one. By far one of the best I've had! The croissant was crispy and flaky, the perfect shape, airy and soft on the inside. Highly recommend their croissants, will need to visit again and try the other offerings! read more

Patisserie 27 - Croissants - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is known to make the best croissants in the city and it's true. The beer cheddar one is, I mean, I don't have words. All the croissants are rich and crumbly. There are lineups for sure on the weekend, be prepared to wait. If you can get there Wednesday - Friday do it (closed Monday and Tuesday). Coffee good too, and the sandwiches - pro tip, ask for them on a croissant instead of the ciabatta! The pumpkin pie they have at thanksgiving is so good - I've only had a slice, but went for the whole one and I'll report back! read more

I thought I explored most of the good bakeries in Toronto and then someone peaked my interest on a bakery out in the far west end. The clue was seeing the pictures of entrement and beautiful layered pastries. When I finally arrived at the non-descript storefront, the line up was at least 10 people deep. I have come to the right spot. The name give you any hints but it's an French bakery with strong Asian influences... I love the type of these bakeries which uses classic techniques with new burst of flavours to give you wonderful and enjoyable dessert. Though there is at least 4 people working the store, it is slow to go through the line up. They make coffee here and that takes a huge chunk of time. They also dont take any credit cards ... only cash and debit cards. Just have some patience... the baked good are totally worth it. The store is mostly for take out as it is quite small and there is only 2 tables made for 2 people each. It is clean and cute with a country folk seasonal decorations thrown in. Almond Croissant - My first bite of Patisserie 27 was of the croissant and I knew this place could compete with the best in Toronto. Buttery, flakey, and light... this croissant brought all the right qualities without having the almond paste being too sweet or syrupy to mash and dampen the layers. Solid croissant. I still think Tempered Room has a better dough flavour but Patisserie has the golden beautiful layers that are envious. 5/5 Mixed Berry Turnover - bright soft berries are cradled in soft beautifully layered layers. I found the turnover not as butter flavoured or as flakey but every bite is still delicious. They often rotate the fillings so you can try different ones on different days. 4/5 Vanilla Flan - Creamy and soft flan that has a light vanilla flavour inside a shortbread butter crust. This one is good.. it almost as good as my favourite from Tempered Room. This one is much more shallower so theres more crust to the flan. I happen to love the flan so I like the larger flan one from Tempered Room. 4.5/5 Kombucha White Chocolate Pistachio Entrement - A wonderful example of the Asian influences combined with traditional technique. I loved how it was well balanced so the vegetal and nutty notes shine through. It was just the right amount of sweetness and the texture was just gloriously creamy. It's an awesome Thanksgiving alternative to the traditional pumpkin pie. 5/5 This is a great bakery to try good french viennoiserie but also new Asian influenced desserts that you cannot find in other places. read more

Hands down, the best croissants. Light, flaky, fantastic flavour. Be prepared to lineup though, it's popular especially first thing in the morning. read more

I was craving a butter croissant and someone in the blood west neighbourhood recommended i venture north to try out this place. What a delight! Walking in, I was reminded of a simple bakery, the kind you will find in parts of Montreal or in France. Unassuming and friendly, this patisserie cafe was just perfect. The butter croissants were perfectly flaky and the butter was light and not overpowering. What a gem! read more

First, we had the Ham, Broccoli with Cheddar & Béchamel Croissant seeing as it was one of the only savory croissants left after a long day. (We arrived just after 5 p.m. and they were opened until 6 p.m. on a Friday.) All of their prices were very reasonable here and I found that at $3.50, it was worth the fluffy and cheesy goodness. We asked for it to be heated up. While it was flaky and fluffy, we did find that it was a little oilier than we liked. We tried two desserts that day. First, we tried the Kabocha, a flourless almond sponge cake with white chocolate pumpkin mousse. Again, I found that a slice of this cake was decently priced at $4.95. A lot of other bakeries in Toronto with this quality of food seem to cost at least $6. Anyway, this Kabocha cake was really unique with the almond bits on top of the cake -- it gave it some texture while the white chocolate pumpkin mousse was extremely soft and smooth! I really liked the mousse part. It was definitely a cake that I had never tried before. ^_^ Our second cake was the Aki. It was an earl grey and caramelized cake with mousseline cream and chantilly cream. This appeared similar to the Kabocha cake in terms of how it was assembled (same shape with layers!). However, I really, really enjoyed this Aki cake! The top of the cake was caramelized which reminded me of the hard sweetened top on crème brûlées. The sweetness was nicely contrasted by the taste of the earl grey tea. This cake was even more smooth and creamy than the first cake. read more

I'm in between a 3.5-4 on this one, but I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in this area! Patisserie 27 is really small with maybe 2-3 small tables. On a day that felt like -23, they kept the door open! :( I understand that that's what they do in Paris, but it never gets that cold there. I'm sure the people dining inside the café didn't appreciate the huge draft. They were out of chocolate or other flavours of croissants, but granted, it was about 3:30pm by the time I got there. The plain croissant itself was pretty fresh, flaky, but also a bit on the bready side. I wished that they had other flavours available! I also ordered a slice of Kabocha - the top/bottom crust comprised on crushed almonds and I think it was flourless. Middle part was like a pumpkin mousse with a very delicate flavour, not cloyingly sweet. So if you expect really sweet, you will not like this place. read more

This place was on the radar for a while as it combines the two core approaches towards food IMO i.e. Technique (french) and ingredient focus (Japanese). The place is minimalist and has very little seating so if you are in the mood to dine in grab a seat first as you might not get it later. The display area is small but is used well. They even managed to fit in a small espresso machine somehow (La Marzocca GS3 which I thought was made for home use). Ah well its the results that count. I had read rave review for their croissants so had to have one of those. Other choice was a Millefeuille and Kurumi (honey walnut dessert). They also had quite a few Japanese take on French desserts that looked interesting. First for the croissant folks we have a winner here. One of the best croissant in the city IMO since the old guard has been letting me down for a while. Millefeuille was created fresh so had the right consistency (kudos for doing this as I don't know of any other place in the city that makes it on demand). I haven't had the Kurumi dessert before but the combination is just right. My friend who is a macaron fiend was impressed enough to order some of them to go. The feedback is positive so will be back for sure to try those along with the croissant. A solid solid place for dessert. 4 Stars. read more

As a self-proclaimed Francophile, I can tell you, this place reminds me of a true Parisien bakery. The pains au chocolat? Divine. Macarons? Delicious. Croissants? Flaky and buttery and oh, so, good. They don't have a lot of selection and if you are not early enough, you may not get what you want, but still. You have to go. Bon Apétit ! read more

Wonderful bakery. Delicious cakes, breads, and French pastries. Interesting mix of French and Japanese culinary styles and artful care. Crowded with lineups, especially on weekends. Limited opening hours, presumably because they are so successful at what they do. read more

Delicious croissants and baguettes. A little French gem in the west. The owner is very kind and attentive. Love the place. Will go back many times for more delicious treats! read more

Wonderful bread and baked goods. If you are serious about it though, you need to come in the morning and plan to take it with you. They sell out of the best stuff before lunch, especially on busy weekends. read more

Good pastries, breads and coffee. Decent prices. Small but very tasty selection. I recommend!

Why oh why are the almond croissants so sparse?!?I came here at 8am several times only to be disappointed with not a single almond croissant in sight. But once you're there there's plenty of other goodies worth trying. Just your basic butter croissant puts so many other "bakeries" to shame (sorry La Gourmand, stick to cookies). I will say that this place could use better signage and merchandising. I often order the same thing because I'm just not sure what else is available. As for the items in the dessert case, most of them look foreign to me because of the Japanese names. I'm willing to bet they all taste great. Maybe just find a way to make your food more approachable. From what I have tried, it's all great and super fresh. My one complaint would maybe have to do with the copious amounts of nutmeg I can taste in the bechamel which is the base for all of the savoury pastries. Could be what makes it traditionally Parisian but just not my cup of tea. read more

I need to win the lottery so that I may sit on my ass, watch soaps and eat macarons all day. And I'd get these macarons from Patisserie 27! This small bakery/coffee shop has been in my area for a while now. We picked up a few tiny cakes and baked goods from there when it first opened but it wasn't anything that wowed me. We decided to give them a second chance and grab some macarons for a dessert at a dinner party. When we arrived, they only had 4 flavours on display - Yuzu lemon, coffee, pear liqueur and raspberry. But when I enquired about more flavours, a tray from the back produced a few more including chocolate, caramel, reg. lemon, and strawberry. I got a dozen macarons ($1.50 each) of 3 flavours - chocolate, caramel and lemon. We've been kinda obsessed with macarons lately after trying the salted caramel ones from Bobbette and Belle. Of the three flavours we got, the caramel was our favourite - one bite revealed a delicious caramel centre! The lemon macaron was tart with a sweet creamy centre and the chocolate was decent as well. I live dangerously close to Patisserie 27 which means I don't have far to travel to grab sweet, sweet macarons before watching my stories on TV. read more

Had a delicious apple turnover and a latte there today. Thoroughly enjoyed both. There are 3 small tables for seating area (plus enough room for my stroller). Friendly staff. I will return!! read more

I agree with the previous Yelper. It just needs a couple of small tables and they are good :) If you love macaroons and don't want to spend too much, you may want to consider this place. They are good and they are a bit cheaper. Keep those sweets coming! read more

This place is so random! You'd never see it, it's teeny, virtually no signage, and nothing like it in the neighbourhood. Major downfall that it's not so much bigger... Cuz this place is legit. Amazing pastry, tasty breads, desserts and macaroons pretty damn close to anything I've had in France. Like any real bakery, you gotta go early. Suck it up; it means you get what you want and it's fresh. They're open on most holidays too, so that's just great. No specific recommendations as everything I've had has been fantastic... But a personal fave would be the pain au chocolat. Bright and early and still warm. Bonus that the macaroons have real flavour, too. I find a ton of places they just look like colours, and taste like sugar. read more

Macarons are made with buttercream here. Yuck. Wish I had asked (dummy!) before I bought one to eat. Still, it wasn't badly made, not old, just cold and with.. icky buttercream. Ate a tarte as well and found it all right. I think I should stay away from lemon tarts, they seem to remind me of eating dish detergent (strong lemon flavour not done right). I may come back to try another non-lemon tart and update this review, but so far, I wouldn't go out of my way to come and eat here. I'd come here if I was in the area, but not purposefully. read more
