The place was full of delicious-looking desserts, but I stuck by my cookie craving and wound up grabbing a Florentine. It's fantastic. It had a deep, super rich caramel flavor I found irresistible, while the chocolate coating on half of the cookie was equally satisfying. I also bought some Mini Xmas Cookies to try later and they were equally top-notch. French Corner is the real deal. I'll definitely be returning.

In the box was: White Chocolate Peach Mousse Fruit Tart Coconut Exotic Fruit Pistachio Mousse Raspberry Mousse Log Cake Aesthetically, all the pastries looked amazing! I felt bad cutting them to take a bite! My favourite is the Coconut Exotic Fruit. All the layers tied nicely together and tasted really good! The fruit tart was also good. Im not the biggest fan of peach but it was not bad as well. The Raspberry Mousse Cake was well balanced and not too sweet or tart. Sadly to say the Pistachio Mousse that was shaped as a cute Christmas tree was my least favourite. As this was a gift, I did not visit the location in person or know the price, but I do want to eat other selection of pastries and cakes if I get the chance!

Patisserie D'Or has been on my bookmarks for YEARS and I just stopped by since I was finally in…read morethis area of Oakville! Honestly, my first impressions of the interior weren't great. It looks really tired and dated, in desperate need of a refresh. Interior is more small town general store as opposed to French patisserie. The refrigerated display was covered in condensation so honestly, it wasn't invited and difficult to see the cakes/tarts that were hidden behind the water droplets. I felt as though this did a HUGE disservice to the baker 'cause this definitely prevents people from being able to properly see the products. Adjacent to the display case, were croissants (chocolate, almond, plain) and pain aux raisin. Clearly some items were in demand because there were less of certain items. Plain Croissant was $4 which, based on the size isn't too bad. "Fancier" croissants were closer to the $5 range. I didn't see any fresh bread, but they had frozen bake-at-home ones in the fridge. Not sure if it was because they were sold out. I got the pain aux raisin and it was pretty good! Not super flakey, a bit more moist, but not dry either. Not super buttery. This was in the early afternoon. And the pain aux raisin was DEFINITELY better than the poor example that I had at Gouter (Etobicoke). That was tiny and not very fresh! Overall, Patisserie D'Or could've been better, but if it's in your neighbourhood, it's probably a bonus.

Hi Yelpers! I was on…read moremy way to get some plants and I was super hungry for some French croissant. I found this super small and cute pastry shop. I ordered the chocolate croissant which was super soft and flaky which I loved. There was a good amount of chocolate and almonds in it. The plain croissant itself was also really good. Though my only grudge was how brown it was, almost burnt. I also did try their macaron. I tried the pistachio flavour. The flavour is there but the quality, unsure. It was a frozen pistachio so not freshly made. I would come back for some more croissants.

4.5 In honour of…read morereceiving my Elite 23' badge, I'll finalllly drop my review for this place lol. I visited this bakery 2-3 times in 2022, so It's probably about time I did my review. Let me start by saying there are not many authentic French bakeries outside the downtown core, so it's such a relief when you finally find one in the GTA. In comes Tradition de France. Right when you walk in, you are greeted with a "Bonjour!". They offer a wide variety of items but I mostly just come for the croissants and more specifically now, the almond croissants. I'm not gonna lie, they're pricey. It's $6 for one almond croissant BUT, take a look at my pictures. The size of one of these is my face+. You're insane if you think I personally, could finish one of these in one sitting lol. This is defs a two-part pastry lol. This croissant is so big and does not look like your average croissant but boy is it GOOD. It's buttery, no fake almond extract taste present and the almond filing texture is just right. It's filled to the point where the bottom of the croissant gets a little soggy, which is exactly what I look for in an almond croissant. The plain butter croissant is also perfect. Flaky and buttery with all the layers. Again, it's so hard to find authentic French bakeries outside of Toronto, so Tradition de France is a good place to start, if you're looking to get your croissant fix.

A cute little cafe that sells cakes and little pastries like cream puffs and little cakes and tarts. The vibe in here is great. Honestly 'cute' is the perfect way to describe the interior. I ordered the puffs. The person at the counter said their most popular are the sea salt oreya, matcha and ube. I obviously had to try them all (I shared with my family). I also ordered the salted caramel one (I think). All the puffs were delicious. The cream inside is really good. Had good flavour and did not disappoint. Each puff was $5. Would go back next time I'm in Hamilton!

Fresh large variety of pastries. We got the pistachio donut and it was divine. Thick donut with a pistachio cream/glaze and topped with real pistachios. Service is quick and there is even a small dine in area. Outside they have a lovely Terrance area for people to sip their coffee and enjoy the pastries.

But the standout for me was the Pastel de Nata. It has a wonderfully creamy custard, a beautifully baked caramelized top, and crisp, flaky tart edges that really bring it together. It is so dangerously good, which is very darn easy to keep eating. I enjoyed it a lot and will definitely be back soon!

You've probably heard that this place has the best black forest cake in the city, and that's what drew me in. At first I was nervous not to see one behind the 1970s style counter window, but upon asking I was told that they had a frozen one which only needed a few hours at room temperature to thaw and be good as new. Or, it could just thaw out overnight in the refrigerator. But I had no time to wait, 4 hours would be punishment enough! In the future I will call ahead, to make sure that what I want is ready for when I want it. I had options. There was a small one, that I was told would serve eight, or a large one that I was told would serve 10 to 12. I opted for the small one, because for two of us eight seemed like far more than enough. Now, I understand why they say it serves eight. There are eight cherries on top of it, and I suppose each slice is supposed to get a cherry. however, each slice that gets a cherry better want to have two or three slices because that's the amount of getting with those sizes. I would say there would be no problem serving 16 people with the small cake. I'm a little nervous to think of what the large one looks like, but a little excited as well. You are free to sit down and eat any number of the treats that they offer in shop. There are a number of tables, and it's quite spacious. But for me, I just paid my $38 on debit because you can't use credit card, and vowed to return. I hear there's a tiramisu with my name on it, but again I'll call ahead for that one, and it would have been too much to order two giant treats on one day. Even if it was for my birthday.

I think the majority of their business is fulfilling custom cake orders. At the time of my visit, they had a few different types of canollis that were priced around $2.50-3. So quite average in pricing. It was good. Tiramisu - $2.50 for a smallish slice. Although fresh, they used whipped cream. So that was a bit of a disappointment. Sadly, not many bakeries use the real deal anymore. I prefer the tiramisu at Sweet Paradise. Just ok for me.
