This place is bright and clean and has a few tables for dine-in. The Purple Bakeshop offers a ton of Filipino breads, baked goods and some savoury items as well as full-sized celebration cakes. We absolutely loved their halo-halo and palabok here. If you like UBE or haven't tried ube-based desserts, this is a fantastic spot to visit. Service is fast and the staff is very friendly.

Visited this cute little Filipino bake shop nestled in shops at don mills…read more They sell Filipino sweet treats and baked goods. Pandesal, cake slices, coffee, cookies, cheesecakes, and a small select option of savoury food as well. For baked goods I walked out with: - Ube cheesecake: it was moist, Ube packed flavour with a hint of creaminess from the cheese. Enjoyed it. And read good reviews about it prior to ordering it so that's why I chose it :) - Ube crinkle cookies: a basic Ube crinkle cookie, not too sweet (which is great) and powdered with sugar on the outside. Ube flavour is mild not too overpowering, moist and fluffy cookie. Would recommend as well! - Spicy chicken empanada- buttery crust, soft and falls apart because the crust is so buttery!! Stuffing was generous, chicken flavourful but I didn't find the inside spicy. One is enough for one sitting. I would like to try other flavours as well. Service - friendly. Fast. Efficient. $$- I would say some of the items are quite pricey for what you get e.g. turon for $5, cake + coffee slice for $10-12, I think that I've found other bakeries to be a little more cost friendly. But assuming because this one is more franchised, Perhaps why prices are higher (?) Would overall recommend this place especially if you'd like to share Filipino sweets culture/food. They do sell cakes and party platters of desserts which is also a bonus. Would recommend to try!

As it was already pretty late in the evening and we were both pretty full, neither of us was in the mood for coffee and just wanted a small snack. There weren't that many options left, of course, as it was late, so, along with a 3.95 CAD Heartwood Farm & Cidery organic sour cherry drink, I ordered a Banana Caramel Cookie, and the friendly cashier there added a second one for free. Aside from being a very kind gesture, I presume the place was closing soon. The cookie was maybe 2.50 CAD, if I recall correctly, and it was good. I was slightly worried that it would be too sweet, but the caramel flavor wasn't super strong, and there was a good mixture of that and a light banana flavor. It was also surprisingly not too dry for how late it was. Overall, it was tasty, and the drink was also good.

Smaller pastries than the ones back home in Los Angeles and therefore, a little bit less pricey, so it allows me to sample more! The mango one was light and delicious while the fruit was sweet and had the perfect amount. The chocolate Rocher was good, but I think the taste was just a tad off because I ate the mango one first. Love chocolate so if there was a dark chocolate version of this mousse, OMG perfection!

Ladurée is a world-renowned French luxury patisserie, founded in Paris in 1862. It is world famous…read morefor its gourmet macarons. They have introduced a high-end gourmet macaron with their iconic logo on it. It is called Eugenie, named after Empress Eugenie, patron of the arts. There are only 8 iconic flavours: Chocolate, Vanilla, Pistachio, Caramel, Rose, Orange Blossom, Blackcurrant Violette, and Marie Antoinette tea. Eugénie is an unexpected marriage of textures, with a crunchy biscuit, a melting heart and a crunchy chocolate coating. This Union Station location is only a kiosk, rather than a full patisserie. It opened in Oct 2024. They thought they were only going to be there until Feb 2025, but as of 2025-06-23, they are still there. It is opposite Union Samples. They mostly sell macarons ($4.50 each!) here, but there are also a few bottled drinks, chocolate bars, gift boxes, yule logs, and gift cards. The customer service was good. Louis-Ernest Ladurée was the founder of Ladurée in 1862. There is free WiFi from Union Station. The kiosk is wheelchair accessible. There are washrooms in Union Station. There is a paid (expensive!) parking lot. Review 2025-118

It's the perfect place for a girls' date when you want to feel a little extra fancy and take some cute photos. Everything is so pink, so chic & so sweet. I'm obsessed!

And if you're not, do yourself a favor and try this out. We decided to share the Regular Fruitrio so we can try all 3 layers along with my favorite part, the ashta! It was freshly made and super delicious. It's definitely a more guilt-free dessert (although I'm sure it's loaded with sugar) but you will leave feeling satisfied. Service was pretty slow despite not being busy at all but other than that, this is a great place to curb your sweet tooth!

This was an unplanned trip as the original place was jam packed for brunch…read more Hmm not a pleasant experience. The place itself is clean and inviting. We ordered a cheese crepe and cheese boat. The person taking the order reminded that the cheese boat takes around 30 min (ended up being longer). The crepe was ok for what they charge. The cheese boat was definitely not worth the wait. I was thinking it was phyllo dough but was more like a pizza. The cheese itself tasted like Kraft mix version. Not pleasant. I think one would stick to their other food offerings as they seemed to be popular.

The flavor was nice and fragrant, but I'm not sure how I feel about the texture of the coconut dacquoise. It was a little different from what I was expecting. I also tried the strawberries & cream one, which was pretty standard. It's a small counter inside the store, and there was a short line when we went on a Sunday afternoon. There are a few benches at the back if you want to sit and eat. Overall, I'm glad I tried them, but I think TikTok definitely set my expectations a little too high lol. Their other pastries look super yummy though I would have to come back to try.

Order is a walk-up window with the menu on a stand sign across from it. You know it's a true small family-run business since one of the owners is there taking the orders and chatting it up with such kindness. We were there to try their seasonal Pandan Coconut Soft serve Sammoe, but since we got there late in the afternoon, it was already sold out. I was super stuffed from just having a late brunch, so grabbed a few items to go. One of my friends ordered a sundae, so of course I had a few spoonfuls. You can tell the ingredients used are good quality! The cakes are given to you after you pay at the window, but for any ice cream products, you walk through the side alley to their back window. There is a little bit of seating in the back, which works for warm/hot spring and summer days, but for rainy ones or winter, takeout is the only option as there is no indoor seating. No parking also, but easy to find street parking in the area.
