The service was super friendly, coming by to check in how the food was and refilling our tea. We shared one combo (there was a variety of tea to choose from and we opted for the Cherry Blossom Green tea which was light and floral) and also tried their feature cupcake of the month (Strawberry Matcha, while not very matcha-y, the strawberry buttercream was delightful). I loved the Royal Albert plates and teacups they used as well as the cozy interior with Parisian decor elements. It wasn't busy on a Sunday afternoon and I'd definitely recommend this quaint spot for a lovely teatime break!

The stars finally aligned and I was finally in the area near opening hours - and after hearing that…read moremy friend had dropped by later that same afternoon only to leave empty-handed, I knew that arriving at the start of the day was the right choice! I couldn't pick just one pastry so went for four - ube croissant, kouign amann, ham and cheese, and the double baked almond croissant. First off, I have to say that all of their pastries had an excellent flaky crunch - light and airy, with every layer defined and crunchy. The inside was soft and not too chewy or dense at all. All of the pastries were like a dream - I finally understand the hype around croissants. If I had to pick a favourite, it would probably be the kouign amann - it was my first time trying this type of pastry and it won't be my last. I was very satisfied with my entire order at Elmo's and I'll be returning!

Baked with pistachio frangipane & filled with kataifi folded with pure pistachio paste & tahini, with milk chocolate rocher glaze. I discovered Elmo baking co when they had a pop up at Richmond location, long time ago. Then, I have always visited their pop up at other shop and I was so happy they opened their own shop. I usually liked their double baked items. This Pistachio Rocher croissant is based on Dubai chocolate. Dough was crispy. Chocolate glaze was very good. The filling Kataifi with pistachio paste and tahini - I prefer a bit more sweetness in it. The pistachio paste flavor dominated , if there were more sweetness , then, it might be more smoother to me . Overall , I enjoyed this item its unique flavor.

On my first visit, I ordered a plain croissant and an almond croissant. Both were perfect in terms of crispy flakiness on the outside and buttery softness on the inside.

I didn't get to try them but my friend did say they were all very good, especially the cassis one. I'll have to try another time.

The pistachio sauce tasted extremely buttery and artificial, and the chocolate topping was honestly very bad and didn't taste good at all.

This time, the sale item was a cheese wiener bun which was fairly solid but could've used a bit more cheese in my opinion. I'm excited to see what other items they will put as part of this promotion since I'm able to try new buns that I wouldn't normally get (I usually stick to their Curry Beef Bun since it's the best one I've had). I've also tried their cakes in the past and I would rank them fairly high amongst other Chinese bakeries in the area though their cakes are a bit more pricy. Overall a very convenient location especially when on the way to Walmart for errands, a very solid Chinese bakery with lots of pastries that aren't too sweet
