They only sell Italian croissants and macaron shells for the TooGood ToGo program. They croissants are really good if lucky enough to catch this grab on TGTG. They only bake the croissants that are imperfect and flavours can range from pistachio, raspberry, plain, chocolate. You can taste the difference they are made out of Canada, it's a much flakier, tighter rolled and lighter than the best ones here. The program also sells the broken macaron on shells, great to snack on!

If you have a sweet tooth, this place is absolutely a hidden gem for you…read more Although they do not carry as many choices as the Cheesecake Factory Restaurant at Yorkdale does, here at the Bake House they do have the most flavorful cheesecakes... - Oreo cookies n cream - Cinnabon - Red Velvet Cake - Reese - Triple Vanilla, and so on... They also have assorted (8 slices) in a box available. Absolutely addictive! All cheesecakes are frozen up for good storage in freezers. Leaving it overnight in the upper fridge, or leave it for 1 hour at room temperature before tasting it. So smooth, so creamy. Irresistibly delicious. Unquestionably the real deal. Other items include Macaroons (6pk for $12.99, 12pk for $24), Portuguese tarts, and Tiramisu. I only have a medium-sized stomach. So, will come back and try them later on. LOL.

I have dropped by The Social Blend at Scarborough Town Centre (STC) a couple of times now. The…read moremacarons are delicious. The short review is to go. The downside is that it doesn't make any drinks, unlike its Yonge and Eglinton location. I also recently found out that the Palgong Tea on Highway 7 in Richmond Hill offers The Social Blend macarons. You don't get the same extensive selection, but they are equally as creative and delicious. When I do visit the STC location, I park by Cineplex. It's by the main mall entrance next to Old Navy. I believe that it's entrance 2. It still has some construction happening. If you walk straight ahead from this entrance when you're in the mall, you'll see the back of The Social Blend. The name of the store is easy to spot. It's by Chick-fil-A. Staff here are always helpful and nice. I tend to have questions and they are great answering them. As usual, choosing macarons can be touch. I want all of them! I have had the following: - Watermelon - Green grape coconut - Raspberry - Tiramisu They were all super cute and yummy! You get a a lot of filling. It's not too sweet, which I like. The shell is crispy and chewy. The filling tends to be subtle, but yummy. So good! This store does not make drinks like its store on Eglinton does. However, it does have canned drinks. The Mulligan sparkling lemon black tea is excellent! I am happy that I have options to get The Social Blend macarons without hitting uptown Toronto. My experiences have been consistent. I'll be back soon. (385)

It's a great spot to grab a sweet snack and a warm drink. They have a full selection of flavors. The Korean macarons are nice since there is more filling. The whole pastry isn't sweet, which is always a good thing. They look so pretty and is perfect as a gift or to bring to a party. The smallest box set they have is 5 pieces. They also released specialty macaron sets as well, I've ordered the pokemon one last year.

Tip: This cafe is on Fantuan…read more A week ago, I was on my Fantuan app. I saw that Togo Cafe had a coupon for 50% off a drink. I said yes to both the coupon and the drink. I placed my order for these items: - Peach coconut milk latte - Tiramisu macaron I got a message saying that it would take ten minutes to prepare my takeout order. It was enough time for me to drive there from my home. This cafe is located at Skycity Shopping Centre. It's bubble tea places galore in this plaza, with bubble tea joints likely in the double digits. I found a parking spot steps away from the door. I backed into it and went inside. It was busy at around 6 pm on a Tuesday evening. There were four people inside the store. There were two couples I was the only one who didn't have a couple, unless you count my imaginary friend... haha I didn't know where to stand at first. I stood in front of the order area. A man came over. He was handling everything by himself. I let him know that I had a Fantuan order and rattled off the last three digits of the order. He found it and handed it over to me in a bag. The pickup area was where the couple of couples were. I thanked him and left. My peach coconut milk latte looked pretty. It kind of looked like neapolitan ice cream in drink form, minus the vanilla. I wasn't able to select the type of milk that I wanted. I assumed that it was regular milk that I got. I know that you can also get oat beverage here. I could taste the coffee and coconut flavours. It's the peach that I barely tasted. It was still a yummy drink. I was happy that it was flavoured, as I am not a regular coffee drinker. I was pleased to see that this place has macarons. I ordered a tiramisu macaron, which went for $6. It must be good for that price! I can say that it was awesome. It's this gigantic macaron with large shells and a ton of tiramisu filling with a bit of chocolate cake inside. If you ever want a crazy macaron experience, you need to get one here. I savoured it. It tasted like tiramisu, but I was eating a mini sandwich that was heavenly and delightful! It was such a special macaron. I'd treat myself to a gigantic macaron again. Me time. Macaron time. I'll be back to try a tea and another macaron. (343)

Came for afternoon tea. Service was bare minimum. I believe…read morethe store was only open for any reservations (we were the only ones there). Felt like uninvited guests.. not really any service besides food being taken to the table for us. Some of the tables were not cleaned (had crumbs), we had to ask for a spoon to stir sugar into tea... spoon was clearly dirty (had dried up food on it). Ambiance was quiet.. like I said, felt like uninvited guests. Tea selection was not good (came before and there were lots of selections before) Scones were good. The egg salad toast was very smelly.. unappetizing.. Smoked salmon bread was weird... it was just a mini loaf with smoked salmon inside, nothing special. Shrimp toast was also odd tasting. The sweets were meh, red bean matcha cake was 5/10, didn't taste fresh. Hazelnut cake was 6/10 nice take on Ferrero Roche cake. Macaron was meh... Overall not worth the price. Definitely not coming back again.. even if it was free

It's a small cozy restaurant, only a couple tables for dine in, but due to the limited parking spaces in the area, it seems more popular for takeout/uber/fantuan orders. We were greeted warmly, and informed that luckily there were a few flavours left, as it was already quite late in the day and most would have been sold out already. We got one of each flavour, as listed: Lemon Pikachu, Pineapple Bulbasaur, Sea Salt Caramel Squirtle. The Pikachu had a good balance of sweet and tart. The Squirtle didn't taste like salted caramel, it tasted like sweetened butter. I didn't get to try the Bulbasaur, so can't speak on the flavour of that. Based on the poster, Bulbasaur wasn't coloured correctly, but it was still cute. Priced higher than other places and reasonably so, as you can tell they really spend time to perfect the cute designs. I just wish they worked on the filling a little bit more to have a product that's not only cute but tastes awesome, too. They also offer Asian dishes like braised beef noodles and pork chop, the aroma smells wonderful and something we will definitely be back to try. Based on the two issues (Squirtle flavour and Bulbasaur colour), I would rate this 3*, but overall experience was pleasant, so increasing to 4*.

The space is bright but on the smaller side with only a few tables for dine-in. The staff helping me explained they recently opened (about a month ago if I remember correctly) and they're still working on printing out signs so I didn't know what flavors each macaron/cake was but he patiently walked me through every single one. What I got: - Kuromi Macaron (Salted Oreo) - Pikachu Macaron (Lemon) - Squirtle Macaron (Salted Caramel) - Bunny cake My Favs: - The bunny cake was super light and not too sweet. I don't remember exactly what flavor it was, perhaps apricot, but a great treat overall. - Lemon pikachu macaron was my favourite of the three as I love citrus flavors. This was super lemony but not too tart. Final thoughts: The macarons not only look amazing but tasted great too! I love a macaron that has a bit of chew to the shell which these do and each one was super flavorful. They are definitely on the pricer side, but the craftsmanship that goes into the designs and the strong flavors make this a 5 star for me. I'll be back to try some of their food menu and more of their desserts!

Was visiting Toronto & drove pass this place while retuning to hotel a few blocks away & decided to…read morewalk back in the morning & check it out. 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.

On a whim we stopped by. There's a large display case right after entering of branded merchandise…read more(t-shirts, pins, etc) and then 2 other large display cases of goodies (cookies, macarons, cakes, buns, etc), a smaller case with patties and shelving with more buns/bread. They're a nut free bakery. I was intrigued how they made macarons without almond flour and asked what they used instead but unfortunately the employee didn't know. We got a HK milk tea, one of their jumbo cookies and a pack of macarons.The jumbo cookie was too sweet for us. As you can see from the photo, there's a lot of chocolate chips! Some of the macaron flavours kind of tasted the same but the matcha was prominently matcha.
