Shirini Sara Pastry House is located at Leslie and York Mills in a plaza with plenty of free parking. It's great for both the sit-down coffee chat and the on-the-go sweets takeout. Its modern interior, illuminated and clean, sets the stage for a delightful pastry experience. Service is friendly and attentive. Their 6-inch cakes are a steal at $34.99 (tax included, "Happy Birthday" writing no extra charge). This visit, I picked up a mocha cake. It's mocha cream with walnut bits. The fluffiness was spot on and the flavour and texture was exquisite. Will I be back? Absolutely. Shirini Sara, my co-workers are headed your way too.

Came back to this bakery to get a cake for a birthday. We got the pistachio cake - ordering was quick and easy, cake was ready as per their time. The pistachio cake had a nice height and simplistic design but the attention to minor details really makes it nice to look at. The cake on the inside is nice and fluffy, the pistachio cream is airy and sweet. Love the crushed pistachios in between layers. Price: Definitely more expensive than most other bakeries but worth it!

Located in the Dollarama Plaza just north of York Mills and former site of the Second Cup. This is a very nice replacement and addition to the neighbourhood. There is plenty of parking out front and if it gets busy, there is also parking out back. I was warmly greeted by Ali when I stepped in and was amazed with the assortment (cakes/ pastries and nuts) She took the time to explain each one and I settled with their signature pistachio croissant paired with a perfectly crafted latte. The croissant was perfect, nice and light and buttery with a generous filling of pistachio paste that is not overly sweet allowing the nut to be showcased! Looking forward to trying out the many other selections on offer

The Persian new year was ushered in recently and what better to have cake. What appears to be a pistachio cake. A high quality yet simple in construction was this dessert. It was light and not overbearing. Delicious if you ask me. I can only comment on this one product. If I revisit Toronto I'll have to sample other goodies here. Happy Nowruz everybody!

Cheesecake

The cheesecake is delicious! Got a slice to take home and will be heading back for more soon

Pistachio cake

If you're looking for a good light cake that's not overly sweet, this is it! I look forward to birthdays just so I can pick up a cake here. The pistachio cake is my favourite! The staff is also very lovely. They often have a few different cakes available for walk-in as well as pastries.

Great place to buy Persian style sweets. I found Shirini Sara cake in many famous supermarkets in Toronto like Loblaws and Yummy Market.

Cafe Kray - Matcha mango bingsu

As someone who craves bingsu pretty often, I was pretty disappointed by the bingsu here considering…read morethe steeper price. I got the matcha mango bingsu which came out to just over $20 after tax and tip. What was most disappointing was how little of a matcha taste I got from it. The base was a very sweet milky taste, and I really wish they infused the matcha directly into the shave ice itself. The matcha was just drizzled on top with matcha powder, along with some whipped cream which only diluted the matcha taste further. On the other hand, I will say they are generous with the mango topping, which were very fresh and perfectly ripe. They gave one single mochi cube which I feel they should either give more of or none at all. The environment itself is very noisy. Not sure what it is about the walls but they do not absorb sound well at all. Voices echo and bounce off the walls like crazy, it sounds like everyone is yelling and talking over eachother in there. That aside, the space and decor has a cute vibe and the self-serve water/coffee bar is a nice added touch. If I ever come back here, it would either be out of convenience or to try their drinks/a different dessert. Unfortunately the bingsu falls short in my opinion especially for the price tag. The base should resemble more of the flavour rather than rely on toppings.

A collection of cheesecake slices, custard tarts and pastries were available for pick up. The staff was courteous and has a self service concept. For dine ins - a minimum of 8$ per person order is essential, so be mindful of this criteria else you can surely opt for take aways! Mango crepe- amazing portions and the crepe was exceptionally soft. The consistency was perfect coupled with fresh sponge cake and mango bits. The STAR was the ice cream- flavours which felt authentic and a much needed change from the artificial coloured mango based ice creams widely available. TOTALLY WORTH YOUR BUCKS! Just a suggestion the main entrance is just opposite the cashier making it congested at the area, crumpling the space.

The only reason for the 4 star review is that the ambiance is lacking and far more of a takeout place than a sit down, with plastic cutlery being used for dine-in. You put your order in through a QR code so don't have much to say about service but the food and drinks did come out quickly. That being said, I'd definitely come back here in a heartbeat.

Coconut Pandan Cheesecake & Black Sesame Tart -- Worth a Try!…read more Just tried Uncle Tetsu's two newest flavors and honestly both were a solid experience! The Coconut Pandan Cheesecake really stood out to me -- the pandan flavor is incredibly dense and rich, and the texture is great. The only thing is, since it's freshly made, it can be a little too moist by the time you get home. My tip: Bake it for a bit and it firms up nicely. Also, huge props on the green packaging -- it's clear they put real thought into matching the box to each flavor. It makes every new release feel special, which I really appreciate as someone who loves having something new to look forward to! The Black Sesame Tart is a must if you're a tart lover -- the tart shell itself is chef's kiss as always. The black sesame filling is super rich and indulgent, though I personally found it a touch too sweet for my taste. Definitely a treat-yourself moment, so go in knowing that! Overall, great seasonal picks from Uncle Tetsu. If you're curious, go try them before they're gone -- limited flavors don't last long!

Uncle Tetsu does seasonal items from time to time. It's great how you can also peek inside the windows facing Yonge St. so that you are able to see what they are currently offering. The bakery is take out only where it is small. I've been to this particular location of Uncle Tetsu to purchase their tarts and cheesecake several times. Service is always attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Their original cheesecake is great along with their original cheese tart, matcha cheese tart, and more recently their hojicha cheese tart. The space is small but it is not difficult to decide what to order as there are only a limited amount of items on the menu. Overall, a great place to pick up a small snack or dessert to enjoy at home. Definitely will be returning to pick up more desserts in the future!

Cafe N One - Lavender Soufflé Pancake

CAFE N ONE . …read more Cafe n One is probably one of my favourite "new" restaurants that I tried recently. Located on the 2nd floor at Yonge and Finch, Cafe n One is a bright, cute cafe serving Japanese inspired brunch items, drinks, pastas and desserts. . . Classic Breakfast 4/5 Chicken Karaage 3/5 Croffles 5/5 Green Tea Soufflé Pancake 4.3/5 Latte 4.8/5 . . We arrived around 10 minutes after open and there were already a handful of people seated. The drinks and food came out pretty quickly except the soufflé pancakes which takes 25minutes to prepare. My favourite was the croffle. For $10, you get 2 big pieces of croffle which tastes great with either whipped cream or syrup. The chicken karaage was kind of dry on its own, but dipping it in the syrup and eating it with the croffle made it better. If you want a hearty breakfast, the classic breakfast is a solid choice. The soufflé pancake was fluffy and delicious, well worth the wait. I was amazed by the detailed latte art as well. Highly recommend this cafe!

We happened to drop by the day of the massive Iranian protest, and were surprised by how much business it had, and also how soundproof the windows were. - Classic breakfast: lots of food! Pork belly was especially nice -- rich as crispy. - Karaage honey hot cake: Quite a bit of food too, hot fried chicken can't go wrong! - Ice Americano - Iced houjicha latte: didn't really get much houjicha flavour. Prices were reasonable for brunch in the area. The service was fast and efficient, and with a smile. There were a lot of customers that day, and we felt the indoor noise level was a bit loud to have a comfortable conversation. Still... We'd love to come back and try more of the menu.
