Walk in to a nice, well-decorated, spacious interior with a casual atmosphere great for enjoying a meal in a relaxing environment. Great selection of chocolates, cakes and pastries. I definitely recommend their home-made gelato (Italian ice cream). They've got free WiFi, too. Did I mention that Robert and his wife Patty appeared on Slice Network's reality TV show "Cake Walk" (Season 1 Episode 1)?

I've been grabbing cakes from here for a while and they're always a hit!…read more The cakes are nice and moist without being too sweet, though the buttercream can be a bit much for some. I've also tried most of the pastries and they're just as good as the cakes. My favorite is the coffee éclair, it's light, airy and sweet. Honestly, I like it more than the classic éclair. The coffee flavor just takes it up a notch. The icing on top can be a little sweet on its own, but it balances out well with the whole éclair. I always grab one or two when I'm in the area. The lemon raspberry cake is another favorite. It's light with just a hint of tartness, and the poppy seeds in the cake are a nice touch. The zeppoles are perfectly light, not greasy, and just sweet enough. I've also had the vanilla and caramel cake, and it's super soft and moist. The buttercream is on the sweeter side, but it goes really well with the cake. Black forest cake is lightly sweetened and I feel like I can eat a huge slice without it being overwhelming. Overall, this bakery is awesome, with a ton of variety. They've got baked goods, sandwiches, salads, and more. Definitely worth checking out!

Stumbled upon this bakery offering a variety of sweets and even some savory items, from cakes and…read morepastries to cookies and baklava. You can pretty much satisfy all your sweet and savory cravings here. They even had fresh bread and bagels. I picked up two items: a box of melomakarona and another of baklava. Let me just say, both were incredibly fresh and delicious. The melomakarona was definitely my favorite, soft, moist on the inside with just the right amount of syrup and packed with that classic spiced flavor. Absolutely no complaints there. The baklava was just as good, drenched in syrup and loaded with nuts. It was very sweet...super sweet, so I could only eat half a piece at a time, but I really enjoyed it. Definitely worth checking out this place if you're in the area; I'm sure you'll find something to satisfy your cravings.

We had a special occasion to celebrate and we just didn't want to cook and we ordered one of their combo. They advertised for 4 different combos at $75 each which would cater for 4-5 people. Brunch Festif Menu Classic Menu Apéro Menu des fêtes We chose the Brunch Festif which has Quiche, Pain Garni, Baguette Française, Viennoiseries assorties, Fève au lard etc. Quality was fresh, the amount was more than sufficient and well worth it. They also have a myriad of tempting choices, like pizzas, all kind of beautifully decorated cakes, ice cream and gelatos, etc too many to list. The entire place looks attractive and a feast for the eyes. They are open everyday from 7am which makes it super convenient. There are a couple of tables that you can eat on site and parking is free. Well worth a visit!

This is a new bakery and hasn't been open too long I think. I have gotten takeout from them many…read moretimes during the pandemic and lots of their fresh bread - there's nothing like fresh bread with a soft fluffy interior and a crisp crackly crust. They also have a great selection of lovely pastries, my favourites are the ones topped with lots of fresh fruit. I don't know where they're sourcing those lovely berries from in this season, they're always huge and juicy! The pastry cream is always lovely, rich, and smooth. I also really enjoyed their cannoli. They also offer a lot of ready to heat italian meals, like canelloni (my favourite so far) with a soft cheese filling, chicken parmesan, eggplant parmesan, and cannelloni made from eggplant(?) Not sure what the name is. The food is decent but I'm not a huge fan of the eggplant. The eggplant itself is a bit tough and underseasoned. The chicken was a bit dry. But ready prepared food is never going to be the same as fresh restaurant quality - it's good for what it is. Altogether a very nice place.

Disappointing. It's an Italian bakery with some French pastries mixed in (don't ever try to go to a…read morebakery that does both). I avoided the French stuff, and went for the Italian pastries to check their quality. Lemon Bomboloni (cream filled doughnut) - disgusting. It was pure, cold cream, no lemon flavour. Took one bite, tossed it. Dough was decent though. Pistachio Bomboloni - delicious. Very pistachio like and the only reason why it's getting 2 stars and not one. It was very good. Soft, fresh, well made. Lemon biscuit - dry as the Sahara desert. I ate it anyway because I was hungry and I wasted $14 on 3 treats, one of which I had to throw away. Would I come back? Yes for the pistachio doughnut. No to the rest though I may give some other Italian pastries a try. Typical, overpriced bakery serving rich people who have no sense of what is a good bakery or not, just that it's convenient, much like that bakery on Sherbrooke (Pugastel) that I can't even figure out why and how it stays in business due to its dismal offerings. This one at least, has a good pistachio doughnut.

Cosy little bakery and deli. I've been craving Polish meat pierogis and wanted to try their out…read more.. (will update when I try them). So here they have frozen pierogis with cheese, potatoes and the meats (pork & beef) ones. It's 12 pierogis per bag for $7 which is an ok price. At the meat counter, I took the Krakowska sausage--really nice, light flavor, not salty or fatty. Great recommendation by the store keeper. My mom ordered some head cheese and although the name sounds weird, the taste isn't! She asked if she could try some and got a thin slice to try. It's delightfully garlicky, jelly and meaty all at once. It's really good so I recommend you try it! It's sliced thinly so great for a hearty sandwich. I'll be back for more! Finally there are the puffy Paczki (ponki as they call it here) and there are 4 flavors when I went: cherry, apple, cream and the traditional favorite, plum flavor which is glazed. You can lightly warm them up in a microwave or toaster over before eating. It's fresh, squishy and doughy. It's a good price for a donut--$7 will get you six.

I never had polish pastry before (ponki as it were). All my friends here told me this was a really…read moregood place, so I went. At first, I was only expecting a bakery shop, but they had more alternatives to baked goods, such as a meat case, from which I did not order...it was 9am after all. However, I did order the ponki. If you aren't familiar with ponki, it is essentially a filled doughnut, perhaps cooked differently like in a polish style i guess, but basically the same as a doughnut. They had multiple variations, like cream or chocolate filled, and apricot or plum filled. We got a 6 pack for ~$4.50. I gotta say it was pretty good. They had about 3 chairs inside the restaurant and about 6 chairs outside the restaurant, and the staff of two were nice and helpful. They also had perogies, which I'll probably go back and try. I think i'd frequent this place if I lived in that Monkland/Sherbrooke - NDG area.
