Needed some pastries ASAP without venturing too far away from work, so Google led me to this little…read morebakery in the sketchy part of Chinatown/downtown. It's a cute little space once you get inside. The display case is packed full of a large variety of goods. They have a lot of their pastries frozen "in the back" if you can't eat/serve it within the next day or two. I bought a bunch of eclairs for Christmas dinner. They're pretty large eclairs, colorful and generously filled with cream. I bought a box of tarts for a friend; she said the lemon and key lime tarts were a hit at her dinner table. Price-wise, I find it on the upper end of average. Excellent service. The person serving me was more than happy to answer all my questions about how long each item would last in the fridge. (and, if you're curious, I had an eclair in a container for a few days and it was still fine when I ate it) It was pretty quiet inside. Given the location, I'm not sure how much foot location they get. Free parking out back, but be careful of all the homeless folk milling around. I definitely did not feel very safe walking around from the parking lot in back to the entrace of the bakery on the main street in broad daylight.

They have a large assortment of macaron to choose from and different types of cakes, tarts and…read morepastries as well. I ordered the Ferrero inspired cake for a birthday, it looked absolute amazing but it was a bit too sweet for my liking. The lemon tart had a meringue topping and tasted ok. They macarons were also a bit lacking as well. Overall, I was a bit disappointed. The store itself is nicely decorated, nice pastel colors and lots of beautiful display cases. The service is good as well.

Mikado cake (coffee, chocolate, walnuts) Montelimar cake (nuts, nougat, pistachio)…read morePeach Frangipane (almond cream) I happened to be in the area of this local bakery/sweets shop. Easy to see storefront and streeparking right infront of the store. Staff was friendly but not overly so - she asked if it was my first time in and answered my questions when I didn't know some of the fancy Fench lingo. So many different sweets and treats and everything looked lovely. The space inside was also nice and would be a great place for a date for coffee and a sweet treat. They also had some really nice gift ideas such as jam, macarons, cookie packets, and even halal beef gelatin. The Mikado cake was Delicious. Moist, well balanced, not too sweet, with a nice crunchy walnut element. The Montelimar cake was the best. Not too sweet, creamy, cake was moist. Definitely one of the Best pistachio-based mini cakes I have ever had. The Peach Frangipane was pretty standard in my opinion. Curst was a little dark for my liking, super crumbly and rim was super dry. Centre was the sweet almond-flavored custard but a little dry and not very flavorful for my taste. Overall cakes were some of the best I've ever had, the decor was lovely for dine-in, and the appearance of the desserts/sweets was immaculate.

Excellent pie! Service was excellent!…read moreHighly recommend this spot! My daughter wanted for her birthday a Keylime pie I couldn't find it anywhere went to seven different pastry shops and none were open because it was Monday. Macaroons and goodies was open and I didn't think they'd have a Keylime pie but they did and it was marvelous. Oh, I won't go to any place else, but this place from now on excellent excellent food.

I've been to Fuwa Fuwa in the deep south west of Edmonton, but this is the first time I have been…read moreat this location near Whyte Ave. . The food was delicious and completely unique. These fluffy pancakes will spoil you for pancakes anywhere else. One of our guests requires gluten free food. The fellow here seemed very knowledgeable about GF foods. We were here on Wednesday at around noon but, strangely we were the only customers in the cafe the whole time. Perhaps this location is new. I recommend Fuwa Fuwa for a unique meal.

We stopped by on a Friday night around 7PM and the establishment had enough seating for 3-4 tables…read morethat could seat 4. There were two other parties there. It was our first time trying Japanese soufflé pancakes and I was expecting a super light and airy pancake. Unfortunately, while these pancakes had the height and certainly looked fluffy, they were a bit on the dense side :(

Popped in here for a quick treat in between hockey games…read more We had never been before but I had seen some pictures on Yelp that made me super curious. The staff were attentive and friendly. I inquired if there are other locations and the staff member let us know there is a second location on Whyte Ave but with different owners. Bright and cheerful BUT be wary of screaming/loud kiddos in the back seating area - you see kinda in a cocoon and the sound reverberates like nothing I've heard before. And I don't mind kiddos or noise but this space amplifies it by a million. After waiting about 10 minutes we switched to the front seating area and even though we were only 2-3 tables away from the kids and babies the decibel level was dramatically lower :-) That being said, the back seating area has a really cool vibe and I'd totally sit there again in the future. The menu consisted of soufflé pancakes (starting at $13.95), croffles ($6.99), macarons (2/$8.50), gelatos ($4.95 +), roll cakes ($4.99), and burnt top cheesecakes ($6.99/slice) and soufflé cheesecake ($16.99). All the beverages are served one size only in what would probably be a iced tall at Starbucks ($5.99 and up). We shared the iced strawberry espresso today and while it was unique neither one of us really cared for it. It was a standard iced espresso with a shoe heavy whipped cream on top (almost butter) and a strawberry jam (seeded) on the bottom. We honestly didn't even finish the small drink between the two of us. The soufflé pancakes are made to order and take about 15 minutes to prepare. The blueberry cheese soufflé pancake arrived about 15 minutes after sitting as described. It was like nothing either of us had ever eaten before - the soufflé pancake itself was incredibly fluffy with cheddar cheese melted in between the two pancakes. The same rich whipped cream we had in the espresso was on the side and on top with the perfect assortment of fresh berries. My favourite part? The caramelized and torched lemon slices (and one it's burst tiny mint leaf). Oh. Em. Gee. I feel like I need to go out and buy a kitchen torch just to do this to lemons at home. Oh and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The soufflé itself wasn't sweet but the toppings sure were. I'm glad we ordered one to share because there is no way I could eat one on my own. (I do wish there had been a larger or more than one mint leaf on this dish). Approximately 15 minutes later our tiramisu croffle arrived piping hot. Presentation was gorgeous like everything else. However, both hubs and I were meh on this one. Overly sweet Hershey like syrup with a mountain of the heavy whipped cream (almost butter like). Neither of us could detect anything coffee, liquer, or marscapone cheese like (typical tiramisu flavours). I had been quite curious about croffles in general and my takeaway is that I personally don't prefer my croissants squished down into a waffle but still a really neat idea! We were given plastic utensils and both of us found it exceptionally difficult to cut through the croffle with the flimsy plastic knife. All in all I'm going with 4 stars mostly based on the pancake soufflé. Neither myself or hubs would order a beverage or croffle here again. Next time I think I'd like to try the cheesecake soufflé and a macaron (I'm curious what the filling here will be like). Two thumbs up - always fun to try something new!

I've been hearing about these Japanese pancakes for a while. I remember seeing them when I was in…read moreAsia but never got the chance to try it out. I was excited when I heard a place open up in the city. The aesthetic is very pleasing. I thought these would be heavy but they actually weren't. It makes for a nice light snack/dessert. It is very fluffy as advertised. We came here in the middle of a weekday and it wasn't very busy. We were able to find a table without any issues. The staff is very friendly greeting you upon entry. I ordered the raspberry with caramelized banana. I think I came in with very high expectations as the taste of it was just alright. As I'm sitting here typing I don't recall it being that memorable. The drinks look fun, I tasted a sip of my friend's and it was pretty good. I found the prices a bit much, almost $17. Not sure if I'd come back again just yet.
