    No name on the store front
    Danica C.

    You will not find the name in the store front, but just follow the line and fresh pastry aroma. The store is very small and only fit 3 customers. It usually opens at 8:30AM from Friday to Sunday and closes when everything sold out. It happened it opened late today due to hydro interruption problem, so I was still able to grab the pastries. It was 40 minutes after the store opened, the person in front of me grabbed the last chausson au pommes. I was able to get the last ham and cheese. Truly the best French pasties in town. It is flaky and crispy outside and very soft and chewy inside. I wish they open for more days and produce more. Love to go back but you have to be there early.

    It's been a long time since I last had their croissants as their preorder sells out very fast each week! I was lucky enough to be able to order last week for pick up on Saturday! Their pick up time frame is between 10:30am to 12:00pm. Unfortunately, I was running behind, but they were nice enough to call me and advised they will be there until 12:30pm which made it possible for me to pick up my order. I really appreciate they went out of their way to call me. I was so happy to pick up my order and they smelled very delicious in my car on my way home! The croissant was buttery and you can see the many layers when you bite into it. The Kouign Amann was extremely delicious also! It's rolled up in many thin layers. Definitely something I'd order again!

    Been looking to give this coffee shop/bakery a try for the longest time but never got around to being available for their limited opening hours. Was finally able to visit on a Sunday morning. As I walked down parliament street looking for the storefront, all I could smell from a block away was buttery goodness. As I got closer, the smell got stronger. This was a great sign. When I finally got to the door, it's now obvious why I smelt this from a block away as their door was pried opened. Shop was small and cozy (more of a order your coffee and pastries for to go, no seats). The shop owner was extremely friendly. Being overwhelmed by the display, I decided to take a shot in the dark and order one of everything as I'm not sure when the stars will line up for me again to drop by this place. Ran home as fast as I could and while doing that, the overwhelming butter smell just leaked through the small holes of the box. All the pastries were flakey and were stimulating my olfactory sense like no other. Words simply cannot describe how delicious these pastries were. Almost felt bad that I didn't order 2x of everything. Will be trying harder to get here in a weekly basis.

    Best croissants and pastries I have ever had! We got one of everything, the croissant, pain au chocolate, cinnamon bun and a kouign amann. The kouign amann was my favorite, so buttery and light, crispy. I can not wait to have another one, I think about it all the time! The line starts early and they sell out quickly.

    I came here as part of Indie Coffee Passport 2013. I am not that familiar with this area and didn't know what to expect. The setup is simple and there is very little seating. They apparently make most of their baked goods in house which is a plus. I ordered a Cappuccino and my friend ordered a latte. In addition we ordered a bostock (I haven't tried this dessert before) The bostock and latte were both decent. Here is the verdict on the cappuccino. Espresso: Mild Crema': Decent Milk: Frothedwell with nice microfoam. Latte Art: Good 3 star for the capp as I prefer a stronger espresso taste.

    Found this awesome place when I searched the best croissant in Toronto. Tried the plain croissant and the coconut croissant. DELICIOUS! The croissants are fresh, crisp, buttery and perfect layers . The shop owner was extremely friendly!

    Love the pastries here. So flakey, buttery, and flavourful. The only thing is, it is pretty oily so those of you that don't really do oil, beware! Americano is strong! They accept credit card. Open Friday, sat, and sun from 8:30am until all the pastries are sold out! No seating. All take out!

    Dat crunch. Dat flake. No words can describe the buttery goodness of a TASSO croissant. I've been meaning to come here for a while but they have limited hours from "8:30am until sold out" on Friday to Sunday. The bakery is on the west side of Parliament just north of Winchester. There's no obvious signage but you may be able to identify it based on the lineup out the door. Inside, it's just a counter. There's no seating available. There's also coffee and some other baked goods available which I didn't try. As someone in line said, "Everyone is here for their weekend crack." After the first bite I can see why.

    Perfection!

    This is now my favourite place in the city for croissant by far! I am NOT an early bird, I like sleeping in embarrassingly late past noon on the weekends. But Tasso is only open 8am-11am (and often sell out before 11)... and so I drag myself out of bed early as hell so I can make it in time to get a big bag of delicious pastry! The croissant is just perfect...crunchy outer layers, super buttery and soft inside. So damn good. They have great lattes as well, I prefer them over Jet Fuel BY FAR. The owners are an amazing husband and wife who start baking at absurd hours and make everything themselves. So glad I discovered Tasso!

    You can see the flaky layers pulling away from each other, giving way and crunching under every bite
    Ryan T.

    You can smell the freshness, taste the experience, and feel the technique with every bite. I have profound respect for the amazing and delicious croissants and pastries Tasso serves up. It must be a labour of love, or perhaps madness, to specialize in such a time consuming and small batch venture. I don't write a lot of reviews these days, but I wanted to put the word out that these are most certainly the best flaky pastries in Cabbagetown, and I'm sure they could compete with the best in the city. --update 9 months later This place got busy. Line ups around the building every day before they open, and most of the best things sold out within 30 mins. I almost regret leaving a review and broadcasting these amazing croissants to the world

    Pain au chocolat and latte

    I have told anyone who would listen about this place. So much so that I probably deserve a commission. The hours they keep is fascinating to me but as long as they can afford to stay open, I fully support it. I've often introduced these incredible croissants to friends by saying that their lives are about to be changed and I've meant it every single time. Hot tip: come early! There will be a line up and it will be worth the wait.

    Great croissant. Crisp and extremely buttery. More buttery than I personally prefer, but hands down an amazing croissant.

    Delightfully flaky! Only caveat, we got there at 10 and bought the last three of four croissants to make sure you get there early!

    What a gem! This bakery is tucked into the southeast corner…read moreof Yonge & College, and walking inside feels like stepping straight into Japan. The pastries and mochi breads are absolutely exquisite! I tried the black sesame mochi bread--light, pillowy, and filled with a delightful little white mochi surprise. The crème brûlée almond tart was incredible too, with its thick, eggy custard and a blueberry-almond center. And the Hitotoki matcha tart? Gorgeous and just perfect. It was my first visit, and I discovered the bakery through their 2nd-anniversary IG post. I bought about $20 worth of treats and got to spin their prize wheel--and I actually won the Grand Prize: a limited-edition gold Nespresso & milk frother kit! I literally jumped for joy. Yet another reason to love this incredible bakery!

    It was okay. Tried three items:…read more Matcha Lava Tart - The staff said this had the strongest matcha flavour among their matcha items. But there was no "lava" at all... just a layer of cream sitting on a thick tart base. You do get some matcha flavour, but definitely not that rich and flowing matcha sauce I saw in those online reels. Matcha Mont Blanc - Too sweet. The green noodle-shaped topping is actually made from a kind of bean paste - not much matcha taste, but had a strong bean flavour instead. And again, it was too sweet to my liking. Taro Tart - This one was good. Taro-flavoured cream on top, with taro paste underneath, then a layer of custard with mochi at the bottom. Had a rich taro flavour. Still a bit sweet, but not as overwhelming as the Mont Blanc. Overall it was not bad, although TBH I haven't really found great matcha desserts in Toronto so far.

My wife always judges a French Cafe by their Butter Croissant ($3.00) and she liked it! She also noticed all the  staff speak French sp it gives it even more legitimacy.  She also ordered a Flat White ($4.50) which was also good. I ordered a Plum Almond Tart ($7.25) because it was the prettiest. It was super delicious so it was definitely a good choice! Service was courteous and friendly. You place your order at the counter and bring it to your table. Someone will come around to clear the dishes when you are done It is a great place to have a nice casual time eating and socializing. They make all their food in-house in the basement. There are products for sale such as coffee beans, fruit syrup, maple syrup, smoked sauces, olive oil, scented soap, wine glassware, etc. I will definitely come back again to try other items. There is free WiFi. The neo-bisto is not wheelchair accessible since there are stairs leading up to the entrance. There are two gender-neutral washrooms. There is free street parking on their one-way south-bound street. Review 2023-017

    Amazing place! I…read morecalled ahead to find out if they had this plum tart I purchased the first time I was there. Yet no one answered the phone. No problem. Hopped on my bike and a half hour later I was there. The friendly staff helped me by answering my question regarding eggs and which items did not have any in the recipes. This place was also super poppin' when I got there. It was earlish in the day around 10:30am and it seemed all the tables were pretty much taken. They are adding a dinner menu which is very exciting. Their pastries are phenomenal!!! Picked up a plum and pistachio tart, a chocolate mousse cake and an apple Danish for my mom. Plus a chocolate caramelized croissant. So much butter, and yet so good. Brought my container, which they happily used. The last time I visited this spot back in 2022, I vowed I would come back and take up space in that beautiful bay window seat. Yet I haven't followed through with that yet. One day. They also changed the name, since I was there last it was called Le Conciliabule Lab. Le Conciliabule means, "speak easy", as their website says. It was used back in the day to describe a place where people would come together and talk about everything and nothing. I can definitely say that happens here. What a beautiful concept, "everything and nothing". Now named Bisou, which means kiss. That's actually really simple and sweet. Since every pastry and any food item or beverage enjoyed here is a kiss for your tastebuds. Love it. Keep going team. You are amazing!
