    Great place in the mall to get some wonderful bakery goods at a reasonable price. I wish I knew how to actually pronounce all these Nordic names! No one seems to know either... LOL! My constant favs are their: Drommekage (vanilla cake with buttered crispy coconut topping), Greta Garbo cookies (buttery almond cookie with jam), Nøddemazarin (almond paste with chocolate), Kokostop (coconut macaroons & their Mazarins (fruit tarts)! Its not overly sweet, good quality taste & usually always in inventory. I'm always stop in one of their locations whenever I happen to be nearby one of them. (Follow me on Instagram @aida.loves )

    Awesome samples for you to try different pastries, helpful staff, and reasonable prices. Most items are $2.50 each. We picked up some apple danishes and they were really fresh. They always have lots of well stocked items here. Highly recommended!

    Really great pastry, some of the best in this little shop in the mall. Make it a nice break while you are shopping and eat your dessert snack at the provided high top tables right outside.

    Free samples both inside and outside the store. I already have a game plan! 6 Danish Croissants for $12 no tax. I walked in with a purpose and ended up I got 7 for $12! Buy 6 get 1 free. More pastries to fattened me up. Butter Croissants really have a slap of butter inside! I think I enjoyed the raspberry one the best as the tartiness helped to balance out the heaviness of butter. So conveniently located inside Sherway. I would suggest park near Nordstrom so you can get some to go after shopping!

    The new $1 coffee is a nice touch and idea

    Five stars for the gingerbread cookies.. great bread also... but go for the gingerbread person/man/woman. And $1 coffee a smart idea.

    trying out for my first time..

    Great pastries! As a amateur baker myself, I am critical with baked goods. Their Croissants and danish pastries are light and fluffy. I reheated them in toaster oven, they became so crispy. Their products come in a lot bigger size than other similar stores. Therefore, it is good value for money. I forgot my order number when I picked up. There was no fuss and troubles. Staff members are very friendly and efficient.

    A nice addition to this mall. Had I known before hand I would have saved my dessert appetite for this gem. I am a big fan of this place and am partial to their Danish. If you are one the edge try out their crown and you will become a fan. I have yet to try their breads so tried a sample. Hmm not sold yet so will try another time

    As pretty as it looks and as tasty as the items are, it cannot compare to the frustration and confusion from this store. I cannot imagine what it is like when it's actually busy on a Saturday. The Danish Pastry House opened up in Sherway and also Union Station recently. It seems the Downtown store is getting quite a great reaction with it's 4 and 5 stars awarded. This location is bit of an exercise... and we're not talking about getting ready to work off those pastry calories. You need a certain amount patience as their service and store flow is just ... subpar. The store is in the bright new hallway leading to Nordstrom. With it's huge glass windows, it lets the sun shine brightly upon the many dozens of folded butter dough dripped and drenched in chocolate or icing. The store itself it not too big with zero spots for seating inside. You can easily find spots to sit outside though with it's many shared tables with Nordstrom EBar... at least 20 tables to let you indulge in the newly purchased pastries. If the eye candy in the window calls and beckons you... here's the drill. Stick right by the door and dont head towards the cashier to line up. Order from the person that looks like only offering samples ... she actually takes your order WHILE offering samples. So getting to her is a chore cause half the people in the store just wants samples. Once you get her attention, she'll take your order even though you have no idea what the names are cause they're facing out to the hallway and you can't see them. You just point and guess. THEN you wade through the mess of people who are equally confused on how to order and try to get to the cashier with no clear lines to pay. Got it? No? Good... no one else did while I was there. The other frustrating thing, is the lack of care in the staff. There were 5 people behind the counter but only 2 providing service while 1 was helping stack new items and the last 2 were just talking about their personal family matters. Not once did anyone actually cared about people lining up in the wrong lines, people getting frustrated and leaving because they can't get an order, or that they were confused on where to go. I did do this though because the pastries (especially the Flodeboller) made me miss the fun I had when I was Copenhagen. So how did these hold up to the real deal back in Denmark? Actually quite close. Crown pastry - The crown pastry has a custard and creamy marzipan (sweet almond) paste that sits perfectly between the four points of a crown. It has a chunk of milk chocolate that sits inside as well. The marzipan and custard kept it's rich creamy texture and you can taste quite a bit of marzipan which made it quite nice. The bun itself was crisped on the edges which shattered nicely and messily as you ate it. Bring a napkin! I would say I felt the chocolate a little... unnecessary in the whole bit. It didn't add to the depth of it and if anything, just made it overly sweet. 4/5 Chocolate cinnamon snail (Kanel Snegl) - This was definitely close tot he ones I remember in Copenhagen. The dough was flakier and crisp on the outer edges. The swirl of the snail collapsed which was unusual... all the ones in Copenhagen was intact but much lower. I think the bun was filled with more air? Anyhow, the flavour with the cinnamon was very nice... prominent without being overwhelming. I think the addition of the chocolate here was a better fit. I would have liked to have more bun instead of air in the middle but definitely closer to the real deal. The other missing piece was the lack of butter note... I actually didnt taste too much of any butter. 4/5 Flodeboller - This was my afternoon snack with a good coffee in Copenhagen. It is a tall and swirly meringue sitting pretty on top of a buttery shortbread like cookie and then drenched in a chocolate shell. As someone commented to me, it looks like the poop emoji. RIIIGHT. Well normally this 'poop' cookie is just awesome in Copenhagen. This one had the meringue very creamy instead of springy light a freshly made marshmallow and the taste predominantly came from the chocolate shell. The ones we had in Copenhagen had either a wonderful vanilla flavour or their fresh strawberry. 3.5/5 Pricewise, these are not a cheap affair BUT I would say their taste do lend themselves to be above most mall outlets for a snack. Their tastes do remind me closely of the ones in Copenhagen. I would say that the ones in Copenhagen had more softer doughy interiors with more buttery tastes, but for something in Toronto, it's not far off the mark.

    Love the pastries here. It's a quaint little store and they are very pleasant and helpful. They make an amazing coconut cake called Drummekage.

    Do you believe in heaven? Well, here's the good news: it does exist. And it's very, very consistent with the other two heavens I had the luck to experience: the one located in Oakville and the one temporarily located inside Scotiaplaza. The range of items is exactly the same like it is the crumbliness of the crust and the level of sweetness each pastry gives you: never too sweet and overpowering. Just right. The service is also very consistent with the other locations: prompt, cordial and ready to take the time to guide you through their selection. This one also sells coffee (the one on King St. W. doesn't). What can I say on top of what I've already wrote for the other locations? Really, there's nothing to add. The Danish pastry house is my ABSOLUTE to go place when I crave a real, proper pastry. If you are at this mall and haven't had the pleasure to try out this business, here's your chance. And believe me, you'll thank me for it. Because this will become your perpetual sin that heaven is willing to forgive you for. Once again, ECCELLENTE!!!

    True, the selection is not the same nor does it have the variety that Oakville offers but their breads and pastries are just so damn delicious!!

    We were running some errands in the area when we noticed that this location had opened. We needed…read moresome food and caffeine, so popping in was a no brainer. We walked in and I was immediately impressed by how vast and spotless the place was. This is one enormous place. There's a ton of seating in the main area, and if that's not enough, there's a whole other seating area around the corner. Everything looked really tasty but we decided to try a couple of savory pastries, both of which were delicious and fresh. For my drink, I went with the Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew ("Cold brew coffee with vanilla and topped with sweet cream"), which certainly quenched my thirst and need for a pick-me-up. I want to single out the staff, too. Everybody was super friendly and helpful, and the manager even stopped by our table and offered our daughter a complimentary bear-shaped madeleine. Paris Baguette is a very welcome addition to the neighborhood. We'll definitely be returning.

They have deli sandwiches in their fridge and the Harvest Chicken sandwich was delicious. The Mochi donuts are a good atyempt and mimicing their asian counterparts but was way too greasy. The traditional sugared twist was better. They also have full barista services and lots of seating. Great place to pick up something for a dinner party as they have lovely boxes and present well. Staff was very friendly. Prices are steeper than other local bakeries so keep this in mind.

From the very high-quality ingredients, to the good consistency of making each baklava piece, as well as the great freshness of the products, all areas are simply top-notch in the business! Aside from the artisanal baklava, they also have cookies, chocolate, cakes, and macaroons. Simply irresistible. LOL. Take a look at my photos, you will get the idea instantly. At the end of the day, these are all sweet treats that you cannot eat too much at a time. So, it will be such a nice feeling to bring the baklava back and share them with friends, families, and loved ones. Such a beautiful baklava place. An absolutely delightful experience.

They are sell by weights so it can get pricey. I literally had sweets for lunch. So much sugar. Tried 3 different kinds of Kunafa. Cheese one was my favorite. Turkish coffee definitely helps with all the sugar. She made it so well too. What's not to like.

    Very solid 4* rating!…read more Not sure why it took me a decade to check this place out, after a recommendation from an older European lady had recommended this place to me. It's definitely a "hidden" gem, tucked around the corner from Kipling Stn, in a really industrial area. Think a bunch of auto body and other older looking, unkempt buildings with cars parked out in front. There's parking in front of the bakery café and you hafta climb up a flight of stairs to go in. Not really accessible for older or customers with disabilities. When I arrived, the chairs were already on top of the tables. And after checking the hours of operation, they're only opened 'til 5pm, including Saturdays. They sell whole and cakes, pastries, but the slice/piece. Prices aren't posted, but it was just under $10 for 2 pieces that I got. When I arrived, near closing, they had B1G1 free on their tiramisu, so I saw that as a sign. They were delicious and still tasted free, not too sweet! (I took a pic of their price list and it seems very reasonable!) Judging on what they offer and what I've read, they have Austrian/German roots. Lady who helped me could've been friendlier/enthusiastic, but again, it was the end of the day. So I'm not going to hold that against her. I'd definitely check it out again...but it would hafta be during the day/Saturday!
