3.5 star Chatters…read moreCafe & Juice Bar is at the corner of Yonge and Davis Dr. It is a small little cafe that serves food and coffee and Juice/Protein Shakes. So they do have sandwiches, pasta and some hot plates if you do desire. The interior quite cozy with dim lighting. We parked ourselves right on the armchairs the moment we stepped into the empty restaurant on a weekday afternoon. Cappuccino ($2.75) and Cafe Mocha ($2.99) both serves in proper glassware.. which I think does enhance the experience... (+0.5 star). The roast of the coffee is the way I like it... bold with a lot of character.. I cannot comment on the Mocha, but seems like my friend really enjoyed that. Tons of magazines for one to read... so while I was sipping my java and daydreaming.. my friend just busy flipping through all the fashion magazines...

But it is a sit-down restaurant, with a rather non traditional menu, including protein shakes. But they cook eggs, make sandwiches, soups and pastas. It's not plain inside like a Daybreak, but far more decorated. Maybe I need to join the gym to really appreciate Chatters...

Last Saturday, I was in my car, parked steps away from Zoup! I had placed a dinner order. I looked across the plaza and noticed Paris Baguette (PB). I had visited COBS Bread a couple of hours earlier. Did I need another bakery visit? Yes! I had some time to kill before picking up my dinner. It was raining. I drove over to PB and parked relatively close to the store. I walked in. I felt like I was in heaven. Carb heaven. Where should I start? I got a tray. There were instructions to grab a small piece of paper and lay it on the tray. I got tongs and went to work. I saw palmiers. My mom loves them. I grabbed one with my tongs and broke off a curved section. It was probably a first for me. I ate the broken part and placed the imperfect palmier on my tray. The broken piece was yummy and was perfection. I finally understood why my mom loves palmiers. I hit the croissant section. I got a pain au chocolat, which is probably my favourite type of croissant. I also got a chocolate croissant. A nice, older woman started chatting with me. She was so sweet. She let me know that she frequents this bakery often and loves it. I asked her what items she hasn't had. It was two items, which floored me. She noticed the chausson aux pommes that I had on my tray and said that it was yummy. I got the following items: - Chausson aux pommes - Chocolate croissant - Pineapple brûlée pastry - Palmier - Pastel de nata - Pain au chocolat - Curry croquette The nice woman let me know that Mia, who was the staffer behind the counter, let her know that this bakery has Korean owners. Really? It made sense seeing mochi donuts. We both hit the checkout counter. Mia got her order and said to grab a seat. She'd bring everything to her. This nice woman said that she was shy of being 90 years old. What?! She looked great! I wouldn't have guessed that I was talking to an 89-year-old woman during my entire time here. I hope that when I am her age, I am savouring pastry as often as my new friend. Mia was great. She put all my pastries in a box. She singled out my savoury curry croquette in a paper bag. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good. I got my receipt, thanked her, grabbed my goodies, wished my new friend a wonderful day, and left. There was a Wild game that night. I had a pastry each period. Three pastries in three hours. They were delicious! I will say that the ones with fresh fruit were the most expensive, just over $6. They were worth it. The chausson aux pommes had the best apple filling. It was flaky and delicious. I absolutely devoured the pineapple brûlée pastry. The pineapple chunks were set in custard and were so naturally sweet. This pastry was superb. The pain au chocolat continues to be my favourite croissant. It was flaky and had the best chocolate in every bite. So good! I had the chocolate croissant and loved it. It was fresh, flaky, and soft. The chocolate drizzle had the right amount of chocolate with the buttery croissant. I was extremely happy with my pastel de nata. The custard had a hint of sweetness. The base of flaky. It could have been torched on top more, but I'd get half a dozen next time. I didn't know what to expect with the curry croquette. It was delicious. It had a crispy exterior, crusted with a mix of white and black sesame seeds. The curry filling was full of good flavour. It had veggies in it. The corn and carrot combination worked nicely. I raved about this place to my friend at work today. There's one at Heartland in Mississauga, which is perfect for us to do a run after work. I had an excellent experience. It was nice meeting a passionate pastry lover while getting her take on what she loves. Everything that I consumed was excellent. I hope to get a drink next time and perhaps sit down to enjoy it. I'll be back. (117)

Pablo Cheese Tart has been on my local desserts list for a while now, and it didn't disappoint! I…read morewanted to try a bit of everything and share with friends, so I picked up a 6 pack of mini cheese tarts (original, crème brûlée, tiramisu, peach), a panda-shaped side cake (impulse buy - it was too cute and $7), and of course, the classic cheese tart. While they are on the pricier side for desserts, I think they're worth it as a indulgent treat to share & enjoy once in a while. Unlike Hong Kong and Portuguese egg tarts, the tart shell is more like a cookie instead of flaky, and the filling is a whipped cream cheese (think cheesecake!) instead of a custard. The tarts aren't overly sweet, and I thought it made the perfect pairing with a cup of tea/coffee. The crème brûlée and tiramisu cheese tarts were the favourites of the speciality flavours. I wish I had the chance to try their matcha cheese tart, though!

I wanted to try a little bit of everything, so I went for their red velvet cookie, pistachio croissant, and cappuccino.

While the red velvet cookie was also tasty, I wish it was slightly chewier, but I loved that there was cream cheese frosting in the middle. This is one of those cafes that while the interior decor looks a bit basic (and there's nothing wrong with that in my books!), I think their pastries stand out and make it worth the visit :)
