So far the best macarons I've had are at a French patisserie in Buffalo. These are good, but so…read moreclose to being great. My understanding is that the hardest part of making a macaron is the cookie shell, and these are wonderful. The texture and flavor is just right. The lavender did not make me think of soap initially. The violet absolutely did. That's not a strike against them. Those notes are just so popular in soap, it's an automatic association. The same is true of rose, but it's so often used in drinks and foods that it's not as jarring. The problem I had with these macarons is the filling, and it's probably such an easy fix. It's just too sweet and somehow when combined with the floral flavors, I could swear I had the actual mouth feel of soap by the time I'd eaten all three, like a faint burning on my tongue. I'd definitely recommend the rose lychee, and maybe doing a mix of flavors instead of all floral or having just one at a time. Macarons are 50 cents than the other patisserie I tried (Nadege) during my trip, but still competitively priced.

As soon as you enter, you will see all the cute and delicious looking desserts they offer like macarons, cookies, mini donuts, and macaron ice cream sandwiches. The three of us chose the $30 high tea menu for today. I ordered the Sloan heavenly cream tea which was definitely heavenly and creamy. My friends got the peaches and cream and jasmine pink lemonade tea's. Everyone enjoyed their chosen tea. When the savoury and sweet stand came out, we all had to take photos first since the camera eats first ;). All the food that we had were delicious! I think it's the best out of the other high tea places I've been to. We finished off by having the desserts which were disappointing compared to the food. The pink macaron I had was overly sweet and the shell was dense. I also didn't like the mini donut as it was overly sweet. My friends tried the truffles and it didn't seem like they really liked it. Overall, the experience, atmosphere, and food were great! Dessert was not that great. We didn't buy any desserts at the front of the shop so not sure if they would be good or overly sweet like the ones in the high tea menu.

In the box was: White Chocolate Peach Mousse Fruit Tart Coconut Exotic Fruit Pistachio Mousse Raspberry Mousse Log Cake Aesthetically, all the pastries looked amazing! I felt bad cutting them to take a bite! My favourite is the Coconut Exotic Fruit. All the layers tied nicely together and tasted really good! The fruit tart was also good. Im not the biggest fan of peach but it was not bad as well. The Raspberry Mousse Cake was well balanced and not too sweet or tart. Sadly to say the Pistachio Mousse that was shaped as a cute Christmas tree was my least favourite. As this was a gift, I did not visit the location in person or know the price, but I do want to eat other selection of pastries and cakes if I get the chance!

My total for four stunning pastries came to $34.00, but I left feeling that the splurge was well worth it for the quality and complexity of the flavors.

The Strawberry was the standout star, delivering a bright, nostalgic taste that was pure Strawberry Shortcake perfection. I was equally impressed with the richness of the Dark Chocolate Espresso pastry, a deep, satisfying choice. Despite being incredibly busy, the staff was very efficient with keeping the line moving quickly. While I noticed some seating, I was so focused on the sweet goodies that I barely registered the environment. I'm already planning my next trip! A crucial heads-up, however: the pastries I enjoyed all feature a light, airy mousse filling. If that texture or lightness isn't to your taste, you might want to skip

There's a good amount of street parking here but pay attention to the signs as there are areas you can't park in between the spots you can park. I hopped in and the place was packed. I had a look into the display case, asked about some pastries as it was late in the day and they were closing soon. They recommended a pear one as it was always nice since some of the other fruits can be more tart in the winter. I settled on that and a latte. I swear it was around $6-7 which I don't think I can even get a latte for that in Ottawa. They had my pastry wrapped in no time. I was a bit nosy and popped my head into this doorway as most of the seats were taken to see if there was more seating there. It turns out that it's another part of the shop. It serves gelato and I assume it's seasonal. I'll be back to check it out in the summer. By the time I returned, my latte was ready and I was heading out the door. I had a sip of the latte and it was nice. The pastry was also a really good recommendation. I'll return to try some other things in the future.

I'm not sure if you could choose what cupcakes came or if they had prepared boxes to choose from, but mine had 6 pairs of unique cupcakes (see picture for details). The cupcakes were not too sweet, which was nice as I sometimes feel I'm just eating sugar and nothing else (they were still sweet of course....just not SUPER sweet). The cream part seemed to be made of buttercream, and the dough part was also light. I liked the variety of options they had, and the cream part was designed very prettily with a flower motif. I haven't dealt with the customer service or looked at the costs, so I'm not sure how comparable it is to other places (my friends did all that...I just ate it :P) But if you like cupcakes, I would say to try it out.

I decided to get a Ferrero rocher macaron and a vanilla cupcake. I usually get a vanilla macaron as a tester but the Ferrero rocher flavour was interesting to me. The macaron was really good. Unfortunately I didn't get to fully enjoy it, as I was eating it outside in the heat and the chocolate and filling were melting rapidly. Even still, it was delicious. I definitely want to go back to try more flavours. The vanilla cupcake was good but not the best I've ever had. The cake was a little too dense for my liking but it wasn't horrible. I will come back to try the red velvet as that's the second flavour I usually try to judge a place on their cupcakes. Can't wait to come back! Wish they had later hours!

They only sell Italian croissants and macaron shells for the TooGood ToGo program. They croissants are really good if lucky enough to catch this grab on TGTG.

You can taste the difference they are made out of Canada, it's a much flakier, tighter rolled and lighter than the best ones here. The program also sells the broken macaron on shells, great to snack on!

Leaving it overnight in the upper fridge, or leave it for 1 hour at room temperature before tasting it. So smooth, so creamy. Irresistibly delicious. Unquestionably the real deal. Other items include Macaroons (6pk for $12.99, 12pk for $24), Portuguese tarts, and Tiramisu. I only have a medium-sized stomach. So, will come back and try them later on. LOL.

But it's still quite close to the downtown Brampton area. It definitely has an independently run feel to it - almost like Ice Cream Cafe downtown and from the decor. They've got a bit of everything. Cupcakes may be their signature as it's in their logo and they had quite a bit of options. I know some other reviewers expressed some disappointment with these (and macaroons) but I didn't order either. My daughter wanted ice cream and my son wanted a donut. Like I said, they have a bit of everything so I was able to satisfy both of their cravings. The ice cream is Chapman's - so nothing exceptional, but does the job and the price is okay. My son got a jelly-filled donut and I got an apple fritter. I can't speak to the experience of others who felt their items were store-bought, but that wasn't my experience at all with the donuts. They both had a unique, homemade taste to them and much better than Tim's. Perhaps a little more expensive than Tim's, but not much and certainly nowhere near as expensive as some of these 'designer' donut shops are charging. On another note, incidentally today I was at a Canada Day event where cookies were handed out and had been prepared by Occasions. It was a simple sugar cookie, but I can say that they were soft and didn't give the impression of being store bought. I'll certainly come back and it's nice to have their type of selection which can keep everyone in the family happy.

It really pains me to have to give such a low rating…read more I've been wanting to visit this place for awhile and decided it was time this past Saturday. I'm on the hunt for some really good sugar cookies and this was the only bakery that I could find in Brampton that had them. It's a cute little shop in a random rundown plaza. When you walk in, you're overwhelmed by all the different types of treats. I decided to treat myself to a vanilla cupcake and sugar cookie. They had several designs of sugar cookies for sale. I went with the cloud. Also, helllooo I always judge places on their vanilla cupcakes. The packaging was super cute. I didn't even say it was for a bday or anything, so I guess they always package everything with tissue paper. I had a bite of the sugar cookie when I got in my car and unfortunately, I did not enjoy it. It left a lingering, almost artificial taste in your mouth. I know everything is made in house, which made it even more disappointing. I was expecting a fresher homemade taste. When I got home I dug right into the cupcake. Again, sadly not so great. The cupcake did taste store bought. Don't get me wrong, the actual cake part wasn't too bad, but it didn't have the texture and taste I'd hope for. The icing also had that artificial taste. Like I said, it really pains me to write this review as I love supporting local businesses. Also, I know everything is made in house, that's why I was expecting more. I also prefer that they didn't fill the cupcakes with icing. I think it's too much when places do this. Sadly, I won't be returning. If anyone knows where I can get sugar cookies in the peel region, holla!!
