Parking is a bit tight and chaotic, but I did notice a sign mentioning additional rear parking on weekends, which is helpful. Before even stepping inside, the patio caught my eye. Definitely a great spot for when the weather warms up. Inside, the space is thoughtfully laid out with a variety of seating options and shelves of packaged goods like coffee and cookies. As you move through the winding line, you pass by their fridge and freezer items (think ready-to-go meals like shepherd's pie and grab-and-go options like chia pudding), followed by freshly baked breads. Honestly, the hot honey pizza focaccia looked incredible! Last was the drink menu and their pastry display. It's the kind of setup where you can't help but look at everything. I went in knowing I wanted the iced banana matcha, and also picked up an almond croissant and a carrot walnut loaf. Service was friendly and welcoming. The iced banana matcha met my expectations based on what I'd heard. It's not the strongest matcha if you're a purist, but it leans more toward a dessert-style drink with really enjoyable flavors. It's definitely on the sweeter side, but even as someone who prefers "not too sweet," I still loved it. The almond croissant was beautifully flaky with a rich, flavorful filling, and I appreciated the generous amount of sliced almonds on top for added texture. The carrot walnut loaf was another standout. It was super moist and well-balanced, not overly sweet even with the icing. Overall, everything felt thoughtfully made and high quality. I just wish it were closer so I could visit more often. They have such an extensive menu, and I'd love to try more next time.

The profiteroles were filled with a lot of cream, not just a little bit. I loved it. It was a quality cream filling too, not just some kind of cheap whipped cream. And the fact that the temperature was cool somehow made it more enjoyable. Cool n sweet. Very refreshing. I would have to say my favorite was the Walnut cookie with cream in the middle. The Walnut cookie was slightly dense and chewy which was very satisfying. It also had a bit of a cardamom taste to it. The fact that you were eating a cookie spoke to your inner child and made you happy. The fact that it has cream between two cookies made you feel luxurious and the cardamom spice made you feel like you were an adult with refined tastes LOL. An all around great treat! I definitely recommend the shop and I will likely return.

There are currently 6 different flavours: Lindt Dark Chocolate, Lindt White Chocolate, Red Velvet Lindt White Chocolate, Lindt Milk Chocolate, Salted Caramel, and Nutella. My son tried 3 flavours and absolutely loved the Nutella. My favourites are White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, and Nutella. The quality of the cookies and ingredients are really good! Make sure you eat them fresh or warm them up a little. I ordered 8 medium cookies for only $12, a great price for quality cookies! You can also purchase 12 small for $12 and 5 large for $13.50. My cookies were customized with little red hearts because it is for Valentine's Day. The business is based in North York. Delivery is free in North York, but $5-$10 depending on distance; eg, downtown Toronto would cost $7. An option is to get frozen dough from them and bake it yourself!

Everything is sold by weight ($10/lb flat rate). My box of cookies came out to be a tad more than $15 after tax. There were at least 15 kinds of cookies in there. There were heart shaped cookies and flower shaped cookies and round cookies and Middle Eastern pastries, and cookies filled with jam, and cookies willed with cream, chocolate cookies, nutty cookies, etc. A lot of them weren't too sweet, which isn't a bad thing. I don't have a huge sweet tooth. A few reactions I got: 1) The cookie was like a solid balloon (looks hard on the outside, but totally airy and pillowy on the inside). 2) The cookie was super dry. 3) The cookie doesn't taste like anything. 4) Where did you get those cookies because I want to buy them. So yeah. All over the charts with these cookies. I'll probably be back to get some because they aren't expensive, and my dad seems to quite enjoy them.

Grapefruit Black Tea (4/5) was refreshing. A perfect drink to cool you down in the summer. It had citrus notes that were not too overpowering. Matcha Strawberry Latte (4/5) was enjoyable. You can really taste the matcha. It was complemented well by the sweetness and the strawberries. Iced Coffee (5/5) was great. Their coffee had a bold finish with a nutty note. We did find the grapefruit and the strawberry syrups/purees were too sweet so I suggest to ask the staff for a bit less if you're not a big fan of sweet drinks.

We ordered the small box, which came with 12 pieces, 2 flavors. We ordered strawberry and Belgian milk chocolate. It came about 45 minutes later and it was still warm and delicious. The strawberry was a little sour, it didn't have a natural strawberry taste but whatever it was, it was good and not too sweet. The Belgian milk chocolate was really good, I ate almost all of them myself. Really good, not too oily, and perfect bite size pieces.

I think service was all right, but I'm happy that a lot of their Bakery items are actually made in house which means it is mostly fresh. I got the ice latte and a couple pastry items. My personal favorite was the almond croissant as for the latte. I think it was quite smooth, i had pay for simple syrup as i like my latte with a bit of sugar, which I thought it was usually free (thats on me, I was just too focused on decor and didn't notice until I got home) The only pain is they don't have parking so it's not the most convenient to get there unless I walk over. Still cute store tho!

Food wise, the pistachio croissant was well balanced and flakey! The pistachio cream inside wasn't overwhelming and it was just the perfect amount of sweetness. Highly recommend this cafe for a quality cup of coffee and a sweet treat.
