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. They only bake the croissants that are imperfect and flavours can range from pistachio, raspberry, plain, chocolate. 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!

They also have assorted (8 slices) in a box available. Absolutely addictive! All cheesecakes are frozen up for good storage in freezers. 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.

It's a small cozy restaurant, only a couple tables for dine in, but due to the limited parking spaces in the area, it seems more popular for takeout/uber/fantuan orders. We were greeted warmly, and informed that luckily there were a few flavours left, as it was already quite late in the day and most would have been sold out already. We got one of each flavour, as listed: Lemon Pikachu, Pineapple Bulbasaur, Sea Salt Caramel Squirtle. The Pikachu had a good balance of sweet and tart. The Squirtle didn't taste like salted caramel, it tasted like sweetened butter. I didn't get to try the Bulbasaur, so can't speak on the flavour of that. Based on the poster, Bulbasaur wasn't coloured correctly, but it was still cute. Priced higher than other places and reasonably so, as you can tell they really spend time to perfect the cute designs. I just wish they worked on the filling a little bit more to have a product that's not only cute but tastes awesome, too. They also offer Asian dishes like braised beef noodles and pork chop, the aroma smells wonderful and something we will definitely be back to try. Based on the two issues (Squirtle flavour and Bulbasaur colour), I would rate this 3*, but overall experience was pleasant, so increasing to 4*.

The space is bright but on the smaller side with only a few tables for dine-in. The staff helping me explained they recently opened (about a month ago if I remember correctly) and they're still working on printing out signs so I didn't know what flavors each macaron/cake was but he patiently walked me through every single one. What I got: - Kuromi Macaron (Salted Oreo) - Pikachu Macaron (Lemon) - Squirtle Macaron (Salted Caramel) - Bunny cake My Favs: - The bunny cake was super light and not too sweet. I don't remember exactly what flavor it was, perhaps apricot, but a great treat overall. - Lemon pikachu macaron was my favourite of the three as I love citrus flavors. This was super lemony but not too tart. Final thoughts: The macarons not only look amazing but tasted great too! I love a macaron that has a bit of chew to the shell which these do and each one was super flavorful. They are definitely on the pricer side, but the craftsmanship that goes into the designs and the strong flavors make this a 5 star for me. I'll be back to try some of their food menu and more of their desserts!

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.

Their rolls and cakes are excellent, with plenty of cream, not too sweet. The cakes are beautifully glazed and decorated. The sweet potato cake is fluffy and light. The mont blanc has a nice chestnutty flavour, but is a bit too sweet for my liking. At the moment, they are selling Korean dubai chewy cookies, but we'll see how long this fad lasts...

You can't go wrong with any of their premium flavours. Each one of them is tuned to perfection, with an emphasis on Asian flavours. I always feel like a kid in a candy store here. Perhaps it's because of the colourful display from the moment you step inside, or the seemingly endless list of flavours on the wall staring back at you, or maybe it's because the moment you swing open the door, a friendly storeowner readily appears at your service? Hm... what will I have today? Pro tip: as the store owner would tell you, wait a few min for the ice cream sandwich to thaw before biting in. About 5 min is good and enough time to take Yelp pics. The only unfortunate thing for me is that they're downtown and I'm uptown! Regardless, I always make an effort to drop by whenever I can. Their opening hours are not too friendly though... But I guess you can say that adds to their appeal. This little shop could really use more publicity. I believe we have to get more people eating macaron ice cream sandwiches this summer. I highly recommend!!!
