Patisserie D'Or has been on my bookmarks for YEARS and I just stopped by since I was finally in…read morethis area of Oakville! Honestly, my first impressions of the interior weren't great. It looks really tired and dated, in desperate need of a refresh. Interior is more small town general store as opposed to French patisserie. The refrigerated display was covered in condensation so honestly, it wasn't invited and difficult to see the cakes/tarts that were hidden behind the water droplets. I felt as though this did a HUGE disservice to the baker 'cause this definitely prevents people from being able to properly see the products. Adjacent to the display case, were croissants (chocolate, almond, plain) and pain aux raisin. Clearly some items were in demand because there were less of certain items. Plain Croissant was $4 which, based on the size isn't too bad. "Fancier" croissants were closer to the $5 range. I didn't see any fresh bread, but they had frozen bake-at-home ones in the fridge. Not sure if it was because they were sold out. I got the pain aux raisin and it was pretty good! Not super flakey, a bit more moist, but not dry either. Not super buttery. This was in the early afternoon. And the pain aux raisin was DEFINITELY better than the poor example that I had at Gouter (Etobicoke). That was tiny and not very fresh! Overall, Patisserie D'Or could've been better, but if it's in your neighbourhood, it's probably a bonus.

Hi Yelpers! I was on…read moremy way to get some plants and I was super hungry for some French croissant. I found this super small and cute pastry shop. I ordered the chocolate croissant which was super soft and flaky which I loved. There was a good amount of chocolate and almonds in it. The plain croissant itself was also really good. Though my only grudge was how brown it was, almost burnt. I also did try their macaron. I tried the pistachio flavour. The flavour is there but the quality, unsure. It was a frozen pistachio so not freshly made. I would come back for some more croissants.

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 selection inside was almost overwhelming... a sensory overload of vibrant colours, making me want to try absolutely everything!!!!! 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

Just moved into the area and started buying a full sized cake once a week from Bloor West location…read more $40.00 is not an unreasonable amount for a cake that will last a week or feed 6 to 8 people. They have roughly 6 different cakes to choose from, and I tried and enjoyed them all. My favorite was the cookies and cream! Delicious. Suddenly, around the Holidays, the cookies and cream cake was missing from the display case for 2 weeks in a row. No problem. I'll email and order, except no one responded to the email. Perhaps the email went to another location or they were busy over the holidays and never saw it. I decided to just go in and buy whatever they had in the display. I settled on a plain Vanilla cake. The problem was it was most definitely stale! The quickest way to lose a guest is by selling substandard product at full price. A Bad business practice and foolish, because ultimately, I will never go back. Once confidence and trust is gone, there's no way back.

I have been sick of seeing those "Japanese inspired French" bakeries that have fake-y heavy make-up decorations for their storefront and products, totally losing themselves. This place is not like that. Very reserved. I felt that when stepping in the space. I got: # Ryusei: Interesting looks. Hazelnut sponge cake with coffee flavoured ganache, topped with a thin big sheet of black chocolate. I was impressed by the quality of chocolate. Sponge cake had flavor-filled chewiness to it. # Hana: Again the almond sponge cake's texture was not light. But the mousse had real pineapple flavor which was endorsed by finely shredded coconut. # Ren: The sponge was flourless. Texture is dense, really really chocolate forward piece. # Kurumi: To me, this is the best among all cakes. Almond sponge cake was flourless, but nicely moist. Caramel butter cream was not too sweet & nicely bitter. It had generous amount of walnuts on top! # Misaki & other fruits mousse cakes: Design was simple and not as sophisticated, so was the texture. Mousse was not as airly, however, the mousse's taste was very well balanced, hitting the perfect balance of fruits' tangy-ness and sweetness. # Plain croissant: LOVED this. Light and airy, good buttery aroma, when torn I saw the layers and air pockets making a beautiful honeycomb structure. Outer layer is crispy, saltiness is perfect. All reasonably priced, modest, and this croissant! No wonder this place has been loved by the local community!

I truly hate writing bad reviews, especially about a place I genuinely used to love…read more The place is still beautiful, elegant, and the service is still amazing. The staff were kind and welcoming as always, so this review has absolutely nothing to do with them. But... and this is a BIG but... what happened to the pastries? I honestly don't know if there's new ownership, a new pastry chef, or someone decided to "improve" the recipes. Whatever changed... please change it back. The mahalabia had nothing to do with mahalabia. The Arabic ice cream was actually good, so credit where credit is due. The halawet el jibn was unbelievably sweet, but unfortunately sweetness alone doesn't make a great dessert. And the kunafa... it just wasn't the kunafa I remembered. What makes me the saddest isn't even the desserts. It's the memories. This used to be our family's go-to place. Birthdays, family gatherings, random dessert cravings... this was our spot. It was always full of people, laughter, and amazing desserts. Walking in now and seeing it almost empty honestly made me sad because I know how good this place used to be. I really hope this review reaches the owner in the spirit it's intended. I'm not trying to put the business down I actually want to see it succeed again. I would love nothing more than to come back one day, take my first bite, and say, "Yep... they're back!" Until then, I'll just be holding on to the sweet memories... because, sadly, they were sweeter than the desserts this time.

The Honey Cake was my second favorite, although I personally would have preferred it plain without the mango passion cream on top. The Crème Brûlée Croissant was a bit too sweet for my taste, while the Almond Croissant and Pistachio Croissant were good but more simple. The Cheesecake had a nice creamy cheese layer, though the almond cake base was slightly too sweet for me. Overall, it's a great bakery if you enjoy creative pastries and trying different flavours.
