The pain au chocolate (chocolate croissants) and butter croissants were super light, buttery and delicious ?.
A recent trip to the Forest Hill area brought us to find this lovely French bakery cafe. Bought some interesting croissants like almond/honey and banana/coconut. They were gone before I took photos. The other two were coconut and then a mixed berry, also very nice. A couple of lovely fruit tarts and some delicious hot chocolate rounded out a very nice visit. Great place to practice your French too!
This bakery is an institution. I always feel on cloud nine after visiting their shop! You can't go wrong with any of their delicacies... It is just amazing.If anything, I was a bit disappointed with the hot chocolate: the beverage barely had cocoa in it, and was tasteless. But again, kudos on all the patisseries.
Unfortunately for us, we arrived just before closing. We grabbed a few (macaroon?) cookies to try later. Everything looked amazing, but we have to come back to mat h flavours to sights. I don't expect to be disappointed.Friendly, patient and helpful. We promise to return.
All I can say is I’d give zero stars if I could. Co owner Sylvie is very rude, a liar, clearly has no customer service experience. Staff are friendly but certainly undertrained. The food really isn’t that great, pastries are VERY dry and omelette sandwiches are so greasy, the amount of butter/oil used will make you feel gross. The only half decent thing they make are lattes. Up until recent events this place has been my go-to for quick coffees however I’ll never spend another dime here and I’ll make sure everyone I know doesn’t either. Avoid this place like the plague.
Friendly service and patient too - the person I encountered took the time to describe the flavors and address my concerns re dietary restrictions. Entremets flavors are very creative and not too sweet. I'm definitely going back!
Great bread!!Really awful service at Eglinton location!!!!They would have sold me way more than pre-ordered/paid, if they had a clue.
I came to this bakery to grab a coffee with a friend and go. Overall, the bakery was ok, but a few things irked me. I was greeted with a “Hi, how are you?” and asked to place my order. I placed my order and received it, but that was when I was faced with staff members who didn’t seem to know the names of the products, what to call the POS device and were generally confused. It took a lot of back and forth to figure out what they were trying to tell me. I was also initially told I would get to decide how much milk I wanted and how much sugar, but then ended up just getting a cup with an unknown amount of milk or sugar. The pastry I ordered, which was a croissant with chocolate and almonds, which sounds very appetizing, was quite dry and seemed a bit stale.I would also add there are no healthy choices here. The ingredients are undisclosed, so beware. It’s a little disappointing that cooking with massive amounts of refined white flour, and white sugar, is considered to be good quality. But this is a general trend in the city, I give extra credit to those businesses that try to buck this awful trend.
Amazing desserts. Sandwiches are too pricey for what you get. Otherwise, wonderful.
