The yube croissant waaliterallyvthe best Pastry I've ever had!
We loved our wedding cake so much that the week after the wedding we ordered the exact same cake again. Delivery was smooth and everything was just like the pictures online. The team was also very responsive during the reservation/design process. Highly recommend!

We had a nice time drinking coffee and trying their tiny cheesecake, macaroons (caramel & vanilla was our favorite), peanut butter torte, & chocolate brownie. We sat there a little over an hour and felt very relaxed and comfortable. We definitely will be back! Delightful :)

Perfect place for breakfast on a rainy day. We enjoyed the Spinach quiche as well as a Passion Fruit Tart and Crème Brûlée Fig Tart - which were melt in your mouth DELICIOUS!
Staff was super courteous and kind (despite the fact that they were evidently short staffed).

my family and i have been coming here for years and we’ve all noticed the severe decline in quality and customer service. The workers don’t even try to hide the fact that they would rather be anywhere else and we’ve even been straight up ignored when trying to make polite small talk. Idk man it just really left a bad taste in my mouth along with the dry ass cinnamon roll i got. I’ve gotten this before and it had been my go to but i was so disappointed. It was so dry i couldn’t even take more than four bites. Usually there’s a ton of cinnamon sugar inside but i cut it in half and just had to laugh.

Adorable, simple, upscale. Great place to come with a friend or to get some work done. It can get loud so beware if you are a remote worker. Beautiful Parisian vibe

My favorite place to order an entire cake from. They do mousse in between the layers instead of buttercream which makes everything more unique and delish and less of a sugar overload. I love their iced lattes too!
A serene place to share, I love the lighting and the subtlety of its decoration. A good selection of desserts for those with a sweet tooth.

I'm writing this as I'm eating and it is a lovely experience here. Calming music, low conversations, kind servers, everything you could want. I've been to many of their locations but this one remains my favorite. The sit in option is delightful with classy tables and seats. The servers will even wave at you/ say good morning as they pass (unless busy of course). A wonderful experience.

If you're interested in good food and GREAT pastries from a bakery with a quiet coffee shop atmosphere then BitterSweet on Belmont is where you want to be. I always come here when I'm downtown.

The food is good, the coffee is great. Enjoy the pastries! If you are getting lunch to go it may take a while, it will specify as you are checking out how long it will take around 40-45 minutes.

Absolute BEST Cheesecake EVER!!🍓
Bittersweet made our wedding cake for our big day and wow, highly recommend getting your cakes from here! The tasting was such a fun time and we were able to try so many combinations before determining what we wanted for the wedding. Samuel was very kind and helpful throughout this process. The final cake design was beautiful and Bittersweet’s cake might be the best cake I’ve ever had.

Pastries tasted great! Ice coffee tasted fine but didn't taste the syrup I got in it. Really want to try getting a cake from here sometime as they look amazing.

While service was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice, for $55 for 2 breakfast meals and coffee the portion size was disappointing, the taste was bland, would definitely not recommend or come back.
