“I walked in around 12 on Easter Sunday looking for a great cake to bring over my aunts house. I was looking for a place open that late and found a spot right near my house i never knew existed. I am so happy i found this bakery because the cake i purchased was outstanding! I will be coming back again for sure!! I was very impressed by how clean the bakery was and how kind the staff member was who helped me. I will be coming back!“
“At first glance, you would think this shop is just a wholesaler, but to my surprise you can actually buy boxes too!! They have a wide array/variety of sweets and all of them looked heavenyl. The gentleman whowas running the place is extremely professional and helpful. He allowed me to sample 4-5 pieces of the sweet itself. I ended up buying 4 small boxes and 2 big boxes. Toally affordable priced as well! My favorite was definitely the “Mango barfi” which is a milk based sweet. I finally have a place i can go to for all my sweet needs! Especially since it is Ramadan and sweets are necessary for every iftaar.“

“We booked our son’s baptism with Frank’s steaks in RVC and they are affiliated with whistle stop for the occasion cake. I was so blown away by this cake I had to come and make a review. It’s so hard to find a good sheet cake for special occasions. The flavor and texture of the cake was so delicious. We chose a chocolate mouse filling and it exceeded our expectations. The cake was so so delicious and beautifully decorated, which is also hard to come by with these types of cakes. I would definitely use them for future occasion cakes. It was perfect and my guests were asking where the cake was from so they could use in the future. Thank you so much whistle stop. :)“

“We had the best experience ever with this bakery - the cake was included in our venue pricing through this bakery, and I can definitely see why! Working with Alison to schedule and have our tasting, which was just down right fun...(because of COVID we had to take our samples home... and she loaded us up with some extras to share with friends) to showing her our vision for the cake on the day of, and then actually SEEING and EATING it at our wedding was perfect all the way through. They really incorporated everything we asked for, and it was simply delicious!!! We even asked for an extra birthday cupcake for our nephew to have on the day of the wedding, and they made it sooo cute! (wish I could figure out how to add a picture here... It was SO pretty!!!)“

“The food was amazing, I got the Texas Hold ‘em but with grilled chicken and they did an amazing job. They cook the chicken/bacon right in front of your eyes, plus the food tastes incredibly fresh. I recommend getting one of their panini’s, they know what they are doing and most likely what they have on the menu is a really good idea.The place has a huge drink selection on the wall, a few shelves full of chips, and the menu is incredibly easy to read and it actually includes the ingredients which you don’t see anymore nowadays.The staff was super nice and took your order quickly, somehow the (I believe manager) remembered my order (Texas hold ‘em with grilled chicken) in just three visits.Sadly soon I’ll have to leave New York and won’t be able to eat here anytime soon, but I will remember this place.“

“A lovely, sunny and delicious respite from the cares of the world... How wonderful to find a place that serves top notch vegan fare--both sweet and some savory offerings too. Loved the rainbow cookies, Jamaican Patty and the black cake. The layer cakes are spectacular as well. Coffee, tea, chai, cappuccino--just some of the hot drink offerings to go with your treats. The owners are most congenial and welcoming, serving you with utmost care and attention. The bakery is light and airy with several tables to dine at. Located across the street from the Glen Oaks library on Union Turnpike, there is ample street parking as well as the large parking lot located behind the bakery. There is convenient access to public transportation too: the Q36 and Q46 stop steps away. My family and I truly enjoyed our time at Rose Valley bakery and cannot wait to do so again!“

“Some of the best cookies I ever tasted. Me and some work colleagues accidentally walked a mile to the factory instead of the actual cookie store on accident. instead of turning us around the owner came out, gave us a tour of the factory and gave us cookies and a story about how they got started. It was an amazing gesture, I recommend these cookies and they have the best business opportunity if you’re interested in opening a store yourself great people great service great cookies.“

“Food was amazing and the service was even better. The kind woman who served me gave me some samples of the other meats which were so delicious. The baked chicken and pork chop were falling off the bone so tender and flavorful. Tried their homemade passion fruit juice and it tastes amazing! Can’t wait to come back and try other things on the menu!“

“Not a formal restaurant , but a great 'take out' place with authentic English pasties and pies .The owner/chef is english , and makes the food as properly crafted "across the pond" . True to form , they also sell 'biscuits and cakes' made there , also .The pizzas are an added treat , and are priced at less than $2.00/slice currently , and after 9:00 p.m. a slice is just $1.50 ! . Whole pies ? .... go there to find out the price or check the website . Limited parking out front , and across from a 'petrol' station . Antonio's ..... who'd have thought ??“

“One of the best places for cakes and muffins. We were big fan of this place since a long time and glad to come to this new store. The cakes are full of buttercream and just the right amount of sweetness.The ingredients are Halal, so quite a relief for the Muslims to eat the Mousse. Also, appreciate the blend of flavors available.I didn't like the slice of brownie as I found it very dry inside.“
“Had an amazing time there as the owner is so personable and aims to have a “small cafe in Connecticut kind of feel” which I definitely got. She really works to personalize your orders and is willing to try new recipes. I got the chocolate chip and strawberry cheesecake, apple cinnamon muffins, chocolate cupcakes, chocolate mousse, chocolate chip cookies , double chocolate cookies, and bloodies which all tasted incredible! I highly recommend anyone with a special diet whether it be gluten (which she has a separate area of the kitchen for), vegan, kosher, etc. this is your place!“

“The cookies here are to die for! Surprisingly they also sell donut holes. And for the price, variety, and taste they are an absolute must! I got one of each flavor, and each one was better then the next. Like..Tim hortons and dunkin who? Hahaha. For only $15 we got a mini carrot cake, a dozen donut holes, and a large sprinkle cookie. What a deal! The shop is so quaint and they have so much to choose from. You can even get dog treats, edible cake decorations prepacked loaf cakes and cookies.Even though they take credit cards, they have an ATM inside for convenience. So if you're trying to hop on the RVC train and need cash, you can quickly open in.Parking is metered street parking. There is more parking on the one way street around the corner, if you can't find one in the front.“

“Disappointed to find out on Easter Sunday they did not have cookies available when they opened at 9am, they weren’t available till 11am why is that? Instead they offered crookies, the latest trend cookie stuffed in a croissant. It was more croissant tasting than the cookie, taste was confusing, and I really wanted to taste more of the cookie than the buttery croissant. It’s not all that, I was underwhelmed. I had bought 4 to try since I made the trip, I was left with 2. I was so put off ( butter from the croissant was over powering) I threw them out. Odd hybrid. Just stick with your perfected creative cookie creations.“

“Been coming here for a few years and I love this place! The staff is always friendly and their baked good are delicious! I never mind the trip even though it’s a bit far from me because it’s well worth it! Perfect to get something for any occasion or just to stop by for a sweet treat. Highly suggest trying any of their pastries with fresh fruit and cream as the fruit is always fresh and the cream is perfectly sweetened!“

“Kind of a hidden gem. Food is good. Prices are reasonable but if you're looking for something trendy this is not the place. At first glance. I don't think most people would even realize that they serve food it just looks like a small bakery. Don't let that intimidate you sit at one of the tables. Look through the menu and give the food a try.“
“I grew up eating Wall's and so without fail, whenever I'm back home (and it's not that often) I make a stop to get a ridiculous amount of my all time favorite cookies and babka. This place hasn't changed at all in the last few decades I've been there and I'm sure since it opened, and I'm glad it hasn't. Walking in through the parking lot door is like walking through a Time Machine. Memories of being in there as a kid, and still feeling the joy of picking out our cookies makes me so incredibly happy. But, hate to say the red and green leaf cookies are gone - those were my fav but not to worry, all the other household favorites are still there, and still delicious.“

“I loved the Safari theme cake that Sydney's Sweets created for my son's second birthday. We got so many compliments on how great the cake looked and tasted. My mother, who ordered the cake, also said that it was a pleasure working with Jermaine to organize all the details. We will continue to use Sydney's Sweets for all of our special celebrations.“
“Food: I had several items from them this week. 2 cupcakes 1 boozy red velvet and 1 strawberry crunch. Both were delicious but small. The next item was a coconut pineapple donut. The flavor reminded me of my grandmother's family famous coconut pineapple cake. It was delicious! The final item was a walnut brownie, my coworker ate this and said that it was delicious.“

“Some of the softest and chewiest pretzel bites I’ve ever had. I stopped in on a lark after being intrigued by a sign reading “Pretzel Town USA”. As a pretzel fan, I definitely needed to drop in. The owner was so kind and gave us pretzels that were hot and fresh.Long story short, if you like pretzels, drop in. Worth every gram of carbohydrates“

“As far as my husband and I are concerned one of the best, if not the best bakery. Been stopping by for years and never had a complaint. We had apple pie, chocolate babkah, various Danish, cookies. I love the chocolate cigars. Staff is always pleasant and helpful, no matter how busy they are. If it is a holiday, go early or reserve ahead of time.“

“I ordered a cake from Vincent’s Bakery last week for both my Son & Daughter’s Communion and it was absolutely Beautiful as well as delicious. They created this cake exactly the way I wanted it. I decided to go with a Napoleon Cake and if you love Napoleon as much as I do, then order it at Vincent’s Bakery you will not be disappointed.“

“My family and I love this place! It's busy at all times, and for good reason. The coffee is a great price and is so bold and delicious. I usually get the mini apple pastry, but we tried the molten chocolate soufflé this time, and I was pleasantly surprised. I usually find things like that to be too rich, but this was perfectly balanced and the chocolate flavor was so decadent, you could taste the higher-quality ingredients. The seating area is always full of friends and families eating pastries and enjoying life. It's truly such an uplifting experience every time!“

“I've came to blacksmiths many times for coffee and bakery items, but today was my first time having an actual breakfast. The breakfast quesadilla was pretty good and a big portion size in my opinion. I always love getting the maple brown sugar latte! Overall blacksmiths is delicious with friendly staff, but a little pricey in my opinion - which is why I only come here once in a while. Would recommend!“

“A family staple, we go here for every bulk order of Pate & Bread. Service is standard, no complaints. It's not a sit and eat establishment. Foods always been on point. Like most Haitian spots I wish the Pate had more filling, but if you know, you know.“
“Ordered the oatmeal raisin cookies as a Christmas gift for my husband. And they are delicious that homemade taste like mom used to make! Shipped when expected order was just delayed a couple days because of massive USPS delays before the Christmas holiday. They even threw in some nice chocolates that was a nice perk and not expected. Def recommend ordering from them!“
“My all time favorite coffee. The best Vietnamese coffee I've ever had, and I've tried a lot. I drive 25 minutes every week to get some coffee and chicken pate chaud. The coffee is so flavorful with a good kick. I honestly can't get enough of this coffee, it's seriously the best I've ever had. And the chicken pate chaud is so perfect for a simple morning snack. It's on a small street and hidden in a small plaza so make sure not to miss it!“

“Stopped in there tonight for the first time and didn't know they were there for over a year. If you have a sweet tooth that's a spot to go. They got cinnamon buns they got ice cream but no coconut. The customer service was great the cinnamon buns looked delicious and finger-licking good! The staff was very knowledgeable and very friendly. We had a great time and we will return, real talk.“
“My favorite go to store. Village Market always have what im looking for such as exotic ingredients. An awesome variety for those who are either vegan or vegetarian. Everything is always presented nicely, the produce is always fresh, same goes for the deli dept, the florist, as well as the meat department.“

“My friend is an Islanders fan. What's near the arena? If you park a few blocks away, apparently this five-star place, and that just further tempts you to save those dollars for food instead of easier parking. I have never tried this particular cuisine before so this was an easy choice. With a nice small selection that makes it easy to choose, I went for a selection of Haitian Patties and a douce for dessert. So, for $6, I got a meal that filled me plus a dessert munch. I think for the amount you pay to park at UBC, you could buy an entire family dinner here! Now the food.* Patties: They were out of spinach so I had chicken, beef, herring, codfish. The difference in the two fish patties was subtle - I think the codfish is a little "whiter" tasting (in fish terms, less fishy and a little... more like flour?) but I could definitely tell there were two different patties. The chicken and beef were easier to tell apart. All had a unique balance of flavor that made them unmistakably Haitian and a great value. It only took a few minutes to heat up the patties that were made that same day and hand them over, too. So no delay for gameday.* Douce: A unique dessert, it's quite hard and crumbly to bite into, but isn't actually a crunch dessert. It gets a little softer and sticker as you get into it. Something totally outside North American cuisine but totally authentic and again, that unique Haitian flavor to it. I kinda wish I had tried all the flavors of this one too.Atmosphere is just a storefront, no eat-in. Service is very friendly and fast, and you do get a selection of other Haitian and Caribbean foods/drinks, not just the baked goods. Authentic, been here for a long time, and hopefully sticks around... forever. This'll be my go-to every Isles game I'm dragged to from now on!“

“The food here tastes good and feels comforting, the desserts are sweet and authentic, the staff is attentive, and the place itself has a lot of personality and history despite its compact scale. The prices are incredibly affordable. They only accept cash so keep that in mind. I highly recommend this place for a quick bite of popular Chilean dishes.“

“I've been coming here for more than I want to admit and makes me feel old. I'm going to keep this very honest in respect to using common sense/speculation/as well as responding to some of the comments on here. We haven't been there in quite some time...surprised to see the place redecorated. My wife loved it...I understand it. I'm one of those people that walk into a pizzeria and see faded red Formica tables, benches and dated dingy decor as a good thing. I was never bothered by aesthetics as it seems seasoned and perfected like the food im about to indulge in. The old international cafe had a plethora of food, nothing that wow'd you BUT was consistently good even though they had a great variety. The freshly made waffles, variety of gelato and fresh whip cream needs no review. People who complain about noise should just stay home with their mask on. You are talking about an open place restaurant that is a staple of a community for decades. Why in 2024 are people so miserable to see others so happy. Place is jammed back...what do you expect it to sound like? People complaining about kids are the same $hit parents who rather hand their kid a iPad instead of letting them socialize. When we go there we expect it to be busy, loud, kids be kids, great food, great service and pay cash. With new owner ship comes many things and one them was the menu. We were thrown off since we were expecting our usual order. A lot of their items on the menu can be easily replicated at home. When we go out to eat we only order what we don't make for the most part. My wife ordered their Chicken Tenders which was made fresh as they were chicken cutlets cut down. I thought it was OK my wife was not happy bc the crispy bread outside came off the chicken itself. We also got wings and beer battered onion rings. Onion rings were great and wings are wings. We don't deep fry in the house for many reasons...we never ordered anything deep fried at the old spot either. Got their loaded potato skins which my wife enjoyed as well. Reviews about the new whip cream being OFF in taste is correct. Gelato tasted the same to us which was good. Price seemed fair for what we got compared to others places we have gone too. Best of luck to the new owners and staff. I honestly don't think we will be back bc happy wife happy life Our waitress was PHENOMENAL“

“I absolutely love this Tim Hortons, I always end up stopping every Thursday after I get paid to bring home donuts for my family. They love them and so do I. They already taste fresh and are soft and absolutely delicious. The young woman who works there at night, I believe her name is Sadia is amazing, she's such a sweetheart and I always make sure to stop in when she's working. This is the route I take home from work. I have one by my apartment but it absolutely doesn't compare to this one, I rather go out of my way to this location not only for how good it is but also because of the service. I'm never disappointed!!!“

“This was my first visit to Farm Stores. Unfortunately I had just ate breakfast and was only looking for a cup of coffee. Carl was friendly and informative. The store was clean and inviting. The coffee was not too strong yet not weak either. Just right. Looking forward to my next visit, just to be able to sample everything the store has to offer. Support your local business. Grab a freshly baked product. Say hello to Carl for me. Tell him Chef Mo sends his regards.“
