Aster's Refined Cakes

I Would like to try the mango one. But this is out of hand on the price. We tried two different strawberry desserts. It’s all that were left. We knew that obviously they weren’t the best one. But over all overpriced desserts, not memorable. Worst part- no cutlery?!!

Absolutely the best bakery in Toronto! 🎂 Their cakes are true works of art — beautifully crafted, unique, and incredibly delicious. Every time I need something special for a celebration, they exceed expectations with both taste and presentation. I adore this place and always look forward to coming back. Highly recommend! 💖🍰

best pastries! 🤤

Finally tried the viral fruit cakes from LA at Asters. They are under-stably overpriced as I’m sure they take time to make. Payed $48 for 4 small cakes - 2 fruit and 2 regular (mango, raspberry, pistachio and chocolate/cherry). Enjoyed every single one! Thought I would love the mango the most but the raspberry one caught me by surprise. There were possibly some coconut on the mango one which I thought didn’t pair. The pistachio one is definitely a must. Recommended to sit out for 20 minutes but I loved it eating it frozen!

Exceptionally delish. I'm attached. Keep coming back. I'm on a healthy lifestyle side and trying to cut on sugar intake. All goods I tasted from this place are not super sweet, just enough to satisfy sugar craving and aesthetics. Not cheap, but it worth it 💫.

They sell macarons, realistic looking fruit desserts and beverages. The macarons were on the chewy side, which I was not expecting. I am more familiar with the crunchy macarons. My husband said he prefers it chewy since it makes less of a mess than the crunchy ones. I did find their macarons a bit sweet as well and their price was close to 4 dollars per macaron. The only comparison I had are the ones at Fortinos which are closer to 3 dollars. While, those are crunchy, cheaper and less expensive, the flavor are not as prominent as the ones I had here for similar flavors. I also did not enjoyed that their macarons were really cold. I tried two of the realistic fruit desserts. They were expensive so could not buy multiple. The range is from 9.95 to 11.95. I got the mango and the rose. Now the pink desserts had no information listed anywhere for what the flavors were or the price so I had to ask multiple times because I kept forgetting what was in it. Although I got a basic idea if what was in the desserts after trying it, they should have a full description listed so you truly know what you are getting. The rose was a weird combination or flavors in my opinion and my least favorite of the two. The layers, from what I could tell, had mouse, then some kind of cream, raspberry jam, and a sponge cake. I did not like the jam. Their desserts are also not sweet at all. More suitable for a diabetic. The mango one was more preferable. However, it had frozen mango pieces. Not sure why they thought anyone wants to eat frozen vs fresh mangoes. It also had some kind of wafer at the bottom and a coconut layer on top. The coconut threw me off, while I do like coconut, it seems a bit odd to include it in the mango. Also no mention that it was in there, which is not ideal if someone dislikes coconut or is allergic. I was a bit disappointed overall. I would like to try the other desserts to see if there would be something I would enjoy better. I did see they had different types on their website, but it seems like false advertising to not have those anywhere in store.

love their dessers sooooo much!!!! best macaroons i've had in GTA!

I tried their matcha, and it was the worst I’ve ever had. It tasted like plain powder with no balance or flavor. Nearly $8 for this drink is definitely not worth it—there are plenty of much better matcha options in Toronto for a lower price.

Recently I had the pleasure of trying the Pistachio Paska, and I have to say, it was absolutely amazing!
The delicate, rich flavor of the pistachio combined with the soft, fluffy texture of the paska made for a delightful treat.

The staff was friendly and attentive.

Love the coffee and the desserts but the service is very disappointing. The barista is very unfriendly everytime we have come here and makes ordering which should be simple so difficult. Extremely disappointing.
