The coffee was terrible but the blueberry pastry was good. I’d like to try some of their croissants next time. They looked good but I’m not sure if they make their own.

Absolutely delicious, a must try! A nice variety and friendly staff 😃. I was there yesterday with my daughter and her cousin and we tried the viral fruit pastries. We tried the apple, peach, orange, the mushroom(which I think it was raspberry), ferrero rocher, and my fav mango! It's a little pricey but between us 3, they were devoured in about 15 mins. We will be back to try other flavours and their croissants.

Delicious!!! Came across this bakery from TikTok and of course had to come and check it out. Was happy that it was not in crazy downtown.
The desserts were pricey but tasted amazing and delicious. Must try the turmeric sourdough bread while you are there.
The owner, Mario, was friendly and nice.
Had to go back for the 2nd time to try the croissants!
1st visit we had the mushroom and mango cakes.
2nd visit we had the red apple, Ferrero rocher, pistachio croissants, and turmeric sourdough bread.

Solid place to go if you have a sweet tooth. Their croissants are packed with flavour and so if their drinks.

One of the best dessert spots in gta also very affordable while looking like 100$ french pastries.

Tried one slice of mushroom pizza and one slice of Margherita pizza, a Kinder croissant, an Americano, and an oat milk latte — and honestly, everything was a letdown.
• The pizza slices were hard, dry, and tasteless — not even close to fresh.
• The croissant was soggy and lacked flavor.
• The oat milk latte was cold, and the cold Americano was completely bland.

We paid $40 for just this, and it felt wildly overpriced for the poor quality we received. The place might look upscale, but the food and drinks don’t live up to it at all.

Definitely not worth the money or the visit. Won’t be going back.

Had visited earlier in the year and absolutely loved the cappuccino and pastry I had for breakfast. Reminded me of being in Italy. Went back for the same experience and while the croissant was very good, I did not enjoy my cappuccino this time around. I’ll probably give them another try but only if I’m in the area.

Absolutely loved this spot! Great location, cute little patio, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The pizza was delicious, and their iced lattes hit the spot on a 30 degree day. I will definitely be back next time I’m in Toronto.

Food was incredible and by far the best cafe creama I’ve ever had. New favourite spot! Chef Marco is the best! The pizza was a perfect mix of soft and crunchy. The Oreo croissant was spectacular as well as the lotus cookie one! 10/10!

I guess there’s a first time for everything—this is my first time leaving a negative review on Google.

There’s no denying the food at Panettorino is tasty, but it's also quite expensive. Two coffees and two pastries (plus tip) came to around $28. While some might say “you get what you pay for,” there are other cafés along Lakeshore offering similar or better quality at more reasonable price --- and with more soul.

The real reason for my negative review, however, is the lack of access to basic bathroom facilities. Panettorino has a small indoor seating area and a fairly spacious front patio, so I was surprised to learn that there were no public washrooms available—especially given that they serve prepared food. My partner simply wanted to wash her hands before eating. When she asked to use the restroom, the server informed her that they didn’t offer public bathrooms and suggested she go next door to a hamburger restaurant instead. Assuming there was some kind of partnership or understanding between the two businesses, she followed the suggestion. But upon entering the restaurant and explaining that she was a customer of Panettorino, she was turned away and told the facilities were for paying customers only. Needless to say, it was an awkward and uncomfortable experience. That moment soured what we had hoped would have been a pleasant Saturday morning.

Pizza is amazing. Came here on a whim when I was in the area. I live far from it but I’ll definitely go out of my way to pay another visit just for their pizza. They also have a cozy patio outside to enjoy the sun.

Grazie Marco, the gelato is outstanding. We tried the gelato lemone, sicilian canolo and the chocolate. Will definitely be returning to try the rest of your baked goods.
