Croissant and muffin were great. The chai tea latte was not bad.

Their bread is baked fresh daily, I definitely recommend trying their focaccia bread. I just stumbled upon this bakery but I can't wait to try all their other pastries as well.

The lady working there was super nice and answered all of my questions!Atmosphere was good. Two older ladies sitting with coffee and a book. It was cozy.Everything was clean and orderly.However, the two pastries I got to me where bad (i.e didn't like the taste). To the point I didn't finish either of them. The person I got the pastries to split with also disliked them. Just bland, dry, worse than grocery store pastries.Maybe it was an off day, maybe on a Saturday its left over stock? I don't know but thats what brought the rating down.The bread looked great (though I didn't get any) so maybe that's their specialty?

Service was lovely. The girl working the front is very kind and friendly. We purchased 3 loaves of bread, pastries and sweets ($55). The pastries tasted very stale and off. The bread was hard and a strange texture. We threw everything we purchased out.I wouldn’t recommend, nothing was good sadly and to be honest not even edible. Theres much nicer bakeries locally.

Good variety of snacks , pastries and breads at this local family-owned bakery ! Excellent and friendly service too. The only complaint is there is no music at all , and the fridges make very loud mechanical and humming sounds.

Excellent bakery with friendly and inviting staff. Had tried their fruit cake and several different breads. Everything was fantastic. Definitely recommend ordering the German stollen and specialty cakes during the holiday season as they said they would be bringing it back this year. The Stollen is a recipe straight from Germany that has been passed down the past 150 years. I have been coming here for many years and never have I ever been disappointed!!

Got a delicious and well-made iced espresso-based beverage. No tip prompt (not sure if that's usually the case) which was a nice change, especially because drink wasn't cheap!

One of the best fresh croissants in the city but the samosas I got were dry and definitely not fresh. Even warmed up. Granted it was a Monday. But they should taste their products before selling them. Or sell them at a discount perhaps?!Also the price of a croissant is quite high. $2.85. Each. But it was still warm and buttery and flaky! Yum

Very good bread, and very friendly staff! They offer discounts for day old bread on Sundays and Monday which is great for budgeting. Their mocha brownie is one of my favourites

I wanted to like it, I really did. The food here is overpriced and vastly under delivers. I had a butter tart that may have been the worst I've ever had.

Have stopped by a couple times. Thr first time I got a couple pastries and they were absolutely delicious, the second time I just got a loaf of whute bread which I'm currently enjoying with some peanut butter. It's clearly fresh and tastes fantastic. I will certainly be back much more in the future, as the prices are fair and affordable.

I ordered a birthday cake from them. The cake was light, tasted good, not too sweet, and liked by every one of my guests!(Sorry, no photo the cake disappeared too quickly!)

6.85 for 85 cents of mediocre breadEdit: I cut into the bread and it is clear they are using hydration techniques to inflate volume and cut down on costs in their sandwich bread. The dough was clearly over-proofed, the shaping was half-hearted, the crumb is uneven and overly chewy. There is a core of unmixed flour in the centre of the loaf. I will be returning this, as it is virtually inedible.
