Delicious chocolate croissants that melt in your mouth! The person who served me was super helpful and kind, made me feel very welcome and relaxed even though it was my first time in the bakery. I highly recommended this bakery and will definitely be back!

Best bread and specialty desserts around. Wanted to add that they have fantastic gelato available now. The staff is very friendly as well.

Cozy shop. Smooth jazz. Got a regular cheese bun on a summer weekend evening with friends. Costed around $8-9. It was yummmm! Not too sweet and not heavy, left me craving for more.

Stopped in for a Japanese cream cheese bun and it was delicious. The customer service was amazing. I’ll definitely be back! Excited to try the gelato next.

The food was so so and not presented well, and kinda overpriced... The cashier was hostile, not recommended

The cream cheese bun is absolutely awful. It's stale and borderline sour. We told the staff it tasted off and they told us that's how it is. Absolutely disappointed.

Jasmine Jin

The matcha bun was really bad, the cream was absolutely stale and the server is impatient. Feels like a tourist trap

Small nice shop. On Sunday, the tables weren't cleared or cleaned, there was a kid just standing over there.

Got the cream cheese bun, just ok, some rice pudding thing - didn't like that much.

They have more french bakery items than Japanese items. Got coffee icecream, that was fine.

Small place with 4 tables or so. Service is poor. Food sub par. Costly too for the fare offered.

Forgot how cute this place is! Got some excellent desserts and drinks. Need to go back again soon to try more and get some of their breads as well

I am assuming the owner is the middle-aged lady who speaks to the different customers. Extremely friendly.... and that's about it. The food is overpriced and bland.

I was visiting from Toronto, and had to pick up a cake for my girlfriend. We walked in during the Christmas parade on Saturday. The only 6 inch cake that looked somewhat appetizing was the black sesame soy. Honestly, when I saw her pulled it from the back of the other cakes, I was a little wary.

The total was $55 dollars. It is steep even compared to Toronto. All the best Asian bakeries in Toronto do not even charge this much for a regular 6'inch cake. The owner needs to reevaluate their pricing and the quality of the food. How can you justify these prices when your ingredients aren’t fresh and with such simple cake designs ?

Yes, the owner is friendly but she lied about the quality of the cake. We were told that black sesame cake was freshly made on that day. However, when I inquired that morning, the associate mentioned on the phone that they made two fresh cakes - a peach and strawberry, not a sesame one. By the time we got home and took a look at the cake, you could tell this cake was probably sitting there for a while. The cream at the top was already yellow. The taste was bland, bland to the point that our asian senior parents would agree.

My friend bought a cake in a cup for $15 dollars. Sadly, the best part about her cake were the strawberries.

Save your money, and go down to Delysses down the street (beside Med Supper Club). The cakes are decadent and also cheaper. The only downside is that they make it in Toronto and then transported up to Ottawa.

Or better yet, just drive to Hunt Club and order it from T&T.

A wonderful little Japanese bakery with some really nice pastries. The Cream Cheese Bun is the big ticket item, but the chocolate version is also amazing and extremely decadent. I would recommend stopping in for a treat any time.
