I don't really understand the mixed reviews. The croissant pudding was delicious. The pastries are flaky and not terribly sweet like so many patisseries are. Everything is fresh. Bread-wise, cannot get much better than this in Toronto. Very fair price points too.

the pastries look prettier than they taste ! i was really excited to try everything, but i think my expectations were too high because i was honestly underwhelmed with what i got, and most of them just didn’t taste as fresh as i hoped (even though i went first thing in the morning). the prices are quite reasonable though, it’s hard to find aNything at this price now.
the pain suisse had a really good texture — the pastry was much chewier and softer than i expected, but the sticky shell was still crisp. i liked the sweet vanilla-y paste, but it wasn’t life changing.
i was disappointed with the nutella babka; it was way to crispy and tasted a bit burnt. there was a glob of hazelnutty, gooey, rich nutella on the top, but other than that, there was not much chocolatiness in the rest of the babka.
the cookie was also a lot crunchier than i expected, and didn’t really have the chewy/gooey center that i prefer in cookies. the whole thing was crunchy and crumbly, and it wasn’t really soft at all. it had a strong caramel-ly, dulche-ish aroma and nutty chunks throughout, but i just didn’t LOVE it.

Some of Toronto's best pastries and a delicious sourdough bread, prepared with great care, on site. Friendly service, reasonable prices. Thank you!

Pastries are delicious, but I noticed a few small insects flying and clawing at the cardamom bun…

We had the butter croissant and the berry cheese danish. The latter was good. The croissant, you can see it's high quality, but it's still lacking somehow. It's not very buttery, or flaky... Maybe it's a choice, but I think it can be improved. The lattes and service were very good.

Had such great time at Bar Pompette the night before that I decided I would go out of my way to try the bakery. But sadly both the pastry and the coffee were kinda MEH.

This spot is amazing! Loved the croissants! Crunchy, chewy, buttery perfection. Coffee was great! Oat milk available as a non dairy sub. The savory tart with chorizo was sweet and salty and delicious. I will definitely be back!

This place came recommended for their baguettes - though I was not impressed. Way too hard to bite into. The croissants were very yummy - though a bit high on price side. A nice treat, however! Unfortunately, the two times we have been the staff have not been very warm/friendly. Maybe it’s just too early in the morning for them. ;)

Another level this Cardamon Bun..RECOMMENDED It's similar to cinnamon buns but with a more aromatic and citrusy flavour 👏🏼

used to be my favourite bakery. today i went in and there were wasps hanging around on the pastries and feeding off them. it was really an unbecoming scene. when i asked i was told people are so chill about it. she had fans to make the wasps go away but was not using them. i really wanted to buy something cause i love their pastries but i could not convince myself. even asked if she has something to bring from the back she said there’s nothing. how sad. :(
