My visit to this café was overall great — lovely atmosphere, friendly service, high quality pastry and drinks.
A few improvement suggestions: • It would be nice to have self-serve water available. • There might be too many pastry options, which can make it hard to decide — a smaller, curated selection could help. • My large latte tasted a bit pale; maybe a slightly stronger brew or an extra espresso shot would make it perfect.
Otherwise, I really enjoyed my time here and would definitely come back!

Warning for those with allergies: I would like to start by saying the girl who accidentally served me a non-gluten free cookie was very apologetic about the mistake. However, the manager should have handled the situation with more care. I had asked for a gluten free cookie but was accidentally given a sourdough cookie. The cookies look the same so I took a couple bites before realizing it wasn’t what I had ordered. I asked the staff which cookie I was given and it was confirmed that they gave me the wrong cookie. I explained that I have an allergy and had I been celiac, this could have had detrimental effects on my health. While the girl who served me was very apologetic, the manager seemed to brush off the fact that this could have been a far more serious situation and offered me compensation in the form of another cookie… to be fair, they refunded my cookie upon request. I was also told that the manager is also gluten free and that she was able to stomach the same type of cookie… Allergies affect people to varying degrees. What doesn’t hurt her stomach may very well hurt mine or worse. I did stay to finish my drink with my friends because for me - the effects of gluten do not kick in right away. (I am writing this review several hours later and I am in pain) The girl who served me the wrong cookie checked in on me to see if I was okay, which I appreciated. But this whole situation could have been handled with far more care and concern.

Their Caramel latte is a must try , and the chocolate cookie is super gooey and is made with good quality of chocolate.

I originally gave this a low star rating which I felt was reactionary as well as being unfair. What this place offers is a beautiful decor, yes a bit overpriced and small’ish sized desserts but given the amount of happy customers sharing these delights it made me realize what a breath of fresh air this place really is. It’s an inviting ambience and perfect for a weekend meet up or a quiet weekday coffee. Toronto needs more of this. And I have since purchased the pumpkin scone and it’s delicious as a seasonal treat. Cannot speak to the bread yet but fingers crossed. ☕️🥮

I love the Pain aux raisins, and I’m more than happy to pay $7 for one but please, don’t sell day old pastries at 7 in the morning. Especially when asked if it’s fresh from today’s batch or not. I was told yes, and given one from the display Well it wasn’t, it was at least a day old, all dried up, unlike the previous day when after asking I was given one off the rack from the back and that was fantastic

Excellent variety and presentation but way, way too expensive. And it is so noisy - somehow the acoustics make all conversations loud and intrusive so it is very diffcult to acutally sit and enjoy the $10 brie croissant you have purchased.
Pleasant, congenial, good coffee & tea, tasty croissants. But outrageously expensive compared to other similar establishments. There is nothing about Bomou that justifies their high prices.

Bakeries that sell cold, soggy or dried stale pastries at full price should be ashamed. I understand having leftovers and not wanting to waste - but sell them at a discount and inform Your customers that these are not fresh. I ordered 5 items this Saturday morning and not one item was fresh. As someone who bakes - you can’t fool me. Will never order from here again.
In response to your response, no I do not want my pastries warm, or heated, I want them freshly baked. Sorry, but I don’t buy your response, I bake, and I know what a day old tastes and feels like vs a day or two old.

They have a good selection of pastries and bread. However, guys, the Bow pastries are never there, so do not bother going to get it after 10am on wknds. They know they get sold so quickly around 10am but they don't make enough for ppl coming after that time? I feel like it's just a bait for you to come to the bakery and buy other things. So many trials, so many disappointments, not going back any more.

Didnt even buy anything because the service as soon as walking in was rude and neglectful. $10 for a basque slice is absurd anyways😂 Local patisseries sell them for $6 at most.

We had the chocolate chip cookie Greek yogurt cherry Danish & the bow tie looking pastry. All amazing.
