I really dig this bakeshop. The coffee is great and I love the antique-y vibe. The cheese croissants, pain au chocolat, the honey-oatmeal bread and challah are really good and I also like the little flourless chocolate cakes. I placed an order for frozen croissants, cinnamon buns and sausage rolls that I could bake at home and I was given great instructions so I highly recommend doing that. The staff are also really friendly and helpful.

Stopped in for a coffee and grabbed two of the best vanilla cupcakes I've ever had. No exaggeration. I was served by two absolutely lovely gentlemen, which just rounded out an all around great experience. Will be back and would definitely recommend

Been here a few times, solid baked goods. Have tried a few of the sweets, savoury items and loaves, all are fresh, good quality and reasonably priced for the city. Also one of the better Kouign Amanns I’ve had in Toronto (crispy, not too sweet or sticky, and very light/flaky).
The chocolate almond croissant was not to my liking, it kinda tasted as if it was a vegan/gluten-free pastry,,, it tasted off and not like the real thing (even though I think it was a regular pastry). The iced latte was good! Although they asked me how I wanted my latte made and if I wanted my latte made with milk, cream or sugar. I was kind of confused because I thought lattes were made with milk, so I ordered it with milk and a bit of sugar. It turned out good!

Selling gluten-free products that aren't actually gluten-free. If I'd just trusted the signage I would have fed this cake to someone with celiac. I asked for the mini gluten-free cakes and noticed that there was only one set of tongs. I asked if they use the same tongs for everything, including things made with flour, and was told yes, they do. I pointed out that the sign says gluten-free, and was told that it's gluten-friendly, not gluten-free. They use the same tongs and there is no separate prep space for gluten-free to avoid flour.

Everything is deliciously made with love. The only problem is deciding what to get each visit :)

Best challah in the city (be sure to order in advance). Also all the sweets (butter tarts!) and sandwiches are great. The hard part is not wanting one of everything!

This review is about the illegal practice of not displaying accurate prices on their menu board (drip pricing). I was here on Sunday and I ordered an Iced London Fog with Oat Milk. It's important to note that the menu says they can make their drinks iced and then lists the 10 or so drinks they offer, most of which cost $5.25. In addition, alternative milk is $0.75. Going off what the board says, my drink would be $6 plus tax and any tip I offer. The male server I ordered with, charged me the correct amount, however their POSM was acting up. The next server re-entered the order on the POSM, same amount, and again the machine did not work. Then the lady who seemed to be in-charge, rebooted the POSM, re-entered the amount, skipped over the tip and asked me to tap again. I did, however, I realized the amount I paid was $7.57, which was $0.20 more than what I was supposed to pay with a tip in the previous attempts. When I asked for the cost break down, the first two staff could not explain to me exactly why the cost was now different. Then the in-charge lady came back and said it was because I ordered an iced drink. And because "iced drinks are only offered seasonally," she has no space to notify customers that there is an additional cost for an iced drink. First, this is an interesting concept -- charge your customers for ice. Second, this is actually illegal. You cannot charge customers for something that is not explicit to them before hand. It's called drip pricing. The in charge lady asked me twice if I'd like a dollar back -- but made it seem like it was my fault for wanting to have paid the price that I expected to pay. It's not about it being $0.79 more -- it's about not knowing that I'm paying that amount (let alone paying for ice).
All this to say, beware of the service here. I'm not sure what motivated this absurd act -- I truly do not believe there is a different cost to iced drinks because if there were an $0.76 increase for a drink to be made iced, there was definitely enough space to write that on the board (in the same space where it says they can make iced drinks). It did not seem racially motivated, but it's either that, or they are practicing drip pricing, in which case, be EXTRA VIGILANT. The only other explanation is that they made a genuine mistake, which they then tried to cover up with a nonsensical reason, rather than owning up to it. At no point was I acting impatient or upset, so there was no reason not to own up to a mistake.
