About TASSO

TASSO is a top bakery in Toronto known for its ultra-light, crispy croissants and delicious pastries like pain au chocolat and kouign amann. Customers praise the buttery goodness of their pastries, with the pain au chocolat being especially memorable and the croissants having a flakiness like a shedding tree in autumn. The kouign amann is addicting with its spiral shape and crisp bottom of caramelized sugar that's not too sweet. The Chausson aux Pommes features the same buttery, flaky puff pastry with a generous filling, though some prefer more pastry to balance the apple. Orders must be placed in advance as items sell out fast, with pick-up available on Saturdays. The quality and taste make it worth the wait, with convenient parking options nearby.
