Dessert Lady Café

I love their strawberry shortcake! It’s very light and just a hint of sweetness— not too sweet at all which is perfect. I also love the design, very simple and cute. Would have been perfect with nicer handwriting but it’s okay. Ordered cake thru their website. Overall, would recommend! EDIT: Also bought a single slice of the Mango Chocolate cake, it was really good too! Would buy that cake next!

I have a soft spot for Dessert Lady because it was the first bakery I discovered when I moved to Toronto 2015. I’ve bought their cakes regularly and they are always made with care and utmost quality. I mean they survived the pandemic, that says a lot. I am in love with their newest flavor, the Thai tea mousse. There are layers of tea mousse, coconut and chocolate. The coconut just pairs so perfectly with the Thai tea. Highly recommend this flavor. It’s also not too sweet. Perfect balance! If you are looking for an Asian inspired flavored cake, this is it. It’s not only unique in taste, but done very well.

The outside seating area is perfect to have a relaxing breakfast. The don’t have a wifi service though. So go there when you want to enjoy your time and have some quality time with family and friends

This restaurant was pretty hidden but we were pleasantly surprised by their food and service! The coffee was excellent, the place is very clean and fresh, and their avocado toast with salad was very well made. Definitely recommend this hidden gem if you’re in downtown Toronto!Recommended dishesAvocado Toast with Egg

Quaint cafe offering delicious pastries and coffee. Location and ambience makes it feel intimate and cozy. Folks are naturally warm and friendly. 100% recommend when in Yorkville.Food: 5/5

Family gathered from far and wide for a 75th birthday celebration in Toronto last weekend and another bakery at the last minute wasn't able to supply the cake that had been ordered. Dessert Lady stepped up and agreed to do it, and was it a wonderful thing! We got the Chocolate with Vanilla Buttercream and it was 3 layers of the best-ever chocolate cake, tasted like the best possible home-made, very lovely quality chocolate but not heavy. Moist but not gooey even a couple days later, and delivered to our downtown hotel right on time. And it was beautiful! I ordered the 8" and it would have fed 10 or more.

The BEST strawberry shortcake in Toronto. Plus the cafe is tucked away on a peaceful and charming little street away from all the glitzy and loud chaos of the Yorkville area.

strawberry shortcake is soooo good. Love it! Not too sweet and tasty. Will definitely come back to try other cakes as well:

What a find. When my diet is over I will be running back to this place to get my dessert. Also, a strong presence of our LGBTQ2S community was present during my first ever visit here. If I was single and going on dates, I would choose this place for first dates. If you are taken like me and not on a diet, my partner and I would come here everyday!!!! Lol. Ok... I am exaggerating but I really like this place and the dessert...I am craving for more as I am writing this review. Oh...service! I have to mention this as they were EXCEPTIONAL.

Love this quiet gem of a cafe, tucked away in one of the by lanes of Yorkville/ bloor serving delectable pastries and cakes with freshly brewed coffee. They serve fresh orange juice which is a novelty along with tasty sandwiches and salads. Introducing a soup of the day and a few dishes of the day is the added incentive as it’s always different from the set menu. Love the concept as sometimes it’s boring even in your favourite place to have the same menu Totally in love with this place, already been 6 or 7 times in the past month. The service is impeccable and the attitude and atmosphere is super.
