Lovely place in the neighbourhood. I went on a Sunday afternoon, therefore the variety was smaller but nevertheless impressed by the quality. I had only a danish and a butter croissant, which means I need to go back for more items. So far they delivered on the quality. Bonus points for the lady at the counter. She was very friendly and helpful. I did notice that the place was quiet busy as many tables were occupied. Always a good sign regarding the prices and the quality.
This little bakery has so much going for it. Stopped for hot chocolate and a maple pastry and both were great. However, the desserts they had on display in the cases were even more gorgeous. The place was relatively accessible with decent vegetarian options. The staff were kind and helpful. Definitely recommend a stop.
Very welcoming and friendly service, great looking store, tasty coffee and pastry. I ordered croissants with my Americano. The only half a star if I could deduct is that the croissant was not as layered flaky as I expected from a French pastry shop. The price is great. Highly recommended.
This is not a bakery. Worse Croissant ever. I am French from Paris. I travelled all over the world. I never ate a so disgusting croissant in my entire life. The shape of this awful pastry was approximate and demonstrates that the person who made them do not have an habits. The taste was bitter and greasy. I did not appreciated their smell. I also tried a pain au chocolat. It is not made with Fresh butter and tasty chocolate. My order also included a bread and a pastry with raisins. All finished in my garbage. As a French from France, I feel betrayed that a shop takes avantage of what French do best: bakery and pastry to make money. It is truly a cultural appropriate of French bakery international reputation without the quality. You can cheat on your anglophone customers that know nothing about French boulangerie. But your shop is a genuine shame. This is disgusting.
I had a chance to try this bakery recently. I had the grain bread which was AMAZING! Probably the best I ever had. Also had a few selections of the croissants and they were great too! A must try for anyone that loves pastries in the city! Cheers !
We stopped by for an almond croissant and latte, and it was all high quality and scrumptious. Lovely, warm and welcoming atmosphere. The owner Youmna also works with Val Christoff, who offers baking classes on site when the store is closed. We attended the bread-baking class and could not believe what wonderful baguettes, olive bread and brioche we were able to make at this class. While the bread was rising, Youmna and Val treated us students to delicious refreshments, including fine cheeses, olives and breads, and our choice of hot and cold beverages and French pastries. We love this place, and will be returning for more treats and classes!
Best bread and almond croissants in town. The real French taste that I've desperately been looking for... I heard the owner was from Quebec, anyway he nailed it. I buy the whole-wheat bread and bless the hands of the baker at every bite: so moist, so tasty, and I was told it was all organic. Do you know how hard it is to find real bread in this city? The almond croissant is better than any almond croissant I have ever eaten in France or the world. The croissant itself is not terrible, but the chocolatine pain aux chocolat is very good too. The products are a bit pricey, but not enough to make me walk away. The staff is friendly, clean and very helpful. I'm used to ordering on the phone first and they are very nice on the phone too.
They are supposed to offer the best croissants in town, however I came in search of individual pastries for guests. I was there first thing in the morning and found the pastries in the case to have suffered from being refrigerated too long. In spite of the signage declaring that day-old cakes received a discount, the clerk denied she was boxing up day-old cakes. I was therefore disappointed to get them home and find the ganache was cracking, soggy and covered in condensation. This concoction of three kinds of chocolate was light and creamy, but underwhelming and oversweet, in all fairness. They are said to prepare excellent fruit tarts, however they were "sold out", even though I was the first customer of the day!
A nice bakery in St. Pauls neighbourhood. The shop is large and spacious and they offer a variety of baking goods and sweets from croissants butter, almond, chocolate to different quiches and sandwiches along with regular coffee or if you are in the mood for a latte. Nice and friendly customer service and prices are reasonable. I will visit this place many times over.
Great 1st experience. Will definitely go back.
