The pastries seem fantastic, but some of them are not fresh. We ordered 5 different items, but two of them Mocha and Napoleon was stale. Even the cream was sour. I removed two stars for them. I am not sure whether it's a one-time incident or not. But this is my observation.
dropped by whilst on a walk, and I am so glad to have done so. I tried their donuts, the mango and raspberry, and was pleasantly satisfied. the donuts were not overly sweet, the filling was delicious, and you can taste the fruits as opposed to artificial flavours. The dough is exquisite. The bakery was full of many other delicious looking treats, which I was unfortunate to not try but will come back for more!
The shop is super cute and the prices are excellent. But, you get what you pay for. The challah bread was spongy and stale, the meringue on the lemon pie was made with granulated sugar and the pie crust was soggy. Same goes with the pecan pie. Everything lacked flavour and the consistency were. We also tried a donut, meringue and cream puffs. We took a bit, spat them out and tossed them in the garbage.
I wish there was 10 stars because this place is a gem!! Hand made ... Everything is delectable!! even the cream is hand made by the owner who I assume is Vlad : Both products were very well packaged and as you can see it survived well on a trip on the bus! Thank you again : follow up .. I couldn't take it and ATE THEM BOTH!! there was my dinner lol
Super inviting and friendly staff, very delicious pastries. I bought Doboshsponge cake with chocolate mousse and caramel and a Tiramisu slice and a couple "mini" doughnutsthey are huge! I am going to come back for the cabbage rolls and soup as well.
Tried the Bavarian cream doughnuts and it reminds me a lot of the polish paczki. I like that It's not too sweet, soft and generous filling of cream. Comfort food! I went back to get more other flavours, they were also good.
Delicious pastries and very helpful staff. We’ve tried everything from the sugar twist, chocolate raspberry cookies, meringue, tarts, cakes and breads. Everything has been delicious and super affordable. It has that handmade touch, so everything isn’t super perfect looking but tastes so good. Highly recommend for a sweet treat on the go. We also tried the chicken, took it home and reheated ourselves as we were walking, it was well flavoured and filling. The potato pancakes are also delicious, especially reheated in an air fryer.
I went in a bit a few pastries. They were OK, but there are certainly far better bakeries within walking distance of here. The kid working the counter was very sweet, however the guy who came out yelling was not. I had asked for a single baklava, as the price is listed as $4.25 each. The guy yelled at me that they came in packs of two. Perhaps he should list the price for two in that case Considering how mediocre everything I bought was, I am glad I decided to pass on those. Everything was packaged well, and if you are in a pinch I supposed this place will do. However, I would consider searching for other bakeries, as every other place I've eaten near Vlad's is significantly better.
For the first time I went there I got a donut with my friend. It was decent but not great. When I went back to try a different pastry I took a photo of their selection outside their business for my friend to choose something I saw they had photos on their google business page so I thought it was fine to take photos and when I went in the store the owner started having a tantrum. I tried to explain why I took the photo and that I didn’t know he had that rule but he didn’t listen and started yelling and throwing more of a tantrum. The way he spoke to me was honestly disgusting and I suggest he seeks anger management.
So disappointing! All the pastries look amazing visually however, didn’t taste how it looked. We got the apple crumble cheesecake and it was super dry, tasteless, stale and just not appetizing at all. Such a let down! Looked great, but lacked taste in every way, shape and form.
