The cakes are very tasty and delicious. Rich in fruity, sugary and creamy flavors. They look pretty and elegant too. Choices are endless. There are a lot of cakes on display.
There are some tables in the shop. You can buy a slice and eat it with tea or coffee. Nice place to hang out with your friend and have a chat. -

The best cakes in Toronto in my opinion and i've hunted for a store that has it all.
They have traditional mousse cakes, but they have some great interesting cakes like the Amadeus (tastes like a ferror rocher), the paradise (with passion fruit cream brule, mousse on a rice crispy crust) and various other favourites. I've tried them all now and only go there for birthday cakes now.
The only problem is everyone expect me to get them an amadeus cake now and its getting expensive ;) I think i need a membership card or something. -

I almost drove pass this place because it was within one of the smallest plazas and some TREES were blocking the Amadeus sign while next to it was a corner gas station which had bigger real estate. I enjoy the decor/presenation here although the on-site seating wasn't made for the most comfortable Dessert and Cappuccino enjoyment but did as required.
Beautiful Individual Cakes($4.50+) and other large Cakes & Pies as well as Croissants and Baked items for sale. Quite a selection it definitely made a tough choice for us, however we did get Amandine(Rum Chocolate Cake) which had it's share of Rum flavour soaked into the Cake as well as within the Chocolate Mousse layer then coated with a Ganache GLAZE. Praline(Hazelnut Filling) had a smooth while Nutty flavour creme inside with tiny crushed Nuts inside to give it texture, then with White Chocolate Glaze and a drizzle of Caramel.
They have a well equiped Kitchen as I took a peak while staff swing in and out. They have Coffees and Teas available for dine-in patrons of roughly 10 maximum capacity. If they had Loungey seats, this would be one of my go-to spots for some afternoon/evening Cake & Tea.
Look at their website Gallery which has pretty accurate photos of their items for sale because the Unbaked Cheesecake was one of the things I have a good photographic memory of. 3.5 *Stars* just because they gave off a sense of dining in was an after-though with the paper plates and plastic forks.Listed in: 3.5 ***Stars***, Desserts - Western, En Français

Amadeus Fine Cakes is a cake/pastry cafe right at the corner of Bathurst and Clarke in Thornhill.
The cake choices here are decent. No you are on a diet cake, no I cannot eat sugar cake, no can I have something light cake... all of them are the one that for sure make you fat, with tons of sugar, tons of chocolate.. and so rich and creamy... But at least they do taste good and you won't regret eating them.
You can see them all nicely displayed in the display case and with the name and what they are made of properly labelled. That is good for me so I don't have to ask what in it!!
The inside of the store is really open and airy.. there are cafeteria style seating and self helped service if you decide to eat in. I do wish they serve the cake on proper plate and give us real forks instead of plastic forks and paper plates to eat on...
They accepts Visa. -

The croissants were crazy flaky (extra butter between layers please :-), though I personally prefer a bit more chocolate in my chocolate ones...I don't know of any places that have croissants as flaky in Boston (we have a chain called Au Bon Pain that does a decent job, but it's a lot heavier and greasier).
We also tried their tiramisu in a chocolate cup, ameretti (sp?) cake, black currant cheesecake, and opera cake.
The tiramisu comes in a cute chocolate cub that's edible...the only negative was there was a bit too much expresso in the lady fingers (a bit too wet). The marscapone cheese tasted great and the chocolate cup was definitely a nice presentation.
The ameretti cake tasted a bit too much like alcohol for our taste buds, but if you're into ameretto flavored cakes, it's a good one...it was extremely moist and the chocolate outside was smooth.
The red currant cheesecake was a surprise...one of our friends wanted something w/ fruit and this seemed interesting with the gooseberry on top. The currant jam on top was a nice balance to the rich cheesecake underneath.
The opera cake was nice and chocolately...my favorite of the four fancy desserts. Nice layering of textures and the pastry wasn't soggy. -

So for my birthday I got to try a cake from Amadeus that my mom got me. It was a Tiramisu cake. First time I tried a Tiramisu where the alcohol inside it started to soak the cake so much that when you cut it through the middle it leaks out a bit. The center of the cake tasted really strong of alcohol, but after the very first bite of the cake the taste of the alcohol goes away. My twelve year old sister who doesn't like alcohol thought it was fine, where I (sometimes called to be an alcoholic) actually thought it was strong. I think the strong alcohol part is what I found the cake to be special from other Tiramisu cakes, I'm assuming it's rum.
The cake was not too sweet, nor does it make you feel really full after one slice. Usually I'm bloated after one slice of cake and wouldn't be interested for another piece either because it's too sweet or I'm too full of it. But for this one, I actually wanted another piece. I was also not dying of thirst after eating it like I would for other cakes. Also, I'm usually frightful of whipped cream, or really thick and creamy types of creams. For this Tiramisu, the cream tastes just right and very smooth. -

The place is nice, clean and tidy... however the quality of the breads, foods, cakes is only average, you can find similar quality at your local Metro (not walmart tho, Amadeus are at least 1 notch above them)... Don't know what the whole hype is about...i'm originally from Edmonton and it's astonishing this store is considered one of the best in Toronto when in Edm I can name at least 3 places that are light years ahead in both quality and price... and Edm is what 1/6 the size of the GTA? geez...
Been a few times already to keep trying their different breads/cakes so I can make an opinion based on some brief experience.
This place is over hyped is all I have to say.. but more power to them and kudos for creating such a good name to themselves..
