Review from Richie S.
Lovely little bakery with all types of sweets to choose from. It was the macarons in the window that lured us in and I think they were $1.75 per.
Raspberry, salted caramel, chocolate/orange (the Best), chocolate, lemon aaaaand I'm missing one. We also grabbed a "polish donut". Never heard of them before, so why not? Basically, it was a really thick glazed donut with raspberry filling. With two people sharing it, we did well as it was pretty huge.
An incredible selection of custom cakes to choose from. Cupcakes were being prepared by what appeared to be the largest amount of staff I've seen behind a counter.
Good times.Listed in: Helloooooo love, would you…

We were walking along the Oakville strip when a lady passed us holding white bakery style boxes, i got really excited. After only another minute we approached Black Forest Pastry Shop, i looked in the window and right away noticed their french Macarons. Being from Guelph, macarons can pretty much only be found in Toronto, so i immediately entered the shop to order a few. They were $1.75 each which is reasonable because they are rarely under $2. I asked the girl if they fill them with ganache or buttercream, and unfortunately she told me that they do not bake them in house. I was shocked that a bakery can sell something that someone else has baked. Anyways, i cant fault them too bad, because they were delicious. The shells were a bit too hard, but the raspberry buttercream was tart, they were almost perfect. They sell an assortment of cookies for .65 cents, i tried the macadamia nut cookie, and it was great. We tried a version of a whoopie pie but it was made with brownies instead of cake and filled with a mint frosting. It was innovative and decadent. The last thing we tried was a pecan butter tart, we were on such a roll, but were abruptly stopped after trying this sweet. It was awful, the pastry was too thick, the filling was to gelatinous, and it had no flavour, so sad.
Overall, Black forest is a great bustling bakery, they have a great selection of new and old favourites. -

Black Forest Pastry Shop is a cute little bakery shop in downtown Oakville.
I walked by with no intention to going in but when I saw what they have in the displayed window.. all those cute lookings Pumpkin theme gingerbread cookies, freshly baked pies... they are just like magnets and pulled me right in.
The stores is just full of sweets and the smell of freshly baked goods! All those cute looking cupcakes.. and bite sized cookies.. Yes I could finishe them in a bite just pop them in my mouth. The cookies are soft and chewy and so rich and smell and taste so good.
BTW, they use real cream to make their baked goods... hmmmm... but yummmmListed in: A Day in Oakville!, I'll have the Cake and eat it…
