This place has the best croissants in the city! I've gone to a few bakeries in search of the perfect, flaky butter croissant.
The coffee is not great, the seating is cramped and tiny tables (4 tables stacked against each other on the south side of the establishment). They also have a "bar" stool long table .
It's worth coming for a coffee in the morning on the weekends, just to enjoy the croissants! -

My boyfriend and I went to sit down and enjoy a dessert but it wasn't until after we had ordered everything that she said they were about to close..so we had to eat it outside on a cold day. Not cool.
I got chocolate chip cookies which were okay but more buttery than I'd have liked. He got a raspberry crumble-ish tart that was pretty good. The croissants are supposed to be amazing, but I didn't have the best first experience, so I'll try Thobor's next time. -

I went on a mission to Thobor's and found out the hard way it was closed on Monday and Tuesday so Jules was the back up.
VIBE
Not fancy. It's really cute that the people behind the counter are actually French and have French accents.
I ATE
Pain au chocolat. The croissant was flaky and soft but I wish the chocolate was more gooey inside. I was starving so it sufficed.
Looks like they have a nice selection of yummy desserts inside as well as some small lunch items like baguette sandwiches, quiche and open baguette.
OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK
Jules #1 down. Now to go to the other Jules on Spadina.
A cute addition on the Mount Pleasant strip.Listed in: Sweets and Treats, Mount Plesant

Erm...Jules has just landed itself a conditional pass from Toronto health inspectors Dinesafe program. Not cool!! Now that I check out the Toronto DineSafe website seems like this place doesn't have a good track record.

Review from bold c.

Consider Thobors Boulangerie Patisserie Café instead of Jules
30 Sec Summary
----------------------
1. Croissants are good but not the best
2. Service really needs to improve here
3. Spoken french = better service (hint hint)
4. The french baguette sandwiches are overpriced $8.00
5. Do not hold your breath waiting to get served or pay for your bill - a 2min coffee break will take 20minutes
6. Lots of room inside but the A/C and Heating is at an extreme
7. They seem to be focused on catering vs. customer drop in
8. Cash only
9. No parking
Recommendation - Go up the street to Thobors - pray there is a table and enjoy -

Man...now that I've read the other reviews, I really wish I'd gone to Jules myself! As it was though, poor little me had it delivered. The only way to improve upon breakfast from a French bakery is to have breakfast from a French bakery while wearing pajamas. The boyfriend picked out a ham quiche, a raisin pinwheel, a chocolate and a plain croissant. The quiche was a slice of a bigger pie rather than individually sized but that's fine with me - less buttery pastry allows me to begin to pretend that maybe it's a little healthy! It was tasty, but I actually preferred Thobor's quiche just down the street. The raisin pinwheel however was immensely better. Considering I couldn't force down more than one bite, that's not saying much, but the pinwheel from Jules was very tasty in its own right.
I'm curious to go back and try some of their sweet things, and to see the shop myself!Listed in: Sweets and Treats

This place has the best croissants in town, and believe me, I must have tried all them all. My particular favourite is the custard filled croissant. Who imagined that anything could be this delicious! Bravo.
Their sandwiches and pastries are also fantastic. A great go-to place for your morning commute.
It has a small seating area, with about 3 or 4 tables. It's pretty limited space but I've always managed to get a table. -

Butter Croissant ($1.80)is A-OK! Really buttery and flaky.. hmmm..crumbs everywhere!! :P
Cappuccino ($2.70) made from strong roast and went well with the Croissant.
On a cold winter day, it did get chilly even the sitting area is at the back of the cafe. The tables are small and really tight together.. a really Parisian feel?
Staffs here are super nice and smiley.
Quiche, sandwiches and soup if you want to have a quick lunch, they all look delicious and fattening good! We are talking about French food! If it is healthy.. then they are not French! :P
There are also some sweet and pastries and cookies for people that prefer some sweetness in life!
There are no prices on the menu written on the chalkboard.. there are no prices anywhere?! Wishful thinking.. no prices not equal to free... :) -

Stopped in after going to the gym down the street.
Grabbed a croissant and a baguette to go. The croissant was flaky, buttery and deeeeelicious. The baguette was also really, really good. Probably totally defeated my workout, but ...
I didn't sit in, but I saw a small dining area in the back. They had a variety of salads and quiches (my fave) so I'll have to try these items next time.
Yay I'm a fan... until next time ! -

A very cute little shop on one of my favourite streets.
Settled 2 doors down from Fabulous, Jules is a perfect little french oasis.
I stopped in for treats to take to work on Christmas Eve. Jules was quite hopping at 8 am. You could see a lot of people had made their orders as there were a lot of boxes and bags designated to some holiday celebrating folk. Always a good sign.
After looking over the goods, wanting to try them all, I decided on 4 different bags of cookies. The gingerbread, chocolate shortbread, chocolate and white shortbread, and the madelaines did not last long at work. My office smelled so good, and a lot of "oh wow!" and "ooohhh" were the overall consensus regarding the treats.
I did treat myself and get a cafe au lait (one of my fav caffeinated bevs). Jules wins big huge bonus points with me on this item as it was super hot and took about 6 layers of skin off my mouth...as every hot beverage should do.
Thank you Jules...I will be back...maybe with my special order!
Note - Jules accepts debit. Small seating area in back. Perfect for a little latte between lovers.Listed in: Mid Town

CROISSANT REVIEW:
Decent to passable quality. Solid enough structure (read it doesn't look like a used sock on the floor). Slightly underbaked, more bready than flaky, no distinctive butter taste, not particularly crisp.
I'd like to give it another try fresh out of the oven, tried this one about 11:30 am.
I'll mention that with tax the croissant only cost $1.68 which is an excellent price, none of this well over $2.00 nonsense. -

I dropped by Jules ONLY to try out their croissants so my star rating is just based on how their croissant rates up to the other places I've been :)
The croissant is quite big in size, but it was disappointing to me because it wasn't flaky. It was much more of a bready type of pastry than I'd want in a croissant and although I stopped there early in the morning, it didn't hit me as fresh-from-the-oven. If I'm already in this area, I'd rather hop over a street to Bayview and get one from Rahier. -

The Yonge/Mount Pleasant & Eglinton area has an abundance of yummy patisseries. My first stop was Jules Patisserie. It's a very small place with dim lights, but the smell of their pastries is beyond belief. I chose their Custard filled Croissant and Spinach & Goat Cheese Quiche. I couldn't get over how amazing their Custard croissants tasted; they're out of this world! I brought another one home for my mom, and she loved it. The quiche was next to none and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. The goat cheese wasn't overpowering, and it always tastes great with spinach.

Ate lunch there recently and had a very delicious ham and cheese sandwich on a fresh baguette accompanied by an AMAZING grape tomato and bocconici salad.
Will definitely go back for lunch soon! -

Best croissant in the city. In fact they supply other locations and get rave reviews there as well. I've been there on numerous occasions and it never disappoints. Nice little salad selection, quiches and other pasties too. And the beverages are excellent. Small seating area in cooler months/rainy days is a drawback.

This place is delicious. Their pastries are amazing, my personal favorite are the almond croissant and the sour cherry danish. Jules also does delivery and everyone at my work fell in love with this place. A little known fact is that Jules actually supplies many of the cafes in town.
