Made it mochi rain with dolla, dolla bills.
So I was only going to try a couple since I've heard so much about it and then ended up buying a countless number of them. My favourite was the lychee, chocolate and espresso. I absolutely love the mochi…More »
Just so happened to stumble into this place because it started to rain. I'm enamoured with this place. Cute, welcoming, unique decor that has a homey feel to it. We were first seated, then advised that all the coffee/baked goods were to be ordered…More »

I love chocolate! I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to find a dessert place dedicated to it but finally! Heaven. Chocolate heaven.
So even after a filling (and lacklustre meal) I was happy to find this just down the street from where we were…More »

Came here and got the crepe & coffee deal for $10. It's limited the nutella banana crepe and cappucino/americano. I opted for the cappucino & added ice cream to my crepe for $1. Normally the crepes are $7.97.
Thought both were great. The crepe itself…More »

While there are a number of bakeries in St. Lawrence Market, I settled on Stonemill (located in the lower level) because of the myriad of bread and the chocolate almond croissant seemed to be screaming out my name. Love chocolate croissants and the…More »
I dropped by this place after seeing their review on blogTO. This place is absolutely lovely (see pictures).
I had the hot chocolate with a toasted marshmallow. It was rich and the hot chocolate overpowered the marshmallow so I didn't taste much of…More »
As you can probably tell by the other reviews, the malasadas are THE baked goods you should get here. They're basically like soft, fluffy round donuts (but better) with various filling flavours. I tried the chocolate and coconut (haupia) filling -…More »
Okay...this place has overpriced cookies but they're delicious. They also have free samples, which makes the experience that much better. Yeah, yeah!
So if you're walking along Kalakaua and need a quick (free) snack this is the place to go. I…More »

Yummeh!
I was craving something sweet with my friend while we were walking through the path so he took me here. They have a number of mini puff pastries flavours so while I figured I should only have one (trying to be good) the worker advised that…More »
This place is a little Italian gem in Markham.
It's one of those places that I've driven by many, many times but never took the chance to go in and actually check it out. The interior takes you away into this other world of an Italian mom and pop…More »
Finally stopped here to try their macarons. With its white, sterile-feel interior it's a place where you do not want to have any crumbs left after eating. Service was adequate but not particularly warm.
I tried the salted caramel and chocolate…More »

Came here after half of day of eating so I didn't have much.
Tried the churro with two other Yelpers (bite sized) since they were quite small - roughly the size of a lady finger. Nicely coated with sugar and cinnamon but I found it to be a bit more…More »

*3.5 stars*
This is my go to place when my friends and I are craving crepes/waffles when in Little Italy. Prices are reasonable- I think it was roughly $8 for a waffle and $7 for a crepe and the portions are large. There's a wide selection of…More »
Boston Cream Pie. Of all the things in the menu, save some belly room for this dessert.
After a long day of touring around Boston, we ended it with a trip to Parker Hotel for their Boston Cream Pie. It is where this dessert was first created after…More »
I stopped by here this past weekend with my sisters and got half a dozen for $17. It's on the pricey side but then again it's on Queen Street, can't imagine the real estate being cheap.
Most of the cupcakes were gone so we didn't have too much…More »
I never really noticed this place until I went to Pacific Mall with my friend and he mentioned that this place has the best BBQ pork pastry.
The store itself is outside of Pacific Mall in the strip of stores along Kennedy road. It's unassuming,…More »
Loved this place! It was right by my AirBnb accommodations so it was convenient and oh so sweet (pun intended..'hehehe'...?)!
Anyway, great fine French pastries in an area that desperately lacks nice goodies like this (as per what my host advised).…More »
The cute sign and the fact that it had "cakes" in the name stood out when I drove by so I made it a point to check it out.
Glad I did!
This place has a fun, cute and refreshing interior. There were red velvet cakes on the side to sample which were…More »
This place is going through its soft opening now so there's a number of things they need to work out prior to their Sept. 30/2011 grand opening. They still don't have their espresso machine up and running as the staff is still under training…More »
I ordered a dozen cupcakes so I was able to try a small variety of them.
In general, the icing on all of them were great. Just sweet enough so you don't feel that cavity kick in.
I've had their Cinnamon Horchata (a tad dry), Meyer Lemon Creme (I…More »

This place is much smaller than its new counterpart in Palo Alto. Located in a mall/plaza the PB sign outside makes it stand out. It's self serve and unlike the Palo Alto location, the majority of baked goods are enclosed (just lift the…More »

It's good. It's really good. It's actually awesome.
Alright, I finally made it to Mike's Pastry after coming to Boston a few times. Is it worth the hype and the unorganized line that really just looks like a crowd? Yeah, I'd say so. The cannolis…More »
