I came here to use a Groupon ($30 worth of cupcakes for $15), after reading all the great reviews here (thanks Yelpers!).

The place is really airy and spacious, with some limited but very cute seating areas and beautiful cakes on display.

$30 buys a…More »

Stopped by today after yoga and am pleased to see that business continues to be bustling at this adorable French creperie! I first discovered Crepes a Gogo when they had a booth at a Francophone festival at the Harbourfront Centre, then visited them…More »

Lovely addition to Queen West West. The simple, white decor is gorgeous and the service is excellent. Staff will patiently explain each pastry and offer suggestions. I had the "Marie Antoinette", a sort of mousse covered in multicoloured…More »

This financial district cupcake shop has been open for just about 1 week now. I decided to try it out after reading about it in the news. The owner, Jean Blacklock (a 'prairie girl' from Saskatchewan), is a lawyer by training and in 2009 quit her Bay…More »

It's not fashion, it's... mashion. I've never been here, this review is just for the egg tarts (dan taat). My friend brought me one today and all I can say is this place makes a mean egg tart! The crust is light, crisp and flaky without being too…More »

They've added more toppings, like: mochi (sooo good!), strawberry bobba (kind of like the tapioca in bubble tea but more squishy), and vegan cookie dough.

They also have a loyalty card now. You gets points for every dollar you spend, and I think when…More »

Just came back from brunch here. My friend and I arrived at noon, probably a bad idea in terms of planning... Brunch in the city requires some strategy and it's usually best to try for either early (10-11am) or late (after 1). So we did end up…More »

Decided to try out Granowska's today because I had a craving for perogies and Krak appears to have closed for good:(

It's more of a deli/take-out place than a restaurant, but there are a few tables, both indoor and outdoor, available. There is no…More »

I have been here a couple times, most recently after going to Starbucks across the street and realizing there was zero seating available.

This girly bakery is cute. There isn't much seating, just a few small tables for two and some counter seats. But…More »

This place is pretty cute and the cupcakes are good! But it's a cut-throat niche market, and as far as cupcakes go, I didn't find this place measured up to Bobbette & Belle or even Prairie Girl Bakery. One of the biggest factors is cost. Each cupcake…More »

I took one of the cooking classes here. The classroom/kitchen is upstairs, next to LCBO. It was Thai cooking with Florene Kwok and it was $30 for a 2 hour class. Now, they call it a 'class' but it is more of a demonstration. I.e. you aren't actually…More »
