Maybe I've been desensitized by inflation (and shrinkflation), but I was very pleasantly surprised by the prices (lower than expected) and sizes (bigger than expected).
I ate a sandwich sized breakfast pastry with egg, cheese, and bacon, that cost $6 ish. It was one of the most delicious crispy, flakey, light, fantastic pastries I've ever had - so fresh! (and they warmed it exactly the right amount, when I asked for warmed)
We (party of two) sat undisturbed at the window counter for a while and enjoyed the quiet store and the friendly clientele.
Went back the day after and had another delicious experience! Great service and friendly staff.

Had a wonderful experience designing a custom cake for our anniversary. The cake tastes as good as it looks - I highly recommend the chocolate flavour!

Our wedding cakes were fabulous! They were able to create exactly what I wanted for our wedding cakes (we ordered 3) and they were decorate beautifully.
We ordered a 16” vanilla with dulce de leche, a 9” over 12” 2 tier cake, vanilla with strawberry and a smaller gluten free cake. The Dulce de leche cake was our favourite and we couldn't stop eating it! Highly recommend!

Love the bread and the chocolates. However, we have ordered many cakes over the years for celebrations and the last 2 times we have gotten the carrot cake it has not been moist, very dry and not enjoyable. I am now setting out to master my own carrot cake due to my recent disappointment.
