What a lovely cafe in Thornhill. I love that there is a sunroom/vestibule with seating between the…read moreentrance and interior of the cafe. It's also buzzing with people hanging out and working on a Friday. There's also more seating upstairs and inside if needed. I decided to order a bit of everything cream puff, berry cake slice, croissant, pain au chocolat, apple tart, chocolate tart, 2 biscuits and two tea drinks to try. I think the chai tea drink was a bit weak in flavour and they missed adding milk to my berry and pea flower green tea. They did help separate what needed to be refrigerated vs room temp which was great for transport but *I think* the chocolate tarte did ooze some caramel onto to the box on our 40 min drive. The front staff highlighted their croissant and pain au chocolat when I ask for their recommendations but I have to say their cream puff, chocolate tart and berry cake we tried were our favs. I wish I have gotten more of that cream puff. I saw 1 left of that sticky toffee pudding and should've gotten one to try given I see such rave reviews for it. Next time!

The cake was spongy, and the cream cheese frosting was spread evenly. However, I would have preferred if the frosting was less sweet although this wasn't a deal breaker for me and I would buy this cake again. The coffee is self-served in a corner of the store by the front door, but you pay at the register. There are also two chairs by the front window but the overall space in the bakery is quite small so I wouldn't imagine a lot of customers staying to enjoy their drinks and baked goods there. We also got a latte and they offered to add cinnamon on top which was a nice touch. We also got the ham and cheese croissant which was good, but I wouldn't say that it's the best croissant ever. I would want to try other bakery items and will definitely be returning soon!

Parking is a bit tight and chaotic, but I did notice a sign mentioning additional rear parking on weekends, which is helpful. Before even stepping inside, the patio caught my eye. Definitely a great spot for when the weather warms up. Inside, the space is thoughtfully laid out with a variety of seating options and shelves of packaged goods like coffee and cookies. As you move through the winding line, you pass by their fridge and freezer items (think ready-to-go meals like shepherd's pie and grab-and-go options like chia pudding), followed by freshly baked breads. Honestly, the hot honey pizza focaccia looked incredible! Last was the drink menu and their pastry display. It's the kind of setup where you can't help but look at everything. I went in knowing I wanted the iced banana matcha, and also picked up an almond croissant and a carrot walnut loaf. Service was friendly and welcoming. The iced banana matcha met my expectations based on what I'd heard. It's not the strongest matcha if you're a purist, but it leans more toward a dessert-style drink with really enjoyable flavors. It's definitely on the sweeter side, but even as someone who prefers "not too sweet," I still loved it. The almond croissant was beautifully flaky with a rich, flavorful filling, and I appreciated the generous amount of sliced almonds on top for added texture. The carrot walnut loaf was another standout. It was super moist and well-balanced, not overly sweet even with the icing. Overall, everything felt thoughtfully made and high quality. I just wish it were closer so I could visit more often. They have such an extensive menu, and I'd love to try more next time.

I was walking over to Hana Don and noticed this Lucullus Bakery on the other side of the mall entrance from where I'd be having lunch. I love Lucullus. My first visit was at its Yonge Street location, just south of Finch Avenue West. I recently visited its downtown Markham location and loved it. After lunch, my friends and I parted ways. They went home. I headed to this bakery to check it out. You enter the bakery using the mall entrance. There is seating inside this bakery. It was busy on a Sunday afternoon at around 3 pm. I grabbed a wooden tray and tongs. I looked at what felt like an endless lineup of baked goods. Thank goodness I was full from lunch. I would have bought a ton more if I were hungry! My haul consisted of these items: - Double chocolate croissant - Fried curry beef bao - BBQ pork bao - Curry beef puff - Egg and cucumber sandwich - Cheese dog - Large iced lemon tea The other two Lucullus locations have tea drinks that you grab out of the fridge. This one makes hot and cold teas on the spot. Two male staffers were behind the counter. One took my iced lemon tea and asked how I liked it. I said without sugar. I wanted the large size because I needed a drink to get me home. He put my baked goods in individual bags and sealed them. He then put all goods in a plastic bag. The other male staffer went to make my drink. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and got my receipt texted to me. I waited patiently for my drink. I thanked the man who made it for me. I had this drink when I got in my car. It was perfectly cold. I loved the lemon slices and lemon flavour with the tea. It was excellent! My baked goods last a couple of days. They were delicious. The egg and cucumber sandwich was yummy. Think egg salad, but simplified with mayo and cucumber slices. Sometimes, simple is all you need. The bun was soft and yummy. I loved the curry beef puff. It's so flaky with the best curry puff filling. I've had the chocolate croissant. It's amazing with dark chocolate inside a buttery croissant. The double chocolate croissant is an extension of it. This kicked-up-a-notch version has dark chocolate drizzle and powdered sugar on top. It didn't taste overly sugary with the latter on it. The dark chocolate drizzle was fun to eat. It had hardened such that you could take a piece off and eat it. I love a good cheese dog bun. This one was cheesy and yummy. I went through a phase making them at home. I don't think mine compares to how amazing this one. It had hot dogs and cheese baked a flatbread wannabe, but still fluffy like a bao. I crave another one. The BBQ bao was hefty. It had so much filling in it. There was more BBQ pork goodness than the bao holding it all together. If you love protein, this bao gives you the best bang for your money. Yummy! The biggest surprise was the fried curry beef bao. It had the same amazing filling as the curry beef puff. What I didn't expect was enjoying a hard-boiled egg in it. What?! It was brilliant and so tasty. Parking was a bit crazy. I parked by the shuttered Hudson's Bay store. I"m hoping that it's much better during the weekday. I want more. I need to return soon. (188)

There were pieces of lemon in the talk cup, and 1 sugar was perfectly balanced the black tea and citric acid tastes, and not sweet at all. I would like to try their cakes next time, they look amazing.

They had a lot of treats on display and I was given free biscotti with my coffee which was so yum. Who knew yuzu and biscotti would go so well together? There's two tables so the seating is limited, but I would just grab a drink and take it along the waterfront as nothing beats that view. Such a great new addition!

The matcha cookie was unfortunately quite cold and dense with only a few white chocolate chips. I think it came from the fridge as this was the morning time and it was still defrosting. A customer sitting beside me had the red velvet cookie and she said she really liked it so maybe their other cookies are better. Will totally return for those unbelievable bagels!

We ordered a Fury Road Ice cream sundae, Biscoff Ice Cream, and an Iced Latte with Oat milk. The ice cream and sundae were super delicious, with the perfect amount of sweetness. I've only had Biscoff once before, so this was definitely a unique and fun taste. As for the sundae, it was packed with brownie bits and chocolate sauce, making it rich and creamy.
