    Guava bun and cardamom knot

    Sheesh, this place is incredible! Delicious pastries and the latte was frothy perfection. Need to come back for the bread. Kind employees and very peaceful ambiance.

    Peach Tart

    Literally obsessed with this little white bakery. It's going to be the death of me lol. I've had both the cinnamon roll and the peach tart and both were equally amazing. Like, literally drooling. If you don't see a pastry that you're looking for in the case just simply ask if they have it, if they'll be baking it, or when they will have what you're looking for. Anastasia is super nice. Cute inside too. Very aesthetic. Wooden tables. Feels like you're in another country or city.

    Anastasia's is definitely the best bakery that I've been to. It's always very busy, but that speaks to the quality of the bread and baked goods. They're very efficient with taking care of each customer in a timely manner. There are a good amount of tables available, but it does get busy so come early! All of the baked goods that I've tried have been top tier. I especially love the cardamon knot and chocolate chip cookies. It's a nice place to come to relax, get a delicious treat, a coffee or tea drink and a loaf of bread to take home (and probably a couple other treats as well).

    I stopped in today right before closing. It was surprisingly quiet however I saw the people lined up outside before open and how busy they were throughout the day. I purchased a loaf of rye bread, a pumpkin cookie, and a chocolate chip walnut cookie. Everything was absolutely delicious. I used the rye to make 'Rachel's' and it was absolutely the perfect bread for it! Very flavorful but not over powering. The cookies were absolutely scrumptious and because you can see the whole oats in them you don't feel as bad having them! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciated that they conversed with me and didn't shoo me out because they were nearing close. I'll definitely be back for some more goodies!

    They have a 4.9 rating before this review so they probably don't need another five star review but I'm going to give it to them anyway. We were driving back to WNY from a week in DC and my local daughter asked if we wanted anything. We had never had anything from here before. We got a sourdough bread, an almond croissant and a pistachio chocolate croissant. Everything was delicious. I also like a competitor's (Miller's Thumb) sourdough so someday I may need to try them side-by-side. Will definitely patronize them again, especially if our daughter offers to pick it up for us.

    I saw a post about this new bakery, so I definitely wanted to give it a try. My friend and I arrived around 11am on a Saturday. When we arrived the line was rather long, and the display case was a bit bare, but, that did not stop me from trying what was available. I had a few pastries, and one of their seasonal coffees, pistachio rose latte. The presentation of the coffee was definitely picture worthy. The baked goods were different from anything I've tried. They are not as sweet as traditional pastries but they are flavorful. I had a shortbread cookie that was stuffed with farmers cheese. The saltiness of the cheese really complimented the cookie! They do not have a lot of tables, that being said, I don't reccommend sticking around and making it an afternoon. Although they do have a few chairs, and a very small seating area I could see by the expressions on the workers faces, that they would have preferred we grab our goodies and leave, instead of sticking around. I will definitely have to get here earlier to see the larger variety they offer. Pro tip: if you are looking to try their breads get there when they open, the bread is the first item to sell out. Also, if they happen to not have the item you are looking for try again the next day! Do not complain to the staff or owner, they are a small family owned bakery not a wholesale food store.

    What a great hidden little gem in North Tonawanda located in a small plaza off the beaten path. I grew up in NT and had no idea this plaza even existed. I was quite delighted when I walked in and saw all the different kind of pastries and baked goods that they offer. Not just muffins, cookies, donuts, etc that I've seen at most other bakeries in the area. It definitely reminds me of European bakeries with cardamom knots, financiers and keks. The staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered a jalapeno cheese roll, which was made like a cinnamon roll and a ginger molasses scone. The jalapeno roll was not spicy to me and that was a little disappointing, but it's the fancy you play with hot peppers... you never do know what heat level they will be. It was still quite flavorful and fresh with the dominant flavors to me being onion and cheese. The ginger molasses scone was a decent size and had nice, big pieces of dried ginger in it. I also got a vanilla anise latte... It was like Christmas in a cup and just the perfect amount of sweet! Most times lattes are far too sweet for me if I don't order them "half sweet", so this was very pleasing. I will definitely be back and hope to try at least one if everything the offer in due time... Can't squeeze it all in on one trip! Haha

    Welcome to your new favorite bakery! The bakers are welcoming and the simple interior is calming but I love that you can watch them at work using that incredible oven. The cardamom bun tasted like a Christmas dream, perfectly spiced, moist and tender. The brownie was the best I've ever had with a real cocoa flavor and tender crumb. The iced mocha latte was not overly sweet like most and I was thrilled they could make it decaf! The hot decaf mocha latte was beautifully topped with latte art. Thank you for all your hard work and creativity that makes such a delightful experience for us!

    Front door on opening day!

    Anastasia's artisan bread is amazing. We went on opening day and got a loaf of Rye Bread. It's such a deep and wonderful flavor. I've also had many of her other products at other times at local farmers markets and vendors- the mountain cookie is my favorite. I love her dedication to her product, it shows through the end result. I can't wait to try everything else she is offering in her cafe. Plenty of parking available.

Stumbled upon here as I was searching for hidden gems. It's a shame more people don't know about this kitchen. Came in on a Saturday night around 7pm.

Had lovely colored and delivered with every bite. Honestly it was so good that two hours later I came back and ordered food for my family. They licked the plate clean. I got them the Creole Seafood Eggrolls and the southern fried shrimp po boy. There's a few seats outside the restaurant but most people take it to go it looks like. Tell your friends.

We were looking for cajun food and stumbled upon this hidden gem. When I say hidden, its hidden tucked inside an old industrial building (with zero street signage) that now houses a bunch of pop up culinary surprises. On the second floor tucked in the back corner you will find Far East Bayou. This casual take out restaurant, is a fusion of Southern New Orleans and Korean flavors. The chef was extremely friendly and ready to take us down his culinary journey down the bayou. I ordered a bunch of different dishes for my husband and I to sample: Shrimp Bo Poy - blackened, shrimp po boy- fried, crab hush puppies and honey cajun udon noodles. Everything was extremely flavorful! The sauces were out of this world. They had a nice spice on them. Not a spice that sets your mouth on fire, but spice that is flavorful and enhances everything else on the plate. The fried shrimp was super crispy and the cornmeal breading was perfectly seasoned. My only complaint is the preparation of the shrimp. The shrimp are prepared with their tails on, which made it difficult to eat. We had to dig through the sauces and toppings to find each shrimp and pull the tails off . I learned the owner makes his own kimchi, which is made using more spices and vegetables and less fish. He allowed me to sample some, and I will be dreaming about this kimchi tonight! I will definitely be coming back to try their rotating specials menu, and grab some more kimchi!

I'd never experienced anything like Saha in the past (the closest thing would be Urban Acorn Catering) but what Chef Khalil does with Saha is run a pop up restaurant at his own place in Hamilton that serves up a top of the line Middle Eastern Tasting Menu that he makes and plays host along with his lovely wife. We had a 5 course tasting menu, but with Chef Khalil being so fantastic, we ended up with a total of 9 wonderful courses (10 if you count the Arabic coffee to finish). Left feeling very full and just blown away at this delicious and wonderfully intimate experience. I won't go in to very detailed descriptions of the courses, but in all honesty every single one was a highlight, it was very difficult to pick a favourite, for me it was probably the Halibut, with Arabian tapenade that also had crispy chicken skin, I don't think I've ever had a fish dish topped with chicken and it was amazing! The feast for the eyes was definitely his dessert, a pomegranate mouse surrounded by cardamom meringues! Those 2 dishes looked amazing but tasted even better!! Red meat is my least favourite thing to eat, so I appreciated the rib of lamb not being massive, and appreciated it even more that it was a medium rare delight! What really made this evening special was the ambiance that Chef Khalil and his wife sets in their living room, a small intimate space perfect for a romantic night with a nice tall table candle and Arabic music to go with it. Throughout the evening chef would keep checking on us to make sure everything was going great, and talk about the dish we were about to have. He makes everything in house, which really blew me away, considering it was just for 2 of us and he makes such a large variety of dishes! It is BYOW, and I'm glad I messaged him beforehand to ask for his recommendation for what type of wine to bring along, since even my clumsy selection of wine worked out great thanks to his suggestion. While I found Saha through Airbnb I would recommend people just go to it via his regular website to get more info and make reservations too (cheaper than Airbnb).Chef Khalil hopes to open Saha as an intimate restaurant in Toronto next year, and I don't think there is anyone else doing a middle eastern tasting menu, but even compared to the tasting menus of O&B and the momofuku's in the world, Saha truly holds up, and I can't recommend this pop up version enough, especially for the price of close to $100/person (or less if you opt for fewer courses) it's truly a steal! I wish him and his wife the best moving forward!

    So I had no idea the Monocle Building even existed, but I have had my eye on Cafe Bewilderment…read morethrough Instagram for quite a while. I was thrilled to finally make to it Cafe Bewilderment for lunch yesterday. First and foremost, the Monocle Building itself is stunning with immaculate vibes. Once we found Cafe Bewilderment, I was, in fact, bewildered. It's beautiful, it's wild, and it's a place I already know I'll want to return to again and again. The setup is simple: order at the counter, grab your table marker (a very tiny tree stump - how fun is that?), and your food is brought out to you. All of the employees were friendly and the gentleman at the register helped me decide between the Lox Sandwich and the Hot Honey Burrata. He recommended the lox so I went with that. The Lox Sandwich was more of a lox toast than a sandwich, but whatever it was delicious and surprisingly filling. My mom ordered the Bewild BLT and ended up taking half of it home, so I'd say hers was also filling. To drink, I ordered a hot latte with lavender and cardamom. It was so, so good, and the presentation was chef's kiss. Honestly, though, the decor is mesmerizing. Everywhere you look there's something interesting to admire - even the bathroom. I really, really, really want to come back to try more of the menu as well as their cocktails. Something tells me Cafe Bewilderment is just as magical in the evening as it is during the day!!!

    Always busy! We were able to get seats at the bar on a Sunday. Bartender was very pleasant. They…read moreshould probably figure out better seating organization, and the front of house probably would benefit from hiring one more person. Many of the Sunday Specials had been sold out by 10:30 am, felt a little early to be sold out with the daily specials but ok. The sandwiches looked terrific! Next time I'll have one of those. Great addition to Hertel.

    Buyers beware: I did a 2good2go order from them which was $6.99+tax for what was supposed to be $21…read moreworth of food. What I got? A pint of some kind of soup and a container with a scoop of white rice. To put into perspective: they have a daily deal that is an entree, soup, salad, rice, beans and plantains for $22. The soup was just not good, I'm not sure what was in it but everything was fibrous and the soup was pretty bland. I guess in fairness the rice was good, but it's white rice...not worth even $1. Do not order from them for 2good2go. The pastries looked good but I didn't order any so I don't know how they taste.

    Oh. My. Word! First, I'll start with the one, single…read moredisappointing thing... The day we visited, they did not have any baked goods (they said they only have them on the weekend), so we couldn't try the peras de coco (coconut rolls). But, perhaps it was kind of a blessing because our picada was plentiful. The dining area isn't huge, but they also do take out. There are about 5 or so tables to dine in. The service was a tad slow, but very friendly; I believe there was only one person waiting, cooking & serving AND the food was more than worth the wait! We ordered the picada for 4 and my brother tried a Colombiana cola. He liked it a lot; it was lighter than a "normal" cola, non-carbonated and less sweet than cola around here. I don't drink pop and even when I did, I always hated colas. I can't say I'd drink a whole Colombiana, but I didn't find it disgusting & that's saying something. Now on to the star of the show, the picada! It was loaded with several different meats, plantains fixed in different ways, yuca & baby potatoes and 4 sauces. We were so excited when it was set down on our table, we dug in before we even got our silverware haha. The platter had chicken, steak, chicharron, chorizo, blood sausage, sausage, sweet plantain, fried plantain, fried yuca and Colombian potatoes. The sauces were: avocado sauce, mayo/ketchup, pico de gallo & a garlicky one. Everything was so, so flavorful and cooked perfectly! There was not one thing that any of us didn't like. If I had to pick my top contender of a meat and a non-meat item, I would choose the chicharron & sweet plantain.... But I hope to never have to make that choice! The chicharron were thick and crunchy. The sweet plantain were perfection. When we left we were each given a dulce de leche caramel. They also have a variety of Colombian snacks and candies for sale. They recently opened an additional, larger location at 951 Niagara Falls Blvd (it used to be El Palenque). We were told they will be keeping both locations open, but the new location will have some additional items that they don't serve at the Oliver St location. I cannot wait to visit again!!!
