Let me start my review by saying that I'm something of a dessertoholic. In addition, I spend a lot of time wishing that the cafes in Mississauga were a bit more like the ones I remember from Europe. Since this is about as close as I think I'll get to middle European sweets in this city, it's definitely become a perennial favourite for me. Though they commit the cardinal sin of using phyllo dough for their strudel (it's not the same thing as strudel dough, darn it!) I noticed the emptied tubs of quark in their kitchen which gave me faith in their relative authenticity. To date I've had the topfenstudel (absolutely great), the poppyseed strudel (too sweet with not enough poppy, I think I'll stick to Polish baked goods for my poppy fix), the coupe Mozart (now THIS is what an ice cream sundae should look like!) and the apricot pistachio crepe (also insanely good and wonderfully presented). The highlight of their desserts is easily the ice cream, especially the nutty flavours. On the savoury side, I've tried their veggie flatbread with artichokes and feta and it was tasty, but too smothered in oil for my tastes along with the salad (I really dislike it when veggies are greasy). Can't wait to come again, either for more ice cream or sweet crepes. read more

This place had declined a lot in the last year or so. I use to be dine here every Friday night, but my loyalty is no longer there for this restaurant. The bar and grill that moved in next door has become a better place to eat at these days in comparison. They use to have a dedicated team of wait staff that knew what service meant. The long time employees started to leave and morale at the restaurant started to diminish. I don't think it ever recovered. The replacement staff doesn't compare. The desserts are hit or miss. They use to have much better selection in the past. The meals are no longer consistent these days. The portions sizes are noticeable smaller, which is generally a bad sign for any restaurant. My wife will often order the Wiener Schnitzel. They have reduced the size of the pork, there are less potatoes, and the amount of mushroom gravy gets reduced in size constantly. They amount they give you now is laughable. The gravy use to cover the entire pork, but it hardly covers 1/4 anymore. Be aware that coffee refills cost money. They serve coffee in a small cup and charge too much for what you get. My advise is to skip the coffee and pick up starbucks on your way out. Starbucks is located next door to this restaurant. The restaurant is in bad shape. The tables are all wobbly, chairs are old and uncomfortable, and dirt is visible all over the place. They ran into huge problems with fruit flies last summer. They were visible everywhere on the walls. A major renovation is needed with all new tables and seats. The patio consists of cheap plastic tables and chairs. It is very cramped back there in warm weather. You are also seated far too close to other patrons. I couldn't even tell you the foul language my kids had to endure on a few occasions from the people seated near us....absolutely disgusting. We have been ignored on numerous occasions when seated back there. The patio is no longer a viable option for us and not recommended. I don't think this restaurant will be around for much longer. It use to be our go to Friday night dinner. Maybe they can find a way to turn it around, but I have a feeling its too little too late for them. read more

It is a very small, crowded and noisy place to eat. We could barely understand the waitress when she was telling us the daily special because of her accent. The result was, she got annoyed when we keep asking her the same question. My soup was lukewarm and the seafood pasta was loaded with black pepper and no good cook will do that. We will never go there again. read more

Went here today and was incredibly disappointed by the lack of service. The food was good but unless you're the more mature retired clientele they will completely ignore you. We sat down for 8 minutes before we got fed up and had to ask for a menu. Figured out what we wanted and closed our menu and then had to wait for the waitress to pass by us three times before she realized we wanted to order something. Once we did order I noticed that all the other tables had bread baskets and water but they didn't bother even offering it and we had already put in our coffee order. Waitress dropped off our meal and we never saw her again. A different server was the one who brought us our cheque. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone since if I'm paying $14 for a crepe and then pay for coffee refills I would expect some sort of minimal service read more

Small, friendly cafe providing great service. Food and dessert is on point, however the coffee is subpar in my opinion. They also don't have the greatest variety/quality of speciality drinks. read more

Owned by an Austrian couple, the Apricot tree is a delight for any occasion and any time of the day. Infact, my family goes here ever Easter as a tradition. The food is fresh, meals exciting, flavours delicious and staff extremely attentive and friendly. Their desserts are to die for and all made in-house with fresh ingredients. I would recommend to try the white chocolate cake or the apple cheesecake. You won't be disappointed! read more

Nice atmosphere, happy and engaged staff, the food was presented well, and was above average. I would recommend this place for dinner, and will be back again. read more

My poor rating for this restaurant was based mainly on the service...although the food wasn't that great either. First of all, I loved the location and look of this place. It's located in this small but really fancy looking plaza- very unique. I went on a weekend for lunch but did not make any reservations, so upon arrival we got the last table available, which was right by the front door. The interior was well decorated and I can imagine that it would be even better during the summer when the patio would be open. So basically, we were not getting service AT ALL. We waited for almost 10 minutes until I had to call someone myself. I asked for water and the menu, which didn't arrive until I had to ask several times after (around 4 times). Later, a lady came up to take our order. She didn't seem very friendly, as she took down our order without a smile on her face or any sort of recommendations. I asked for the smoked salmon warm salad. The rest ordered the vegetable sandwich. While waiting they brought a complimentary bread basket to the table, which consisted of warm olive bread. It wasn't the best olive bread I've had but I did enjoy it, mainly because I was starving. The food arrived in a timely manner but my salad was a tiny portion size and was pretty gross. It was soggy warm salad...which I should've expected as 'warm' was what they described the food would be, but I did not assume the 'warm' description would indicate soggy, wilted salad, with warm smoked salmon! I think smoked salmon should always be served chilled!! The sandwiches were overflowing and looked odd to me, as they looked more like bread dumped with vegetables. I think if I were to visit again, I will stick to the desserts and coffee, which looked good from their display case and had a lot of demand based on the people walking in just to buy cakes and pastries. Also, I would suggest making a reservation if you were to ever go. read more

I don't understand the hype. The dessert items we had were at a reasonable price but I've had better food elsewhere (with more options available). The place seemed a little dusty and geared towards older clientele. read more

It was a mixed meal for the family. Excellent chicken/tarragon crepe and lamb shank; however, the Coq au Vin was rather disappointing. The chicken itself was very bland and much overcooked. Disappointed to see that the dessert/cake choices were very limited to compared to before the renovation. Still one of our favorite of ours in the neighbourhood. read more

This place is terrible, not specifically because of the food but because of the owner, and older gentleman. Firstly, I caught him berating one of his staff members to the point of tears. His entire staff appears scared of him. There's a lot of mold in the bathroom as well. The food itself is nothing special. read more

I've been to The Apricot Tree multiple times and each time I have been very satisfied with the variety of food. Service can be a bit slow at times and the servers are pleasant. I love the crepes and the pastas. I think that the portions are a reasonable size. I'm sad that Starbucks closed down as there is no free WiFi. I've only tried their desserts once but it was rich and decadent. Next time I'll try their gelato. The last time I went the fire alarm went off but the server didn't say anything. At first we were confused but figured it was nothing serious since no one was paying attention to it, even though it was quite loud and annoying. Another thing. I was signed up for their newsletter and I was waiting for my birthday gift but never received it. I looked on their website and found out you have to opt in via phone number. I'm not sure if they sent out an email regarding this but I was a bit sad as I would have liked to use my birthday gift last year. Nonetheless I will continue to support this fantastic quaint restaurant :) read more

This place has been a family favourite for years and we go there for almost every special occasion so the staff know us by now! Food is always outstanding and creative, especially the crepes! Both the dinner and dessert crepes are out of this world and during crepefest, they have an even bigger selection! Everything is made from scratch including the ice cream/gelato and kudos to the chef and his wife for keeping the daily specials so interesting! read more

Took my mother-in-law for her birthday. Service was warm and friendly and we all generally liked our food. I ordered a salmon wrap and it was fine. The apricot salad I had was excellent. Very cozy place and I will also go back in the spring/summer when their patio is open. read more

I like Apricot Tree. They have an amazing selection of crepes and a lovely brunch as well. Try their homemade Gelato - light and great tasting. Fantastic selection of cakes ! WE always get our birthday cakes. My favourite is the Tiramisu. read more

Very nice place/location for a Saturday morning breakfast. Love the eggs Florentine which is what I always get. Good service as well.

This restaurant was a disappointment from the moment I walked in. I was not seated, rather told to sit anywhere by a server. Which is completely fine, but then they ignored me for a good 15 minutes until I got up and asked for a menu. Then they didn't have all of their menu items available. Finally, the waiter spilled water all over me, my phone which was on the table, and even my purse which was on the floor. Luckily my phone was not completely destroyed, but I did have to eat my meal very damp. I was most disappointed that the manager did not offer me any sort of discount or gesture of good customer service for the mishap. Overall, TERRIBLE customer service at this establishment. I must say, the food was good though. Don't waste your money on the bruschetta, but the french onion soup is fantastic. Also the crepes are wonderful. Regardless, you may want to steer clear of this place if you expect good customer service when you spend money at a dining establishment. read more
