    Chocolate lava cake with chocolate ice cream
    David Y.

    Unexpected delights! My wife and I had actually never heard of BB Cafe when we stepped in, but leave it wanting to come back for more. We got: - Turkish coffee: Strong and awesome, like it always is. And the side biscuit they provided was really tasty. - Chocolate lava cake with chocolate icecream: Gooey, heavy, so so chocolatey. A tad underbaked but any chocoholic would still love it. - Shirini napoleoni with cream: A must-try. The filo pastry was flaky but still very tasty, the cream was generous and just the right level of sweetness. It's a bit pricey though for the size. - Persian cookies: Lots of choices - and they are super generous with giving you stuff to taste test. (Think they gave us 5 or 6 cookies as a free taste!) The place itself is nice and spacious, with a second floor that's quiet (can easily imagine hanging out the whole afternoon). And the service is exceptional - like I mentioned, they're very generous in giving you freebies to try, plus they're also quick with the overall service once you order. Overall a great experience. Will definitely be back to try their other goodies.

    Oh the many adventures your taste buds will take you here at BB Cafe! Rose water, pomegranate, saffron, cardamom...truly a party for your senses. Being my usual curious self I started asking about all the desserts. Tried their traditional desserts: Faloodah and Zoolbia but when we arrived at the cookie section the lovely staff member handed me a plate of assorted cookie samples to try, what a sweetheart! Hubby and I decided on a scoop of Saffron ice cream with a hint of rose water, a scoop of pomegranate ice cream and a pot of Persian tea (enough for two cups) to eat in, and a single serve Napoleon with pistachios and a mini chocolate mousse cake to go. Persian desserts are NOT meant to be gobbled up haphazardly. Enjoy the experience of the moment and appreciate the ability of your tongue to distinguish all the different textures, spices and flavors used to craft their delicacies. Some reviewers complained that the desserts are too sweet but you need to know the trick to enjoying their exotic offerings. You take a small bite then follow it up with a sip of their delicious Persian tea, no need to sweeten your tea with additional sugar AHA! Their desserts are a perfect accompaniment to their tea. The best time to come is during non peak times so that you'll have the undivided attention of the staff. There are no labels on the desserts so if you're unfamiliar with Persian desserts you'll just have to ask. Fortunately the staff are more than willing to answer any questions and offer multiple samples for you to try. They have second floor seating good for big groups which also has a balcony. They have plans to expand their dessert and drink menu to include food items like their other location.

    BB Cafe is one of the numerous Persian cafe in the area, but it is definitely one of the best one for set up. Airy, clean and with comfortable seating if you do decide to stay in for a cup of tea. A pot of tea ($2.49) on kept warm by a tea candle and a piece of Neapolitan custard cake ($3.99) is perfect combination for a leisure afternoon tea experience! There are numerous other pastries on display which I wish they have descriptions and prices on them. Especially good for customers like me that are not really sure which is which! If you are not into pastry, there is also Saffron ice cream and Faloodeh to choose from or you can even order both of them just like my friend did! Service is excellent and friendly. Just order at the counter and have a seat and your yummy dessert would be delivered to your table!

    Had a piece of cheesecake and Americano from BB Cafe. Maybe I had really high expectations? By Yonge and Steeles, it's in a strip mall with a number of other Iranian joints, including a halal butcher shop and currency exchange. There's a parking lot on site so you don't have to worry about where to leave your car. With public transportation, it seems a little inconvenient to get to. Service was excellent; once we were finished, the staff asked us how we enjoyed our desserts. Back to the desserts; I found the cheesecake to be quite dry and a little expensive for what I got. The total came up to just under $10 with the cheesecake being $6. Anyway, this place is a-ok; they have a number of desserts (including Iranian treats) along with ice cream and nuts. Good for: dessert, tea, coffee

    Fallodeh anar

    Very cheap owner every time we order carrots juice with ice cream which is our favourite the juicer is broken again and this issue is going on for almost 3 years, large cream puff for 6 dollars wow great pricing the cost of that is 0.35 cents and we get charged for 17 times more and thats how they coming up with new location. I bought a small container of fallodeh anar and look what i saw now big portion of container is gone for new way of stealing from customers. Watch out

    No labels here so, I call this the "circular choco brownie topped with coconut flakes" (dense AF and totally satisfies my cravings)

    My FAVOURITE bakery of all time. Top of my 2018 list. The mini swiss roll cakes are the best. Each bite sends me over the moon with joy. I've never, in my life, had such good cake: soft, fluffy, delectably delicious. These cakes restore my passion for life, renew my zest to carpe diem. Notable mentions: puff pastry, circular choco brownie topped with coconut flakes (dense AF and totally satisfies my cravings), chocolate wafers (this is THE shit, eff KitKat) Yet to try: Ice Cream & Gelato (I've read such good things on Yelp) Bonus: this is actually a super cute super secret date place. Chyeahhhh. Check out that second floor ;) Ask for the Turkish tea and choose a pastry!

    I got some cookies in a small box(sale by weight, my total was $11.06). Cookies were quite soft. My favorite were a coffee cookie; It was very flavourful, and crispy pies.

    Turkish coffee and large cake roll

    I ordered Turkish coffee and a cake roll. Cake tasted a day old and as for the coffee, I've had better so I was expecting better.

    Phenomenal Iranian bakery. Easily the best I've found in Toronto. Be sure not to miss the Nokhodchi (Persian Shortbread Cookies), sublime.

    What a gem! This bakery is tucked into the southeast corner…read moreof Yonge & College, and walking inside feels like stepping straight into Japan. The pastries and mochi breads are absolutely exquisite! I tried the black sesame mochi bread--light, pillowy, and filled with a delightful little white mochi surprise. The crème brûlée almond tart was incredible too, with its thick, eggy custard and a blueberry-almond center. And the Hitotoki matcha tart? Gorgeous and just perfect. It was my first visit, and I discovered the bakery through their 2nd-anniversary IG post. I bought about $20 worth of treats and got to spin their prize wheel--and I actually won the Grand Prize: a limited-edition gold Nespresso & milk frother kit! I literally jumped for joy. Yet another reason to love this incredible bakery!

    It was okay. Tried three items:…read more Matcha Lava Tart - The staff said this had the strongest matcha flavour among their matcha items. But there was no "lava" at all... just a layer of cream sitting on a thick tart base. You do get some matcha flavour, but definitely not that rich and flowing matcha sauce I saw in those online reels. Matcha Mont Blanc - Too sweet. The green noodle-shaped topping is actually made from a kind of bean paste - not much matcha taste, but had a strong bean flavour instead. And again, it was too sweet to my liking. Taro Tart - This one was good. Taro-flavoured cream on top, with taro paste underneath, then a layer of custard with mochi at the bottom. Had a rich taro flavour. Still a bit sweet, but not as overwhelming as the Mont Blanc. Overall it was not bad, although TBH I haven't really found great matcha desserts in Toronto so far.

My wife always judges a French Cafe by their Butter Croissant ($3.00) and she liked it! She also noticed all the  staff speak French sp it gives it even more legitimacy.  She also ordered a Flat White ($4.50) which was also good. I ordered a Plum Almond Tart ($7.25) because it was the prettiest. It was super delicious so it was definitely a good choice! Service was courteous and friendly. You place your order at the counter and bring it to your table. Someone will come around to clear the dishes when you are done It is a great place to have a nice casual time eating and socializing. They make all their food in-house in the basement. There are products for sale such as coffee beans, fruit syrup, maple syrup, smoked sauces, olive oil, scented soap, wine glassware, etc. I will definitely come back again to try other items. There is free WiFi. The neo-bisto is not wheelchair accessible since there are stairs leading up to the entrance. There are two gender-neutral washrooms. There is free street parking on their one-way south-bound street. Review 2023-017

    Amazing place! I…read morecalled ahead to find out if they had this plum tart I purchased the first time I was there. Yet no one answered the phone. No problem. Hopped on my bike and a half hour later I was there. The friendly staff helped me by answering my question regarding eggs and which items did not have any in the recipes. This place was also super poppin' when I got there. It was earlish in the day around 10:30am and it seemed all the tables were pretty much taken. They are adding a dinner menu which is very exciting. Their pastries are phenomenal!!! Picked up a plum and pistachio tart, a chocolate mousse cake and an apple Danish for my mom. Plus a chocolate caramelized croissant. So much butter, and yet so good. Brought my container, which they happily used. The last time I visited this spot back in 2022, I vowed I would come back and take up space in that beautiful bay window seat. Yet I haven't followed through with that yet. One day. They also changed the name, since I was there last it was called Le Conciliabule Lab. Le Conciliabule means, "speak easy", as their website says. It was used back in the day to describe a place where people would come together and talk about everything and nothing. I can definitely say that happens here. What a beautiful concept, "everything and nothing". Now named Bisou, which means kiss. That's actually really simple and sweet. Since every pastry and any food item or beverage enjoyed here is a kiss for your tastebuds. Love it. Keep going team. You are amazing!
