Recently, I visited Jollibee. While waiting in line, I looked over at Foody World and noticed the…read moreCoCo logo. What?! I thought that I was hallucinating due to not having any dinner in my stomach. Nope, my eyesight was and is fine. There is a CoCo inside Foody World. I believe that Foody World used to be a Rona. Anyway, after you walk through the main doors of Foody World, you'll find CoCo in the far right corner. It is rare for me to visit a brand new CoCo store. This store is the first one that I have ever visited where it's a part of a grocery store. I got here just before noon. There are grand opening specials. I had a friendly woman help me out with my order. This place, like most CoCo locations, accepts Vicinity points. I entered my phone number and all was great. I ordered a large mango slush. I typically don't add toppings to a slush. There's enough goodness going on in it! It was $4.50 before taxes. I paid $5.10 in total and waited patiently. Since I was the only customer there, my drink was ready faster than my putting my wallet in my purse. I was delighted! The woman asked if I needed a bag. Nah, I was good. I was going to drink it driving back home. She gave me a straw. I thanked her and left. It was my first time having a mango slush from CoCo. It's yummy. How come I never thought about getting one before? Ah, I know why. My favourite drink is the strawberry black tea. I order it so much that I have ignored the rest of the menu! The mango flavour is cheerful and real. It's sunshine in a cup. It's not an overly sweet drink. It's nice on a gloomy, rainy day. I like this CoCo. It's deadly that I can grocery shop at Foody World and get my bubble tea fix on all in one stop. I can't complain. I love convenience. I'll be back! (81)

I understand we can't hear each other clearly with masks and flexiglass so getting the orders wrong is okay. But seriously, rolling eyes and giving that annoyed b**face is not a good customer service. "URGH" is not a good attitude neither - by all means, do that behind but not when we can see you. And after all, she got my drink wrong. To make an accurate direction, it was a #97 order made today. Management should take its role to train their staff with proper service. Otherwise, the drinks tasted good. Hope you find this helpful.

We tried a classic chocolate cookie with Benedict Cumberbatch's face stamped on it with a vanilla frosting and a Tahitian chocolate chip sea salt cookie that was crispy - perfect for morning coffee. The interesting flavours that seemed interesting and I will the next time is a lemongrass infused frosting for a Thai cookie. They also have a tea and jam selection too. I liked the service and the desserts were tasty.

Inside has lots of layers of soft buttery croissant dough - delicious. The chocolate croissant has a really nice rich chocolate drizzle on top and layer inside. It's sweet chocolate flavor but not overly and has that nice rich texture. Almond croissant has sliced almond and powdered sugar on top. There's an almond paste layer in the middle that has a great almond flavor and isn't too sweet. Price: Pretty consistent pricing with downtown pastries with great quality.

Since the start of the pandemic, they have stopped doing this (even with Stage 3 in Toronto). I happen to find Staij & Co on Instagram and noticed that they sold fresh croissants and coffee beans for delivery. Also, their croissants looked delicious from the photos so I had to try this place! Anyway, I decided to bring my parents' favourite activity to them. For my parents, I ordered the variety of croissants - plain, Nutella and almond along with two bags of Pilot Coffee and a box of Spokane tea. My dad raved about all three types of croissants so I decided to try them myself. I ordered the same variety pack. Staij delivers to you, free of charge. However, it is only on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Check out their website as they also do birthday cupcakes. We ordered half a dozen for a friend; they were decorated beautifully with 'Happy Birthday.' Our friend was pleasantly surprised for a delicious treat delivery to their home on the special day. Good for: baked goods, gifts, free delivery, coffee, tea

We were leaving the mall and somehow found ourselves peering in the case looking at all the scrumptious desserts. We didn't need anything; however, that didn't stop us. The coffee was smooth, the baked goods looked divine and they kept trying to convince you to buy more right until you left the booth. Welcoming environment, friendly staff, thank goodness I was full, otherwise, I would have kept spending.

It took a Yelp event last month to draw my attention to Cake It. I enjoyed my first experience so…read moremuch that I have been back for more. Cake It is at Promenade Shopping Centre. The store is located next to mall entrance 4. There is plenty of parking in the evening during weekdays. The storefront is beautiful. I was mesmerized by how gorgeous it looked the first time and still feel the same way. If you are feeling fancy, you can order a latte with a printed design on top. Their coffee machine has different designs to choose from. I also like that you can get dairy-free options in your latte, such as oat or almond beverage. I loved my latte. It had a touch of sugar, which I appreciated. It tasted yummy and hit the spot. This dessert place is known for making sweet sushi. It looks like sushi, but in dessert form. It takes three days to make one sweet sushi roll. It looked like a lot of work to put it together. I have had the Oreo sushi. It was sweet, but not to the point where I felt that my teeth were disintegrating in front of me. I loved how soft the interior was and how nicely it held together by the chocolate exterior coating. Yummy! What brings me back to this store is the fine assortment of desserts. The store also has sugar-free options that I dig. I've had the following items so far: - Lemon macaron - Lemon tart - Cake pop (sugar-free) - Magnum filled with mousse The lemon macaron was awesome. I love tart lemon and this macaron had it. The lemon tart was equally as tart (pun unintended, but it's kind of funny that it should be) and delicious. It had more crust than I would have liked, though. I'm more of a filling person. Delicious nonetheless! The cake pop was moist and yummy. It was the right portion size, except that I wanted five more of them. It was delicious. The magnum was super delicate. I loved the white chocolate on the outside and the decadent mousse inside. It was a bit heavy that I couldn't hold it by the stick and eat it. All of these goodies were not overly sweet. It felt decadent eating each dessert item. It was nice treating myself to these goodies. I will give a croissant a try next time. There's so much to check out, including cakes and cheesecakes. Staff are warm and helpful. I love that they describe each dessert item that I'm curious about with so much passion. I'll be back again for more. (326)

The other 10% is that, unlike Booster Juice, Jugo has a wide variety of smoothies without any milk products. That is perfect for my lactose-intolerant greedy belly.

The bakery is on the smaller side but has a table that can seat 8 people. The owner/baker provided us plates, cutlery, and a knife to cut the cake with!

The hospitality here was amazing and they even helped take our group photos at the end!

Local Afghani bakery in Vaughan... What a gem! I came here originally because I saw online that…read morethey sell honey cake, and ended up walking out with MOCHA honey cake and trying Afghani ice cream for the first time. The Afghani ice cream had such an interestingly pleasant texture and rich milk & cardamom flavor. They have two sizes, small (closer like a medium tbh) for $8 or large for $16. The portion is quite large, its stretchy texture allows it to sit on top of itself like a soft serve would. It came topped with crushed pistachios and what I believe was condensed milk? If you've ever had rasmalai before, this ice cream tastes exactly like it. SO GOOD. Mocha honey cake was decent, the texture was on point but I wasn't the biggest fan of the frosting (like a buttercream??) and caramel they used, which is why I docked a star. It was also $9 per slice. I think mocha is a cool spin on traditional medovik, but my expectations were a bit different since I'm used to the traditional Eastern European version where the frosting base should be made with sour cream. Their staff is very hospitable & the atmosphere is cute and very clean. Aside from cakes, pastries, and ice cream, they also sell gelato, large quantities of high quality saffron, organic dried nuts, mulberries, and raisins! Overall, cool spot with a unique dessert I'd highly recommend people from other backgrounds should give a try. The Afghan ice cream is really good and honestly the only thing I'd stick to if I came back.
