I was excited when my friend introduced me to this exciting, authentic French bakery! Once I walked…read moreinside the smell of fresh baked goodies was wonderful! It took me a long time to decide on what I wanted because everything looked so delicious. I ended up getting a Butter Croissant $3.25, Pistachio Croissant $3.95, Kouign-Amann $3.75 and Sourdough Boule bread that was already sliced $5.45. The croissants were so deliciously flaky and buttery and especially loved the heavenly Pistachio Croissant that gave me a Foodgasm! I also loved the Sourdough Boule that was so flavourful and delicious when lightly toasted. I wished I knew the specific ingredients of the bread but couldn't find anything online. The service was fast and friendly. Definitely coming back!

Went specifically for croissants so can't speak about their other pastries, but both Butter and…read moreAlmond croissants were delicious! Butter croissant was flaky outside and soft inside. Best of all, buttery! Almond croissant was equally as good. The filling was the right texture and flavour.

Disappointing Quality - Not Worth the Price. I was really…read morelooking forward to trying Crown Pastry after a new opening in Ajax, but unfortunately my experience was very disappointing. I spent almost $100 on baklava and various sweets, expecting high-quality pastries that would last at least a couple of days. The first day they were mediocre at best, but the real issue became apparent the next day - everything had turned hard and dry. The baklava lost all its moisture and became nearly inedible. For the premium price I paid, I expected fresh pastries that would maintain their quality for more than 24 hours. I ended up having to throw most of it away, which felt like throwing $100 in the trash. Such a waste of money. I'm not sure if this was an off day or if there's an issue with how they store their products, but the quality simply wasn't there. I hate leaving negative reviews, but I hope the management takes this feedback seriously. At these prices, customers deserve pastries that stay fresh and delicious beyond the day of purchase.

The prices have increased over the years (same as everywhere else), but it's a nice spot to pick up fresh bread, desserts, cakes, and hot table items. Parking is super tight in this small plaza, though.

This is only $10 and I must say this is more than worth it. The veal cutlet was delicious. tomato sauce felt fresh and tasty. The size of the sandwich for the price is a great deal. I see they have lasagna and other delicious looking foods. I am going to have to forget my lunch more often to go back and try some more tasty dishes. Bread is crisp and holds well. It fell apart a bit at the end, but that is user error as I devoured this. Portion is a good size but I still wish I ordered a second one, but would have been way to much food Definately requires a revisit.

Food wise, the pistachio croissant was well balanced and flakey! The pistachio cream inside wasn't overwhelming and it was just the perfect amount of sweetness. Highly recommend this cafe for a quality cup of coffee and a sweet treat.

We went here for lamprais and it hit the spot. Lady that runs the place was extremely nice and…read moreaccommodated us with open arms. We got one regular lamprais and she made a veggie one specially for my partner that is vegan and tolerates less spice than myself (I've got a Sri Lankan trained tongue, so I always go extra spicy). The traditional lamprais had all of the parts, though maybe a few slight deviations from what you might have back in Sri Lanka. Overall the lamprias came together very well and tasted great. The Sambal Belacan was modified but very tasty and the eggplant was perhaps a tad sweet. That's part of the experience though, every place makes theirs a bit differently and it is for you to try out and discover the one you like best. Certainly give there's a try. Besides the lamprais, we got some buns, rolls, and other small eats which all tasted exactly how they should. Looking forward to visiting them again.

Heard about this hidden gem on CBC Metro Morning when Food Critic Suresh Doss described how this…read morerestaurant's Lamprais attract a devoted following. So I stopped by on a Thursday mid-afternoon to buy a vegetarian Kothu Roti ($5). It was rightly spiced (I asked for mild) and very flavourful. When I inquired about their Lamprais, I learned they are available on weekends and can be ordered as Classical (meat) or veggie version. I couldn't help but to try their veggie Samosas (4/$1) and the courteous lady asked if I would like samosa as well as patties(also 4/$1) and also gave me one extra as this was my first visit to their restaurant. Overall, I was impressed by their food and service. Will visit again.

Great bakery outlet! Nice staff. I witnessed very sanitary practices here during the COVID19…read moreepidemic. Very good to see. Good place to pickup FRESH bread (Rye, Raisin bread, Brown, Marble, Multigrain, Whole Wheat, White bread and more). They sell Hot Dog Buns, Hamburger Buns, Cinnamon Buns and cake loaves. They have Mini cupcakes, Sesame Baguettes, French Bread, English Muffins, Cherry Danish, Cheese Danish, Apple Turnovers, Palm Pastries, Danishes, Apple Strudel Sticks, muffin tops, muffins, bagels, breadcrumbs, Tastee patties, bread, and the FRESHEST croissants. They maintain the rules of physical distancing and allow only a small amount of customers in the store at a time. They have stickers on the floor that measure out recommended space between customers. It's nice to see businesses like this one, that care about their staff and customers. It's much more pleasant shopping at this outlet, rather than shopping at a busy grocery store!

Really great bakery!…read more I love coming here to pick up fresh tortillas, croissants and buns. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They also have a wide selection of daily specials like muffin tops, danishes and pretzel buns you don't really find at other bakeries.

Staff were very friendly and keep giving out samples :) Plus, the portion and flavour were very satisfying especially considering the price (very affordable!) Wish I could visit here more often if it were close to me. My favourite of the day was chicken sandwich and napoleon cake, which was pretty big and not so sweet :)

TLDR: Good, a bit pricey, would go again for the classic pineapple bun…read more TIP: I believe they're debit or cash only. Debit is also only for $25+ purchases. Xuan Bakery has been on my list since they've opened and I finally had the chance to take a peek inside! It's your classic Chinese bakery, so nothing special there - you just take the tray and tongs at the far end and make your way to the register. The spacing can be done a little better - you can't really have more than 2-3 people looking and getting buns at the same time. SELECTION: There wasn't a lot of variety, but with the selection they do have, it was pretty unique. They have two different types of Pineapple Buns (bo lo bao): the classic and a Taiwanese version (which looks like Japanese melon buns). They also have several different sausage buns, including one with cheese and another with pork floss. These also look a bit different, it's not encased in the bun, but it's more of a hotdog kind of look. They also offer cakes and free samples of their cakes, which look and taste like your typical Chinese bakery cakes (not my preferred taste). They seem to really want to upsell their cakes (the lady kinda tried pressuring me to try and buy). PRICE: The prices were on the higher end. You're looking at about $4-6 per bun. They also have a 'lucky draw' going on right now if your subtotal is more than $25, but my draw required a minimum purchase of $35 lol (for a free slice of cake). FAV: The classic pineapple bun. The top was SO crispy yet the bottom was SO soft. I would go back just for this by itself. There was a lady ahead of me who ONLY bought the pineapple buns. She knows what's up.
