No vegan or gluten sensitive products. But everything is made in house... with a few baked items frozen. Here's my absurd experience there. Ordering was easy. Gal pressing my OJ didn't put the cup underneath to collect the juice, so it spilled all over the counter. Without pause, she puts a cup into the spilled juice and proceeds to fill the cup with OJ. Puts a lid on it, doesn't wipe the bottom, puts it on the counter, so I go to take my juice, as I am next in line for the finished items...but some jerk rich kid in his ABERCROMBIE shirt doesn't even look up from his phone as he swipes it and waltzes out with his gf who looks like some extra from a 1948 Cary Grant high society flick. The gal(s) behind the counter watch this occur, and don't say anything. I ask HEY, ISNT THAT MY JUICE?...and without missing a beat, the server shrugs her shoulders and says THIS ONE WILL BE FOR YOU. No apology, no recognition of what occurred... she makes me one, and again, doesn't wipe up the orig spilled juice, just sticks a fresh cup into the slop and proceeds. I ask her if she's gonna wipe the bottom as she's handing it to me, and she just looks confused, and says HUH?...I grabbed my juice and left, at this point, realizing my losses and just needing to leave.

We stayed a block away from this little spot and ended up stopping by for coffee and dessert. Small…read moremenu, but a good variety, and we were told everything is homemade. They also serve breakfast, lunch, and pizza, but you have to order a whole pizza since they don't do slices. Their hours are kind of random and it seems like more of a neighborhood/local business type place. Everyone was really friendly and the prices were fair. We ordered lattes and one small pecan pie bites, definitely sweet and super moist.

If I could give this place 0 stars I WOULD!! The service…read morehere is ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS, DISRESPECTFUL and DISGUSTING. Today my friend and I were out for breakfast when an individual in need approached me asking for money for food. Instead I offered to buy them a coffee and a sandwich from the cafe. Before I was even able to enter the cafe, an employee stepped out and blocked the entrance. When I asked what he was doing, he said that the individual was not allowed to enter the cafe. Even though I was puzzled by this, I said that if she is not allowed in then I would like to come in since I will be purchasing the meals. The employee looked at me and said no and stated "if you care so much about people, why don't you just drive them home" this is absolutely the most DISGUSTING behaviour I have ever witnessed from an employee, AND who even says that...like how heartless and selfish can you be. I reiterated to the man that I'm not sure what his problem is with this individual, however I am a paying customer and I would like to buy the food. Once again he refused to let me in, and said that if we didn't leave he would be calling the cops. Additionally stating, "I can't let you buy food, because I'm scared you'll give it to her". Once again the service here is absolutely disgusting, and for an employee to speak to a paying customer that way, just because I was trying to buy an individual in need a meal, is truly horrific.

It was not too sweet or tart. The cream was a perfect pairing in the tart. The toffee cookies, were okay.. a little too,soft for our liking and you couldn't really taste the toffee bits. The shop has some nice things, worth a stop. The young lady behind the counter was nice, but seemed uninterested in answering questions. A little surprising given the quaintness of the shop. Worth a stop for something sweet! The baked good smell alone is worth it!

It was right around the corner from Cippys. It was like heaven walking in their door! The sights and smells of a good Italian bakery welcome you immediately. There were at least 4 different cases of yummy sweet delights. They had a nice selection of cheeses, meats, and shelves of Italian groceries. Items you might not normally find in your local grocery stores. How about some baccala? The star of the show here is their bread. There's a separate room you enter to make your bread selections. Again, the smell!! I didn't see anyone entering that didn't leave with bread. We checked. This place is 26 miles from our house and requires making the trip across the border. We'll be back! 2023-98

Dropped off taxes today and I wanted to check the bakery out for myself. Shelves of bread, frozen meals, pre-made sandwiches, bagged lunch meats and cheeses, pizza by the slice and then their pastry section. Soooo I picked out 4 more Horns and they did not disappoint! I highly recommend stopping in and picking something homemade up. Oh and the woman that helped us was super friendly. It made the overall experience that much more better.

I've had them at other locations before but I had visitors visiting from Edmonton who were visiting Niagara Falls so we grabbed a dozen croissants to share. They had so many varieties it was hard to choose but my favorite ones that I usually go for include: -Truffle Crab -Salted Egg yolk -Raspberry Panna Cotta / Strawberry Purée Custard -Honey Citrus / Lemon Cream Glazed Service was a little slow and unorganized despite them being opened already for a few months. They said 6 croissants and no tax but one of the girls told us we can mix and match with the croffles but when we went to pay they said we couldn't. When we went to pay they were struggling so hard with the point system. I do however appreciate them trying to figure out how it worked. So eventually they said I can only collect points and not redeem which was fine. I went back a second time cause I was thirsty and ordered one of their drinks that they said was available but then the girl looked at the other girl and then looked back at me and said it's not available soooo. Because this location is located in the food court at Fallsview Casino, they also take Momentum Dollars.
