Recommended! The dessert (pistacho cake) isnt all that sweet and def a work of art to admire. Croissant isnt oily but still remains that croissant structure and taste. Lots of seating area.

Great cafe with luxurious interior decor. I only tried their coffee which was good but will definitely be back to try their pastries and well curated desserts. They have multiple locations but the ossington location is large with many seating options. The service was great and the staff were very friendly. I'm excited to try their desserts next time! read more

Toronto's most luxurious dessert spot for a reason! Love this place. The service is always so professional and warm that it makes you come back for more. The sweet treats are an absolute delight to look at and tastes incredible. I tried their pistachio crumble and vanilla tiramisu and both of them were out of this world! Personal favourite was the pistachio one. Also tried their coffee and it was pretty good. Gotta try the macaroons next time. And I loved the dark aesthetic inside the cafe! read more

Although I was impressed by the store's fancy looks and an elegant presentation of the cakes when walked in, later on, I felt that the actual tastes did not match the appearances - and the price. My review may be severe, but I am considering the balance between what I got & what I paid for. (most individual cakes were $10-12 range) Fraise: Good - with different fraise profiles, fresh berries, strawberry flavored custard inside and strawberry jerry on top. The flavors matched with the vanilla Babaroa. However, the sponge base was too squishy to support the soft elements on the above. The base may be better to have more distinct crunchy or crumby texture to better harmonize the whole. Mango: Sophisticated looking, but lacks the main mango flavor overall. It has cocoa flavor crunchy base, but once the mango mousse and the base are in the mouth, the cocoa flavor overpowers and kills the rest of the flavor. They do not match. The mousse texture was also a bit too hard. When I ate mousse itself, I did feel mango flavor - it was too subtle. Passion Fruit Cheesecake: The thicker and crumbly biscuit base gave a good balance and texture to this cake. But the cheesecake itself did not have enough Passion Fruit flavor. It had passion fruit's petal on it for the appearance, but I wanted to "taste" the actual passion fruits punch. Chocolate Raspberry: This one uses the same cocoa biscuit base as Mango cake. For this cake, the cocoa base went very well with the ingredient on top of it. But I wanted more texture on the actual chocolate cake part. Disappointed when I found that the raspberry flavor in the center was just a hard jerry with no raspberry seeds texture. Over all, texture is monotone, but the chocolate flavor was pronounced. Plain croissant: holding it is light, and the beautifully shaped. thin layer of crispy sugary sweet on top. But when splitting it, I found that this airiness is coming from actual air/void. Meaning, lack of layers, just a giant air pocket inside. I wanted more buttery flavor. The thin layer of sweetness may be nice to many people, but I look for a nice balance of buttery flavor and lightness. Tasty for sure, but it was not what I was looking for. Overall, each item was above average for sure, but did not worth the price I paid for. Their looks may attract attentions, so will be suited to impress others with flashiness at a gathering. read more

This is one of those situations where luxury doesn't necessarily mean good or tasty. We got 2 macarons and a pistachio pastry. The macarons were terrible, super dry, and didn't have a lot of filling. The pistachio pastry was good, but not good enough to bring up my rating. read more

Luxury, beautiful desserts and pastries. They have cakes, cookies, croissants, macarons, and a cafe. My friend and I shared a small pistachio cake, which is one of the popular items. It tasted as good as it looked, and was the perfect size for two. There is a good amount of seating if you would like to enjoy your coffee or drink there. read more

Came to Delysees after seeing their beautiful but affordable desserts (on par with other patisseries in Toronto) on Google. Their desserts really look like a piece of art on their own. There are so many different flavours and you are sure to find something you like. I got the Ultimate Pistachio Sphere which is filled with pistachio mousse and vanilla sponge cake topped with roasted pistachios and a chocolate button on a shortbread cookie. As a pistachio lover, I was blown away by the richness of the pistachio! I loved it so much and I would totally eat it again. I also got to try the matcha cake shaped as a rose and it had a strong matcha mousse. So creamy! The sweet and salted caramel macaron was delicious but nothing too special. The macaron shell did crumble but this did not affect how much I enjoyed it. Service was great and the entire staff (including the owner) were all very welcoming. We would definitely return to try out their other desserts. Such a great experience! read more

Very classy place to grab artful patisseries. They carry macarons, full cakes, and smaller single-size cakes and tarts. If you're in need of a last minute cake for a birthday, they had lots in refrigerated cases. I saw a lot of the trendy smash heart cakes in interesting flavours like mango. I wound up getting 2 smaller desserts. One was the nutella dome and the other was the 3-tier chocolate cake. Each dessert was $10. I gave each of them to different parties and the verdict was unanimous - too expensive for what it was! Definitely very pretty and would make a great Insta photo but in terms of taste, nothing to write home about. read more

The cafe is trendy and newer to the ossington area. It is intimate with some limited seating but has a very casual vibe. Perfect to grab a dessert or some coffee on the weekend during a stroll in the area. The puff pastry is very flaky and enjoyable. It is filled subtley with lemon curd. If you want something filled more then this may not be the item for you since it is a bit underfilled. But it helps you appreciate the pastry more. I love pistachio as a flavor and the pastry is very creamy, has an excellent distinctly pistachio flavor that is nutty and fresh. There is a dense bottom that tastes like a sable possibly. Gives the baked good a nice crunch. Would come again for sure. Very parisian while maintaining the chill relaxed vibe of ossington area. The staff and owner are all lovely, chatty and cheerful to make any day feel happier read more

I am a big big dessert person. I love sweets and everyone knows it. We stopped by this little store on our last day in Canada right before going to the airport. I ordered the Ferrera Rocha cake and I loved it! It was so good and really did taste like a Ferrera Rocha. The pistachio cake was good too. My bf loved the strawberry cake and the lemon tart was so tart! I also got a latte and the bf had an espresso flambe. The most expensive thing we ordered was that espresso flambe! But the bf said it was really good and he enjoyed it. Each of the pastry ranged from around $11 - $13 CAD. The coffee drinks were around $5 - $7 CAD. I also thought service here was great. The girls before the pastry counters were so sweet and friendly. They were nice and chit chatted with us. I also like the ambiance of this little dessert shop. It's modern but chic inside. Overall, great way for me to end a trip to Canada! With some yummy desserts. read more

Perfect dessert spot for those shopping on the Ossington Strip. I was blown away by the confectionary artistry. There are a zillion types of macaroons and chocolates that are colourful enough to be in an art exhibit on their own. Super friendly staff and large open airy space. Newly opened as of September 2021 and I heard they will be adding in door seating soon! The macaroons are absolutely divine and at $3 each, they are a perfect "You're living your best life" treat.

YUMMMYYY Overall, the mousse cakes were VERY SMOOTH! They were all SUPER FLAVOURFUL, especially the fruity ones, they pack a punch. The chocolate cakes were rich and aromatic. The cheesecake was very fluffy and soft - a crowd favourite among my friends. They're honestly as tasty as they are beautifully decorated!

Review is only for Opera cake (haven't tried their other stuff and don't intend to sadly after this experience). The opera is a classic French cake that unfortunately was not executed well here. The layers were all unequal (some layers of cake were thick while other layers of cream were thin and thick elsewhere). The top layer of dark chocolate couverture ganache was tasty but applied also unevenly and had light gaps of coverage in places. Overall it wasn't a smooth covering on the cake and it looked unprofessional as a result. Lastly, the cake layer itself tasted like a basic vanilla chiffon cake with a similar consistency. Didn't really have much almond flavour to it as it should. Overall not impressed with the quality or craftsmanship. Taste was so so but could have been less sweet and more intensely coffee - chocolate. For the price it wasn't amazing read more

Hm... what will I have today? Pro tip: as the store owner would tell you, wait a few min for the ice cream sandwich to thaw before biting in. About 5 min is good and enough time to take Yelp pics. The only unfortunate thing for me is that they're downtown and I'm uptown! Regardless, I always make an effort to drop by whenever I can. Their opening hours are not too friendly though... But I guess you can say that adds to their appeal. This little shop could really use more publicity. I believe we have to get more people eating macaron ice cream sandwiches this summer.

The one girl working didn't acknowledge me at all until she had no other choice, not a simple "I'll be with you in a second" or even a glance/nod over. Vibes were very off. Also she was the slowest mover I've ever seen, it felt like all her movements were in slow-mo from wrapping, packaging the processing payment. I've literally never seen a human worker move at that pace. Even after the other customer wrapped up and left it took her at least another minute before looking up at me. When I picked my item, again... she was moving at a pace where natural selection would've definitely taken her out. Not sure what was going on but it was weird. The air was stiff as there wasn't any customer service, kindness or even welcoming in the store. And the audacity of the machine to ask for a tip???? For what? Packing up a pastry at a snails pace? Tipping culture has really gotten out of hand.

Very light, soft and fluffy.

It ranked 2nd out of 4 for Isaan food. It was good food, but not in the top 20%. I did try the signature som tam, but I would try a different dish if I went again. I've definitely eaten better som tam, and I think I've made it myself too. Service was attentive but a couple things went awry. This is the only Thai restaurant I can remember where I asked for quite spicy, didn't find it spicy enough, asked for more spice and then what they gave me was the same not spicy. I might go again, but I might not.

It has a really clean and sleek interior with nice lighting. Not tons of seating but it has such a nice layout and good atmosphere. We waited for about 10 mins for a table which I think isn't too bad, especially for Toronto. One thing I really liked was how efficient everything was. You order right off the website/QR code at your table which makes the whole process super easy, especially when the restaurant is busy. The service overall was really good too. Food came out quickly, the staff were friendly, and everything felt really organized. Now for the food... SO GOOD. I got the chilli soup dumplings and they were honestly amazing. Probably one of my favourite things I've had in a while. They were super juicy, flavourful, and had the perfect amount of spice. The broth inside was delicious and the dumpling itself was cooked perfectly. I genuinely loved them. I also got the beef and chive dumplings which were fried, and those were sooo good too. Crispy on the outside, really flavourful filling, and just overall done really well. You can tell the food is made fresh and with good quality ingredients. And then for dessert we got the chocolate dumplings... WOW. 10/10. I genuinely can't recommend them enough. They were warm, crispy, chocolatey, and honestly the perfect dessert. Such a fun and unique idea and they tasted even better than I expected. Overall, this place was amazing. Beautiful interior, efficient service, and some really delicious food. Everything we tried was so good and I honestly loved the whole experience. Definitely one of my favourite dumpling spots I've tried in Toronto.

The space itself has a really niche aesthetic and I especially loved the unique window design. I arrived around 10 a.m. and the café was busy but not overwhelming, with a steady flow of people coming and going. I ordered one of their winter specials: an iced matcha with black sesame foam. It was pricey at $10, but honestly one of the best I've ever had. They instruct you to sip the foam first before mixing, and the flavours were bold with just the right amount of sweetness. The service was incredible. They actually brought my drink over, which I wasn't expecting, and when we were done they came by with water and cleared our empty cups. Such a pleasant surprise! All in all, highly recommend this spot. I would come by all the time if I lived nearby.

The place was more than worth the wait, as it turns out. And it's still doing extremely well, given how busy it was and how long we had to wait for a table (almost a full half hour!) We knew going in that we had to try a few of the joint's most famous dishes, the Cinnamon Bun Pancakes, the Breakwich, and Emma's BLT. It was clearly way, way too much food but everything was so good that I had zero regrets. In particular, those pancakes are as flavorful and scrumptious as I would've hoped. The two savory sandwiches fared just as well, and it was clear that they had been assembled with a tremendous amount of care. The busy atmosphere was fun, and our server was friendly and helpful. Yep, I can see why Emma's has managed to stick around all these years.

The biscuits were just average for my taste, but the home fries were excellent. The eggs Benedict could have used a bit more hollandaise--something I'm sure they would have happily provided if I'd asked, but I didn't. The highlight of the breakfast was the special menu collaboration with Sanagan Meat Locker. The savory cornbread pancakes were outstanding--served hot with crispy edges, layered with pimento cheese, and topped with butter and honey. Paired with the blueberry sausage from Sanagan, it was an unforgettable combination. I really loved this collaboration with Emma--it was creative, comforting, and absolutely delicious.
