Baklava is yummy, the lady who served us patiently explained the sweetness & flavours since it was our first time buying these sweets.

I'm pretty sure this is the second branch of La Brioche (the first being the one on Bank St at…read moreThornton in the Glebe). They sell lots of different pastries but specialize in Middle Eastern pastries. I love their Znoud El Sit, and I went on a Thursday and they had them! Some places only have this on the weekends. They are $2 each and are shorter but fatter than other places - more delicious creamy filling! The cream is a little clumpier and not as smooth, but I don't really mind. They have macarons for $1.50 each. I haven't tried them but they looked good. The bakery is really clean and well lit. Staff were nice. It's in a strip mall (right next door to Capital Buns Bakery). Lots of free parking.

Update after another visit:…read more I decided to give D Spot another try tonight, hoping for a better experience than my first visit. While the food was much better this time, the service unfortunately still left a lot to be desired. We came as a party of seven. When we walked in, the person at the front desk didn't even look up or acknowledge us. We basically had to wait for him to finish what he was doing before being greeted. What surprised me even more was that more than half the restaurant was empty, yet we were still asked to wait because they were "busy" and couldn't seat us right away. After everyone had arrived, we waited over 15 minutes before anyone came over. We asked to order drinks first, but were told they'd come back to take the whole order instead. They never did. Another server eventually took our order, and one of the drinks was still forgotten. The tables and seats also weren't very clean. There were crumbs and even hair on the seating, so we ended up wiping everything down ourselves. On top of that, there were fruit flies around our table throughout the meal, which was pretty annoying. To give credit where it's due, the food itself was good this time and we had no complaints about what we ordered. Unfortunately, the service and cleanliness still didn't match the quality of the food. Original review (1 year ago): My experience didn't leave the best first impression... To summarize, my rating is mainly for the beautiful decor inside and the comfortable spacious seating. The desserts were average, my request for adding blueberries turned out to be blackberries, and the crepes were surprisingly crispy rather than soft. We arrived about an hour before closing, ordered two crepes, one waffle, two drinks, a hot dog, and poutine. Our server was friendly, but we were surprised she didn't have to write down our order at all. To our disappointment, all desserts were served first, only to find out about an hour later our poutine and hot dog were never entered into the system. When we asked if they were on the way, we were told the machines had already been shut down. (The only things we thoroughly enjoyed were the drinks.) We stopped in for a late-night snack and dessert as I'd been wanting to try this place every time I passed by after the movies, but it turned out to be a bit of a letdown.

Highly recommend this place!…read more First time visiting the store in person as we've only ordered online for delivery before & it was a great experience! The store has a nice vibe with lots of seasonal décor and unique gift selections. Everything was clean, organized, and easy to browse. The staff were friendly, service was fairly quick, and we really enjoyed the affogato. The ice cream was smooth and creamy and paired perfectly with the espresso. Aside from my Hokkaido ice cream experience in Japan, this has been by far the best and smoothest soft ice cream I have ever had and my second favourite of all time. I also loved that you can DIY the chocolate drizzle to your taste. I was a little reluctant to order other dip cones as I am not a huge fan of sweets, but this ice cream already has me reminiscing about it. It honestly was not overly sweet like typical soft serves, and having so many selections of chocolate is awesome. We will definitely be back to try more items on the menu.

I went there on my birthday to try something new. I was happy with the overall service although I went in the middle of the day on a Thursday and it still felt a bit chaotic. There's not a lot of space to wait in the entrance. I got a box of 4 cookies including 1 "cake", that came to about 28$. I got a cheesecake cookie, red velvet cookie, pecan pie cookie and strawberry butter cake. Everything was good although I wasn't a huge fan of the pecan pie one. It was too much "crust" and not enough filling. Otherwise this was a good experience and I will probably return for special occasions.

Whether it is the summer or cold winter, Carp Custom Creamery is available for a quick service to enjoy straight from when you receive the cone from the counter to even taking a pint home to enjoy at your own pace. Whether it's soft serve, hand churned ice cream, or the smell of fresh waffle cones, Carp Custom Creamery has really impressed me! In conjunction with Cheshire Cat Pub, you definitely need to try the Sticky Toffee Pudding flavour which has big chunks of the sponge cake pairing well with the butterscotch based ice cream! In addition, the coconut ice cream is always very refreshing with fresh coconut shavings adding a nice palate cleanser! I can't wait to go back soon!

We have not had the chance to sit and relax inside to enjoy our purchases... yet! One day, we will! However, we have been able to enjoy the food on the patio out front (once), when the weather was warmer. The service is good and the treats are really tempting! The coffee is also good, a little stronger than I am used to, maybe a tad on the bitter side? But still good. We have enjoyed Honey three times now, in our effort to Support Local, and we look forward to continuing to support them. Bravo for facing the challenge of opening up your new shop during the pandemic, and in spite of it! We are really glad you are here!

I've had cupcakes at this Cupcake Lounge in Westboro and also at the one in the Byward Market…read more(which was the original location (opened in 2011), the Westboro one is the second location - it opened in 2013) and I have to say that I like the cupcakes at the one in the Byward Market better. The cake seems to be softer and fluffier there. My main complaint about both locations (although some might find this a positive instead of a negative) is that there is way too much icing on the cupcakes, lol. The icing is like half of the cupcake! And it's so rich and buttery! Again, many people may like this, me not so much. I don't enjoy cakes that are too sweet nor frosting that is too buttery. So take this review for what it is, haha! I do find the more "creative" flavours (e.g. coconut key lime pie, apple dulce de leche, lemon raspberry, etc.) to be tastier than the more generic flavours (chocolate, vanilla, birthday cake, etc.). Admittedly, the last time I actually bought cupcakes from The Cupcake Lounge was way back when they first opened. Ever since then, I've just had their cupcakes when colleagues bring them into work or family/friends bring them to parties or other events. They are very pretty and photogenic :) just too sweet and too rich for my taste buds :( This location is in the heart of Westboro. Street parking only.
