French Made has cultivated something of a local legend around its croissants, and after two consecutive mornings arriving to an empty case, I understand the mythology. The almond croissant, when you're lucky enough to claim one before nine, delivers a genuinely impressive balance of shattering, buttery layers and a filling laced generously with almond cream, more Parisian in spirit than most bakeries attempting the same feat across this city. Even the raspberry version, when available, carries the same confident hand in the kitchen. The coffee program deserves equal praise. A well pulled latte and a properly balanced cappuccino suggest a team that treats espresso with the same seriousness as their pastry case, and it shows in the cup. Where the experience finds room to grow is in the choreography of the space itself. The room is petite, charming in its cobalt blue framed way, but the flow between ordering and pickup can feel cramped during a rush, and seating fills quickly. The patio, however, is a genuine reward, a shaded perch worth claiming on a slow afternoon. This is a cafe operating with real ambition and skill, let down only occasionally by its own popularity. Arrive early, claim a croissant while you still can, and settle onto the patio; you'll leave understanding exactly why regulars keep coming back. read more

Good coffee, sweet pastries. The raspberry croissant is the thing to get at FM. If you love sugar, carbs and want to indulge an industrial strength sweet tooth FM has got you covered. read more

Grabbed a Spanish Latte and a Mocha. Service was welcoming and efficient. The ambiance kinda reminded of the Cosmo in Vegas. I watched the barista expertly make our drinks and the flavor was fantastic. read more

An adorable French cafe offering everything from your typical latte to extravagant pastries. It sits back from the sidewalk a little bit, but you can't miss the vibrant cobalt blue exterior. This cafe is small and while I was there it was definitely a tight squeeze. Where you order and where you pick up your drink isn't designed to allow for a good flow for customers, aside from that, I have no complaints. I ordered a latte and grabbed two goodies for the road, a raspberry croissant and a ginger molasses cookie. The staff working were welcoming and friendly and my items were ready rather quickly. Once I got back to my hotel, I settled in to enjoy and get some work done. My latte was smooth and creamy and just what I needed to get my day started. My raspberry croissant was beautiful and packed full of flavor. The filling wasn't too sweet and there was just the right amount inside. I saved my cookie for a snack while I traveled home later that day. I love how it had chunks of sugared ginger on top. The cookie had the perfect amount ​of chew to it and the ginger on top added an extra burst of ginger. It was lovely. I'm so glad I found this cafe on Yelp and I highly suggest you pay them a visit. I'm still dreaming of all the pastries I didn't get to try. read more

I absolutely love their coffee and pastries! They actually serve D'Mello coffee and I absolutely love it! Their pastries are really good as well. A bit on the pricier side but it makes sense because it's in Bisha. read more

Decided to get a drink nearby as I was in the area. Stumbled upon this cafe that had really promising reviews! I decided to get my go-to which is the matcha latte. Matcha Latte: It was alright, had better matcha at other cafes. I modified afterwards to add some honey and brown sugar as it was a bit bitter even with modifications it was alright. I feel like for the quality and price point it wasn't that special. There were some seating indoors but it is quite limited. Most of their seating is outdoors. There were some pastries but didn't try them. Maybe I got the wrong drink that they don't specialize in and ended up being a meh experience to me. read more

This Cafe is located inside the hotel bisha. There's an amazing variety of pastries that are fresh made everyday, as well as coffee from de mello. The barista was very friendly and greeted us warmly. We got a latte and iced Americano, as well as their butter croissants. The croissants were laminated perfectly and the inside was airy and well distributed. Unfortunately there isn't a lot of seating inside, but you can either go out to the patio or sit inside the hotel lobby which is attached to the cafe. read more

While in Toronto, we stayed at the Le Germain Hotel on Mercer St. and this coffee shop was literally down the block. It took less than 5 minutes walking to get to it. They have a ton of coffee choices, we chose the Americano, it reminded us when we were in Europe in 2019. You can't go wrong with this coffee shop. They also have great looking pastries. read more

Really enjoyed this spot as I was staying at Bisha Hotel, to which it is attached. Service was fast and it was easy to pick up a coffee and pastry. They have a beautiful small selection of sweets and viennoiserie and baked goods. All looked delightful. Coming from the US, my expectations for a croissant were high-that is, it's hard to find a good croissant in USA. Their croissant was fantastic-light, airy, crispy, buttery. It did not disappoint. Cappucino was also just right. The little pod they have out on the street to sit in and be sheltered a bit from the cold and construction going on is really nice. They even had blankets in there if you wanted to cozy up. Great spot for a quick bite. read more

Great design coffee shop. I like the simple sign of the shop. The patio outside is cozy just dont mind the Toronto construction cause that big time. This is a busy street so, it's somewhat " loud " For a coffee shop, their sounds are more party than cozy. But I guess that's the music of their target consumer. cafe americano is decent, it's okay. I have a better experience than what I have read in the thread. Cappuccino- the same, it's good too. Like anyone who brew their own coffee and have numerous machine at home, this is quite decent. The service is - just like every coffee shop. Normal read more

French Made - At the entrance - Cafes Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Deeeelicious! We were staying at the Bisha Hotel next door and they suggested we pop in. Wish we would have done so before my last day in town because the croissant & chai latte were divine. Let's not even get started on the spectacular selection of pastries & baked goods assembled in the vitrine where you wait in line... I was SO tempted to order 1 of everything. Really! Think Raspberry Croissants, Toasted Coconut & Date Coffee Cake, Cheese + Herb Scones, Strawberry Danish... I was drooling! Can't wait to come back & give in to my deepest, darkest patisserie desires! read more

French Made - Zoom in & marvel at all the delicious goodies! - Cafes Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Popped in here with a friend after we had brunch at a nearby spot. The signage is small so it's easy to miss, but you won't regret it once you open the doors to this cute spot. It's on the ground floor of the Bisha hotel. First up - it's a small space, hardly any room for in cafe seats, but we luckily managed to grab a spot. They have many options for pastries- everything from cheesecake to scones, even some sandwiches and salads. Obviously given the name you can expect the Parisian flair cafe experience (not sure if they have some patio seating in the summer) , and their coffees are De Melo blends, some custom. Great service and honestly...all the pastries looked delectable! read more

Good option for coffee and pastries for those on the go. I ordered the latter but do not feel like there was as much depth of flavor in the coffee as a few other places that I've tried in Toronto. The pastries were good, flaky and fluffy so I would come back for these again. Coffee- 3/5 Pastries- 4/5 Overall- 3.5/5 so I rounded up to 4/5 read more

Perfect cappuccino with oat milk and blueberry scone was perfect. Airy, fresh and not too sweet. We also ordered the chocolate banana bread. Was chewy, so I recommend not getting that. Cute vibe and downstairs from the street so easy to miss. Inside a hotel so open for longer hours. read more

French Made is a super cute coffee shop. I was meeting a friend at an adjacent hotel and had a few extra minutes. I stopped in for a quick vanilla chai and enjoyed it outside on their patio. French Made is snug but seems to have a really great location amongst a bustling location. I'm not from the area but could tell immediately their real estate on Blue Jays Way is probably precious to them. They technically also identify as part of the Bisha Hotel. French Made also served delicious looking croissants, pastries and other treats. If I were staying at the Bisha or in this neighborhood, I definitely could have visited here more than once. I liked the atmosphere, the deep royal blue color palette of their vibe, and how oddly relaxing it was sitting on their patio amongst a busy stretch of town. Very cool! read more

Great little gem hidden off the beaten path! Came here for a quick breakfast and really enjoyed it! The breakfast sandwich was delicious, a little spicy which I loved! The bread was super fresh and definitely get it toasted! My party enjoyed their blueberry scone, almond croissant, yogurt parfait and chia seed pudding. I got a chai latte which was delicious! The service is stellar too. Super sweet! And I love the vibe, totally felt like I was in France! Would definitely come back! read more

If you're going to buy one worthy pastry in this place - pick the almond croissant. I'm always on the lookout for the best almond croissant amongst the plethora of bakeries in Toronto. I have tried and eaten a lot of them so I can confidently recommend French Made's almond croissant. Although it doesn't have enough sliced almonds on top, it has a good balance of sweetness, nuttiness, flakiness and buttery goodness in every bite. Almond-wise, the croissant was laced with almond cream filling or frangipane which will send an almond-gasm in every bite. It's expensive compared to the average almond croissant in Toronto, but totally worth it. Be forewarned that there's a slim chance of snagging this scrumptious pastry if you go after 9 am. They sell fast and they make only limited quantity, so it's better to go early if you want to get one. Tried their other pastries as well but just so so: Pain Au Chocolat - very crumbly and not a great amount of chocolate inside. Pistachio Lemon Loaf - very disappointed in this as I love pistachio. Cake is dry and not lemony enough. Hazelnut Paris Brest - Choux pastry is soggy and not crispy. Hazelnut praline creme/custard inside tasted bland and not buttery enough. For almost $8, I wouldn't buy this again. Coffee and other drinks is also nothing to swoon about, almost everything here is overpriced. If not for the almond croissant, I wouldn't even have a reason to visit this place again. read more

3.5 Not a bad spot for coffee at all. The street is a bit noisy though which doesn't make the patio vibe as nice. It's a cute shop but not much space inside for the line or to sit down. It's also a bit on the pricier side. The desserts didn't really appeal to me that much so I decided to pass. They have some croissants, macarons, cakes etc. Coffee itself was quite good, I believe De Mello coffee beans used. A bit too far off the subway lines for me to walk so would only venture in again if I was in the area. read more

Great spot for pastries! I came here several times on a recent weekend trip to Toronto. I love their variety of loafs and especially liked the pecan coffee cake and spiced carrot loaf. The seating inside is pretty limited, just a couple of counter seats and a table. read more

Always a hit! I've been here a few items and always had good experience with the service, coffee and bakery items. I've tried Americano a few items, it has consistent flavour and made perfectly! The bakery items are mostly gourmet and priced on higher side. The indoor seating is limited, but they have a nice patio during the summer. read more

Cute little cafe tucked under a hotel. Very very hard to find but worth going vs going to Starbucks. Had a croissant and a cappuccino. Very tasty croissant and the cappuccino was good too. Took one star off as I wasn't too pleased to see flies in the food display case and they were all over the food for quite a while. The staff were friendly but barely acknowledged us when we got there and we were confused by the setup of the counter. We were basically standing on the wrong side of the counter for a good 5 minutes before we realized we had to go around to order. In the meantime they just stared at us without letting us know we were at the wrong side. Nevertheless, the croissant was still delicious read more

My friend and I wanted to go to a cafe that was close to the Union station and open til late, so that we can drink coffee and catch up. We found this place on Google search and we had a great time! We were happy that it was open til 8 p.m., as our work ends around 5 p.m. The name of the place was not very visible, so we missed it a few times. Finally, we found it and went inside. A young man and a young lady greeted us when we entered. There were lots of yummy pastry goods and a good variety of cold and hot drinks available. We were not sure which pastry to order, so we asked for the young lady's help to narrow down our choices. I got a pistachio lemon loaf (it was about the size of two stacked Mars bars, $4.50) and a small chai latte. My friend ordered the same pastry and a small tea. We enjoyed the loaf- it was lightly sweet, a hint of lemon and pistachio mixed with the softness of the loaf was lovely. We also enjoyed our drink, we wished that the size was larger. We ordered small drinks, but the amount that we got looked extra small. Considering that we paid over $4 for each drink, we were expecting more. As other Yelpers mentioned, the price is steep- the pastry items start at $3.50 and drinks start at $3.75. If you're going to order a drink, go for a larger size as the size you'll get will be smaller than what you expect. The patio is set up right outside, so we enjoyed our food and drink. Although we were in Toronto, we felt like we were far away for a few minutes! Check this place out the next time you're looking for a good place to sit, eat, and chat or relax. read more

Unimpressive cappuccino, unimpressive service. I didn't have anything to eat but I have to say that the desserts look good, they were out of some of the cookies (including the chocolate chunks one I would have tried), I think there are better coffee offerings in the area. read more

This little unassuming coffee shop in Toronto was one of my first stops before even reaching my hotel room and it was adorable. There was a great selection of both coffee and tea. And in addition there were some food choices that were either healthy or decadent so you honestly couldn't go wrong. Something for everyone and not overpriced. I ended up frequenting the shop every other morning on my stay as it was conveniently just outside the Bisha hotel. I think what made this place a highlight of my trip was honestly the people. They were friendly and welcoming every visit. I'd love to come back. read more

I live in the building since 2017 and the cafe produces we're never good every single time I went. No joke. Everything look good but yet everything taste burnt. From a croissant to a mousse like this one. You can literally taste the burnt caramel and it's awful. It's like if they don't even bother tasting it before giving this to the customers. I am french myself and I do not consider this place a French bakery. To the garbage again. read more
