    6in Vietnamese coffee tiramisu
    Christine C.

    We always look forward to celebrating milestones, birthdays, and everything in between cakes from Là Lá Bakeshop! Even our parents have given it the "not too sweet" stamp of approval! There's just so much durian fruit inside, and it's perfectly ripe and custardy. The Vietnamese coffee tiramisu is equally good! We've had long debates about which cake is the best one, lol. Their customer service has always been so incredibly great, and they deserve all the business they're getting. Definitely recommend!

    I heard that there was a Vietnamese own bakery in Toronto so I had to try it! If you're a fan of Durian, then I highly recommend the durian cake just because it is a Durian lovers dream. There were actual chunks of durian in the cake and it matched so well with the cake. The Logan cake was in the lighter side of flavor but still very good. I wish I lived in Toronto so I could try more flavors.

    I tried the pastries here for the first time recently and really enjoyed the aesthetic of the bakery! the cakes were so cute. I ordered the lava buns and thought they were so cute! they were a little small but the flavors were so cool! I really like the Creme Brulee flavor .

    Roll Cakes, Tiramisu, and Chocolate Yule Logs (special for Christmas)

    LA LA Bakeshop is a modern Vietnamese bakery with a few locations in the GTA. They serve a variety of baked goods infused with East Asian flavours such as pandan, coconut, durian, taro, matcha, and salted egg yolk. They usually have seasonal items such as holiday-themed cakes (for Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's Day, etc.), such as the Chocolate Yule Log for Christmas (which is very pretty and cutely decorated). Some of their most popular and best-selling items include Durian Supreme Cake, Matcha Pandan Tiramisu Cake, Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu Cake, Salted Egg Cake, Taro Lover Cake, and the variety of croissants. In addition to full-size cakes, they also serve mini cakes and buns (individual-portioned) such as the Coconut Sticky Rice Mini Cake, Taro Ube Mini Cake, Crème Brûlée Lava Bun, and Matcha Lava Bun. It's a great bakery option for those looking for Asian flavours, especially because Asian baked goods tend to be less sweet and some have savoury components (e.g. Bánh Mì Croissant, Roasted Seaweed Roll Cake, Salted Egg Cake / Croissant). For drinks, they offer different kinds of milk tea, Vietnamese coffee, and coconut coffee. Service is quick and friendly. It's mainly a take-out place and you can pre-order online or by calling ahead of time, and schedule a time for pick-up. They do limited in-house delivery, but it can fill up quickly (especially during busy holiday season).

    The chocolate lava bun was to DIE FOR. WOW. You could taste the quality of the cocoa they used to make the chocolate molten filling. Warmed up the bread was soft and pillowy and the insides became liquid gold. Crème brûlée bun was just the same but would be ideal for vanilla lovers. You'd definitely have to love chocolate to enjoy the chocolate bun because it was soooo rich and deep in flavor. Also tried the Vietnamese tiramisu which was good but it tasted like any traditional tiramisu admittedly. I loved that the ratio of cream was higher than the ladyfingers. The garlic cream cheese bun was very sweet and packed with cream cheese. Not my favorite but nice.

    LA LA Bakeshop is a modern Vietnamese bakery selling delicious baked goods, cakes, desserts, and even drinks. Located near Bloor and Spadina, this small shop is a haven for anyone who wants to try something unique. The shop is primarily takeout although there are a few spots to sit at to enjoy your items. I've been to LA LA Bakeshop numerous times and love all their offerings! The banh mi croissant is definitely a favourite (it's as good as it sounds). The roll cakes are a mix of savoury and sweet which is interesting (in a good way!). Definitely unique and something I've never tried before. Their garlic cream cheese bun is also heavenly. Their mini cakes are amazing as well (recommend the matcha pandan tiramisu and the coconut sticky rice mini cake). They also recently started selling bottled drinks as their Scarborough location has drinks made to order. The Vietnamese coffee is good and the Jasmine milk tea has a strong tea flavor. Overall, definitely recommend checking out this place! Unique baked items and desserts with an Asian twist.

    Croissant Banh Mi, Viet Coffee

    I was so ecstatic to find out that this Vietnamese Bakery opened in Mississauga. I've been a fan of this place since I visited their Bloor location. The people working at the stall are helpful and the service to get your pastries and cakes is quick. Just a disclosure the place is inside Ocean Supermarket and they're right in front of the entrance. The flavour of Viet coffee is very potent and durian and coconut are my favourites. I'm also a fan of their Banh Mi Croissant as a perfect savoury quick bites. I recently tried their Taro sliced cake and that was amazing. A very light creamy cake with a taro flavour bomb. The seaweed roll cake is very interesting as it has sweet to salty components.

    Finally got to pick up a couple desserts from La La after having this placed bookmarked for a while! I came around 10:30am and their showcase was almost filled with all their goodies. I picked up their coconut sticky rice and durian cake - both $14 each. I found their coconut sticky rice cake was good with a pretty strong coconut flavour. I enjoyed the sticky rice at the bottom which added more texture and bounce to the overall dessert. For the durian cake, it was good too - reminds me of my childhood. However, for both cakes I felt that the pandan chiffon cake had very muted pandan flavour. The cake itself is green and with the subtle pandan flavour, I feel they use food colouring. The cakes were both nice treats but for the price point, I felt it was just OK. I also got a slice of the salted egg roll cake with pork floss and was not a huge fan of the savoury and sweet concept however I appreciate the creativity behind this dessert. La La's baked goods are certainly beautiful and creative and I would definitely try them again in the future. Service was nice.

    Everyone in the family loved the durian cake! We tried the Daan Go durian cake and needed a change. This was even better and we were super glad we gave it a try. The cake was super creamy with lots of durian pieces in the middle. The bakery is super cute and it has a very cozy vibe. You can tell they put a lot of thought in their menu and space. They have so many unique cakes and buns. The happy birthday sign they gave us is also really unique. It's a bit far from home but I definitely will be back! I want to try their salted egg yolk cake next.

    I visited La La Bakeshop back in September when they first opened and it has been one of my favourite Vietnamese bakery spot in Toronto! This #veryasian bakery is one of many Asian businesses in the GTA that is proudly embracing Asianess along with the support of the Asian community in the GTA. They recently opened a new location located in Sky City Plaza in Scarborough!!! Items featured - Vietnamese coffee tiramisu ($14) ~ classic tiramisu with Vietnamese coffee - Durian mini cake ($14) ~ layers of pandan chiffon cake filled with sauce containing real durian and topped with their signature custard - Coconut sticky rice ($14) ~ layer of coconut sticky rice, pandan chiffon cake and topped with delicious coconut sauce and shavings - Salted egg and cream cheese pork floss cake - Lava cream cheese ~ filled with cream cheese sauce and topped with pork floss and cheese powder - Scallion and cured sausage ($3.80) ~ soft and fluffy bread filled with sweet & savoury custard and then rolled and coated with pork floss, scallion and cured chinese sausage - Bahn mi croissant ($6.80) ~ classic Vietnamese bahn mi with a twist: croissant!

    Roasted seaweed roll cake
    Chloe O.

    Roll cake : Salty & savory Pork floss, sweet & runny custard, melt in your mouth roll cake. This harmony of all flavours & textures made me savour every single bite. Salted egg roll cake($6.25) slice vs. roasted seaweed roll cake($5.25). Other than different topping of salted egg in the sauce & crumber / roasted seaweed. They tasted like they had same roll cake & custard cream. I did not tasted strong salted egg flavour maybe it was already mixed with salty pork floss? Next time I will probably pay $1 less for roasted seaweed roll cake. Snack size Bahn Mi Croissant was spreaded with yummy patê, a good quality pork sausage & crunchy cucumber slice. Was not sure how they pickled cucumber so perfectly. Another sweet & savory treat! As advised, I heated up in my air fryer for a couple of minutes, had it slightly warm. It was perfect. Durian Mini Cake : also enjoyed real durian sauce with pandan cake, topped with butter custard. It had a good amount of durian flavour. La La celebrated their one year anniversary with 20% off promo & free tote bag and I happily enjoyed all the goodies I picked up from them. Sincerely friendly service was provided and loved yellow color decor of bakery. So cute!

    Had the pandan bun. It was light & fragrant with pandan flavour despite having no filling.

    Have been following them on Instagram since they've opened. Been meaning to try this place out for a while, although it's a shame I haven't physically been to the store (hoping to do so soon) my friend was kind enough to swing by and pick up a few pastries for himself and grab me a mini cake as well. I'm a huge fan of anything that is sticky rice, pandan and durian, I usually don't have a chance to come across Vietnamese desserts often so when I do I'm always looking forwards to anything that catches my eyes. My friend got me the coconut sticky rice mini box cake ($14 CAD). Packaging was really nice, plastic box which clearly displays the layers of ingredients along with a nice and simple sticker (great gifting ideas if you're ever looking to gift something to a foodie). From bottom to top it consisted of sticky rice, chiffon pandan cake and topped with a coconut sauce and coconut shavings. Taste wise, I wish the pandan in the chiffon was stronger, to me it just tasted like a regular chiffon cake but dyed green. The coconut sauce wasn't so sweet which was good. I'm not a huge fan of coconut but it was pretty tolerable. Sticky rice wasn't too bad, it was green and I was wondering if it was also flavored with pandan, if so then that would be a shame because I couldn't taste any pandan. Overall it was a nice try, I probably wouldn't buy it myself cause it is a bit steep in terms of pricing/size. Hoping I'll have another friend that will gift me some durian cakes from there in the near future lol.

I ordered the bun bo hue, pho, and spring rolls. The bun bo hue tasted more like a spicy pho broth, and the pho reminded me of the broth at the Michelin recommended restaurant on Ossington. Overall, the bun bo hue and spring rolls were just okay, nothing special. The pho was good if you're looking for something simple. They also put a large piece of beef tendon in the pho, which I loved! One thing I didn't like was that the owner seemed to be rushing us to order, which felt a bit off putting.

This really is soul food when you're feeling sick. My one quarrel with this place is the extremely small wide of their "large soup bowls" this is just terrible. I wish they would just go back to a regular large bowl of soup. This is the smallest "large" pho soup size I've had just about anywhere I've been. Honestly amazing place, but the portion of the soup really really irks me. Also the fried spring rolls are a must try! Incredible every single time.

    They have 5 types of dry noodles with pork tossed with sauce, which is super hard to find as a dish…read more(even if you look for similar dishes in Singaporean, Malaysian, Thai and Cambodian cuisines). The dry noodle dishes under the green column use egg noodles & those under the brown use rice noodles but the toppings & sauce are the same. The most pricey rice noodles are Japanese but otherwise the difference is width. Got the thin egg noodle version in large. It's recommended to add pickled garlic & red vinegar. The soup was pretty tasty with a natural sweetness, 2 springy half fishballs & a large, very fresh shrimp. The sauce was basically oyster sauce but pickled garlic, red vinegar, hoi sin & chili sauce were available to add complexity. The noodles weren't wet but were not dry either. Large was a very big bowl it came with minced pork, thin sliced pork beansprouts & greens. The pickled garlic was good. Also got a shrimp fritter on the side for $2.50. It was big with one tiny shrimp. The juxtaposition was comical but it was cheap. It was not warm but the fritter was crispy & tasty. Unfortunately the shrimp itself was dry & brittle. Service was good, especially for an Asian place.

    How do I keep forgetting this place? They have been around forever, and I mean literally forever…read more Perhaps I overlooked because they don't fall into the usual perception of Viet food, but it's definitely genuinely and authentically, Viet! Right down to the non-white washed clientele. I'd always prefer to dine where the "locals" dine, and being in a multicultural city like Toronto, it's difficult to fine a hidden gem that hasn't been invaded by foreigners (I'm laughing inside because I'm not Viet and am disliking myself for being that invader; however, I can pass for a Viet if I just point to the table I want and the menu item I'd like ). So, please keep this place to yourself as I would hate to line up the next time I come.
