    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)
    Sel Z.

    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).

    Chocolate lava bun
    Samah I.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

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

    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!

    Grabbed the lava cream cheese bun with pork floss on top on a whim because I walked by and it smelled AMAZING on the inside. The bun was $6.50 and while it was super fluffy and had lots off cream cheese filling, I wouldn't say it's worth the price tag or that it would be a regular purchase for me. They also offer cakes in boxes for $9.50 with pretty interesting flavours and seem like they would make nice gifts or treats for a birthday picnic!

    I really enjoyed my visit at this Vietnamese restaurant located in Chinatown. If you go there on a…read moreweekend, get there before 8 PM to beat the rush. Food was excellent and service was accommodating. I had beef rib pho and complimentary warm tea. The sauce to go with the beef rib was quite good. I got the rest of the pho to go, as it was a huge serving. It was a bit of a challenge trying to put the contents of the huge bowl into the takeout containers and I imagine other people have this same issue. Will definitely be back. Next time I'd like to try their banh xeo and com sườn bì chả.

    Anh Dao located along Spadina Ave near Cecil St. (closest big intersection being College St.)…read moreserves up Vietnamese food in a casual space. They specialize in meat platters where you can create DIY fresh rolls. The platters come with lettuce, mints, vermicelli, rice paper and house special sauce. They also have pho, rice, and vermicelli dishes as well. Washrooms are located downstairs which are not accessible. They only accept cash (with a 10% cash discount) or debit. I previously have had Anh Dao for take out before - their pork sausages (nem nuong) are delicious and perfect when you wrap them with vermicelli and fresh herbs. Even when I got take out, the restaurant gives you plenty of fresh ingredients to create your own fresh rolls. I recently went to Anh Dao for lunch to dine in at the restaurant on a Friday around 12:30pm. The place was pretty quiet as it seemed like I was their first customer that day. During my time there, there was another party of 2 that also came in to eat lunch. I opted for the house special soup pho ($19.95). Service was friendly and my food came at a reasonable time after I ordered. The house special pho included slice rare beef, beef brisket, beef balls, and tripe. The soup was slightly sweet with a nuttier flavour. The noodles were unfortunately not the fresh kind but there were ample beef ingredients in the bowl of pho for the price you are paying. I love how in addition to siracha and hoisin sauce, there is also ground up chili sauce as well as a pickled sliced garlic and jalapeno pepper mixture at the table. Moreover, you get bean spouts, a red chili pepper, fresh herbs, and lime that you can add to your pho broth. Overall, a tasty bowl of pho where the quality of the beef was good. Anh Dao is a tasty option for Vietnamese food in the College and Spadina area. Definitely do try their meat platters as they are quite delicious!

I tried to finish the broth because it was so good. I would have given that first bowl 4 stars! Today was terrible! It just felt like a super water-downed broth that I didn't want to drink. Everything was just boiled and dumped in a water-downed soup base. The least they can do is use broth and dump it in the seafood tomato based soup. This was a 9pm dinner. They had their own family visiting to close up shop at 11. I tried asking them what happened to the broth today but they didn't speak English or just decided not to. It was disappointing for a bowl of $21 + tax noodle that was just pretty bland tonight even though it looked the part.... Sigh 2 stars today but couldn't average it out to 3 because now I remembered the spring rolls from the first visit were soggy Yes they are friendly but don't know if it's a place you should come before 7pm to catch the good broth?

    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.

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.
