La La Bakeshop makes a quietly persuasive case for the Vietnamese patisserie in the heart of the downtown core. The baking is confident and precise: pastries that are delicate rather than heavy, with sweetness kept on a short leash so that pandan, taro and salted egg are allowed to speak for themselves. The drinks are the genuine revelation, inventive without ever tipping into novelty, and every bit as accomplished as the display case promises. The room is bright and unfussy, though the seats are claimed early and held long, so arrive with patience or plan to take yours away. A thoroughly worthwhile stop, and one I recommend without hesitation.
LÀ LÁ Bakeshop on Bay Street, a modern Vietnamese bakery offering a wide range of cakes, croissants, buns, bánh mì, and specialty drinks, all made with flavours like pandan, jasmine, salted egg, taro, and Vietnamese coffee; that are usually lighter and less sweet than typical pastries in other bakeries. The staff are very friendly and the shop is bright and cozy, with a clean, minimalist feel and stays open daily from morning to evening. We ordered from their March March selection: "Tofu Pudding Matcha Latte", "Pistachio Cream Raspberry Matcha Latte", "Matcha Pandan Mini Cake", "Matcha Jasmine Bun" and "Durian Salted Egg Croissant" from their regular menu. The Tofu Pudding Matcha Latte was smooth and comforting, and the Pistachio Cream Raspberry Matcha Latte had a nice balance of nutty and fruity flavors that made it feel special. For pastries, the Matcha Pandan Mini Cake and Matcha Jasmine Bun were soft, fragrant, and not too heavy, which we really liked. The Durian Salted Egg Croissant was the most unique one; rich, bold, and perfect if you enjoy those classic Southeast Asian flavours.
Can't say enough good things about this place. Everything I ate was delish -- and had to take the aesthetic cake to go to share with my partner! Well made pastries. Solid lunch banh mi option. Perfectly packaged cake cube. 10/10 could spend the whole day there. Go early to get a seat! It's a lot of students studying -- so if you want to do some focus heads down work fuelled by sugar and carbs, this is the spot.
Their pastries and drinks are good the interior looks nice as well and there are a good number of seats available but at least when we went it was super hot and humid inside and they seemed to not have AC. We got the iced jasmine lattes they were ok. The staff were friendly as well.
This is a Vietnamese cafe/bakery.They make excellent Vietnamese teas/coffees, pastries, and cakes. This latest location is now considered their flagship location. It is in Toronto's downtown core. They opened this after opening one in Vietnam. They brought back to Canada the newest versions and enhanced all their existing offerings with enhanced/more ingredients and made them more visually appealing. I ordered the following: 1. Taro Lava Bun ($5.25). 2. Durian Iced Coffee (iced $8.25). 3. Banana Peanut Butter Latte (hot $6.50). 4. Pistachio Raspberry Cake Box ($12.75). The bun has tasty taro cream inside. So delicious. The Durian Iced Coffee had a good amount of fresh durian meat on top of pandan foam; a great taste combination! You need to eat the durian with a fork or spoon! The Banana Peanut Butter Latte was amazing, with some many different ingredients. The flavour mixture worked well together. I could tell the banana mixture and the peanut butter were fresh; there were even little pieces of crushed peanuts. The Cake Box was so pretty and vibrant with a 3D look. I will eat this later. There is free self-serve water. They also sell merch: tote bags, hat, tumbler, mug. There are merchandise from Vietnam: jams, coffee, and tea. The store is their biggest stores with adequate seating. The interior is modern and minimalist, with a few whimsical stickers on the walls. There is easy-listening Vietnamese music playing in the background. They even have a floor to ceiling selfie mirror! There is free WiFi. The cafe is wheelchair accessible. There are two gender-neutral washroom which is also wheelchair accessible, but without door-open buttons. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-249
A truly innovative fusion café with a constantly evolving menu that keeps things exciting. The combinations of exotic fruits, rich creams, and floral bouquet teas are incredibly creative and beautifully balanced. Brian's hands-on involvement really shows in the thoughtful, one-of-a-kind experience they've created. Magical flavors--absolutely love LaLa!
Friendly staffs, beautiful display case with names and prices easy to see. There are seats, could be tiny bit tight, but traffic is nonstop. We got the salted egg mini cake with pork floss, and the longan jasmin mini cake. Highly recommend the longan cake - light, airy, not too sweet. The salted egg mini cake, hint hint from the name is salty - way more than I like and felt off balance where any sweetness from the cake didnt come through. Still I would recommend trying everything from this shop as they've perfected beautifying how each item is displayed and I will return again to try other items.
La La Bakeshop located along Bay St. near Gerrard is a Vietnamese-inspired bakery. They actually have another shop in Scarborough, one in Waterloo, another in NYC and then lastly in Ho Chi Min, Vietnam. Their first ever location was originally located in the Annex along Bloor, however, that location is now closed with the Bay St. location being their Toronto flagship store. Having been to La La Bakeshop may times before, their new Toronto cafe is a great addition to their existing stores. Now customers can enjoy a sit down experience, enjoying their freshly made to order coffee and beverage creations and desserts. On their drink list they have offerings like durian iced coffee, banana peanut butter latte, the classic Vietnamese iced coffee, tangerine jasmine cold brew, raspberry pistachio cold foam, longan jasmine milk tea, a banana salted caramel matcha latte as well as your usual classic espresso based drinks. The drink menu is impressive and you can keep trying new things on the menu if want to be adventurous. Food wise, the cafe has a variety of sweet and savoury croissants (pistachio, durian, butter garlic, salted egg, egg and cheese, etc) as well as lava buns. For cakes they have your traditional circular cakes but also their cake boxes are popular as well (think longan jasmine, tangerine jasmine, durian, coconut pandan sticky rice, matcha pandan tiramisu...). So many unique Asian inspired flavours! The cafe space is bright and beautifully designed. There are smaller tables, larger rectangular tables, as well as a communal table when you enter the cafe. There is wifi available and you are free to use your laptop to work or study there during the day. I stopped by La La Bakeshop twice already since they opened on Nov 30th! First time I stopped by on their opening day in the afternoon and the cafe was packed. Many people were enjoying their beverages as well as treats. I was able to get a cake box as well as a croissant to go as well as chatted with one of the co-owners, Brian. The second time I went shortly after 8am for breakfast where I ordered an iced Vietnamese coffee with pandan foam and a salted egg croissant. The iced coffee was great with the delicious pandan foam. Going early in the morning was nice and peaceful as well since the cafe wasn't crowded at all. Always love the treats at La La Bakeshop and my favourites has to be the garlic cream cheese bun, coconut pandan sticky rice, the matcha pandan tiramisu, and....hopefully they will bring back the banh mi croissant (was at their now closed Annex location before). I also heard that they will be bringing their banh mis back soon!! Service wise, the staff are friendly and always smiling, working hard to make sure all the customers are satisfied. They are all still trying to get the hang of things so it may take a few minutes for your drink to be made, but other than that they are nice and friendly! Overall, a beautiful addition to the Bay/Gerrard area for Vietnamese-inspired goodies! Can't wait to be back to try more drinks as well as baked goods.
Stopped in for a bite and got a sandwich and a croissant because on Wednesday they had a BOGO 50% off offer. The coconut croissant was really nice and the sandwich was great. I ordered it spicy but it was pretty mild. I am excited to come back and try more of the menu.
Cute little place. Pretty interesting menu. Great customer service. The menu is Asian inspired with the Pandan, Dorian, and sticky rice options. They also serve Bahn Mi sandwiches. The ham and cheese croissant had a surprising cream cheese filling. Even though it was sweet, it actually was pretty good landing into that salty sweet flavor. The jasmine Matcha latte was really good. Very interesting combination that I have to try back home. I don't think adding the sticky rice to a bun was such a good idea.
Can taste the durian since they put a small chunk on top but there is this weird salty ness at the end which is a bit weird but overall tastes good. However, it is quite pricey for this small cake
Beautifully artistic cakes and pastries. Got the longan jasmin and durian mini cakes - both were light and delicate, though I preferred the stronger and more differentiated flavour of the durian. Bonus points for how elegant the space is.
Coffee is amazing, would get this again! It's strong and flavorful and the inside is super cute :)
The fact that they have durian already tells me this place is so legit. Came in for their matchas only to come back the next day to get the durian layered cake and durian iced coffee. Have to rave about this place because the quality and the taste is amazing. So affordable and so tasty! Staff is so friendly. Definitely will come back. Plenty of seats and space, but there's only one bathroom. read more
The BEST thing I ate while I was in Toronto was here! It was the salted egg and pork floss bun - which was the perfect balance of sweet and savory. My girls and I had a few other pastries and drinks but this was the standout for me. Definitely would come back when I'm in town! Please consider Chicago if you ever look at expanding! read more
Needing a place to work on a Friday in July, Yelp directed me to La La Bakeshop, an Asian bakery with unique pastries. Clearly popular, there was a line, but it moves quickly. Hungry for lunch, I ordered their corn hot dog croissant, pistachio lava bun, and iced pistachio pandan latte. Every dish was very flavorful. If you love hot dogs and corn, the croissant is amazing! The texture of the pistachio lava bun is spot on. They have places to sit and wi-fi. read more

I've gone here twice now, and I love the selection of mini cakes! I haven't gotten to try the drinks yet but the cakes are a must try especially for people looking for specific Asian flavours like pandan and durian! I must say the seats are usually completely taken when I arrive, so come early read more

The food was fantastic! Unique flavors, amazing texture, and aesthetically pleasing presentation. The service was very good as the workers were kind and accommodating. The atmosphere is nice, but very crowded, a little small, and minimal seats. I would come here to work or read, though. read more

The cakes and pastries are gorgeous and aesthetic. The tangerine cake was okay for me. I have to try more of the menu to be honest. The Lala Latte is amazing. The regular latte was meh. Service was fine. The interior and seating area is nice. It does get busy for them and there are students studying since its near U of T. So can be hard to find seating. read more

Beautiful pastries and clean pretty atmosphere. I got the banana cinnamon roll which they warmed up. It was ooey and gooey and delish, not overly sweet! I also got the la la latte which was a nicely made latte that was the perfect sweetness. Staff was super friendly and welcomed me in! read more
