I was excited when my friend introduced me to this exciting, authentic French bakery! Once I walked…read moreinside the smell of fresh baked goodies was wonderful! It took me a long time to decide on what I wanted because everything looked so delicious. I ended up getting a Butter Croissant $3.25, Pistachio Croissant $3.95, Kouign-Amann $3.75 and Sourdough Boule bread that was already sliced $5.45. The croissants were so deliciously flaky and buttery and especially loved the heavenly Pistachio Croissant that gave me a Foodgasm! I also loved the Sourdough Boule that was so flavourful and delicious when lightly toasted. I wished I knew the specific ingredients of the bread but couldn't find anything online. The service was fast and friendly. Definitely coming back!

Parking is a bit tight and chaotic, but I did notice a sign mentioning additional rear parking on weekends, which is helpful. Before even stepping inside, the patio caught my eye. Definitely a great spot for when the weather warms up. Inside, the space is thoughtfully laid out with a variety of seating options and shelves of packaged goods like coffee and cookies. As you move through the winding line, you pass by their fridge and freezer items (think ready-to-go meals like shepherd's pie and grab-and-go options like chia pudding), followed by freshly baked breads. Honestly, the hot honey pizza focaccia looked incredible! Last was the drink menu and their pastry display. It's the kind of setup where you can't help but look at everything. I went in knowing I wanted the iced banana matcha, and also picked up an almond croissant and a carrot walnut loaf. Service was friendly and welcoming. The iced banana matcha met my expectations based on what I'd heard. It's not the strongest matcha if you're a purist, but it leans more toward a dessert-style drink with really enjoyable flavors. It's definitely on the sweeter side, but even as someone who prefers "not too sweet," I still loved it. The almond croissant was beautifully flaky with a rich, flavorful filling, and I appreciated the generous amount of sliced almonds on top for added texture. The carrot walnut loaf was another standout. It was super moist and well-balanced, not overly sweet even with the icing. Overall, everything felt thoughtfully made and high quality. I just wish it were closer so I could visit more often. They have such an extensive menu, and I'd love to try more next time.

The profiteroles were filled with a lot of cream, not just a little bit. I loved it. It was a quality cream filling too, not just some kind of cheap whipped cream. And the fact that the temperature was cool somehow made it more enjoyable. Cool n sweet. Very refreshing. I would have to say my favorite was the Walnut cookie with cream in the middle. The Walnut cookie was slightly dense and chewy which was very satisfying. It also had a bit of a cardamom taste to it. The fact that you were eating a cookie spoke to your inner child and made you happy. The fact that it has cream between two cookies made you feel luxurious and the cardamom spice made you feel like you were an adult with refined tastes LOL. An all around great treat! I definitely recommend the shop and I will likely return.

There are currently 6 different flavours: Lindt Dark Chocolate, Lindt White Chocolate, Red Velvet Lindt White Chocolate, Lindt Milk Chocolate, Salted Caramel, and Nutella. My son tried 3 flavours and absolutely loved the Nutella. My favourites are White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, and Nutella. The quality of the cookies and ingredients are really good! Make sure you eat them fresh or warm them up a little. I ordered 8 medium cookies for only $12, a great price for quality cookies! You can also purchase 12 small for $12 and 5 large for $13.50. My cookies were customized with little red hearts because it is for Valentine's Day. The business is based in North York. Delivery is free in North York, but $5-$10 depending on distance; eg, downtown Toronto would cost $7. An option is to get frozen dough from them and bake it yourself!

Everything is sold by weight ($10/lb flat rate). My box of cookies came out to be a tad more than $15 after tax. There were at least 15 kinds of cookies in there. There were heart shaped cookies and flower shaped cookies and round cookies and Middle Eastern pastries, and cookies filled with jam, and cookies willed with cream, chocolate cookies, nutty cookies, etc. A lot of them weren't too sweet, which isn't a bad thing. I don't have a huge sweet tooth. A few reactions I got: 1) The cookie was like a solid balloon (looks hard on the outside, but totally airy and pillowy on the inside). 2) The cookie was super dry. 3) The cookie doesn't taste like anything. 4) Where did you get those cookies because I want to buy them. So yeah. All over the charts with these cookies. I'll probably be back to get some because they aren't expensive, and my dad seems to quite enjoy them.

We tried a large variety and overall everything tasted amazing. Some our personal favourites: Coconut cookie - so chewy and perfect texture The flaky pastries - so light and flaky and some chewy textures. Not overly sweet There were other stuff we really liked but I firget the names of them. The owners son was extremely helpful and friendly. He took the time to explain what each item and pointed out which were among the best sellers. Price is measured by weight and for all the variety we tried which was like 11 items it came to only $10.50 tax in. Wow.....what a sweet deal. Will be back again very soon.

Disappointing Quality - Not Worth the Price. I was really…read morelooking forward to trying Crown Pastry after a new opening in Ajax, but unfortunately my experience was very disappointing. I spent almost $100 on baklava and various sweets, expecting high-quality pastries that would last at least a couple of days. The first day they were mediocre at best, but the real issue became apparent the next day - everything had turned hard and dry. The baklava lost all its moisture and became nearly inedible. For the premium price I paid, I expected fresh pastries that would maintain their quality for more than 24 hours. I ended up having to throw most of it away, which felt like throwing $100 in the trash. Such a waste of money. I'm not sure if this was an off day or if there's an issue with how they store their products, but the quality simply wasn't there. I hate leaving negative reviews, but I hope the management takes this feedback seriously. At these prices, customers deserve pastries that stay fresh and delicious beyond the day of purchase.

Grapefruit Black Tea (4/5) was refreshing. A perfect drink to cool you down in the summer. It had citrus notes that were not too overpowering. Matcha Strawberry Latte (4/5) was enjoyable. You can really taste the matcha. It was complemented well by the sweetness and the strawberries. Iced Coffee (5/5) was great. Their coffee had a bold finish with a nutty note. We did find the grapefruit and the strawberry syrups/purees were too sweet so I suggest to ask the staff for a bit less if you're not a big fan of sweet drinks.

To add injury to insult, I was charged HST which si not applicable for any purchase on 6 or more items. On the same visit, I also bought melomakarona (cinnamon) cookies which were decent. Unfortunately, I also bought a pound of shortbread cookies of various selection priceed at $13.00 a pound and they were all stale.
