I went to the Mastermind across the street and had some time before needing to get home. Ma Maison is so small and unassuming. I noticed it while heading out of the plaza across the street. There's some parking on site and I managed to get a spot right in front. There is some seating here, but it's very limited. Ma Maison has sandwiches, prepared foods, baked goods and coffee/espresso drinks. On Saturday's, they sell out quickly so go early for a variety of items to choose from. The latte I got was very good and I enjoyed the raisin Danish. Good for: baked goods, prepared foods read more

Ma Maison - Specialty Food Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

Over priced and obnoxious. I strongly urge you steer clear. We made a special trip to this place and found disappointment around every corner. We ordered two ham and cheese croissants and 2 fruit tarts one peach and one blueberry and raspberry. The first few bites of the croissant work great. As we started working our way to the middle we both kept thinking oh this is really weird they must've put cream cheese or something strange in it. What we came to notice upon further dissection was that the croissant was just raw in the middle. There were sections that were just dough. It didn't make for the snack we had hoped for. But at least we still have the fruit tarts look forward to. After we finished dinner we had it for the fruit tarts. I will save you looked gorgeous on the outside which was part of the reason we are so excited for them. However the first bite in the illusion was ruined. The tarts were dry and the pastry was crumbly and over cooked. I have actually never had a fruit tart that was literally a dry basket with fruit piled on top. The blueberries were so sour we ended up having to pick them off and the raspberries were mush. As if the crumbly overdone pastry wasn't bad enough they didn't even bother to make sure the fruit was in good condition. This place really needs to up its game. I looked through the reviews and despite the fact that they were so so I decided to come here anyway. read more

Ma Maison - Fruit Tart - Specialty Food Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

Best Authentic French cuisine in Toronto, bar none!! Small place. Good for 2 people, or grab and go. They do a lot of catering. Superbe!! If you're looking for French breakfast food, order a tray of croissants, Petits Pain au chocolat, etc. I'm talking about French cuisine from France. Amazing! read more

A good French taste ! I had a wonderful afternoon experience at this shop. Warm and cozy ...

I'm a regular here! I will say the croissants are a bit overpriced but lovely. For me the prepared foods are what shine. Coq au vin, beef Bourgogne. Very very traditional, lovey French food. The sandwiches I crave all the time. Treat yourself! read more

Based on take out cake I would come back to this spot again. Space is tight and the food choices seemed decent. The selection of fruit tarts was decent and they all looked appetizing. We were here for cake pick up and we got two. The chocolate layer cake was very good and that alone is worth the detour. The other cake was OK and didn't quite do it for moi. Anyway will be back if I am in the area. 4 Stars. read more

Ma Maison - a variety of cakes on display - Specialty Food Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

A good expensive capuchino deserves a porcelain cup , it tastes better believe me. Why does people become so lazy and greedy. Please don't blame Covid. The baguets used to be so good before and the raisins buns, one could have separated them so easily with both hands. Now, it is like playing tug-of-war. It doesn't deserve to be expensive like when it was under the other owner. read more

A little pricey but everything we got was great! Latte and croissants were delicious. My opera cake tasted a bit "old"

This used to be my favourite place! Mainly because my dry-cleaners are next door - so it was super comfortable. What is the worst is their customer service! Mainly the French (Caucasian) girl who is there the longest out of staff in constant change. This Attitude that she believes is French, but it's just rude. A friend of mine stopped going there just because of her, as she would ruin his morning with her stupid attitude. Quality definitely downhill... ham & cheese croissant completely different than it used to be! Less cheese and more cream. Patisserie - DO NOT bother. In last couple of weeks we tried a few times for our work meetings - always stale and not fresh and mango cake... previously frozen!!!! despite claiming being fresh. read more

Treating customers not very nicely. Telling me that the baguette will be served at a certain time and then dismissing my request. If you tell me something , make sure you know what you are talking about. Obnoxious staff. The croissants were not very good, not buttered properly and dry. The opéra cakes and fruit tarte were old. Not caring about the customers and serving old cakes. Don't Buy from them. read more

Highway robbery on Dundas West! Slow service. Employees seem terrified by the owner. Prices not posted anywhere. They should because this place is pricy. Get ready to be surprised at the cash! Might be a french bakery, but why the french attitude? read more

I am a long time customer who has shopped at Ma Maison since they opened. The quality and consistency of their products have declined in the past few years with hits and misses along the way. Today was the final straw! The kouign amann we're tough, doughy and chewy and the ham and cheese croissants were not fresh. They were soft, mushy and greasy. Not the quality products I expected for the high price I paid. Also, the waiting staff need training in customer service. I will not be coming back. Valerie P. read more

Hands down best croissant in Toronto. Have not been to Ma Maison for about two-three years (and it was great then). Went today and wow. So good. Also got a quiche, a baguette and a tart all of which were amazing. This place is such a gem. I have been all over Europe and this is as good, if not better than the real thing. read more

This review is based on the atmosphere, location, & a chocolate croissant. More a café than bakery, all the items are tucked away, behind glass - even the croissants. No macaroons were in sight during my visit. Ma Maison is located in a small strip plaza, with limited parking, on a weird, non-residential strip of Dundas. Most of their traffic is probably from people driving. Since I was testing out croissants today - Patisserie Saint Honoré missed out since it's closed for renos?? - I opted for a chocolate croissant. It was quite average with 1 small tiny dollop of chocolate in the middle. Pastry could've used another fold as there weren't that many layers to it. Have definitely had better elsewhere! Due to location, café itself doesn't wanna make you sit there and enjoy your caffeinated beverage/pastry. This place may do better elsewhere, but the view from the window is yet another strip mall with mainstream stores. read more

Picked up a couple of regular croissants a chocolate an apple gallate a breakfast sandwich bacon egg on a croissant and a cappuccino. Friendly service. Croissants were so fresh.

Great service, especially the polite French speaking female staff but the prices are a bit higher than most. Nice ambience and great baked goods. It would be nice if they carried some fruits as well, or a few more healthy choices read more

Ma Maison - a cup of coffee next to a laptop - Specialty Food Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

Disappointed in the amount of gabage lined up along the back wall outside of the restaurant where customers park their cars. No screen on back door which is left open to the kitchen. Noticed a rat infestation as a result of the garbage. Will not be returning. read more

All I can say about their new Bloor St West location is that they seem to have opened too soon. The interior doesn't look like like a legit bakery yet. I arrived at 4pm on a weekday and there were only a few good selections to choose from under the glass, and the presentation of these foods was poor. There was no ambience of any kind yet. The young woman serving wasn't wearing a mask and they had the payment machine set up so that you were forced to touch the keys to answer the questions about tips. This made touchless Tap impossible. A disappointing visit but I know we're in strange times so I'm willing to give them time to get their act together. But they need to fix their payment machine to reflect these Covid-19 times! read more

Best French Croissant in Toronto! This is absolutely a hidden gem in Etobicoke. The first time I tasted the chocolate croissant in the store about two weeks ago, i had fallen in love with it. The croissants are flaky, fluffy, melting in the mouth. they taste exactly like the ones in France, no difference. Love it! Not to forget they also have a good selection of cakes, real fruit jams in cute jars on shelf, ready to eat soups, sandwiches, rich coffee/espresso/hot chocolate... you name it! I was surprised at how much food they can make in a relatively small restaurant like this, but definitely worth trying in the future. read more

This is one great little French cafe. There isn't much room but the food is delicious. They have a pretty large variety for a small place. Their croissants and baguettes are exactly like the ones in France. Went with a colleague and had a breakfast croissant - fluffy scrambled eggs and bacon inside with some parsley. The service is fast. Usually very crowded on the weekends. Will post photos the next time I go. I ate too quickly. read more

ok, service was a bit slow, but it was busy on a Sunday morning, as I would expect. Friendliness, not the best, but when I read some people think it is the new owner and the employees look afraid, not a good sign. And then someone seeing a rat? Well, don't know about that, but will be more alert next time. I did not have to park in the back before. All in all, I liked their baked goods very much. Not the best croissant I've had, but it is pretty much up there. Pricey, yes, but I hope, and find the product's taste confirms, that they use good products. I am willing to pay more for a good product. read more

Lots of people rave about the french bakery spots Bonjour Brioche, Frangiapane, Clafouti, Patachou and Pain Perdue but my fav spot around town is Ma Maison (located at 4243 Dundas St. W - Royal York, across from the Bruno's plaza). I work across the street and for the first few months at my office I frequented Java Joe's for my double Americano until it finally twigged I was on the wrong side of the street. I ventured in to Ma Maison and have never stopped going. The croissants, in particular the Almond croissant are absolute aorta chokers. Bread pudding is stellar as are all the fruit danishes, the madelines and the mini brioche buns. Prepared foods available to eat in (there are about six tables) are incredible. From cedar planked salmon to a Leek & Lobster quiche (you can pick a main and a side, prices range $6.50-$9.00). Mains vary from day to day. Side choices include things such a Wheatberry Salad, Glass Noodle Salad to creamy mashed potatoes. Daily soups are also available. The pastry case is homage to true French pastry with the clafouti styled tartes to the apple tartin. There is a take home cooler with boil in bags of such things as salmon with bok choy and veggies to Duck Confit. Chef/Owner Patrick Alleguede is a traditionally trained chef who lives,eats and breathes the french cuisine commitment. His true speciality though is charcuterie and his pates and terrines are delicious. Be ready for a wait. Service is sloooooooooooow. There seems to be an often large turnover in his counter staff which I think had more in part to do with his wife working behind the counter. I have found her to be about as warm as an iced cappucchino but Patrick more than makes up for it. Prices are stiff, this ain't a cheap take out place and servings are tiny but you do get absolutely stellar quality. As well I noticed they posted a note in the shop about not using any food which has production in China. By the way, you can buy the croissants frozen, proof them yourself over night and bake them at home. I did this for Christmas day, serving them at brunch, along with one of Patrick's unbelievable quiches and my family & guests practically worshipped me. Great spot for a morning coffee and a basket with a big hunk of baguette, jam & butter. read more

What a delight! I have driven by this shop for years, always promising myself I'd check it out. Very surprising interior, very french and cozy and lovely. We tried coffee and pastries - all very tasty and worth returning for. The baguette was crusty, fresh and delicious. Much better than average. They had prepared foods to take home as well as eat-in meal options. A great little find. read more

I had to order an egg free, dairy free cake for my daughter who was turning one and is allergic to those two things. The chef at Ma Maison was able to come up with a recipe that did not contain those two ingredients. Not only was he able to accommodate our special needs, he did not charge me extra for it. I called their restaurant to request a copy of their catering menu by email and it was promptly sent to me. Excellent, excellent service. I should also mentioned that the cake was delicious. The baby certainly enjoyed it. read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Ma Maison! It's the cutest little place with not only French pastries but lots of premade food such as cabbage rolls, boeuf bourguignon, roast chicken, tilapia filets, coq au vin, etc. On Fridays, they have pizza which would rival some of the best pizza joints out this way. One of personal favourites is their chocolate croissants - it's like heaven on earth! My colleague and I went one day to grab some lunch and decided to pick up some danishes and croissants to take back for our other colleagues. They too were in heaven and said that the croissants were the best they've tasted in their lives! It's true French cuisine at its finest. read more

Ma Maison - If only Yelp had Smell-O-Vision ... this pizza was divine. - Specialty Food Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

It's always pleasant to be greeted in French. Bonjour ! Madam offers a cafe of deliciousness, a hidden gem of French delight to eat in or take out. I wish I had a cafe like connected to my house so to always have access to their food. I had the lady make a smoked salmon sandwich special order just for me with a side of cucumber salad. $11 with tax and the food comes with better service than a Parisian cafe. read more

I am done! I have been a customer for 10+ years and have watched the quality steadily decline. Look no further than the burnt bread on the shelves. They don't even seem interested in customer feedback. Sad to see the decline of a neighbourhood tradition. read more

Very cozy atmosphere with a few tables, has a shelf of homemade jams, soups etc. that I am always curious about because people's inspiration can come from the most obscure places and now it's in your hands. This place has more high end desserts that are clearly more intricate in terms of execution and very appealing to the eye. They know it's important to cleanse your palette when you're indulging in different flavours, so there's a self serve water station which is something so small, but I always appreciate. read more

Passed by this place while driving and finally had to give it a try. The staffs are friendly and they speak French and English. For the longest time I almost gave up on finding amazing croissants in Toronto. My favourite croissants has that flakey crispy melt in your mouth feeling. I can find them in France but also in Montreal. Before I found Ma Maison I used to go to Crema for croissants and latte but since ma Maison is close to the studio where I work I decided to give it a try. The croissants are gooooood!! My favorite is the plain one and the almond chocolate one. They also serve good coffee and latte. Their breakfast croissant is amazing as well wih scrambled eggs tomato and bacon for only $5.75. Very reasonable, they also serve a lot of hot food but I am a bit hesitant for now since the prices for those are on then higher end. If the other items were cheaper this place would be given 5 stars. Location could also be better since it's in a strip mall. However I think this place would have line ups or could be way too busy if it was in a different location so I kinda like it as it is like my secret croissant getaway! read more

Love love this bakery/cafe! They have amazing baguettes and a few times for wine and cheese nights, we have hit up this bakery for their delicious and very affordable baguettes. My husband and I have also come in for breakfast and our morning coffee on the weekends. Their French pastries are amazing. Definitely recommend their croissants and berry pastries. They also have fancier French desserts, macaroons and cakes, some of which we have sampled. Very rich cakes with beautiful presentation. Their cappuccino is decent too. I've yet to try some of their savoury goods, but everything in Ma Maison looks absolutely delicious! Definitely one of our go to spots! read more

Ma Maison - Cappuccino, chocolate Danish pastry, chocolate hazelnut mousse cake and a chocolate eclair. Incredible treats! - Specialty Food Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

The staff here honestly make the experience. I went here to grab something for lunch today and was so pleased with my experience. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I wasn't sure what to get but the staff were quick to answer my questions. I asked what was in the quiche and a woman told me there was cheese and bacon. I mentioned that I'm a vegetarian and she quickly offered me the vegetable quiche. I ended up getting it and it was delicious. The food here is pricey but the quality is reliable and the staff are wonderful. read more

This place is a much better option than the coffee shop in the plaza, considering they make their own menu items. I would also classify this place as "Quebec Revival", as opposed to authentically French. They have many products Quebecers will be familiar with, such as Tourtiere (meat pies). Really reminds me of a lunch counter you would find in Quebec city. You can be served in french here, if you so choose. Several of the people working here speak french, though they hire a few locals to work the cash and serve customers. The service is very friendly and casual. The place is really *crushingly* tiny, and has only seating fr 4-6 people inside. Plan on eating elsewhere if you arrive in the morning or lunch hour busy times. Hopefully this is the summer time, and there a few extra tables outside. The mains rotate depending on the day, but you can count on a strong home-made feel to any dish here, things like stew or shepherd's pie will be common. You can count on good croissants and pastries with decent levels of butter (not really Parisian-level though). And they are open to taking orders for most any kind of custom cake or casserole for you to take home for those family functions where you'd rather not cook. So far, no one mentioned that this is the place you want if you are craving some real Québec Tourtiere ! These meat pies are a tradition in winter months, especially on the holidays and you can get a slice or buy them frozen at Ma Maison, along with several other products Québecers will be familiar with, like Creton. read more

After spending about $400-$500.00 at Ma Maison this month, because the food is different and interesting. I went in to grab a latte and a few croissants. The order was $18.50 and when I realized I had inadvertently left my debit card on my desk, I popped out my MasterCard and proceeded to tap only to be chastised by the lady working there and told "next time to have cash or debit" because my order was under $20! She would have seen me there many times in the past month dropping $50 to $100 here and there, but apparently, I needed to be told I was not allowed to put an $18.50 purchase on my MasterCard. How gauche!! The SriLankan chefs do prepare the French dishes well and I was enjoying the French style food, but it isn't so great that I cannot go somewhere else with more polite staff. Is this place French-owned anymore? Does anyone know? read more

Very crammed quarters , food looked very good, lots of variety but over priced . I had salmon and a veg salad for $20.00 , sat half way into the basement . The place has far too many tables ,seems that it could be a safety issue. My salmon was dry not much flavour , the veg salad was good but not worth the price for the serving. I cannot recommend this place and will not return. read more

A exceptional patisserie in Toronto. Patrick is the owner and master baker directly from France. He is a local favourite and his products are truly masterpieces. The croissants and danishes always seem to sell out fairly quickly. He also has some prepared foods, and delicious desserts all made in-house. Very satisfying, and superb value for the quality you get. Patrick and his team of bakers work hard to deliver exceptional results. read more

Very disappointing; bakery was selling mango sponge and mousse cakes claiming to be fresh, yet they were clearly previously frozen. Quality has gone down over the years. read more

Exceptional bakery and cafe! Someone from my company brought in a box of croissants from this place and it was amazing. Their homemade jams are perfect croissant stuffers. My wife and I went in one afternoon and had their crepes, which were fresh and delicious. Brings back memories of our trip to Paris. read more

It's the beginning, of the end. This USED to be one of my favourite places!!! But new owners don't have a grasp on the business. Arrived at 11am to an almost empty shop, no customers, no product available. The neatly dressed, polite, smiling, french-speaking female employees, have been replaced with sloppy looking young guys, who look afraid, and their new male filipino boss hovering over everything, or should I say hovering over 'nothing!' because there was NOTHING available to buy. Of the few baked items available, and even fewer prepared dishes to choose from nothing looked anything like what the former owners offered and took pride in preparing, and we're happy to offer customers. This is a scary change for this establishment. I can only hope they take whatever steps necessary to hold onto the history, quality, and service, that customers were familiar with and loved! But seriously tho, how do u run out of baked goods, and croissants, at 11am, at a BAKERY!!! So sorry, unless something dramatic happens to fix this, we're not coming back. There was a stream of people going in, and immediately leaving empty handed, and sharing the same comments that I just shared here. Even the cool, hip, fun, French European vibe and ambience is all gone. read more
