Both were dense (in a good way) and thick and mine had nice creme filling inside. A good selection of pastries, very impressive how many things they have available.

We are always on the hunt for good natas after having them in Portugal…read more Came here because I saw it on other social media and all the reviews say good things about it. We came before closing and they still have many pastry (I hope they don't sell them again the next day). We got the nata, at first it didn't look that good/crispy. But when we bit into it. It was pretty flaky. The custard was really good. It was missing some butteriness on the crust tho. Overall not bad for natas. We also tried this almond tart looking item, and it wasn't good.

Was in the area yesterday, so made my way over to buy Portuguese Egg Tarts…read more The staff working there are friendly, quick with taking orders, and packaging them up. Store layout is a little awkward since the display is a little to the right of when you walk in, which is where you line up to turn the corner towards the back corner to pay. But there's also counter seats where the one pathway to pay goes and so you have to go back the opposite way to leave. If there's others lining up to order, you kind of have to shimmy through to get back to the door. Noticed there is seating upstairs, but only came for takeout, so didn't take a look. Their Pastel de nata is so good, especially if you heat them up!

Revamped, now it looks very modern and bright. I didn't know that they were taken over by Rahier…read more(definitely makes a HUGE difference, and I expect even higher food quality). They do sell Rahier cakes and pastries here. It was SO busy on a Thursday afternoon, lots of seniors inside and outside the shop (perhaps because it was senior day at Shoppers, idk) I ordered a mushroom bacon danish and an apricot danish. They were alright; tbh, I've had flakier ones. The NEW pistachio matcha was actually quite lovely; the flavours went well together, though it did get a tad sweet near the end. I went home and added more hot water, and finished it :) The lady taking my order was not exactly fluent in English, and she was trying her best to understand what I want. She offered to heat up one of my danishes, which I appreciates. The drink did take longer to make; there was only one staff making drinks... everyone else was running in and out of the kitchen or taking orders.

My sister and I were recently visiting family in Toronto, and we visited Bayview Village to grab…read morelunch and visit a few stores. We chose to try Bread & Roses Bakery Cafe as we ordered a sandwich and salad for lunch. My sister enjoyed her food while I thought my sandwich was quite dry and not very tasty. Plus, we did not feel that staff were too helpful. While I'm not sure I'll stop by for lunch again, the desserts looked amazing, and I saw a number of people enjoying what they ordered. We placed an order at the register and received a buzzer for when the order was ready for pick-up at the counter. My sister ordered a chicken salad with corn, egg, avocado, and more. I ordered a turkey and brie sandwich. I didn't find the sandwich to be that tasty or moist but rather dry. We found a seat near the desserts, which were enjoyable to look at it and imagine which we may order in the future. We saw smaller and full-sized cake sizes of several of the cakes. They didn't provide me silverware when my order was ready (though they provided some to my sister). We also heard them ask a deaf couple next to us to move so other guests could sit at their table. They also dropped a cup and chose to leave it on the ground and ignore it at least while we were at the restaurant. While I still thought are experience was okay or fine, there was quite a bit of room for improvement. This restaurant is know to be a great place for crepes, delectable panini, flavorful soups, and tasty pastries. They are open on weekdays from 9:30 AM to 8 PM, Saturday from 9:30 AM to 6 PM, and Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM. While I couldn't find their website online, they have some marketing via the Bayview Village website. Some of their fancy desserts include a Degas cake consisting of dark chocolate mousse, dark chocolate biscuit, and milk chocolate creme on a chocolate brownie, a a Voltaire cake consisting of milk chocolate mousse, dark chocolate mouse on flourless chocolate biscuit, and Foret Noire consisting of dark chocolate sponge layered with dark chocolate mousse and whipped cream. Again, while we weren't impressed with lunch or the service, we would certainly consider coming back again for a dessert!

Huge, dense, custardy, creamy. A tad pricey but worth it. Also got coffee which was pretty standard. Not sure what this place is like as a bistro and wine bar.

I have meant to come here for quite some time but never had a chance until now. Their open hours…read moreare a bit odd, close early afternoon (2 pm on Wed & Thurs, until 3 pm on Sat & Sun), and Mon & Tues are closed. As I commute from the Durham region on weekdays, Friday is the only day that opens later time (7:30), and I finally got the chance to try the food on a Friday afternoon! I bought - Olive loaf - Croissant (plain)] - Fig tart - Pear tart - Pâté en croute The olive loaf had a loooot of olives in it. It tastes great by itself, but I dipped it in good olive oil and balsamic. Great!!! The croissant was light, airy, and flaky. Nice butter flavor follows the bite. Fig tart and pear tart had a lot of fruits in them, not too sweet, which I appreciated. They do not cover the taste up with cream fillings and extract the ingredients' character and best texture/flavors/tastes. Also had a good buttery kick! Pate en croute has a lovely looking. The color of cranberries and pistachio makes it look festive & gorgeous. This savory food comes with slices of pickles which had a naturally sour, gentle flavor, which gave it a refreshing spike. They had a lot of wines as well, if you are a wine lover, you want to check this place out. They had beers as well for a beer lover like me :) Of course, I got a can of IPA from Merit brewery in Hamilton. I have never seen it before at any LCBO around here, excited! I hope to have a chance to visit here again sometime soon!

The staff here are consistently friendly, never pushy, and just seem to know how to keep things moving while still keeping it welcoming. Honestly, I don't even know what I'd complain about here. Only thing is I really wish they had panettone year-round. That's it. Otherwise, this place checks all the boxes whenever I need a reliable coffee and dessert break.

I got a small Nutella donut and the jam / pastry cream filled croissant. The pastries and pizzas here are definitely very beautiful and made with care. Unfortunately the ones I chose were very sweet.

I would probably come back to try their pizzas or other savory items.

There's lots of street parking nearby.

We came from the States and saw this featured on a video from a local and wanted to try them. I had the honeycomb and my wife had the taro pudding. Both were tasty.

We walked over to some nearby seating areas to enjoy them. I'd definitely come back to this or other locations to try more things on the menu.
