I have been sick of seeing those "Japanese inspired French" bakeries that have fake-y heavy make-up decorations for their storefront and products, totally losing themselves. This place is not like that. Very reserved. I felt that when stepping in the space. I got: # Ryusei: Interesting looks. Hazelnut sponge cake with coffee flavoured ganache, topped with a thin big sheet of black chocolate. I was impressed by the quality of chocolate. Sponge cake had flavor-filled chewiness to it. # Hana: Again the almond sponge cake's texture was not light. But the mousse had real pineapple flavor which was endorsed by finely shredded coconut. # Ren: The sponge was flourless. Texture is dense, really really chocolate forward piece. # Kurumi: To me, this is the best among all cakes. Almond sponge cake was flourless, but nicely moist. Caramel butter cream was not too sweet & nicely bitter. It had generous amount of walnuts on top! # Misaki & other fruits mousse cakes: Design was simple and not as sophisticated, so was the texture. Mousse was not as airly, however, the mousse's taste was very well balanced, hitting the perfect balance of fruits' tangy-ness and sweetness. # Plain croissant: LOVED this. Light and airy, good buttery aroma, when torn I saw the layers and air pockets making a beautiful honeycomb structure. Outer layer is crispy, saltiness is perfect. All reasonably priced, modest, and this croissant! No wonder this place has been loved by the local community!

The Mont Blanc was also good, but you have to eat it first to get the full flavour profile since it's more subtle. I feel like you can't go wrong with any pastry here haha.

YOU WILL HAVE TO TRY ANOTHER DAY. Store Hours: 9AM - 3PM Open: Tuesday - Saturday Closed: Sunday and Monday. You can pre-order by email and/or phone. They don't do delivery which is probably a good thing lol I would order something every day .

The cake was spongy, and the cream cheese frosting was spread evenly. However, I would have preferred if the frosting was less sweet although this wasn't a deal breaker for me and I would buy this cake again. The coffee is self-served in a corner of the store by the front door, but you pay at the register. There are also two chairs by the front window but the overall space in the bakery is quite small so I wouldn't imagine a lot of customers staying to enjoy their drinks and baked goods there. We also got a latte and they offered to add cinnamon on top which was a nice touch. We also got the ham and cheese croissant which was good, but I wouldn't say that it's the best croissant ever. I would want to try other bakery items and will definitely be returning soon!

Their breads are just so flavorful. You can see them make the bread fresh behind the cafe. Treats were also great. Not to sweet, lots of options so you can get a bunch to sample.

I've heard folks talk highly of Forno Cultura so when we walked by on a Saturday afternoon, we had…read moreto try their sandwiches. Overall, it was .. okay. The store was busy when we came around noon and while not the largest, they had some really interesting goodies for sale. I was really tempted to buy some jams and various pickled foods while in line but the two of us ultimately came for the sandwiches. We had the Mortadella and Cotto sandwiches followed by a Cannoli. First bites - the bread was a little tough and while it looked pretty good, our reactions again were like - okay. Not bad but nothing notably outstanding, and I kinda wish there was more filling for the price we paid ($18 per sandwich). The cannoli was very flakey - I think my favourite part of the meal was actually the fresh juice we purchased with the meal. I appreciate how they warmed it up for us to go and sit outside in the sun on benches they have right outside the store. The staff were quick and managed the line very smoothly. I think it was nice to try but feels like there are a number of other options I'd recommend first for the same price of sandwich around Toronto.

Stopped by on the weekend since I was in the area…read more Grabbed a few items to go, including the popular canelé. Definitely one of the best canelés in the city! The Sausage Roll was a tad too salty for my preference, but it is essentially a whole link wrapped in pastry. The sauce that came with it kind of helped, but overall it was pretty heavy. Very small space with a little bit of seating, but I was just there for grab and go, so wasn't a problem. Right when you walk in, the display case of baked goods right in front of you so you can decide while you walk a few steps to the order/pay area. They also have some fridges and freezers with other food items that you can purchase. The staff are friendly and helpful with recommendations.

Exterior was perfectly toasted crispy, inside spongy and gooey, honestly tasted like a creme brûlée and that's my favorite dessert of all time. Would definitely go back for a canele. KOUIGN AMANN (3.7/5) Kouign Amann was crisp outside, yet fluffy inside, but it had this bit of taste I couldn't quite put my finger on and didn't enjoy. Maybe it was cardamom or a hint of alcohol. My friend enjoyed it a lot, but not for me. CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE (3/5) Cookie was an interesting 15mm thick cookie with some salt. It was okay, not a huge fan of cakey cookies so would skip this. I wanted a bit more of a crispy texture and was hoping the edges would deliver that. Thought to buy it because it was an interesting shape. Chocolate tasted of nice quality though.

It's a very much order and takeout place - not really anywhere to sit and eat which is fine. We got the knafeh - 2 slices. They make the knafeh in giant sheets and cut out squares per piece. The top is decently crispy and crunchy but I felt a bit too thin of a layer. The stretchy and gooey cheese underneath has a slight hint of sweetness and counters the crunchy sweet phyllo dough. We also tried the walnut baklava which had pretty good walnut flavor. The pastry was super light but had a nice sticky honey in between. The pistachio baklava had similar pastry but I felt like it wasn't very strong pistachio flavor. Overall, price is really good for what you get. Definitely a good place to get a fairly unique dessert to go.
