    $6.50 - Cappuccino + Pastry with custard filling
    Andrei A.

    The lady working there is super sweet and nice. The place has this old vibe to it. No wonder. They've been around for 50 years. However, I found the overall quality of cookies, canolis and pastries lacking. There was something off about the cream and custard they use. I wish small family-owned bakeries in Toronto adhered to the same standards family-owned bakeries in Europe stick to when it comes to quality of ingredients and type of ingredients. It's very difficult to find a bakery in Toronto that uses quality ingredients. I'm not sure why that is. Perhaps, because the average consumer here is content with mediocrity and does not demand higher quality....I'm not sure. Either way, I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon despite the friendly and helpful customer service. The quality is just not there for me to justify buying their pastries or cookies.

    Specifically came here for cannolis as it was ranked as one of the top bakeries for cannolis in Toronto. The cannolis were HUGE and had a nice crunch to them. However I ordered the ricotta filling and was in for a fruity surprise. I believe they put dried fruit and chocolate into the ricotta mixture and I did not enjoy the flavour of the dried fruit at all. Other than that, I'd rate it higher but there were some unpleasant bites!

    Finished dinner at Ryoji and passed by here......... hmmm........ why not get some pastries to satisfy my sweet tooth ............... Picked, paid and left happily with a box of late night snackssssssss : ) 11:00pm - pastry tasting started: 1. Tiramisu - the bitter taste was so strong that it hurt my throat ( Are they putting in too much espresso flavor??) 2. Palmier - huge, crispy and delicious 3. Lobster tail - love this tiny one which just finished in 3 bites. It's flaky and it shattered and melted in my mouth with the cream...... yummmmmm

    I'm a little surprised to read the negative reviews about the service here. Maybe we happened to come here on a good day? It was prompt, the little old woman helped us decide what to get, and once my boyfriend joked around with her a bit, she crackled a smile right back and chuckled. Maybe if customers were just friendlier sometimes, we'd get better service huh? We got: 1) Traditional cannolis: very good! the ricotta filling is the perfect level of sweetness, and not cloying/rich at all despite how much there is 2) Another kind of cannolis: this was different because it was made from a flaky pastry rather than deep-fried dough, but pretty decent! nothing too special 3) Valentine's meringue cookies: these were a bit tasteless and didn't have that 'chew' that I like meringue cookies to have.. it was just very, very crunchy and airy There were a bunch of other nice-looking desserts so I think I'd still come back and consider trying 'em! (and definitely get a cannoli or two)

    Amazing Canolli's, other pastries were also excellent. Kind of Soup Nazi in service style, but it only adds to the charm.

    My wife wanted to go there so we went on 2023-01-31 mid-morning when there would more selection…read more They definitely have quite a selection of pastries and savoury food. My wife always judges a French Cafe by their Butter Croissant ($3.00) and she liked it! She also noticed all the  staff speak French sp it gives it even more legitimacy.  She also ordered a Flat White ($4.50) which was also good. I ordered a Plum Almond Tart ($7.25) because it was the prettiest. It was super delicious so it was definitely a good choice! Service was courteous and friendly. You place your order at the counter and bring it to your table. Someone will come around to clear the dishes when you are done It is a great place to have a nice casual time eating and socializing. They make all their food in-house in the basement. There are products for sale such as coffee beans, fruit syrup, maple syrup, smoked sauces, olive oil, scented soap, wine glassware, etc. I will definitely come back again to try other items. There is free WiFi. The neo-bisto is not wheelchair accessible since there are stairs leading up to the entrance. There are two gender-neutral washrooms. There is free street parking on their one-way south-bound street. Review 2023-017

    Amazing place! I…read morecalled ahead to find out if they had this plum tart I purchased the first time I was there. Yet no one answered the phone. No problem. Hopped on my bike and a half hour later I was there. The friendly staff helped me by answering my question regarding eggs and which items did not have any in the recipes. This place was also super poppin' when I got there. It was earlish in the day around 10:30am and it seemed all the tables were pretty much taken. They are adding a dinner menu which is very exciting. Their pastries are phenomenal!!! Picked up a plum and pistachio tart, a chocolate mousse cake and an apple Danish for my mom. Plus a chocolate caramelized croissant. So much butter, and yet so good. Brought my container, which they happily used. The last time I visited this spot back in 2022, I vowed I would come back and take up space in that beautiful bay window seat. Yet I haven't followed through with that yet. One day. They also changed the name, since I was there last it was called Le Conciliabule Lab. Le Conciliabule means, "speak easy", as their website says. It was used back in the day to describe a place where people would come together and talk about everything and nothing. I can definitely say that happens here. What a beautiful concept, "everything and nothing". Now named Bisou, which means kiss. That's actually really simple and sweet. Since every pastry and any food item or beverage enjoyed here is a kiss for your tastebuds. Love it. Keep going team. You are amazing!
