Each Labubu macaron in the set has a different flavor ranging from Ovaltine, Coffee Hazelnut to Jasmine. They also sell artistic cakes (, , ), cupcakes, cookies and Asian-inspired ice cream. To be honest, I did not expect those cakes to be good but I generally enjoyed every bite and detail of the cake. If you haven't tried egg tart, miso, kaya butter toast, lemon tea and durian as an ice cream flavor, this is your chance!! Staff was nice but the place is not too big.

Daan Go always the win when it comes to their cakes! Highly recommend the boba mini cake, though…read morethe "cup" is on the sweeter side (wont receive the quintessential asian compliment of "not too sweet") all the insides were perfection! Even the boba is better than boba from the different boba shops! Great variety of textures, mouth feel and taste profile. Highly recommended. If you order their ice cream just know some are vegan. I ordered online and this was not indicated unless you scrutinize the pics. But tbh you cant tell (with the taste) until you really analyze it. Also compliments to their designer! Look how fun and inviting the packaging look!

The website is easy to order from, and since my brother picks up the cake, the instructions make pick ups very simple between the two of us. The first thing my family and I noticed was that the pandan was very aromatic, but not overpowering. The cake and mousse cream didn't have an artificial colour to it, and there was a very nice balance of fruity flavours with the mango compote and coconut graham base. The mango compote was different (texture-wise) but delicious nonetheless! Most importantly, my mom enjoyed it and as "every Asian parent" says, this cake is definitely not too sweet nor heavy, and the portion was great for 4 of us (we got the 5"x3" cake [6 servings]).

Last Wednesday, I was at Vaughan Mills. I had dinner at the food court and was heading out to my…read morecar. I passed by a bunch of cute sugar cookies. I looked at this booth's sign that was across from Rocky Mountain Chocolate. Ela's Macarons. OMG! Macarons. Yes! I have been on a macaron quest for at least a couple of months. I looked at all the pretty-coloured macarons in the display case. The flavours were cool. I had to have some. I got a box of six for $15. It's a decent price for them. Behind the counter was a lovely woman who said hi to me. I reciprocated. I let her know that I'd like a box of six macarons. She nodded and we both headed over to the macaron display case for me to select flavours. I went with the following macarons: - Bubble gum - Cranberry orange - Strawberry cream - Tiramisu - Cotton candy - Red velvet I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. She asked me if I needed a bag. I declined and got my goodies in a festive red box. I thanked her and headed to my car. When I got home, I tried a couple. I was done eating all macarons in 24 hours. I loved them all. The bubble gum and cotton candy threw me back to being at The Ex. They tasted like the confections. I liked the cookie part of the macaron. They were crispier than most that I've had. The interior was chewy. Excellent! The tiramisu and strawberry cream were delicious. It was like having a strawberry milkshake with the best tiramisu. The red velvet and cranberry orange were yummy. The red velvet was subtle, but delicious. The cranberry orange was citrusy and tangy. So good! I passed by this place yesterday. It was super busy. I had bought a caramel apple from Rocky Mountain. Had I not made this purchase, I would have got more macarons and some gelato. I love Ela's Macarons. It was an excellent find. (464)

Every slice has its own unique flavour and texture, so there's something for everyone. The cakes are beautifully made with light, creamy layers that's aren't overly sweet.

We got a cake for an event last minute from kanae cafe…read more Everything from ordering to pick up was pretty seamless with no issues. We got the earl grey chestnut cake. It had good earl grey flavor in the cake itself. The chestnuts on top and pureed chestnut were pretty good though could have been a bit sweeter. The cream in the cake was light and not too sweet. Overall, a good cake if you enjoy earl grey and chestnut. Price is pretty good for what you get and the fact that you can get it same day is great!

Located at the end of a strip plaza, inside a Bontea shop, Nonna Lia's products are here for sale…read more It's not the easiest to find and parking can get full when it's busy. We decided to get 2 items for an event. 1) Tiramisu - perfectly balanced in flavor and sweetness. The sweet cream with cake layers, the chocolate and coffee flavors working together, a delicious moist treat. 5/5. Definitely a must try if you've never had it. 2) Thai tea tiramisu - this had good Thai tea flavor but I felt it was a bit one note in comparison to the classic tiramisu. Still good but hard to beat the original. 4/5. Price is about 20$ each and they're not huge but really tasty. Definitely a crowd pleaser for gatherings.

I have heard about Nonna Lia's tiramisu for the longest time. I love tiramisu…read more Last Tuesday, I was looking at my Uber Eats app and noticed that Nonna Lia was listed. It had all tiramisu varieties discounted by $5. Yes! What tiramisu flavour should I get? I had a tough time deciding. Classic, Thai milk tea, or earl grey? I went with Thai milk tea. This place also has gelato bars. I was curious and got a white chocolate raspberry gelato bar. I drove down to pick up my order. Nonna Lia is a part of Bontea. I was so excited to get my goodies that I didn't even bother getting bubble tea. Next time! Bontea is a couple of doors down from LaMochi Donuts. I had no problem parking in front of Bontea and heading inside. A woman greeted me. I let her know that I had an Uber Eats order. She fetched it from the fridge and handed me a nicely branded paper bag. I thanked her, wished her a great evening, and headed to my car. I immediately had the white chocolate raspberry bar. It was excellent! If you love raspberry gelato or anything raspberry, this bar is for you. The white chocolate was subtle. This bar wasn't sweet. I still dream about the bar. I need another one! The following day, I brought the Thai milk tea tiramisu to share with a friend at work. It has more mascarpone than lady fingers. It's like a decadent mousse with bonus lady fingers. We both loved how it tasted like having Thai milk tea, but in dessert form. It was light, yummy, and full of flavour. The lady fingers were perfect. Each container of tiramisu runs between $22 and $25. It's on the pricy side, but it is worth treating yourself here and there. This place is grab-and-go for both desserts and bubble tea. There aren't any seats to sit down and enjoy your treats. I'll definitely head back for more tiramisu and gelato bars. It took a while for me to finally give this place a try. I'm so glad that I did at long last. (463)

Finally tried the mochi from this place after lurking for a long time, and what I can say is that…read morethey have now secured a customer for their future mochi releases -[PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY DAIFUKU MOCHI] $5.25 * The filling is your standard of what would be in a typical peanut butter and jelly sandwich (with strawberry jelly) * Personal preference for me would be raspberry jelly but I could see how the added seeds might throw off the filling's texture * Messier to eat than the other one especially after cutting it in half for the cross section shot but still totally worth it -[STRAWBERRY RED BEAN DAIFUKU MOCHI] $6.00 * The filling for this is their own homemade red bean paste, and as advertised, it truly wasn't too sweet (this is the ultimate compliment for Asian desserts haha) * The strawberry topping it was MASSIVE in a great way * I'm super interested in trying their matcha version so I will be keeping my eyes peeled as to not miss out on the next time it returns The price might look a little steep but it is a home bakery started by a mochi loving girl (Tracy), and her mom. I promise you, every dollar is worth it when it comes to their mochi

The butter mochi was different and not something I've had before but some how the taste was familiar, it was also my mothers favourite! The watermelon basil was the more unique one and I don't know if I liked it. The watermelon made the mochi a little soggy and it was very messy to eat, I also felt like the basil was too over powering. Overall I look forward in trying the other flavours!

For a special birthday, I wanted to order a stunning cake. I am a huge cake lover, and I have had…read moremy share of disappointments. I actually wanted to bake one, but my decorating skills are not that advanced! I was intrigued by the good reviews of Sugar Peony, and knowing chestnuts are a family favorite, I went with the 6" French Chestnut cake. I placed the order over the phone with Linda (48 hours is required) and she assured me it would be fresh. I purchased a Groupon for a 6" cake at $28.80 and redeemed it with no problems. It seems the majority of people use a Groupon to purchase the cakes or macarons. I personally could not see myself paying the regular price of $58 + tax, so it was a good deal. I arrived just when the boutique was opening at 12 noon and met with Linda. She explained how she used fresh chestnuts and I was quite surprised because the majority of cakes, even from high-end patisseries uses chestnut puree. Linda said the puree would make the cake too sweet, so I was excited to taste it! The cake was fresh, moist and decorated beautifully. We are not fans of super sweet desserts, so if you are looking for a cake that is very low on the sweetness scale, these types of cakes are perfect. While the chestnut flavor was not predominant, the caramel flavored Callebaut "crispearls" added a nice textural crunch. The other flavors of cakes may be interesting to try next time.

From the sign in large letters outside, to the displays of macaroons by the counter, to the brightly painted interior, it is literally like a shining beacon in the middle of nowhere. The owner herself is also such a lovely lady - I could tell by her patience when I was placing my order (telling me all about the cake flavours, the ingredients, when and how to pick up, etc.) how dedicated she is to what she does. And it clearly showed in the dessert itself. I first chanced upon this store on Yelp, which mentioned a Groupon that offered a heavily discounted price - so of course I had to look into it. Using that (about 50% off) coupon, I ordered a chocolate élysée cake for Mother's Day. The cake came out even more beautifully than I expected, and was an absolute delight to eat. The varying layers of chocolate - the slightly bitter frosting, the richly sweet inside, the chocolate pieces decorating the top and sides - all blended perfectly, as did the textures, smooth and velvety throughout until you get to the wonderfully crunchy bottom. It was a feast for our eyes, too, as my mom commented that it was almost a pity to cut the cake apart - and the packaging is probably one of the prettiest I've seen (or maybe I just like the pink colour. Lol). Why 4 stars (instead of 5)? Well, I did come here on a Groupon...and the original price of $58 for a 6 inch cake is just WAY too much. If ever I need a specialty cake for an occasion, though, this place is on my radar. :)
