Huge variety of tasty Greek treats - a must visit!…read more Came on Easter weekend and the place was packed to the brim! Once you get in, walk straight to get yourself a ticket since they call the numbers to serve people. The spot is HUGE with lots of variety of cakes, sweets, pastries, gelato, pastas, sauces, and so much more! The man helping us behind the counter was great and we got some delicious treats. Here's what we got: Cannoli 5/5 - MUST GET. Best thing we had there. It was so fresh and well rounded in flavour. Kataifi 5/5 - Super crispy and sweet! Another must get. Baklava 4/5 - Sticky and sweet. But I thought it was tad too sweet for my liking. Touloumbes 4/5 - This was good and great for sharing but I thought it lacked a little crunch to the exterior. Gelato 5/5 - Thought this gelato was great! Especially the strawberry cheesecake and nutella! Smooth, velvety and delicious. Overall, the variety here is so big that I can't wait to try other options here!

We tried the "Dulce de Leche Cheesecake", "Pistachio Éclair", "Carrot Cake", "Hazelnut Crunch", and "Strawberry Shortcake", along with a "Latte" and "Dirty Matcha. The desserts were rich, flavourful, and nicely made, with each one offering its own unique texture and taste. The drinks paired well with the sweets.

The place is bright and oh so clean! Spotless is a word I would rarely apply to restaurants and such, but this place was spotless. Service was efficient and quick. I got a "Russian Chocolate Tale" and an Americano. The coffee was good, a sort of standard blend, not bitter, smooth. The Tale was chocolate mousse on top of a chocolate cookie covered by a layer of vanilla-ish mousse-ish and some pink stuff. (Can you tell I'm not a desserts expert?) Both mousses were delicate and not too sweet, but I got nothing from the outer pink layer. Their selection is an amazing array of standard Western European pastries and desserts. And a Dubai chocolate bar in the $30 adjacent area if you feel like being trendy. Overall, another fine addition to the many great bakeries and dessert places on the Danforth.

Makes for a delicious, sweet, chocolatey and moist donut. Perfect size as they're mini sized but great sweetness. We also tried the chocolate covered biscuit. The chocolate shell is nice but the best part is the moist cookies inside. It's like a super moist gingerbread cookie on the inside and covered with chocolate on the outside. Definitely would try items from this bakery again!

They are always stale. I bought several pastries for a visit with my friend and they were so stale we threw them.

Well, guess what..I asked the sales girl if the pastries were fresh and she said yes (what else can she say as the owner was standing behind me).

A picture is worth a thousand words!

The brewed coffee was so good too. Free refills and you fill yourself. I didn't know that so I sat at my table for long time with the empty cup they gave me at front desk.

They have outside sitting too. It's a short walk from Coxwell subway station. Lots of beautiful cakes and pastries on display too. I'm definitely coming back for the crepes again and other dishes on the menu.

The cookies are soft and chewy, but best when warm. They also sell gelato from Death by Chocolate. I've been here several times, but this review is only for 2025-06-19. I chose the Turon Cookie. Turon is a Filipino snack. This cookie uses a Banana-Jackfruit cookie dough, that is sprinkled with Skor toffee bits. Then the cookie is topped with white sugar and then bruleed/torched. The burnt sugar taste is what Turon is known for. This Turon Cookie is available every June to celebrate Filipino Heritage month. This cookie tasted great. The customer service was good. There is a loyalty program where you can earn a free cookie. As a member, they will give you a free cookie on your birthday. The bakery is wheelchair accessible. There are no customer washrooms. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-121

Mr Puffs is pretty good and has exploded everywhere, but they still can't compete with this place. Here is still lighter and crunchier. And the original with honey is still made from a true honey base and not a fake extract. My kids went for the Nutella and strawberry, and you can even taste the better quality chocolate used here.

Stopped by the cafe and tried: - Loukoumades: Easily some of the best in the city. They were fried perfectly, not overly oily while maintaining a soft and bouncy interior. The Greek Hero had that classic honey glaze which made the quality of the loukoumades shine through, while the Choco Swirl went over-the-top with its generous drizzlling of chocolate. - Freddo Espresso: Strong iced coffee, which was a good counter to this sweet tooth heaven. Place is small but well decorated. Prices are reasonable. People there create such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend Yaya for a topnotch loukoumades experience.
