    Nutella Cookie Sandwich
    Candice F.

    This place is a must try! They have a ton of yummy treats that they seem to change up often, and after going here at least once every week or so since moving to Oakville a year ago, I have not been disappointed a single time. My personal favourite thing from here is the cookie sandwiches (at least it was until I tried an ice cream sandwich today). The frosting on their cupcakes is always perfect - not too sweet and such a pleasant texture. They are always incredibly friendly anytime I have gone in, and its always clean! I 100% recommend this place to everyone (I think Ive read on their posts they have vegan items too?!) just be warned you will find yourself being unable to resist going in everytime you pass by it after you try it!

    Delicious coffee shot with vanilla ice cream

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about this amazing place! I think between two visits we have tried the majority of their items, from baked goods such as cookies, brownies, blondies to blizzard/ milkshakes to a coffee milkshake.... Yes this was as divine as it sounds. I just drank all of mine and I cannot stop thinking about going to get another! It's Americano with ice cream! (You can choose to add it with chocolate, vanilla or swirl soft serve ice cream.)Doesn't that sound heavenly!The most glorious thing I've ever had. Not exaggerating! You've got to try this place! Can't wait for a birthday for a reason to order a big cake! I travel 25 minutes to get there and don't mind one bit!

    I must have been here two dozen times. The brownies are fudgey. The chocolate chip cookies are chewy with a pinch of salt. Absolutely everything I've had is incredible. I got these cupcakes made for a birthday ... unbelievable. The cake tastes like the most moist airy and delicious home made you've ever had and the icing is a creamy sugary dream. Thank you and keep up the awesome work!

    A great spot for a coffee and the cookies and baked goods are too die for. Awesome addition to Kerr street.

    I've ordered the custom cookies for my son's birthday for the past couple of years and they're always a hit.

    Patisserie D'Or has been on my bookmarks for YEARS and I just stopped by since I was finally in…read morethis area of Oakville! Honestly, my first impressions of the interior weren't great. It looks really tired and dated, in desperate need of a refresh. Interior is more small town general store as opposed to French patisserie. The refrigerated display was covered in condensation so honestly, it wasn't invited and difficult to see the cakes/tarts that were hidden behind the water droplets. I felt as though this did a HUGE disservice to the baker 'cause this definitely prevents people from being able to properly see the products. Adjacent to the display case, were croissants (chocolate, almond, plain) and pain aux raisin. Clearly some items were in demand because there were less of certain items. Plain Croissant was $4 which, based on the size isn't too bad. "Fancier" croissants were closer to the $5 range. I didn't see any fresh bread, but they had frozen bake-at-home ones in the fridge. Not sure if it was because they were sold out. I got the pain aux raisin and it was pretty good! Not super flakey, a bit more moist, but not dry either. Not super buttery. This was in the early afternoon. And the pain aux raisin was DEFINITELY better than the poor example that I had at Gouter (Etobicoke). That was tiny and not very fresh! Overall, Patisserie D'Or could've been better, but if it's in your neighbourhood, it's probably a bonus.

    Hi Yelpers! I was on…read moremy way to get some plants and I was super hungry for some French croissant. I found this super small and cute pastry shop. I ordered the chocolate croissant which was super soft and flaky which I loved. There was a good amount of chocolate and almonds in it. The plain croissant itself was also really good. Though my only grudge was how brown it was, almost burnt. I also did try their macaron. I tried the pistachio flavour. The flavour is there but the quality, unsure. It was a frozen pistachio so not freshly made. I would come back for some more croissants.

Let me start by saying there are not many authentic French bakeries outside the downtown core, so it's such a relief when you finally find one in the GTA. In comes Tradition de France. Right when you walk in, you are greeted with a "Bonjour!". They offer a wide variety of items but I mostly just come for the croissants and more specifically now, the almond croissants. I'm not gonna lie, they're pricey. It's $6 for one almond croissant BUT, take a look at my pictures. The size of one of these is my face+. You're insane if you think I personally, could finish one of these in one sitting lol. This is defs a two-part pastry lol. This croissant is so big and does not look like your average croissant but boy is it GOOD. It's buttery, no fake almond extract taste present and the almond filing texture is just right. It's filled to the point where the bottom of the croissant gets a little soggy, which is exactly what I look for in an almond croissant. The plain butter croissant is also perfect. Flaky and buttery with all the layers. Again, it's so hard to find authentic French bakeries outside of Toronto, so Tradition de France is a good place to start, if you're looking to get your croissant fix.
