I've had this spot bookmarked for quite a long time but never really had the chance to visit J-Town until recently. I visited on a weekend afternoon and it was moderately busy but still had enough seats. There was a great selection of desserts to choose from and it was tough to choose! I ended up getting the Violetta and the Black Sesame Tofu Cheesecake. Violetta: A purple sweet potato tart that is one of their most popular desserts here. Despite its small size, this was quite filling and dense on the inside. Strong flavours but not too sweet. Tofu Cheesecake: I wasn't intending to get this but ended up getting it. The texture was amazing, very soft. The black sesame was a great flavour. I've had tofu cheesecakes before but this was certainly one of the best ones I've had. Overall, totally worth the hype after many years! The sit-down environment was a great casual space with a self-serve water station. I would totally come back again if I'm in the area. Note: If you want to pay with credit card, you will need to spend a minimum of $10.
Made a special stop as this is a friend's favorite bakery for cream puffs and was hosting a get together. We got the original puff, the macha puff, and the special CNY puff. The puff texture itself is very unique, as it has a density and crumble that is more reminiscent of the top pastry part of a Chinese pineapple bun. It's not a very good descriptor, but that is the closest association I can think of. That is then paired with a perfectly silky and creamy crème on the inside of the puff. I loved the macha one, but the CNY puff was very cute and perfectly festive for the season. This will be where I go when craving cream puffs for the future.
Excellent quality pastries with a Japanese twist. The food and ingredients are high quality and executed really well. I've tried a few items here: the Belle, a fruit tart, the Thyme to Meat quiche and Mont Blanc cake. The tarts have an excellent pastry crust and the filling was fresh and well balanced and the Mont Blanc was fresh, light and airy, and well balanced. The matcha latte is also super refreshing. The staff are nice and patient and can answer any questions about their products.
This cute patisserie is located inside JTown. It reminds me of Duo Patisserie a lot with the style of the pastries, the similar tart crust and the expensive prices (each pastry ranges from $5 to $8). On this most recent visit, my gf and I tried the basque cheesecake and the lumiere pastry tart. Basque cheesecake: Really light, fluffy and perfect burnt topping. The cheesecake was rich but still moist. Lumiere pastry tart: The crust was made from a REALLY good cookie crumble. The cheese mousse was lemony and the blueberry yogurt inside cut through the richness of the cheese perfectly. Sadly, because of how expensive this place is (and how far it is from me), I don't think I'd be a regular. I do want to come back and try the Abbie (chocolate raspberry) and Violetta (ube sweet cream) tarts though. They just popped out at me in the dessert window but my gf was feeling the other ones more haha.
finally had the chance to visit Yuzu No Ki bc last time i went they were almost sold out of desserts so glad i was there early! LOOK HOW GORGEOUS their desserts are !! i got their kinako mochi choux which was MY FAVOURITE and it has soy bean cream, red bean and mochi. i love the crunchy texture bc it pairs so well with the fillings! I believe they do rotating flavours for choux so be sure to check out their ig for updates. Another fav of mine was the black sesame tofu cheesecake bc omg it was so rich and nutty! Such a good combo you have to try it if you love black sesame!! Lastly, i got their Lumiére which is blueberry confiture, blueberry yogurt mousse, cheese mousse, milk glaçage & streusel cookies. idk what any of that means but it was delicious haha tastes almost like a blueberry yogurt but 100 times better LOL
Been meaning to try this bakery out and it did NOT disappoint! Huuuuuge fan! The little pastries we got were amazing, not too sweet, and very fresh. The seasonal fruit tart was mango and it was nicely balanced with sweet cream and slightly tart mangos. Hojicha latte was good, you can choose your sugar/sweetness level. Slightly pricey but absolutely worth a treat.
Yuzu No Ki literally keeps me coming back for more. My first encounter with them was with their MATCHA TOFU CHEESECAKE...which was UNREAL. The black sesame in the crust was a delicious surprise, the nuttiness with the earthy matcha and silken tofu was a MATCH(a) made in heaven, haha! The YUZU DANISH was soft and not the best danish texture, but the cream filling was good. The PURPLE SWEET POTATO TART was barely sweet, so you get a true purple yam flavour while the tart shell was textbook perfect. I got their KROKANT to-go and really enjoyed the caramelized meringue cookie with hazelnut pieces. Since then I've also tried their Chestnut mini cake, Black Sesame cream puffs (perfect choux pastry with a delectable black sesame filling), Black sesame Tofu Cheesecake, & Mango Tart! If I'm in the area, this is my favourite French-Japanese patisserie to go to and I always make a point to stop by their next door neighbours Bakery Nakamura (their milk bread is a MUST) and Sasaki Fine Pastry (classic Japanese mochi) too. Happy dessert hopping y'all~
My boyfriend bought me some beautiful tarts from here for my birthday, and they tasted great! The shop is tiny; you walk in and there's a very square space. The front has a glass display filled with eye-catching, colourful tarts, and there are other buttery baked goods lined up alongside the back (madeleines, cookies, biscuits, etc.). Yuzu also does drinks, but I haven't tried! We got an assortment of three tarts for ~$30. Here is my review from most to least favourite: Violetta This purple sweet potato tart has sweet potato cream, creme chantilly and diplomat, and candied purple sweet potato cubes. While the texture may be more dense (the sweet potato adds some heft), I loved that the tart itself wasn't too sweet at all. It had a very earthy flavour that I enjoyed, and the buttery cookie crust was perfect! Nicholas This chocolate tart is beautiful - I was so mesmerized that I chose it immediately. Unfortunately for me, I didn't notice that its main ingredient is caramel (not a huge caramel lover!). I found the tart a touch too sweet and gooey for my liking, but my boyfriend who loves caramel greatly enjoyed it. Lea This attractive lemon tart with a sparkly caramelized tart also caught my eye. It's perfect for lemon lovers - it is quite acidic and hits you with a strong, overwhelming lemon essence. Personally, I would've preferred a more subdued flavour muted with a tad more sugar. Overall, yuzu has masterful butter tart bases - I couldn't help raving about the crust with every bite! Cannot wait to try more options next time.

Went to @yuzunoki_patisserie to try their mushroom danish because I love mushrooms and danishes and @claudiaconsumes highly recommended it but they do not make mushroom danishes on Thursdays!! I was sad but getting the blueberry and mango tarts helped. Both tarts are absolutely delicious and not too sweet. Fresh fruit, crunchy crust...perfection . Will definitely be back to try the danish and likely some of their other items. read more

Been coming here since opening and I've been raving about it to all my friends who ended up loving it as much as i do! The #1 thing to get is definitely the choux croiquant/cream puffs. The first time I bought it for my friend's family, she ended up eating all of it before her family came back because it was so good. There's different flavours now and I've only tried the original vanilla, matcha, and the black sesame. Didn't find sesame as fitting with the puffs as it was a bit overpowering. The matcha, however, is on par with the vanilla for me. Luminere: usually my second go-to. The streusel cookies at the bottom make it seem like a fusion cheesecake which I lovee. Yuzu: new release - just might replace my fave luminere. Feels like a fusion of my two faves: the luminere and their lemon tart. Not a fan of the coconut bit tho but that's just personal preference and it's not major enough to stop me from getting it again. Tofu Cheesecake: the first time I tried this I was mind blown because how can tofu in a cheesecake be so good??? The texture does get to me after a slice or two. I find the sesame one works with this much better than the matcha. Basque Cheesecake: Normally not a fan of the idea of cheesecake without the cookie crust, but I love this place so much that I was willing to finally try the basque cheesecake and I've been in love with it ever since. It depends on the flavour for me tho: I can handle original without crust, but matcha felt too empty without it. The Violetta (purple yam): I wasn't a fan because it seemed to cater to extremely low sugar fans (too healthy for me haha). My friend loved this one though. Their cakes, especially cake slices or rolls, are stored properly and remain moist unlike my previous fave I dropped years ago (*cough*LaR*cca*cough*). I love how they handle matcha/hojicha drinks: Not watered down or too much milk that you can't even taste/smell the matcha that much but this place got it locked down. Highly recommend their affagatos if you see it on the menu! Also, I'm not a huge fan of bread-like pastries (idk how to phrase it, the non-desserts side?) in general but I recommend their Earl grey croissants. Whoever is the owner, i love you. Take all my money idc about inflation. Can't wait to try more new stuff in the future! ^^ read more
Small shop with pastries and packaged goods as well. Service was okay, we sat in the store to eat, as soon as we were done our last bite someone came and scooped up the plates quickly. A little too quick for my comfort. We ordered the purple yam tart which was really good, the yam flavor was strong and tasted natural vs artificial. I found the tart ring very hard but to break even with a fork, but it wasn't too bad when chewing, not too dense or sweet either. I would come back to try different flavors. Overall 7/10 would recommend read more

Amazing customer service, very patient and lots of attention to detail when packaging our orders. Only con is that most things were sold out by 4pm, definitely need to revisit to try their other items! They had a few bakery items and this tart flavour left. Tried their Earl grey mochi danish as well which is something I've never heard of before/seen anywhere else, & I loved it. read more

This is the patisserie of J-Town. Prettier pastries, cakes, and danishes than the bakery that is closer to the front of the complex. They had wrapped goodies on one side and the items that required staff serving (the prettier tarts, cake slices, loose pastries) were behind display cases. They have some pretty unique Japanese flavours like a matcha brownie and a mochi danish! I ended up trying 3 different items: 1. Earl Grey Danish - Earl Grey is a pretty popular flavour these days which I love! This danish had the tea flavour infused through the danish - no cream or filling. It was very mild in flavour and the pastry portion was not that sweet. It was a solid selection. 2. Mochi Danish - The mochi danish had a core of green-coloured mochi. I don't think it had a special flavour. I would have assumed matcha but it kind of just tasted like sweetened mochi. When I was nearing the end of the danish, I found out that it also had red beans inside of it! It had all migrated to one side of the danish. If you're not a big red bean fan, they seem easy to avoid. If you are a big red bean fan there might not have been enough lol. 3. Swiss and Mushroom Danish - This one was my favourite! It was fantastic heated up the next day. You could see the mushrooms and cheese on the top of the danish and that actually extended all the way into the center of the danish. I think it was a variety of mushrooms. Not entirely sure which types but I would guess at least white or cremini and the long stemmed babies. The filling was cooked and seasoned so well. This one is a must try! read more

Located inside JTown is this small patisserie and cafe. I bought a box of 6 different tarts/ dessert and a fig pastry. Desserts are on the pricier end, around $8 for one, but they were aesthetically pleasing and tastes great. read more
The blueberry mousse cake was absolutely stunning!! I feel like all their cakes here are probably just beautiful. I would love to try a non mousse cake because normally I am not a fan of mousse, but this was delicious! Not overly sweet and the blueberry jam in it was amazing. 100% I would recommend you to get a cake for a birthday here. Will not disappoint! read more

Taste was average. Presentation was 4.5/5 very nice but to be very honest. Don't remember much of the flavour, therefor the 3/5 stars. I also had a latte from there but there was no photos as it wasn't too special. The price and taste was an above average cup of coffee. read more

In my opinion this is the best Japanese pastry shop in the GTA . They have a wide variety cakes, pastries, and cookies. My personal favourite thing to get here is the Lea lemon tart and the Belle fruit tart. The pastries are priced around 5-8 dollars. I give this place a 10/10:) read more

A surprise visit. Surprised how the matcha date scone was so crispy and flaky. Love the grassy green color of the matcha creme filled croissant. The Father's Day Lucien cake was yummy with rum, walnut, cocoa nibs. read more
It's a nice little bakery in the J-Town Shopping Centre and was recommended to me by some friends. The display of pastries was amazing and I had to try as many as I could. I ordered 8 tarts and it came up to $60.25 so about $7.50 per tart. All the flavours were amazing, I enjoyed the mango one the most! When I called in to make the pick-up order, the staff were very polite and patient when I asked about their options. read more
Cute Japanese Patisserie. I can't believe I didn't know about this place sooner. As a frequent shopper at Jtown I never ventured further than the fish market. Glad I found Yuzu No Ki, as it's now definitely a go-to! The financiers and purple sweet potato cake are moist and the perfect amount of sweetness. Also tried the Violetta and it had great sweet potato flavour and a really flaky crust. Just wished there was a bigger selection, but I did go in the afternoon on a Tuesday so I think there's more on the weekends. Cant wait to go back and try everything!! read more
One of my favourite bakeries at the moment - love their cookies, financiers (very buttery, moist and the tea flavours really stand out), hojicha roll (really like the mochi pieces in the middle), cream puff, fruit tarts (the tart crusts are the highlight) and the blueberry cheesecake. The only thing I haven't really liked so far was the Sakura shrimp quiche. read more
