What I tried:
A pack of 6 macarons for $20. Mango, HK Milk Tea, Vietnamese Coffee, Matcha, Black Sesame and Roasted Milk Tea.
Pro:
Beautifully designed cakes and macarons by MasterChef Canada's Season 2.
Unique Asian fusion flavours for character macarons.
Con:
Quite pricy if I may say so myself. $20 for 6 macarons are definitely a once in awhile treat.
It is not the best location to sit down and enjoy the baked goods there. Take out mostly.
Extremely far (but this is my problem as I was coming from Hamilton).
Must Try:
Any of the unique flavored character macarons.
Individual cake slices (which I completely missed and did not realize they had).
Miso butter tart.
Service:
Extremely transactional. Did not tell me what their best sellers were although I asked.
Nothing special or to rave about.
2/5
Food:
The macarons were delicious. The filling for each macaron was of a different texture. It does not taste like the classic French Macaron filling. It was lighter, bordering whipped cream consistencies. Not a bad thing but different.
The HK Milk Tea and Vietnamese Coffee ones were my favorite. True to its name, they were very flavorful and had that perfect Macaron texture.
($3.50 each, 3 for $10 and 9 for $30)
4/5
Atmosphere:
Bright and airy.
A good layout of the bakery. Behind the counter you are able to see the bakers at work and designing cakes.
Extremely small to actually sit down and enjoy your treats there. A few bar stools facing the big bay storefront windows.
5/5
Overall:
I do not know if I would go back here anytime soon. But if I was in the area again, I would definitely purchase macarons as gifts or grab a few different items for myself.
