Wedding Cakes

This place is truly a heaven for dessert and pastry lovers! There are so many options - I was honestly fascinated just looking at the display.

We also tried their wraps, and they were so fresh, and absolutely delicious. It’s nice to see a place that does both sweet and savory so well.

As for the desserts, we tried two flavors: mango and strawberry. Both were tasty, but the strawberry one stole the show for me.

Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the mood to treat yourself!

It is a good experience not a crowded place to be
Everything is vegan so good for anyone to explore... but do ask them about gluten free options... I didn't.. but I think they should be carrying some.

Regarding the taste:
As you will be able to see in the picture that I ordered 2 items:
Chocolate:
It was good (7/10), it has a nice balance of sweetness and chocolate.. but I was not able to get any lunch from the walnut filling..
It melts in mount and give a god after taste of dark chocolate.

Lime: it was not the best they got..
I will not recommend it a the lime flavour at the top center overpowered the remaining experience.. you will taste a strong lime hit...

So overall..
Nice Ambiance ( 7/10)
Customer service (9/10)
Price: adequate.. as per the location and operation
Food experience: (6/10)

Will I go again?
Yes, as I want to try their croissant and other items...

Should be in your spot if you are exploring food in Montréal.

Pâtisserie Zébulon is a modern gem with a surprisingly large space and plenty of seating, making it perfect for relaxing and enjoying your treats. You can tell how much care and thought goes into everything they make each pastry is beautifully presented and full of flavor. They offer a great mix of sweet and savoury options, and everything looks almost too good to eat.

It was a little on the pricey side, but honestly, it was worth it for the quality and experience. I was also really impressed by how easily they accommodated my nut allergy. The staff was knowledgeable, kind, and made the whole experience feel safe and welcoming. It’s not always easy to find places that take allergies seriously, so that meant a lot.

A must-visit spot if you’re into pastries that are both creative and carefully made

Pâtisserie Zébulon makes one of the best chocolate chip cookies in Montreal, their chocolate moose pastry is out of this world spectacular, and their coffee isn’t bad either. The service at their new St.Denis location is quite attentive and helpful, as they go out of there way to describe the details of their craft. Generally, things are on the expensive side, but I guess you get what you pay for since the quality of these Vegan treats are top notch. To be honest, I wish the chairs and tables were more comfortable for relaxing, and unfortunately this cafe’s atmosphere is a bit barren and cold, but hopefully that will improve with time. In any case, I do look forward to returning to Pâtisserie Zébulon to sample more of their menu.

Excellent staff, very spacious and well lit with well designed seating. But above all yummy baked goods - breads and pastries and lovely people behind the counter. A touch of flair is the sight of people working on their buttery creations!

I have worked with Patricia's Cake Creations many, many times over the years on several different weddings, styled shoots, conferences, and events (and for personal birthdays too). The cakes are so beautiful, we have had our weddings and photoshoots together published several times.
Patricia and Maria are always very helpful and professional.
The cakes and pastries are beautiful, and more-importantly, taste amazing.

Patricia is a delight. She listens and understands clients design requests. I've had a few cakes created and they look and taste amazing. Bonus, real Ingredients. Our son's Lego cake was his fav! At Christmas the chocolate log cake is amazing.

This is by far the best place to order cakes... The cake tasted absolutely delicious and I couldn’t have asked more.
I would have no hesitation highly recommending anything from Patricia’s Cakes.

I bought an impromptu cake for my parent’s anniversary. The cake was delicious and the ingredients felt real and fresh. Maria was friendly and the entire staff were helpful, talented and professional. Will defn return back to try out there other fares.

This is by far the best place to order cakes from in Toronto!! They not only are extremely delicious and moist but they are also just true works of art!! We have ordered many cakes over the years and each time we are left totally speechless by the attention to detail and workmanship!! Patricia is incredibly talented and just the nicest and kindest person ever! Always very accommodating and thorough. And Maria is just a pleasure to deal with too! I don't think there are enough words to express our gratitude for the joy that Patricia's Cake Creations bring! They are always the talk of a party! Thank you for all that you do!!

Delicious baked goods. Everything is fresh and flavourful, especially their coconut macaroons!

This bakery has some good items (bagels), however after having tried their samosas, bagels, spanakopita and pastries, I find that they savory food lacks flavour and was stale/dry. The sweeter items did not leave me craving to come back. 3 stars because service is quick and prices are reasonable. Not excited about going back though..

Great selection of baked goods and meals.
We didn’t like Mac and cheese and sourdough bread, but we liked pastries.
Pleasant ambience and nice staff.

Home made cakes and yummy food… just wish they had baguettes 🥖

Nice bakery with freshly baked breads, pastries, cakes etc. There is usually a queue to follow if you're buying something.
Many of the items are not price marked.

Service was okay, I wanted to look around a bit and check prices but they asked me to get into line without even seeing what I wanted to ask. I didn't want to hold up a line trying to choose which is why I was looking around.

There are many regulars at the store. They even sell additional products like cards, small gift items, paper napkins etc. Overall products are good and it's worth a visit for sure.

I came here while visiting Montreal to try their almond cookies, which have a lot of varieties, and they actually taste good and fresh. I am also surprised that they don't charge tax on their receipt, unlike what I usually get in Alberta. The atmosphere is incredible, and the service is also very good. Well recommended.

We ordered a cake from San Pietro for my in-laws' 50th wedding anniversary and my son's baptism, and it was absolutely perfect! The cake was not only stunning but also incredibly delicious. The golden-themed design was elegant and beautifully crafted, capturing the essence of these special milestones.

Every layer was moist and flavorful, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious it was. The attention to detail was remarkable.

Beyond the cake itself, the service was outstanding. The team at San Pietro, especially Pina, was professional, kind, and accommodating, ensuring that everything was just right for this once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

Thank you for making these events even more memorable! We highly recommend them for any special occasion. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It was my first time I bought tail of lobster pastry ( coda di lagostina) and must say was a bit upset.
The shell wasn't crispy as I was expecting!? Sadly my five 5⃣ pastries were a waste of money 💵.

The filling (cream) was perfect though.

The store is beatifully decorated and staff very kind.

We are visiting from Toronto and decided to find an Italian bakery away from downtown.
We found this place on google, so we decided to try it out.
I can honestly say…. What an incredible idea!
The staff was amazing!
The prices were VERY reasonable and the pastries….. to die for!

6 buns (assorted)
6 pastries (assorted)
Total 26.00$

Please do yourself a favor and try this place out!

Lobster tail, it looks amazing , I try the ricotta one. It was too big so I cut it in 4 and shared it whit some friends. Nobody like it, the dough was the problem. It was hard, not easy chew . The ricotta filling, I like it but my friend found it too acid.
There was a line outside, they have many things and the service is friendly. Maybe I wasn’t lucky whit my selection .

I got the burn away salted caramel cake for my birthday and the salted caramel mother's day cake for Ma and it was THE MOST DELICIOUS CAKE I have ever tried. I have the biggest sweet tooth and have tried thousands of dessert spots and this is by far the best. The quality, the real butter, butter cream and taste is incomparable. The owner is super nice too and accommodated to letting me pick up the order since I live nearby.

Only wish that it was a live cafe/ store so I can go anytime and pick things up rather than order ahead.

I had spoken to the manager Anastasia prior and had ordered a box of their almond croissants and they were out of this world!! The croissants were so fabulously made and delicious and the almond filling is so amazing. Some of the best almond croissants I’ve ever had. They went so quickly. They have a really fabulous team and really do care about the quality of their products and customer satisfaction.
We can’t wait to try the matcha ones next the almond ones were just to die for!

I have been a repeat customer of Staij and Co.
Right from birthdays to get togethers to my own wedding, I’ve been ordering cake from them and I couldn’t recommend them more. Right from the service to the taste, everything is 10/10.

I have attempted to contact Staij and Co. through multiple means about a custom order: email (as per their phone instructions), phone call and their website. It has been extremely hard to get in touch with someone. It has been over a day now and they have not responded and I need the item for tomorrow. This business clearly doesn't care about customers unless they have paid already. I did not want to make a purchase until they confirmed that the request was possible to complete as I would lose money if it wasn't possible. Very poor customer service.

Update: they got back to me within 40 mins after I left a bad review. Clearly their Google reviews are more important to them. My request is not possible as they are not a nut-free bakery. Therefore it is good I did not order on their website beforehand. Just a heads up for anyone looking for nut-free baked goods, they don't offer that here.

I’ve only order deliveries from here, their almond matcha’s are just to die for and it’s huge and just delicious and we also get the nutella. I sometimes get a dozen or two so I can share with my daughters or freeze them.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Thimble Cakes. Discovered them when my daughter had peanut allergies and never stopped going. Cupcakes are delicious but also check out their vegan ice cream. It is so delicious (and I'm not vegan, so i remember what ice cream is suppose to taste like) you will not be disappointed!

Ordered a GF rectangle layer cake for a birthday. Had a photograph printed for the top of the cake. Cake looked amazing and tasted excellent. Well done. Highly recommend Thimble Cakes for gluten-free cakes or any baked goods.

Valentine cupcakes for a 99th birthday! Four flavors, beautifully decorated, and delicious. Photofrost cupcakes for hubby's 90th birthday.

After many "not so good" cake tasting we were overjoyed when we found Thimble Cakes for our wedding. The cake was fluffy, "moist" and perfectly sweet. We chose the "cookie dough" cake and I still dream about it 6 months later. They offer gluten free and vegan options which are amazing. Communication was easy via email or phone and they executed my requests perfectly. I ultimately went with a very simple design but its exactly what I wanted. I definitely will be stopping by the bakery very soon to help with these cookie dough cupcake dreams.

A wonderful boutique, delicious cakes 🧁 and desserts and very nice people! A great place to get a birthday cake or a sweet you are craving ☺️

A friend of mine got me a dubai choc bar from here and it was amazing. Had to check out the cinnamon buns. They are just as unique and amazing. Not dry at all and full of icing. This one is cereal milk flavour and it tasted of my childhood! Please support local bakeries with great ideas. Staff here are very welcoming and decor inside is gorgeous :)

I came here for the Dubai strawberry cups. The little photo booth corner was beautifully decorated. For IG, its great, but I was surprised that the rest of the interior of the store wasn't as cohesive or as nicely decorated. The seating area seemed a bit bland. Now, for the food. I think its hard to make chocolate, strawberry, and pistachio cream not delicious. I just think it could have used a bit more strawberry. I have tried a Dubai strawberry cup at another place before and it was slightly bigger and a few dollars cheaper. If you haven't tried, I still think it would be a good place to go visit and try.

Desserts, Decor & Delight – 8 Cakes Has It All!
This place is a dream for dessert lovers and aesthetic seekers alike.

I tried their Banana Pudding Ice Latte, the Viral Dubai Strawberry Cup, Brownie Cups, and Pistachio Knafeh Bars – and trust me, they taste just as good as they look!

Whether you’re here for the sweets or the vibes, 8 Cakes is a must-visit spot in Calgary.

I really love 8cake—I’m a big fan of the Dubai chocolate bar you have in shop, and the lotus one has been my absolute favorite so far. Because I enjoy your sweets so much, I was excited to try the cake sandwiches. I picked some up today for myself and my husband as a little dessert treat.

On the way home, I noticed something seemed off. The cookies and cream box had two sandwiches inside, but the chai fudge only had one, and it looked noticeably lighter. Once I got home, I double-checked on your TikTok page and saw that the sandwiches are usually shown as two halves per box. I called to confirm and was told that the “portions are equal”

That said, when comparing the two side by side, the chai fudge portion was significantly smaller and didn’t seem consistent with the other flavor. I’ve attached photos so you can see the difference.

I truly don’t mind paying $12.60 each for your treats, as I know quality desserts are worth it—but it’s a bit disappointing when the sizes don’t feel consistent, especially when the difference is so visible.

I tried the Strawberry Cup (it was well loaded with kanafeh, melted chocolate, strawberries and pistachio paste), so decadent! The Cream Puffs were filled with fruity, caramel and Oreo flavours.
The customer service here is amazing!

We came here with friends after seeing a reel on Instagram about their cake-decorating activity. The place has a nice ambiance, but honestly, it’s overpriced for what you get. It costs $30 for a small cake, and while decorating, my cake started “sweating” because the A/C wasn’t working well, so the icing wouldn’t stick properly.

For $30, you get a small cake, four mini icing bags (shared between four people), a mug of random sprinkles, edible glitter, and some bows. The ingredients didn’t feel very hygienic—especially the bows, which were sitting at the bottom of a plastic box where it’s clear other people may have touched them. I really didn’t feel comfortable putting that on something I was about to eat.

There are places in Montreal that offer proper cake-decorating classes for about $50, where you get better-quality ingredients, more decorating options, and actual instructions, making it a much better value overall. Here, the decorating options felt very limited.

As for drinks, they were just okay. My tiramisu latte was good, but my friend’s strawberry lemonade tasted like watered-down juice. For $30 per cake plus $8 drinks (before tax), it just isn’t worth it.

If you’re looking for a fun cake-decorating experience, I’d recommend going somewhere that offers actual guidance, better ingredients, and more value for your money.

I had an amazing time with my niece for her birthday cake decoration. The owner, who is also the teacher, was amazing, fully bilingual, and with a great attitude and excellent trainer who was also training her newly haired employee. She is very kind and generous, which is why the experience was amazing. Highly recommend it and will be back soon for cupcake decorations. Thank you.

A Birthday Tea Time to Remember

If you know me, you know I don’t play when it comes to birthday treats—and this year, I celebrated with an elegant tea time at Atelier Marjorie. Safe to say, it was a sweet success.

Let’s talk highlights:
• Mocha Latte – Smooth, creamy, and just the right balance of chocolate and espresso. Like a warm hug in a cup.
• Pastries – The chocolate éclair was rich and glossy with a filling that whispered luxury. The mini lemon meringue pie? Bright, tangy, and cloud-like with its toasted meringue top.
• Macarons – I wrapped it all up with a salted caramel and a passion fruit macaron. Soft, chewy, and bursting with flavor—like little edible presents.

The vibe? Cozy and charming with friendly service that made me feel like I was celebrating at a close friend’s café.

Bonus: they also host mini cake decorating classes—and you know I’m coming back to try that next time.

If you’re craving a little indulgence, Atelier Marjorie is the perfect spot to slow down and treat yourself.

I spotlight my favorite local gems on TikTok @foxy.appetite and IG @foxyappetite—come eat with me!

I ordered my son's 2nd birthday cake here thinking i was giving my money back to my community.
I sent her a picture of the cake i wanted and she assured me that she could replicate the cake. Instead of fondant, all the decorations was plastic and printed pictures. See the attached pictures for yourself.
She agreed to reimburse the 145$ i spend if i returned the cake, which i did, but instead of confirming with me the account to which she should return my money, she sent the money to a closed account.
My sons birthday is tomorrow, so i am without a cake and still missing 145$.
This owner is unprofessional and doesn't care at all about her customers. I absolutely don't recommend doing business with her.

My time at Atelier Marjorie was the highlight of my trip to Montreal! The service was great! Both the owner, Khadijah, and the gentleman who helped set up my incredible cake decorating experience, Sacha, were so kind and welcoming. The girly pink interior, beautiful floral decorations and comfortable seating created a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. I had so much fun decorating my delicious raspberry cake with the large variety of icings and sprinkles I was provided. I truly enjoyed the time to be creative and the cake was both beautiful AND delicious. I also had up a couple desserts while I was there and everything was so flavorful, unique, and exquisitely crafted! Definitely come here for a fun girls day, a birthday, or with your kids who are also princesses at heart! Your sweet tooth and inner child will be satisfied! 🩷

Their matcha tiramisu and strawberry shortcake are the best!!! Not too sweet, fresh and soft. They also have small slices if you want to try first.

Small cafe that is kind of hard to find, but there are definitely some gems that can be found there. My family has enjoyed their ube cake for the past few years and recently, I tried their mango and chocolate mousse cake and their lemon raspberry cake. The lemon raspberry cake tasted a bit dry and was not my family's favourite, but we loved the mousse cake. They also offer other treats such as cookies and biscuits. I am looking forward to coming back to the cafe to try out their individual $10 cake slices, and maybe even their prepared meals (the meatloaf with mashed potatoes caught my eye during my past couple of visits). Overall, this cafe is one of my family's go-to cake places.

Ive never really cared for carrot cake but its my husbands favourite so i ordered it for his birthday. WOW. Sooo moist!!! The cream cheese icing is unreal. And the girl working the cash was so sweet too! 10/10 would order again.

Really tasty cake, we got the strawberry shortcake and tiramisu. Also the London fog was amazing. The staff are all very nice and even ran after us with a pair of sunglasses were forgot. Definitely 5 star service!

It was a cozy and nice café with a calm and pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, the cake slices weren’t very fresh — the cake was dry and had too much cream. The cappuccino was good, and the staff were friendly.

I had Forever Cakes create my wedding cake. Maria was absolutely fantastic! She is so sweet. I sent her a very specific design and she knocked it out of the PARK! Gorgeous cake. It was exactly how I wished it would look. It’s a very specific design and she managed to get it PERFECT. She did such an amazing job on it. Fondant wasn’t too thick, the cake was moist with layers of custard. Lots of comments on our cake! She delivered it to my reception location hassle free. And price was incredibly fair - Especially for droving this cake out to Canmore. THANK YOU so much!

Marcia's talent amazes me. I ordered a Fortnite cake for my sons birthday and a Baby Shark cake for my daughters birthday and they both have truly blown me away. The passion and love Marcia puts in to each cake is absolutely amazing and shines through! Marcia's creativity is so wonderful, she designed both cakes and cake pops and what an amazing job she did!!!

We will only be ordering our cakes from forever cakes as they are absolutely gorgeous and delicious.

Forever Cakes has made me love fondant!!!

I ordered a cake for my Dad's 70th birthday this past weekend and it was absolutely perfect! The cake looked exactly like the picture I emailed to Marcia and everyone loved the taste and texture of the cake. It was a big hit! Thank you again!

I highly recommend this shop for cakes . I got my son s bday cake customized and they did great job . It was so delicious everyone loved it. And the cake was looking amazing. Thank you Forver cake .. u deserve 5 start for sure ..

I am absolutely amazed at how perfectly my cake turned out. I had reached out to Marcia and worked with her to create my dream cake for my Halloween wedding. I am from out of province and had no ability to do a tasting or a face to face meet. I had only seen her portfolio and booked solely off of that and her ratings. I WAS AMAZED. It was identical to my reference pictures. I chose a two tier cake with two different flavored tiers, both were delicious and beautifully done. I am so impressed and would recommend her to everyone.

If they had vegan products I would give a 5 star review. There are pasta sauce jars and dry pasta which is vegan, but nothing on the prêt-à-manger section. It is a favourite place for sweets for my family except me. Cozy small place with few chairs to sit while you enjoy your pastry or sandwich.

Terrible pastry. When I got home, you could see that it was burnt and covered with excess icing sugar. All you tasted was burnt pasty. Although the service was friendly, the taste was terrible. I would not recommend going there.

They have lots of frozen cakes in the back, an amazing solution for last moment cake:)
Everything we tried was fresh and tasted amazing. I brought the lemon raspberry cake to a party and everyone asked me where did I get it!

Absolutely gorgeous cake and delicious too. Everyone wanted to know where it was from!

Excellent pizzas and pastries! Reasonable price and super friendly service. Enjoyed the Portuguese egg tart, chocolate cupcake and chocolate chips cookies, all enjoyable and fresh! They also offered to cut my pizza. Would love to try their homemade salads next time, all looked so good!!

Ashima made us a beautiful and delicious cake for our wedding (it was also very reasonably priced). She’s extremely talented and we loved our cake at our wedding so much! Sometimes it took time to hear back and confirm things, but I never had a doubt that the cake would be spectacular. Will definitely get more delicious things here!

I had the absolute pleasure of savoring a heavenly trio from Made by AKB via Uber Eats, a velvety hazelnut latte crowned with luscious oat milk, a decadent Dubai knafeh pistachio cake jar bursting with exquisite Middle Eastern charm, and a buttery almond croissant so delicately flaky it practically melted on my tongue. Each indulgence was a symphony of sophisticated flavors and artisanal mastery that perfectly satisfied my cravings when my hormones were doing their thing. If you’re seeking a delicious escape that feels both elegant and comforting, Made by AKB is the ultimate treat!

We had such a lovely time here. Service was amazing and the food and drinks were excellent. I thought I had tasted good Knafeh pistachio strawberries before, but this was the BEST I have ever had!! I ordered a small but it was packed to the brim and so worth the money. I ordered one more to take home to my sister. Will be back for sure!

By far the best Dubai chocolate style dessert i've had in the city...Lots of pistachio filling and delicious fresh strawberries made this one of my favourites for sure. I also grabbed a matcha cupcake which wasn't a fan of but still worth trying if you are into cupcakes with a filling inside.
There was also a nice selection of cake jars which are worth trying as well, i picked the Lotus biscoff & it did not disappoint:)

I wouldn't doubt that this place might actually be Heaven, lol!!!!!!
It's amazing. It's beautiful. I love everythinf about it.
Stunning sweets, wonderful service, great vibes inside and delicious taste!! I tried the Ferrero rocher brownie (and will probably never eat another "brownie" in my life), and also the nutella hazelnut latte. If you're a sweets lover, and if you also appreciate flavors from other cultures, you've found your haven.
Enjoy!!!!

This place is truly amazing! they have variety if not all kind of Cakes for any occasions.
I've got my wife her Birthday Cake here and she loves it!!

I ordered a vanilla cake for a birthday. I clearly specified the one with 35% cream on the outside AND on the inside (as the birthday girl requested and which we have ordered in the past). When I picked up the cake, I specifically asked if it was the 35% cream cake, which the lady who served me assured me it was. To our GREAT disappointment, the vanilla cake was made with yellow custard inside instead of the real 35% cream. And the outside was just regular generic icing, not the 35% cream icing. VERY disappointing to say the least. We ate the cake, but EVERYONE left the awful fake icing. The cake cost $48 ! UPDATE: I spoke with the owner the next day. She agreed it was a mistake on their part and has offered to give a rebate on our next order as an apology.

One of the most delicious ice cream cake that I ever had. Also, there are many varieties of pastry that I should try each time I visit Montreal.
Nice and welcoming staff.
I really recommend it for sweet tooth people

A beloved Montreal institution since 1971, Pâtisserie Afroditi masterfully blends Greek and French pastry traditions, offering an irresistible taste of the Mediterranean. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by the inviting aroma of freshly baked pastries, a spotless and well-stocked display, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The bakery’s attention to detail is evident not only in the quality of its desserts but also in the overall experience—from the friendly service to the charming, old-world feel of the shop.

On our visit, we indulged in a selection of treats, including their cheesecake and a variety of individual cakes, each one as delicious as the next. Every bite showcased the bakery’s dedication to quality ingredients and time-honored recipes. Their renowned Greek specialties—baklava, melomakarona, and kourambie—lived up to their reputation, boasting authentic flavors, perfect textures, and just the right amount of sweetness. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Greek desserts or trying them for the first time, Afroditi’s offerings are sure to impress.

What sets Afroditi apart is its ability to deliver both nostalgia and discovery in every bite. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality and craftsmanship behind each pastry. With a rich history and a well-earned reputation, it’s no surprise that this bakery has remained a staple in the city for over five decades.

I walked into the store around 3:40pm on September 27th to buy a cake and at first everything was fine, I chose a 45$ cake, but before anything was packed and finalized, I politely asked if I could switch cakes. Instead of simply making the change, the worker gave me horrible attitude, acting as if it was a huge inconvenience for me to change my mind. She made me feel like I was doing something wrong, like I wasn't allowed to want another cake. Everything in the store is high quality especially their cakes, but the worker was completely unprofessional even though it should've been a simple purchase.

A true gem in Montreal – authentic, delicious, and unforgettable!

We had such an incredible experience at Pâtisserie Samadi & Fils on Gouin. This place is a treasure for anyone who loves traditional Middle Eastern sweets. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with the rich aroma of fresh pastries, nuts, and warm hospitality.

We tried a wide variety of items — baklava, nammoura, maamoul, pistachio rolls, and of course, the legendary kaak with knafeh — and everything was absolutely perfect. The kaak with knafeh was especially unforgettable: warm, soft bread filled with gooey, sweet cheese knafeh and just the right touch of syrup. It’s the kind of dessert that makes you stop mid-bite and smile. A must-try!

And let’s talk about the Arabic coffee — smooth, rich, and perfectly spiced with cardamom. It was the perfect pairing for the sweets and honestly one of the best coffees we’ve had in the city.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and they took the time to explain the different types of pastries. The store was clean, beautifully organized, and had an amazing selection of ready-made gift boxes — perfect for any occasion.

Whether you’re stopping in for a quick treat or looking to bring home authentic Arabic desserts, Pâtisserie Samadi – Gouin is the place to go. We came from the South Shore and it was more than worth the drive. Can’t wait to return again soon!

Really love this place. The people serving the food are always so nice and specially i know nothing about these cakes and they are always keen to answer my questions. Very cozy for a breakfast as well. Specially the kunefe sandwich was awesome.

Kunefe sandwich was so delicious. As well they have an amazing ice cream and good coffee

Overall it’s good, but I was disappointed several times.
On the first day of Ramadan, I bought Osmanlyeh and discovered that it was burned during cooking and they tried to hide it with an extra layer of vermicelli (Ch3iriyeh).
In the past, I made some improvement comments but the workers did not show any interest or value for customer feedback.

Their sweets are delicious and a variety of variety, reasonable prices. I put 4 stars because the cream they have, I don't think it's 100% fresh. This is my experience. I hope to improve the quality of the cream

This is mine and my family’s go to Greek bakery. Everything we buy is top quality, delicious and fresh. Also, everyone that works here is so friendly, and professional! They
I have had my bridal shower, wedding, baby shower, child’s baptism, and child’s birthday cakes done here. The cakes do not compare to anywhere else. They are always so fresh, beautifully designed and every guest comments that is one of the best cakes they had! Thank you Select bakery!!

I came here for the first time after driving many times past and I wanted to see the inside. I was greeted warmly by staff who gave me great options to try for my first time. A very nice bakery to have a coffee and treat. Their village bread was also very tasty. I hope to come back soon and try their other baked goods and deli assortments.

Very happy with my visit to Select today. I have had their pastries at Greek events before.

The melomakarona are the best commercial version I've had in Toronto. The karidopita was very good. The Pouros baklava (walnut- filled, cigar -shaped) was good. I also enjoyed a Greek coffee.

I picked up some Cretan olive oil, mastic, sour cherry juice, mahlepi, and beans.

The staff were very nice.

There are four small tables by the window.

I will definitely be back soon.

They’re the best, everything tastes amazing and their prices are unbeatable! I can never pick just one dessert because they’re all so delicious lol

Back with the Baklava, as it becomes the baseline for establishing good bakeries, it is filled with a thick layer of walnuts soaked in a sweet, sticky syrup. A pastry that's quickly climbing my personal ranks, Galaktoboureko features a smooth custardy bite with a touch of vanilla, contrasted with the subtly crisp filo dough on top that's soaked with honey syrup.

I got a slice of the coffee cake at $1.84 only as it was on the 50% off tray. For being gluten free, it was a great pastry at a great price. However, the cake was very dry and not very fluffy. I would’ve been fooled in thinking it was a regular cake if not for the dryness. Or maybe it was just because it was not fresh from the day.

I was so happy to find a fully vegan bakery in Ottawa, I never would've guessed that it was gluten free :) and kosher and nut free. I stopped here for brunch and got a cinnamon roll, a banana chocolate muffin and a berry iced tea slushie. All DELICIOUS!

I visited to purchase an allergy free dessert for my niece. I visited on a Friday afternoon-the person at the counter simply said they didn't have what I was looking for-no further discussion/options offered. I had seen their cakes at another store, and was able to find the item I had requested at that location. My niece and her friend didn't care for the cake, saying it was dense and they didn't like the taste. They only had a bite each before it was discarded.

The Cold brew was sadly unavailable when I arrived, however, they were quite pleasant about making a substitution. Their service was prompt and friendly and I would expect a good experience if I ordered their products.

I ended up ordering their special "Orange Truffle Mocha." It was good. My companion enjoyed their standard coffee.

Nice and cozy bakery on Richmond Road. The staff was welcoming and ready to assist during my visit. I had questions and the staff member went the extra mile to look for the answer to provide me with tailored answers.

The place looked well lit due to the large windows, the very high ceiling and the spacious venue. An option to sit in is available. Some cakes are available for immediate purchase and they offer a selection of cold and hot drinks. The prices are okay, not cheap and there’s also a selection of breads.

Parking is on the street and is not free.
Overall nice location and nice service.

We live in Florida, but my sister in law ordered the cake for my daughter’s seventh birthday in Montreal, and it was beyond anything I could have imagined. This wasn’t our first experience! She actually created a cake for my son’s very first birthday 10 years. He had an olaf theme. So when my sister in law told me she was taking charge of the desserts, I felt instantly at ease. Cakes are the centerpiece of the party!

My daughter is obsessed with Pokémon the Jigglypuff, and this was probably the most beautiful cake I have ever seen in my life. The pictures don’t even do it justice. It was enormous, magical, and looked like Jigglypuff was standing right in front of her. The adorable matching cookies were the perfect touch with her name on it.

This isn’t just a cake, it’s true artistry. I would literally fly out just to have my dessert table and milestone moments created here. Thank you for making her birthday unforgettable.

I have been a client for 10 years. Claudia has been extraordinary in helping with achieving the most memorable cakes for my two children and for other member of my family.
Every time we challenged them with a picture we found online, they were able to reproduce an enhanced version of the cake or cookies.
The service is impeccable, the look is perfect and the cakes are always fresh and delicious.
You can’t go wrong with Sugar Rush Cakes!

They came highly recomended from a previous client for cupcakes with a company logo on it. After trying them I must agree, price was good, delivery arrived within the discussed window, presentation was nice and the cupcakes themselves were delicious. Will definitely use again for future events.

I ordered a cake for my sister'sbaby shower, I ordered vanilla dolce de leche cakes and mini cakes, It was moist and delicious. The service was amazing and delivery was on time. Claudia is so sweet, and nailed my order. I Will order again.

I just wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation for the amazing custom cake you made for my birthday! The entire process was seamless, even though I live in Atlanta and was traveling to Montreal for the celebrations. Claudia communicated with me throughout. The cake was absolutely delicious and the design was stunning. I am so happy with how it turned out, and I can't thank you enough for making my special day even more memorable.

My bestie wanted a Pride and Prejudice quote cake for her birthday and Velvet Lane did not disappoint! The ordering process was quick and easy, and the member of staff I spoke to was very accommodating of my special request for the hand piped message. We ordered the lemon raspberry flavour and it was delicious and HUGE as you can see from the photos. Money well spent . Thank you for making my friend’s birthday extra special !

Love the vintage cake decorating workshop at Velvet Lane Cakes!! Me and my girls had the best time with Danielle - she’s so incredibly patient and friendly and made the 2.5 hour class fly by! Despite all being new to cake decorating, all our cakes turned out so wonderful and professional looking! It’s a perfect activity to do with your friends and it’s such a treat being able to bring your cake home as well to enjoy!

I want to say a big thank you to Velvet Lane Cakes & Cafe for making our special moment of baby revealing gender so memorable! The cake was delivered right on time, despite that it was a Statutory holiday, it tasted delicious and was absolutely amazing! My husband and I were truly enjoying the cake and we were so happy with our choice! Highly recommended!

First off, i’d like to say they have friendly customer service and responded to our inquiries very quickly . However, i’m not sure what happened with our order:

Cake order was scheduled to be delivered via doordash at around 2pm on Sunday Aug 17. I received a text message that my order was picked up from the store and was on its way at 1:35pm.
At 1:55pm I get another text informing me that the order was cancelled (??)
Then the order was reassigned to another dasher at 2:25pm and was delivered at 3:28pm… again, not sure what happened here.

Now for the cake itself:
Looked great however the message and cherries were very poorly written. (see photo) We have seen other customers post images of their cake and their messages were written perfectly so i’m not sure why ours was like this.
The taste was ok… a bit dry. But the size of the cake was perfect.

Overall disappointed for the price we paid and what we received.

Delicious cupcakes. They have about 5-6 flavours. I liked all of them.

Each one is about $4-5 but you get a slight discount if you get half a dozen.

Other bakery items and coffee as well. Enough space to seat a few people too.

Accacia Bakery is an absolute gem! Their French pastries are exceptional , delicate, rich, and beautifully crafted. The baklava is perfectly crisp and flavorful, and their cookies are just as impressive, with a wonderful variety to choose from. Every item I tried was fresh, delicious, and clearly made with care. On top of that, the staff is friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you're looking for top-quality pastries and Middle Eastern sweets, Accacia Bakery is a must-visit!

Absolutely love Acacia Bakery! Their French pastries, cookies, and especially the baklava are out of this world. The Lotus Biscoff pastry is a standout -rich, flavorful, and delicious. They have a great variety to choose from, so there's something for everyone. The customer service was warm and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you’re looking for top-quality treats and genuine hospitality!

One of the best things I have eaten in 2025 so far. Very happy with my order. Ashta platter with fruits and nuts. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing Lebanese bakery! They offer a fantastic selection of pastries, kunafa, baklava, shaybieh, and a great variety of cookies — all incredibly delicious and freshly made. Every bite was rich in flavor and perfectly balanced in sweetness. The prices are very reasonable , and the customer service is warm, friendly, and attentive. A true gem for anyone who loves authentic Lebanese desserts. Highly recommend!

Love the pastries, really fresh and taste delicious. Every time i walk in there is unique and different pastries. Very generous, friendly staff and thank you for the treats my son was super happy. Will definitely come back. Thank you

The service was great, the place looked lovely and the deserts were amazing.
The raspberry brownie was so chocolatey and goey, but well balanced with the raspberry.
The coconut cream cake was one of the best cakes me and my husband ever ate, it’s light and the flavors are well balanced.
Can’t wait to go back to try other cakes!

I didn’t realize they were closed when I went to the store but the lady saw me and kindly accommodated me so that I can have a cake for our anniversary dinner. She iced and decorated a raspberry lemon cake for me and it was lovely. The icing was so smooth and creamy. Will definitely plan better next time and order ahead of time for our next occasion!

I ordered chocolate cake and cheesecake. Definitely aesthetically pleasing, good for gifts. However, the price is not reasonable and did not follow with exceptional taste. The customer service was mediocre at best with non helpful answers when asked what is the most popular choice and why.

Ordered my grandmother's 90th birthday cake from here since she wanted something light and without a bunch of "oily buttercream". We opted for the lemon cream cake and it was perfect! It had a delicate lemon flavour and the light cream went great with it. The exterior had crushed meringue that was so soft and added a bit of texture. The fresh flower topping was great as well but they can't guarantee exact colours if you have a colour scheme in mind for your event. Enjoyed the cake overall but since the price point is a bit higher than other bakeries I think we'll reserve Decadent Brulee for very special occasions.

I ordered the coconut cream cake for my sister’s birthday and it was absolutely delicious - I would highly recommend this for people who like coconut and a cake that is decadent without being too “heavy”. Yes, it’s on the pricey side but the cake is enormous, beautifully decorated and tastes heavenly so I think you get what you pay for.
