  You can't walk past the window of this place without going in. Monumental sized meringues, crispy and delicate palmeras, lofty egg challas, baguettes and loaves of bread draw you in. The countertops are filled with delectable pastries, savoury rotis, and all the things we crave, crammed into one tiny spot on Parliament. Family owned and operated, the counterperson was polite and proud of her offerings. I had the almond pretzel filled with jam, a palmera, and an egg challah, and it was all delicious and fresh. Great prices too. We couldn't help ourselves and ate the pretzel and palmera as we strolled down Parliament. A definite must-go-to in Cabbagetown.

  THE GOODS: The baked goods here are divine! The veggie roti is quite delicious as well. It's usually on the back counter, so you have to ask for it. Almost everything is freshly baked, daily. Very large variety of baked goods; from breads to pies to meringues to cookies. The prices are very reasonable for what you're getting! THE LOCATION & ACCESSIBILITY: Contrary to the name, this place is not a cafe. It's a walk-in bakery. It's very narrow and unassuming. If you're not paying attention, you will miss it, walking by (I know I have, the first few times I walked past)! The interior can really only accommodate one person in width, so patience is required. It is not wheelchair accessible. The debit/ credit machine is located behind the displays, so you'll have to let the sales person know so they can prep the machine for your use. Generally, it's not very busy, no matter what time of day you go in. The store is close to the bus route, as well, should you not be a local. THE STAFF: This place is family owned; friendly. One associate is a little shy (I presume she's the child of the owners). The proprietors are people of few words but are very nice, considerate and patient (especially if you have a hard time choosing between delicious treats!)

  Very unassuming little bakery. Bought a couple pies here and was blown away by the quality. Especially for the price! Going to have to go back and try some other desserts sold here. All of the baked goods look amazing.

  The pastries here are absolutely delicious and the portions are quite large! The woman who always helps me is so lovely. I've brought her treats to a few dinners and as a hostess gift for the morning after a dinner party and they're always really well received. I keep meaning to try their bread. Highly recommend.

  Hands down the best bakery! Lovely and helpful staff, delicious goods and a display window that is determined to break your diet. Cannot recommend enough - my go-to place for birthday cakes, dinner party treats and hostess gift goodies. You can't go wrong. Really.
