Cakes 4 Star
Service 1- 3 Star (depending who you get)
Dining 3 Star
Randomly located on Finch Avenue in a 1 level small strip plaza one wonders who on earth would come here for cake. Somehow I did and I'm quite happy about it despite a few things.
I've been to this bakery numerous times and when you first walk in you actually realize it is a Bakery/Restaurant which is sectioned off by a fish tank (a bit odd) further to the back of the establishment.
decor could use some work. Maybe a little too many personal touches where they should have hired a interior designer. Dining here is a hit or miss, most dishes are fairly good and a few are barely a pass but for an Asian place trying to past off French Food and Bakery their dishes are quite good. I really get a sense that a lot of effort and care is put into the food. Which gives me a vibe that this place is run by some snobberish foodie. (not a bad thing unless it becomes more snobberish than the latter)
The service as other reviewers have mentioned is grade a Snotty. The staff here has a VERY authentic HK (Hong Kong) charm and customer service. Especially the guy that runs the bakery alone and wears glasses, he is something *special*. With service like his it feels more like I'm walking in to a cheap Chinese diner than a bakery where I've been treated far better.
But honestly what were they thinking hiring that dude. People who usually buy cakes are in a joyous mood trying to celebrate a joyous occasion. He's just very depressing not just once or twice but consistently stand offish and rude in my experiences.
Despite the bad service the cakes here are good. Please do yourself a service and come for the cake and try to limit your interactions with the Man in dark rimmed glasses cause he's a bit of a buzz kill. If it weren't for the Meringue Cakes here I would not come back as often as I do. Which each time I have to muse up enough confidence and face that horrible snotty man but it's worth it in the end when I'm reunited with my Crunchy Creamy Meringue Cake and all is right with the world for that moment. :D
