| - My brother and I came here for an afternoon snack. Great fall weather - clear skies and crisp and cool temperatures - great Friday vibes. The service is quick and friendly and the storefront is beautifully decorated - photo frames, great display for the treats, and a chalkboard menu. Even though it's a walk-in store and there's only room to sit and eat outside (1-2 tables that seat up to 2 each), it's a cute shop.
We ordered two cupcakes ($3 each) and two cookies (2 for $2.75 or $1.50 each).
Cupcakes - both had blue icing to go along with the Jays games #cometogether
Batter's Up: Chocolate base with crumbled peanuts, popcorn pieces, and a chocolate glaze. The icing was decent - light, sweet (but not in the too sweet I wanna throw it out way), and fluffy. The chocolate base was moist and good but, unfortunately, its taste was nothing special. The toppings on this cupcake are aesthetically beautiful and there's a hope that they'd taste as good as they look but they fell flat for me. By the time I bought it, the popcorn wasn't crispy but more stale and, overall, the flavours didn't work together well. A bit on the dry side for the toppings.
Salted Caramel: Chocolate base, salted caramel icing, and a caramel glaze. I liked this cupcake a lot more than the first one. While the cake base is the same - moist but average in flavour, the icing is what differentiates this cupcake. The salted caramel flavour was delicious though I wish it was a bit stronger. I'd recommend this one.
Cookies
Chocolate chip - this was a good chocolate chip cookie. Reminded me of a Tim Horton's cookie but with more chocolatey taste.
Snickerdoodle - this was probably the best thing I had. While the prices for the cookies are a bit high, this one was yummy and almost worth the price. Buttery - reminds me a bit of plain shortbread - and with the right amount of sweetness. I'd probably go back just for these ... and to try another cupcake flavour.
Overall, this is a decent place to get a baked treat in Markham - it's closeby for me and it could easily cater to the surrounding suburbs. Their cupcakes are mediocre though they have a unique selection of flavours that I have yet to try (e.g. smores, french toast, lemon drop, etc.). Their cookies are good and I'd for sure reommend their snickerdoodles. Their cupcake menu varies from week to week so be sure to check out their instagram and fb pgs. to see what's in store before you head out.
