| - I have been here a couple times, most recently after going to Starbucks across the street and realizing there was zero seating available.
This girly bakery is cute. There isn't much seating, just a few small tables for two and some counter seats. But this is more of a grab-and-go type place anyways. They have some prepared foods, like jars of homemade soups, sandwiches, etc. in a fridge at the back. I'm sure they make a lot of money from busy Bay Street workers picking up dinner before going home. They have a selection of tarts that look amazing... On my last visit, my friend and I sat there and can't say there's much ambiance. No music. The only noise was drilling from some construction in the building...
On both visits I just got macarons ($2.20 each incl. tax). They were quite nice. I especially like the chai flavour. However, I found that some flavours were more fresh than others and some macarons were not as crisp and light on the outside as they should be. They definitely can't compare to the macarons at Nadege, which are consistently wonderful.
As mentioned by other reviewers, the service here is pretty awful. We walked in and were peering at the macarons, trying to decide what to get. The girl behind the counter doesn't greet us but just says bluntly, "we don't have all the flavours listed there today; there's NO salted caramel!" She did inform us of a few additional flavours available, including the chai one and also a pomegranate one. She put them in plastic baggies even though we said we were going to sit down. (Well, at least she let us drink our Starbucks there without getting mad). I don't really understand how one can be so morose when surrounded by lovely sweet delicacies!
