  • Really, really, really wanted to love this place... but it's great marketing and cute macarons couldn't disguise: poor planning, and unmet expectations. The week it opened there was HUGE buzz: word of mouth, BlogTO video post - it was everywhere and everyone heard. Macarons are still very trendy (hello, THE macaron house, Laduree just opened at Yorkdale!) and combined with the craft of decorating them as Disney, Sanrio, and Studio Ghibli characters was a guaranteed win. Expectations were high. So imagine me and my friends disappointment (when we drove 45 mins to get there), to find that only 3 flavours of macarons, and 1 cake left... and a MASSIVE line. The line was expected, but the lack of stock was not. A week later, we finally got our hands on 15 of the 18 flavours of macarons. This time we called ahead and ordered in advance. They were, indeed, beautifully crafted. And for that alone, it's worth the price. But flavour-wise, only half of them were on point. The best were Vietnamese coffee, black sesame, pistachio, hazelnut, mango and all the tea flavours. Least enjoyable: salted caramel. In summary, great for photos and visual indulgence... but better taste can be found elsewhere. Would return to try more cakes. But due to their frequent lack of stock... it would be a while before I venture there again. Hope they adjust their business to meet demand (which is there!)... to avoid having more disappointed customers.
