| - Butter Avenue was brightly lit when my partner and I walked in. A few people were ahead of us purchasing goodies, but wait time to get your dessert was not bad. When I first walked in, the place looked very narrow. I was surprised because I had seen people sitting, but I saw no chairs or tables. Then I realize that there was actually a basement where you can sit. But since I was pressed on time, I purchased the desserts and left.
I went on Dec 31, so I wasn't surprised that a lot of the tarts and mousse cake were sold out. I especially wanted to try the St. Honore Raspberry, but the person in front took the last one. I settled with Terre et Neige instead. I also purchased 6 macarons (lychee, earl grey, white chocolate strawberry, cassia, pistachio, chestnut matcha) I loved the lychee macaron. They are very very delicious, depending on which ones you get, some were sweet, but not sickeningly sweet. Another aspect is that some of the macarons have fillings! My favourite out of the 6 was lychee, because of the inside filling.
In terms of Terre et Neige - I had higher expectations from hearing positive feedback from all my friends. It was nothing too special in my opinion. It tasted like typical mousse cake. Although, the matcha macaron on top was pretty good. The portion size was much tinier than what the pictures look like.
All the desserts come in cute cardboard boxes which looks great when bringing as a gift to someone. I would return here again when I come back to Toronto. And I am definitely trying one of those other tarts (still have my eyes on St. Honore Raspberry)!
