| - I'm pretty sure if I came in the afternoon or earlier in the evening, this place would have been 5 stars. Although this bakery closes at midnight on a Sunday, when we got here at around 10pm, almost everything was gone and nothing was fresh. Now I don't know of many bakeries that still bake at 10pm, but I don't really understand the purpose of being open until midnight if you're just going to serve a smaller selection of Chatime drinks along with a small selection of leftovers.
So as you can see, I was thinking "oh boy, can't believe I drove here for this," until I took a bite of their Black Forest Cake. I don't even like Black Forest Cake and it was delicious - so good to the point that I will have to make a return here at a more appropriate time to try their other items. The staff was also very friendly, and gave us steamed milk on the side for free. A big kudos to them.
I also bought their leftover cheese bread, and while the bread was a bit hard when I took it home, a light toast in the morning was all it needed to make it taste fresh again. If the leftover was this good, I can't wait to see what it would taste like fresh.
My only suggestion is that if the bakery decides to close late, then it would be helpful to replenish at least a few items so that customers who make the trip at odd times won't feel disappointed. I really wanted to try their signature crepe cake, but alas no luck. Nevertheless, I'm glad to finally find an Asian Bakery that would parallel the quality of 85°C Bakery, the famous Taiwanese bakery chain. I sincerely hope that they do well so they can open one in downtown Toronto, preferably right next to my condo.
