I'm so happy to have found a French patisserie (bakery) in my neighbourhood. It sits right across from a French bistro et cafe as well. Double jackpot. Jules' reminds me of a tiny patisserie that used to be on our drive home, a long way's away from Toronto.
I played it safe and tried out the croissants et un pain au chocolat (aka. chocolate croissant). Both were pretty good. Just the right amount of butter (which means tons) and crispiness to start your day off merrily. And they are generous with the chocolate in the chocolat croissant.
I also had a quiche that I saved for later in the day. I knew I'd have mid-study hunger pains- It totally did the trick. Crust was overbaked but the eggs, ham and gruyere batter was tasty.
Couple downsides- too hot in there, poor seating options and stiff service. The staff should also speak French and I don't believe they do.
I may be back, peut-etre pour une tarte or a madeleine or something. Place is dangerously close to home, pun intended. Good thing the gym is smack in the middle of that walk lol.
I RECOMMEND: The chocolate croissant aka Pain Au Chocolat :) Hands down, no contest.
EXTRA TIP: Open on Sundays. So is THOBORS, the other bakery next door which gets a higher rating.
Now if I could just get someone to bring me my croissants and crossword puzzles in bed....
