First time there. I am amazed how good the brioche are here. The best that I have had in North America!
Now I find that it's not really too hard to find decent coffee in Toronto, but since Pain Perdu closed, it has been hard to find a truly great bakery/restaurant imho. This is it!
Now I know that I am a very late arrival to the scene here. Yes they have been open for 20 years. But I have only been here a year as a resident of Toronto.
I spoke with the baker and am very impressed.
The service was good if somewhat cold in attitude. But I was the first customer of the day so they might of not had all their cylinders firing quite yet.
I highly recommend the place. I know that I shall be back often, especially on weekdays as there seems to be a long line up outside the door on weekends.
