  • I love Laduree. Theres a reason they have been one of the world's most successful macaron makers. They have been around since the late 1800s! When friends and family ask "Is it worth the price?" I say yes. When they ask "Is it worth the wait?" I say no if its over 20 minutes because time is precious... When they ask "Is it really better than all the other cheaper macarons in Toronto" I would say its hard to reply - Everyone has different preferences in their dessert. Some like very very sweet macarons, some like a little chew vs. others like it flaky and soft. Some want to support local small bakers rather than international baking giants. I personally prefer Laduree macarons above all because I like the way the meringue feels in my mouth as I bite in, and I like their balance of sweet in the filling and/or the tart fruit. The macarons are pricey but this is expected from such a revered dessert maker all the way from Paris.... My husband and I went in to have a snack after a day of shopping. It was around 3pm when we checked in at the boutique and the lady let us know she would call us when our table was ready. This was nice because we could continue shopping rather than waiting. We were called to come about 20 minutes later which is 10 minutes sooner they told us it would take. We were seated in the pretty, decorated boutique. The servers came by with printed Laduree paper table cover and Laduree coasters and matching Laduree napkins. Our drink came with Laduree logo stir-sticks. I appreciate these frivolous but pretty, "Fine" touches, it makes the experience that much more special. Its very 'French' in their ways. We ordered brioche french toast and two flavoured teas. The toast came out warm and the raspberry coulis came on the side (the server offered to pour for us but I insisted I pour for instagram) and a side of cream, decorated with a some fresh raspberries. I kid you not this was one of the best french toasts we have ever had in our lives. Maybe we were just really hungry... Maybe it was the Laduree magic... I would definitely come here again to treat ourselves to fine dessert. If you're looking for value in your dessert, this is not the place you should be going. For example, I think Costco macarons taste great for their price and quantity. A lot of my girlfriends have used Costco macarons for wedding favours etc. and for their budget it was a great idea. I think if you're walking into Laduree wanting value you are going to be disappointed... I took 1 star off for the following reason: - The line can be organized a bit better with some sort of signage explaining the situation - I wish they had more seating (bigger boutique)
