| - This cute little shop is located on Elm Street, just north of the Eaton Centre. I've been to this shop several times since it opened and so far my experiences have been extremely satisfactory.
The store is small and narrow inside, however there are still a few tables and chairs for people to sit and enjoy their desserts and beverages. The lady that works there is very friendly and took the time to explain the pricing, flavors and products that they offer. The store offers mini cupcakes, cheesecakes, and marshmallow bars, as well as some beverages. I understand that they are expanding their hours and adding an evening menu that will offer treats (with a few liquor infused bite sized goodies) as well as dessert inspired alcoholic beverages - which I find to be a very neat and unique idea.
What I ordered:
1. Marshmallow bars (3/5 stars)
Cookies and cream
I found this particular flavor to be a bit bland in taste and hard in texture. I noticed that the bar had what looked like crushed up oreos and I think the oreo itself may have been what caused the dryness of the marshmallow bar. I can still taste a bit of the marshmallow and cookie but I was not too fond of it.
S'mores
DELICIOUS. Chewy, chocolatey, and marshmallowy goodness. I wish my mother had packed a few of these in my lunch box when I was a kid. My favourite of the two bars I tried.
2. Mini Cupcakes (4/5 stars)
Warning: when they say bite size they mean bite size.
These cute bite size delicacies are so moist and delicious that after I have consumed 10 minis I am still craving more. I know the whole concept of the shop is to not have too many sweets and to avoid overindulging but I have no self control when it comes to something this tasty. Their signature bite called "Just Bite It" is absolutely unique and delicious. The cupcake is composed of a vanilla cake stuffed raspberry puree and topped with a raspberry vodka vanilla buttercream icing. It is my favourite and I truly cannot eat just one! Other flavours I've tried are strawberry, cocoa, banana splitz, mint, lemon, mocha, and PB and J - all of which were little scrumptious bursts of flavor in my mouth.
3. Cheesecakelettes (4/5 stars)
The size of the cheesecakelettes are a decent size. They aren't as tiny as the bites but they are probably smaller than a "restaurant" sized slice of cake. I have tried all 4 flavors and my taste buds are impressed. My favourite overall is the C4 which is a chocolate cheesecake on a cookie, dark chocolate ganach and chocolate chip. It is the richest one out of all 4 however I did not find it to be too sweet. I find with chocolate cheesecakes they are usually hit or miss - this is a definite hit.. I like how this cheesecake is predominantly chocolate in flavor with a subtle cheesecake taste. Tied for second would be the classic strawberry and mango - these treats are fairly "light" for cheesecakes but really hit the flavour mark. My least favourite was the cookie cheesecake. I didn't really taste the cookie inside of it and it tasted more of a regular cheesecake with a cookie crumb crust at the bottom. Nothing really spectacular about it.
Overall, it's a great bakery with a great concept.I love the idea of bite sized cupcakes and mini cheesecakes. After all, these "portion controlled" desserts are a terrific way to enjoy a lovely treat in a "guilt free" sort of way.
The cost of the products are on the higher end of the scale but I think that is now the norm in speciality bakeries. The service was exceptional and the products are pretty unique and most importantly delicious. It is definitely a must try for those that happen to be in the neighbourhood looking for a small treat.
