  • Ever want to try and see what the French gets to enjoy every hour and every day? Douce France goes out annually to France and brings back only the best to share with us frozen Canadians. They're actually there now till the end of February sourcing their 2018 items to let us try and nibble. A small little quaint and rustic cafe just north of the busy intersection of Yonge & Eg. It looks more like a retail store but you can definitely sit among the shelves to enjoy a piece of Paris. The staff here is lead by a lovely lady who has the most wonderful crisp French Parisienne accent. She was very thoughtful to explain all the different treats that I've never heard of ... including the Soleil (yeah how could I resist.. blueberry or raspberry gelee and wrapped in marzipan). Here you can find many wonderful things that could be amazing host gifts or just a day to indulge in all the best butter and sugar confections. This also include the very famous and well known Angelina Hot Chocolate. As you go further back, youll find a few more savoury options including sauces and preserved vegetables. Just be aware on a few things... it's not cheap and barely affordable. A simple bag of candies can easily set you back $18 (My Soleils did!). That being said, you can find some gems here that are not only wonderful but wallet friendly. Kouignamann were here too and I would have loved to try the Brittany treat but ... I decided on the Soleils and Canele. Canele - One of my favourite baked treats from France. This is simple ingredients transformed into something absolutely wonderful. They're baked in bronze casts that allows the sugar to create a wonderful dark caramelized crust that is crispy and gives a nice crunch when biting into it. The flavour should be a rich vanilla and rum scent throughout and saturating the eggy airy custard inside. The texture would be like a super fresh steamed Vietnamese rice cake... a bouncy and lovely chew to it. The ones from Douce France are not quite there... the flavour profile and colour are all there. It's just the wrong texture. It was soft and doughy throughout the exterior and interior. That being said, the price was very favourable... Only $1.10 for a medium sized one. For the best Canele, try Blackbird or Roselle... both sell out consistently for good reason. 4/5 Is it for an every day trip.. probably not. I would even say that it's not even weekly. It can put a serious dent into your wallet but what a joy to find the occasional gem that gives you a bit of taste of France.
