| - Sometimes, nothing beats a well made croissant. How does Patisserie Sebastien fair? Very well in my opinion.
Pros:
Very good croissants
Friendly service
Cons:
Drinks are a bit pricey
Whenever I go into a non Chinese bakery, I get a croissant. It's one of my favourite pastries by far. Nothing beats a well done buttery croissant. I was at the street festival at Yonge and Lawrence over the weekend. I saw this place and immediately started craving a croissant.
As soon as you walk in you get a whiff of freshly baked goods. For a bakery on Yonge Street, it's got quite a number of tables to sit down at. Right at the register, there's a glass showcase filled with a number of baked goods. I will be back to try them but I came for a croissant so that was my main focus.
We ordered 2 croissants and 2 pops. It was a hot day so we wanted something cold to drink. The croissants were very well made. It wasn't the best one, but a very good one nonetheless. Flaky on the outside and buttery soft on the inside. We gave some to our little one and she loved it. If a bakery does a croissant well, it should do the more complicated things well too. I'll come back for sure to see if that holds true for this place as well.
The staff were very friendly. There was a lady at the register, and a young waitress to help out. Both were very friendly and helpful. We needed an extra bowl for our little one and some other concessions and they were met with no problem at all.
One thing to note for me, we were charged $2 for each pop. I don't know if it's just the Chinese in me, but $2 for a canned pop is too much. I may be too old school and not understand that this may be the standard price now a days. Still, I don't like paying for things I know are not worth it.
All in all, this is a nice little bakery to come in and have a nice little treat. I will be back myself to try some other things I had an eye on my first time.
