| - Woohoo! I've found my new favorite bakery in Mile End! The Quebecois pastry chef and owner of this tiny establishment is quietly, discreetly, baking the best cupcakes in town (using organic ingredients, including ones grown in his own garden), and even has delectable offerings for gluten free and vegan diets.
Cerise is easy to bypass because of its boring sign. I only happened upon it because I am genetically predisposed to finding pastry shops. And everything I have tried there has been moaning-phenomenal. Their basic, simple and fresh pumpkin pie is the metal of all desserts. I ate half of one in a single setting, and yes, I do recommend trying this at home. They bake seasonally, and in the colder months, will offer basil and fig tarts and pear pies. In the meantime, enjoy a coconut croissant aux amandes, choco-banana croissant, raspberry mousse verveine, or a killer lactose-free creme brulé.
NB: This review should mean a lot coming from a gal who eats pastries every single day (seriously), and bakes at least twice a week.
