| - Sorelle specializes in, as I like to label it, "everything free" ... i.e. dairy free, soy free, nut/peanut free, sesame free, gluten free ... As someone with a sweet tooth with dietary restrictions, I previously drove up to Richmond Hill to buy baked goods to celebrate a friend's birthday. I was excited when the new location in Yorkville opened as it is the perfect audience for this type of bake shoppe. I have tried a few of the cupcakes and each time, while I am excited that I can eat them worry-free, the icing is delicious but the cake is stale. As an icing lover, this is not a deal breaker so I would be willing to order more cupcakes. Yesterday, I tried the Nanaimo Bar and it was amazing. No dry or stale taste like the cupcakes. The middle layer (traditionally the creamy custard) was perfectly sweet and creamy like the real thing.
I can't comment on the meals because I am a bit scared to wait in the line. There are very few tables at the Yorkville location (I recall the Richmond Hill location had a floor of seating) so while the location is still new and exciting, I am not ready to brave it for a sit down meal.
While the price point for the baked goods is on the higher end, the portion size is huge. You could comfortably split any of the baked goods or save some left overs for later. All in all, the price point is what I would expect for the location and caliber of the baked goods. This place might be worth skipping as a take away bakery if you have no dietary restrictions but a must try for someone with allergies/restrictions.
The box is also so beautiful so would make a great gift.
