. "Yikes... working so close to Orchid Pastry is a health hazard! Tucked away in the corner of a strip mall, you would never know this charming Persian bakery existed. \n\nI especially enjoy Orchid's pastries because they are not overly sweet and light. My favourite items to get are their variety boxes (about $15-$20) that contains 3 vanilla jelly rolls, 3 cappuccino jelly rolls, and either 3 napoleons or 3 tiramisu. They also make baklava, canoli, puddings, and a variety of Persian cookies.\n\nThe sponge cake of the jelly rolls are moist with a light cream filling. So far, the napoleons are the best ones I've had, with flaky puff pastry and a whipped vanilla custard-like cream. The tiramisu is also in my category of favourites, with moist layers of coffee soaked cake surrounded by a light chocolate cream. \n\nThe cookies are about $1.60/each or cheaper for half a dozen or dozen (~$10). Highly recommend any of their buttery shortbread cookies especially the fruit filled sandwich ones or walnut with icing sugar. Other baked items to try are the: chocolate wafer; berenj (Persian rice cookie) with poppy seeds; and this chewy almond sandwich cookie with vanilla that looks and has a texture of a macaron. \n\nIf you're in the area, stop by Orchid Pastry for delectable pastries and cakes. Definitely will not disappoint!"^^ . "2"^^ . . "3"^^ . "2013-05-30T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . "5"^^ . .
