Tried their donuts, almond cake, chocolate bark sample, canele, and soft serve ice cream.
Their donuts are quite chewy and dense, but the flavour of their fillings are good. Tried their cinnamon sugar, haskap jam, and a feature flavour which was chai and dulce de Leche. Good amount of filling. The feature flavours didn't really compliment each other but the flavour of each filling was good and creamy.
Tried their Kelsie and Chocolicious soft serve. The Kelsie came with vanilla soft serve, haskap berry jam, freeze dried raspberries, whereas the chocoliciois was chocolate soft serve, both with chocolate syrup and chocolate shards. Both soft serve ice cream base were too sweet and lacked flavour, especially the vanilla. The haskap berry jam, while wonderful on its own, overpowers everything else. Overall, there is great potential here, I hope they can improve on the quality of their soft serve.
The almond cake stole the show. It was super light, moist, and melted in your mouth. I love the thin crisp top, almost like a meringue. The cake is similar to dacquoise, a good delicate flavour of almond without any of the weird artificial almond extract flavour. Beautifully done. Highly recommend this cake. Came back to the store just for their almond cake.
The canele had a decent crunchy outside, but the inside should've been lighter. Otherwise, it was a great surprise to find canele here in Kingston.
They sell takeaway frozen pies, drinks, and chocolate goods.

Read moreIncredible donuts! I tried the custard & rhubarb, and it was delicious. Probably the best donut I've ever had; I've had similar high-end donuts from some other small shops, they're similar to Italian nutella-filled or crema-filled Bombolone that I've had in Toronto, the dough is incredibly fresh and moist, and I was blown away by the amount of custard filling--a lot of filled donuts have a bit of the filling on the side to make you think there's a lot and then they skimp on it, not the case here, loaded with filling - glad I was eating it over a plate! Really high quality custard, too. Reasonably priced for the exceptional quality.
While the donuts are the star of the show, the brioche buns were also excellent and the panna cotta was good. The chocolate wasn't my thing but I tend to have pretty pedestrian tastes for chocolate, I don't doubt that chocolate connoisseurs would have a...
Read moreWhat a little gem I found! The donuts are great. Fluffy and STUFFED with light, airy, slightly sweet fresh cream. We had the raspberry mango (omg the mango mousse), strawberry cheesecake, coconut passion fruit and more. They told me everything are made from scratch (you can taste it!).
Suggestion (my opinion alone): the place’s warm wood-toned furnishing are great but the place is too open to be cozy. It doesn’t feel like a place I want to spend an afternoon. More like a grab and go place. Put up some dividers, have low hanging pendant lights, separate the dinning area from the door...
