JC Patissier — Restaurant in Thorold

November 2, 2022 - 26.27$ Order - Latte, Apple Cinnamon Cheesecake, Italian Crepe First Impressions - My experience here was great. Before walking in, the front had cute seasonal decorations that caught my eye. I was delighted with the clean-modern but authentic look the interior had. The nicely decorated brick wall and the display of baked goods on the other side gave me a warm nice feeling.

The first round I ordered the latte and apple cinnamon cheesecake. The latte was a perfect temperature to start immediately drinking, which at some cafes overheat the drink so I was happy drinking my coffee right at the start. 10/10

The apple cinnamon cheesecake was beautifully garnished with colourful fondant leaves and topped with cinnamon. While biting into it the cheesecake- it melted nicely, with small bits of apple and the coarse crust left on the palette, the filling and crust complemented well together. Preferably, It would've been nice if the the apple-flavour was deeper as the apple bits were the only flavour of apple I felt was in the dessert. However the texture was amazing- especially for the price. 8.5/10

The second round I ordered the Italian crepe. When it came to me I WAS excited not knowing what to expect. It was filled with ground meat and cheese with small bits of onion seasoned with common Italian herbs. While cutting in piece by piece there were many small pools of grease which wasn't pleasant. After a bit of time the grease made the crepes rubbery and bit hard to eat. Honestly, It tasted bland, spice would add a lot to this dish. 5/10

Service - The service was phenomenal. Workers would deliver your food if you were dining in, they made sure you had a good experience checking in once in a while. The pay-after eating system option was great as it felt like the customer-owner trust was good enough to allow that which made me feel comfortable acknowledging that, most cafes/bakeries are pay first so I'm glad this was an option because I was seated swiftly instead of waiting in the line. 10/10

Overall. If you're looking for cute cafe for a drink and dessert then this is a great option if you are in the...

Visited 16th of February.

My family and I have been visiting family in St Catherine's from Wales, UK and our cousin took us to JC Patissier one afternoon and it became one of the highlights of our trip! It's so quaint and sweet. The young girl who served us was absolutely wonderful. Food and drinks were brought to our seats and the choice of which was abundant!

We had three excellent quiches, all of which were vegetarian (huge win because we often struggle for choice as veggies in small towns). We also had the carrot cake, mixed fruit tart and lemon cheesecake. The desserts were all decadent. Clearly made by a professional! The coffee was reportedly very good also and my tea came loose leaf in a fun, vintage teapot. Top marks from a Brit!

The prices were considerably cheaper than expected considering we were having beautifully made desserts!

I also adored the mid-twentieth century jazz that was on too. Really added to the atmosphere. I dropped a star for atmosphere just because it felt a little cramped and tight in there and we had to return after 15 minutes to get a seat so if there's any room for expansion I think they should go for it! I'd also recommend labelling the muffins and quiches and other pastries not in the display cabinet because we didn't know what any of them were!

Highly recommend. Diolch...

Stopped by at 4:33pm on Saturday 8/16, the shop is cute looking but the service & food left much to be desired.

Hardly any stock left in the bakery case. Which would have been fine, except staff had already cleaned and turned off both crepe griddles even though they had a half hour left until close.

After they flat out refused to make the crepes we actually wanted I decided to try one of the remaining items; broccoli quiche and a small mixed berry smoothie.

Staff made it very clear they were not pleased with us deciding to dine in. Quiche was cold in the center and burning on the outside, had no real seasoning. "Berry" smoothie just tasted like vanilla; they also might want to consider posting the ingredients of things - I was not expecting dairy (im guessing yogur in my smoothie. Overall not a good experience at all, would...
