Craque [de] Créme — Restaurant in Toronto

Without a doubt, this place has the most delectable, delicious, and irresistible pastries and desserts IN THE CITY. But these terms cannot do them justice. These are no common treats or pedestrian sweets — they are DELICACIES! Truly DIVINE confections!!!

The liege style waffles are INCREDIBLE (made on the coolest waffle irons — the custard stuffed cinnamon churro ones are out of this world!) and only matched by the utterly ASTONISHING crème brûlée! (Of which I am admittedly and ungovernably besotted — each flavour is a new best friend!)

And the bread pudding in a jar! Seriously a taste of heavenly ambrosia on earth. It’s a miracle I haven’t got my face stuck in a jar yet!

And the sorbet and ice cream! Oh my gosh, THE SORBET! THE ICE CREAM! New flavours all the time! 🤩🤩🤩

(I’ve often observed guys purchasing these frozen darlings for their partners, girlfriends, and wives to mark birthdays, anniversaries or Mother’s Day etc., — but they apparently make even better offerings of supplication when seeking forgiveness for blunders of the heart. Gentlemen take note: do NOT make the sinful and UNFORGIVABLE mistake of giving the leftover strawberry rhubarb sorbet to the kids!!! 🤣🤣🤣)

Seriously. It’s a treasure trove of mouthwatering delights here!

🤩🤩🤩

I often bring the cookies — and especially the fabulous canelé! — to share with coworkers and students, and everyone wants to know where they’re from and how to get more, more, more!

I especially recommend the canelé if you have a not-too-sweet tooth. They are disarmingly delightful.

I feel so fortunate that this phenomenal patisserie palace is in my neighborhood.

Seriously. Why are you still reading this? Get...

Good Day!

After hearing rave reviews of the Creme Brûlée here from a friend, we decided to stop by and try it out. We visited the early afternoon of March 4, around 1pm or so.

Anyway, after driving from Etobicoke we were excited to taste test several flavours. When we approached the establishment we were accosted by a surly crossing guard standing out front, yelling at us about one person at a time inside, even though the sign says 1 party at a time. I know he's not an employee or affiliated with your business - but perhaps he should be spoken to not to approach your customers like that.

Secondly when entering, and asking about the menu and options, the person behind the counter barely looked up at us or greeted us, and simply said "The menu is on the wall". Next we asked how much the items were, and he didn't look up and pointed at a sign and said "the prices are there". Right away I just wanted to walk out. I understand we all have bad days and these are trying times, but just felt very unwelcome. We just felt as if we were intruding and interrupting something more important. Furthermore, what if one of us were visually impaired or couldn't read? Perhaps there is a reason why someone is asking about the menu? Please be mindful of that.

You guys have plenty of good reviews and our friend loves your shop. We just wanted to offer feedback based on our personal experience in the hopes that you can use it to help make things even better for...

the Bakery items were great, I actually enjoyed the almond croissant. But the drinks were meh, no design on latte and taste pretty mediocre. No seating and not even a great visual for viewing the Bakery items, the person serving wasn't even enthusiastic about mentioning the name of items as we couldn't see them all (it didnt have card name written either so we had no option than asking what is what) Overall, wont visit again.

I understand that most of the good reviews are from delivery apps, which they normally dont get exposed to the service in store.

Added this section after the fabulous respond I got from the owner :) Also changed my review to 1 star, wont visit again and will be mentioning my experience to my friends. While everywhere in town are charging similar prices for better design and quality. If you think Latte is simply Espresso and milk, well maybe you also dont respect your own craft either. Mr. Passive aggressive, I walked in around 6 PM. BTW, you dont get to be rude when you are getting paid for your service. At the end of the day, this is your chosen job not mine. I haven't harassed you nor wrote a untrue comment. I am entitled to my...
