La Bastille Boulangerie Patisserie — Restaurant in Toronto

Visited recently due to being featured on social media for having the Dubai Croissant and as a local French bakery in the Scarborough area. La Bastille offers French pastries where all of their items are baked on-site and made directly available for sale through their retail store.

While one of their most popular items is the Dubai Croissant, their other baked items such as their other croissant varieties are also highly recommended. Their Pistachio Croissant is one of their butter croissants with pistachio paste and garnished with crushed pistachios, which overall was not overly sweet and is a great option for those who prefer a milder sweet taste. Other baked items include danishes, scones, muffins, tarts and breads that are available at the bakery.

Overall, it's definitely worth a visit just for the baked goods and for a taste of French pastries in the city. The bakery is mainly carryout only for the most part and they accept only credit cards on site. Also recommended to pre-order on their website if looking to order larger quantities especially since some of their pastries can be quite popular and sell...

Absolutely underwhelming! I have been looking forward to trying this bakery for a while and I finally made my way there this past Friday morning. One word ... mediocre, to say the least. I bought a sourdough baguette, a cinnamon pecan bun, a raspberry beignet, and a croissant. The croissant tasted stale, even though it definitely was not, not flaky at all. The cinnamon bun was alright, but really the same quality as what you can get at the grocery store. The raspberry beignet was okay, although it had way too much filling; I'm sure some people would like this, but the amount of filling made it super, super sweet. And the most disappointing of all, the baguette. An ACE baguette from the grocery store tastes better than this baguette. No crispy crust, not such sourdough taste, and just a bland, meh taste.

Too bad, I really wanted to like this bakery. The woman at the front was very lovely and the bakery has a nice inviting atmosphere, with some French music playing. It does feel like you are in a Parisian bakery when you step...

Loved everything I purchased. The girl was friendly and she knew all about the items i.jad questions about. Went back a second time, ready to spend over $200 for an event at the office... The female that was assisting me wasn't as friendly as the first lady. She was scratching her head over the baked goods, she has a very sour attitude and then told me I had to purchase a box or she would bag the items - a lot of the items that I was purchasing had fillings in it and if they were bagged they would either seep out or they would mess up the one on top. Because the first lady was smart enough to know that some of the items could be bagged, she boxed the items that needed to be boxed and bagged those that could have been bagged. This other lady just shrugged his shoulders and gave me a look. At that point. I just left everything that I had asked for and went elsewhere. I will be back and hopefully won't have to deal with that sour young lady. I will be back and hopefully won't have to deal with that...
