La Favorite Pastry Shop

Decided to check this place out as its only a short walk from home. Glad I did! As soon I walked in I was greeted by the very friendly lady behind the counter.
I decided to purchase a pecan tart, fruit tart, and a piece of mango cake. The pecan tart was delicious, with a fantastic chocolate whipped cream that only added to the magic. The fresh fruit tart (always my go to) did not disappoint either. The fruit was amazingly fresh and the tart wasn’t soggy.
The mango cake was enjoyed by my boyfriend. Not my cup of tea as I’m not a fan of mango in general, but he rather liked it.
It all came to only $ 11.00!
The only downside is they don’t have little signs telling you what all the cakes are but the lady was more than willing to answer all my questions.
Good prices, fresh ingredients, and friendly service. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Great cakes. Pecan tart is fantastic! Average cookies.
I came here today bc I was driving past it on my way to dt. Plenty of parking so that was a bonus.
I bought the strawberry cheesecake and pecan tart. Both were very tasty and it was pretty cheap. The pecan tart is heavenly. It has a hazelut whipped chocolate cream on top that takes this not overly sweet tart to another level.
I bought a batch of cookies that were soft but tasted old. They were flaky and it was either poor ingredients were used or they were just past their due date. So minus a star. I minused another star bc I expected a bakery to sell fresh baked goods and these cookies were mediocre.
I might come for the cake again. But maybe not. Im undecided. It was good but not fantastic I have to come back asap good.

I’ve tried the pecan tart and the cranberry scone… it was so fresh and tasted exactly how a freshly baked pastry should taste! The tart filling was savoury rather than sugary and you don’t feel weighed down after eating. This is because all the baking is done using natural ingredients, no funny oils and whatnot. I only wish they sold more non-​cream filled cakes by the slices. The flavours are rich and complex but seems so simple! This is real good old fashioned baking done right.

This is the original location that spawned the local mini-​chain. This is a great bakery and they were on top of the fancy shmancy cake and mini-​cake trend twenty years ago and still going strong. It really does make me think of those ubiquitous Parisian neighbourhood patisseries. I have had at least a dozen different cakes from here over the years — all good, many great. They even make a black forest cake that I actually like, which is saying something given how awful that cake can be. They also make the traditional fruit and custard torte that, when the fruit is in season, is amazing.
So go to this location because this is the one where everything is made and because parking is never a problem.
