I'm glad we stopped in at Bobbette & Belle recently for some dessert and coffee. We tried a couple different slices of pie, a brownie, and a Nanaimo bar. All were good quality; the kind you'd expect from a high-end bakery. All of the items had a uniqueness to them even though they were standard bakery items. I also noticed that nothing tasted overly sweet, as though care had been taken to add just enough sugar, but no more than necessary. The counter person was very friendly and helpful, answering our questions, and helping us through our initial indecisiveness. I definitely plan on coming back at some point. Also, as you can see from my photo, you can stop in here to buy whole cakes and pies too.
I always order cupcakes from Bobbette and Belle when I am in Toronto. I love the red velvet cupcake and the carrot cupcake too! Please note before leaving negative reviews that they use Swiss Meringue Cream cheese buttercream (noted in their amazing recipe book which I bought). It is a much lighter, fluffier and stable buttercream with a delicate cream cheese flavour and I love it! I encourage buying their book because they share so many bakery secrets and techniques. It’s also great to bake the bakery if you live far away like me (Quebec). The only bummer is that the vanilla cupcakes do dry out when I don’t eat them the same day. But given that they are made with fresh ingredients it’s just like all other home made baked goods. Best enjoyed asap!
I had ordered a custom cake for my husband's milestone birthday and had received confirmation, including an email chain with a team member to discuss the order in detail. Unfortunately, when arriving to pick up the cake a few hours before the party, the cake was no where to be found. The manager sent an email a couple days later to apologize (but the owner did not call as per the reply below), the reason provided was that, "the cake had been made but sent to [the] other location and it was not discovered until close to closing time by the team up there". All this tells me is that the issue was in fact discovered by the bakery before closing and still nothing was done to fix it, even when the pick up time wasn't scheduled until mid-afternoon the following day. This means the day of pick up, the cake sat at the other location, all while knowing it was at the wrong location. This was a big mistake, and as much as I love the cakes, I just can't trust ordering from here again!
What a great operation. This is a classic example of passion for their craft. As soon as you walk in their store you realize their bakery is the real deal. They even shipped my custom order within hours. After a simple confusion. I was so impressed how they handled getting everything perfect. I would definitely recommend Bobbette& Belle to all. Kid-friendliness: If your kid likes baking, this would be a great place to see how it's truly done. Wheelchair accessibility: You can walk right in from the street and there is no step or incline.
Many dessert options to choose from and can order cakes! Interior is beautiful. Bought the strawberry cupcake and did not disappoint. The blueberry tarte cake was a bit too dry for me but still very delicious.
I live nearby so have popped in for baked goods a few times, always trying something new as I haven't found anything that I like yet. It's a really cute place with comfortable seating and a big selection, I really wanted to like it. My biggest complaint is how dry and flavourless the items are and especially for the price. I just had a ~$6 cupcake which was moist but other than the colour and the label, would not have been able to tell it was chocolate.
Super cute shop for the coffee and sweets lover in your life. I stopped in on a whim and grabbed an Americano and a scone. I don't have a huge sweet tooth so I appreciated that the scone wasn't very sweet, delightfully crunchy, and was riddled with little pops of flavour from the blueberries. Americano was smooth and delicious without being too acidic. The staff was welcoming and friendly. Henry was particularly helpful when I asked what he recommended. Will definitely be stopping by again to try out the other intriguing treats they have on display!
