This is a wonderful local bakery which sells a variety of exquisitely prepared pastries, including croissants, cakes, cookies, and other delicious items. Absolutely wonderful place to stop by. There is a limited number of seats available inside as well. Great location in West Kildonan on Main Street. I highly recommend.

Staff are very friendly. I bought 9 different desserts and my family loved all of them. All very fresh and creamy.

I live across the city but I would always make the effort to stop at this bakery when nearby.
I love so many of the fantastic bakeries we have all across the city.
Yesterday I ordered 3 pastries, a chocolate brownie, creme brûlée and a loaf of bread.
The pastries were all disappointing. Croissants were not flakey but chewy. The brownie was definitely stale. I threw it away.
It’s sad that this is not the place it once was. I did not know it was under new ownership until I read other reviews.
But I would say the sourdough bread was absolutely fresh and still warm! It was not up to my normal expectation for sourdough… but was very good bread.
We have such amazing places here in Winnipeg that any business will face some stiff competition from other bakery’s. The expectation coming into a small place like this is that it will be fresh, and an authentic experience. I doubt I will be back.

Picked up a dozen macaroons yesterday, unfortunately some were quite stale. The ones that were fresh were good but very disappointed - haven't been to the bakery for a few years. The store is lovely with lots of tempting items.
Will pass on macaroons though going forward if I return

Not the best desserts I’ve ever tried. Each piece costs almost $7, but is really small. And, unfortunately, all of them tasted like there are too much butter inside.
