I saw the glowing reviews here & decided to get a cake for a special occasion but I unfortunately have to say it is overhyped. The cake was dry & the icing a bit too stiff. While I have to agree that the owner is sweet & the flavour combinations are unique, I do not think it offers the best value for your money, especially given the size of the cake.

I got two chocolate cakes for a special occasion & they were absolutely delicious. One was regular, one was chai (ginger + cardamom). The crumb was so tender, & the icing was just the right amount of sweet. These are some of the best cakes I've ever had, & they are affordable ($10 for small, $25 for large).

When we moved to Montreal, one of our local friend introduced this cute & dreamy pastry in middle of town🥹🩷. For 2&half years the first pastry shop pop up in my mind for birthday cake is here😍. It's local pastry shop & the baker is really kind & friendly woman with big smile & ready to explain & help you to chose🥰. We tried different types of cakes: Classic Chocolate, Orange & Cardemom, Vanilla & Honey, Rose & Vanilla, Lavender & Honey, all of them are so tasty, soft, creamy, the ratio of cake & icing is amazing, their look is cute & dreamy & simple with reach flavors & combination of flavors will be different every time you go there. I personally love other flavors than chocolate cake here. Doesn't have reservation & it's first come first serve & better to pick up cake within first hours of opening to have various choices, her cake is coming in two different sizes which is small & other one is a bit bigger. It's cash only. My friends always love the cakes I bought for their birthdays from here & they always ask for the address😍. Love this shop with all cakes/cupcakes & cute decoration🥹🥰🩷

Ive known this place since 2007 & it is the BEST cupcake, brownie & cake place ever. Lemon vanilla cakes, chocolate chai, lavender, red velvet, & i recently had a line icing cake with vanilla that blew my mind!!!! I also the want to keep this GEM a secret as she can only make so much! A true blessing of the plateau & after 7 years of being out of Montreal she was the first place i came back to, as her cakes are to DIE FOR!!!

The absolute best. I had these cupcakes at my wedding ten years ago. & moved away from Montreal- but whenever someone goes to Montreal, they bring me cupcakes from there. I am so lucky. They are the best- the perfect ratio of icing & cake, the perfect texture of cake. I'm eating one now that has been in my freezer, saved for a special day. You've got to find out for yourself how wonderful these are. & the gal that makes & sells them- she's lovely.
