Reviews portray Patisserie Cremino as a place with an immense variety of pastries and strong coffee, where desserts are frequently described as delicious and well made, from mille feuille to chocolate rolls and other French pastries; the atmosphere is often noted as cozy with a European vibe and the staff is described as pleasant and attentive. The café is praised for high quality and consistent results, with some calling it the best cafe coffee in Canada and a friendly space to gather with friends, while others find the prices a bit high but worth it. Several comments highlight reliable crowd pleasers such as fraisier style cakes and birthday toppers, along with croissants and seasonal logs that families look forward to. A few negative experiences are recounted, including a disruptive moment near closing involving a young server and a policy shift to plastic cups that soured a celebration, and an evening visit where a cake was not fresh. Overall the reviews point to a popular destination for indulgent desserts and good coffee, though some improvements in service consistency and value would balance the strong flavors.
Horrible. I called for a specific order for a special occasion. I called 1 week in advance & When I get there the cake is not at all what I asked for. The owner tells me, as crazy as this sounds, that i am a baby & it doesn't matter. I asked him to fix it & he refused because he said it was fine. Please to everyone out there be careful before visiting this person. Deal with caution I will never step foot again.
I had a terrible experience. The owner was rude & didn't make the cake I requested. All the negative reviews about his attitude are true. Save your time & money-don't go here!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the wonderful experience at your cafe today! The chocolate cake was absolutely delicious I also really enjoyed the quality of the coffee. Your staff was incredibly polite & attentive, which really enhanced the visit. I will definitely be recommending your cafe to my friends & family!
I ordered a gender reveal cake from there. The cake looked beautiful, & the design was exactly what I wanted. It tasted light & delicious. Overall, it was a good experience!
Different name, SAME quality 👍 What a wonderful bakery for croissants, cakes, & pastries ! We're regular customers & really enjoy having great coffee & treats in their spacious sitting area. Their Christmas logs are a tradition in our family. Bravo, Olivier 👏 Many more years of success !
The restaurant gives french vibes service was amazing but i saw alot of rude customers they were screaming & the people that were working & the works were trying there best to be polite the cakes were really good i really recommend that & please be more gentle with those poor workers
I ordered a custom cake from them, & let's just say it was so good, I almost considered keeping it all to myself. They took my vague description ("make it look pretty & taste amazing") & turned it into a masterpiece! The design was spot-on, & the taste? Pure magic. Moist, flavorful, & probably the reason I'll be at the gym every day this week. Highly recommend if you want a cake that's both a feast for the eyes & your taste buds!

The rating doesn't do justice to Cremino. I've been going there for 10-15 years & never disappointed me. Patries & cakes are fresh & delicious but I have a sweet spot for their small cookies. Good for any occasions. The service did get worse around covid specifically 1-2 employees that seemed entitled. They have young staff now, engaged & ready to help. They don't take credit but it's clearly advertised. People jump the gun too easily so give it a try.
I discovered this place thanks to the DoorDash app. I was looking for "pastries" on DoorDash while I was in the area. After I placed my order at another store, the app recommended some nearby local favorites within my search criteria. Since they are not on the app I decided to walk in to the store to pick up a box of mixed cakes/biscuits. I was impressed by how clean the establishment was. The presentation & the smell for freshly baked good was just amazing. It would have been convenient if they offered delivery via my favorite app, hence removing 1 star. Otherwise it's a 5/5.
