For 15$ a pastry, the lemon barely had many a taste. It was just whipped cream & colored white chocolate. There are so many other pastry store that have better offers unfortunately.
Go here only if you want to try the illusion I guess.
Cute interior, nice counter service.

Four ladies walk in to a pastry shop. Perfection. The host was such a delight & acoommodated all our questions. We tried a number of Tromps & the plating was so fun!!
I got the caramel lotus milkshake, at first it was taking a little long for the service for my drink but then as soon as my lips met the straw it was absolutely breathtaking, great place would love to come again.

Super cute place for all of the girlies & influencers (which I am not but I have a monthly budget for sweets!) I got the viral trompe l'oeil & it was a little disappointing. Took them to go & the box opened in the car had to eat them on the way. Beautiful on the outside but tasted like regular vanilla ice cream on the inside with rock hard interior. Good for pictures!
Personelle, incroyable rien a dire. La nourriture incroyable aussi c'était excellent & ma famille & moi sommes contents. PETIT INCONVÉNIENTS la pouper a la fenêtre. Par piter enlever la. Elle fait trop peur.

Very cute place! It has lots of unique desserts & they are super sweet! Very passionate about what they do. Must visit in Montreal for the viral crunchy fruit.
Our experience in pistache was overall good the staff was accomodating. I found the tromp d'oeil to be a really cool experience. A Little on the pricey side for a pastry that was okay but it's always fun to try something new. The coffee was great! & my family had a fun & new experience :)
After the reviews I saw it was 50/50 I went & honestly it was good i enjoyed it a lot the place was very nice & people were kind I took the raspberries & it was good
I can't understand how all those food bloggers claim that those trompe-oeil cakes are so tasty & amazing. It's an overpriced crust full of color around basic cream with no flavor or nice texture. Even the cheese cake is sub par. The chocolate ice-cream tastes like cheap basic cacao powder. Everything looks good, but nothing i tried tasted good or was worth the price.
Ambiance tranquille relaxe beau décor bien avec la thématique pistache. Malheureusement les trompe l'oeil n'était pas du tout à la hauteur. J'ai pris 1 mangue 1 pistache & 1 ananas. La mangue on dirait quelle a était fait avec des mangue périmé. Pistache goûte la pistache mais pas aussi bon que les autre place ou j'ai goûter des trompe l'oeil. Ananas était le seul qui était bon à mon goût. J'avais pris aussi 1 jus d'orange pressé. Une fois encore vraiment déçu première fois que je vois de la glace dans un jus d'orange pressé. Il y avait plus de glace que de jus. Le cône cheminée Dubai était bon mais le temps d'attente pour le préparer était extrêmement long. Je ne crois pas retourner d'aussi tôt. Ananas a était manger au complet cheminé également. Mais mangue & pistache vraiment vraiment déçu!
