User Reviews and comments on Dufflet Pastries

At Dufflet Pastries you may have a problem deciding what it is that you want to take home with you. But if you're anything like me, you'll end up taking a taste of everything. This method of choice works excellently when you have a dinner party to attend and you are in charge of dessert. I stick with the smaller individual pastry desserts. It looks very generous and appetizing when presented nicely on a serving plate and everyone can have a wide variety of flavours as they sample a little bit of everything. The smaller pastries can be deceptive; one small pastry will satisfy the palette of two people, keep this in mind when you are picking you favourites and enjoy!

I LOVE Dufflet's lemon tarts! They are very tart/tangy - which is they way they should be IMHO. The cheesecakes and individual pastries/bars are also very good. We got the brandy eggnog cheesecake last Christmas and I'm ashamed to say that I ate the entire thing by myself in two days. Although Dufflet is a large supplier to numerous restaurants and stores in Toronto, their quality hasn't suffered at all.

Dufflet Pastries is a stop in Toronto that should not be missed. Located on Queen Street West, the cafe is an oasis after a long walk from downtown. Their Double Vanilla cupcakes are heavensent and my personal favorite but they have many, many other delicious cakes tarts, cookies, and other wonderful treats to have with a hot cup of coffee for a break in your day that will leave you with a spring in your step and a smile on your lips. Please check them out. You will be doing yourself a favor. They also have a store on Yonge Street that I haven't been too yet but I'm sure it's just as wonderful.

I LOVE YOUR VANILLA RASPBERRY MINI BUNDT CAKES - MODEST YET RICH AND SO MOIST YUM! ( I TRAVEL HALF WAY ACROSS THE CITY JUST TO TASTE THEM) HOW DO YOU MAKE THEM? I WOULD LOVE IT IF YOU WOULD PUT THE RECIPE ON YOUR WEBSITE. oF COURSE THE OTHER PASTRIES ARE GREAT BUT WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THESE IS THAT THEY ARE SO DEVCEPTIVELY MODEST LOOKING.

I've loved her cakes for years, whether it be cheesecake, mousse cake or daquiose. I've sold them to our customers at the restaurant at which I am employed at with complete certainty that they'd be satisfied beyond belief. I've recently discovered her petit fours and they are just amazing. I can't wait to give Dufflet my wedding cake order this coming June 2004. You can bet that my guests will also sample an array of her petit fours as well. Thank you Dufflet for making life a little bit sweeter without all the guilt. Sincerely, Leticia

Dufflet's delivery van parks on bike lanes... this is not only illegal but very dangerous for bikers are they have to go back into the traffic to go around the van... Completely irresponsible. No more Dufflet for me from now on.

You shud be open longer hours so we can enjoy a coffee and dessert some nights...especially during the summertime.

I'm a regular here... Not the best but a lot better than other bakeries. Services are great. Affordable. Cute place... I don't recommend the brownies. Just stick with the Pastries! Some are not very traditionally but different and GOOD. I think it deserves more stars/credits! You Must check it out though.
Ps. Why did you eliminate the Banana Cake & Pie, these were my favs. NEways just wondering will you have or make any YULE LOG cakes this X-Mas?

Poor quality pastries with especially bad service to go along with it. The location is great though.
From: quevin on Feb-03-2006
The last time (and I do mean the LAST time) I went into the Queen Street store to pick-up a special order the service was beyond bad.
Now, when I order pastries from other vendors I ask if Dufflet is their supplier. If the answer is yes, then my answer is 'no thanks.'
Personally, I prefer my cake without attitude.
From: JW on Mar-28-2006
It's ok, seems mass produced with lot's of adidtives in the desserts.
A place called waga something? on King street I think has much better stuff.
Dufflet staff seemed quite rude.
From: Jeremy on Nov-04-2006
The place on King Street is called Wagamama. Wagamama means selfish in Japanese. They have very nice cakes as well as coffee and sandwiches.
From: Sarah on Nov-15-2006
Actually wagamama means self-indulgent in Japanese.
Wagamama on King St offers a much better product.
Not as wide a selection but quality is way beyond this Dufflet place.
The LAST time I went to Dufflet's, I got nothing but atttitude from thier staff.

Their pastries are sicky sweet, not for my taste though. I have to say that their packaging are quite nice. But I can't eat the package, can I?

I am in love with Dufflet's pastries.
I pick up their frozen carrot cake at Loblaw's it tastes and even looks homemade and the cream cheese icing is lovely and buttery and soft and there is soo much of it. My ONLY request it that they improve the nutritonal profile of this cake, reduce the sugar a bit and plz reduce the fat if you can.
I visit their location on Queen St. to pick up a sampling of what they offer. The mini-cupcakes are so satisfying, the essence of cake, sweet and light with the creamy rich icing. The mini-chocolate pecan tarts are delicious as well.
I don't like all of their stuff, but then I don't like every pastry I am picky.
Be sure to try their homemade lemonade which comes in mango and raspberry flavours as well.
Oh and btw they use no preservatives in their baking. So for the above posters saying this you are clearly from the competition.
