A little introduction for those who may not know us yet. 🤎

One year ago, we took a leap of faith and began this beautiful journey, one filled with creativity, hard work, countless late nights, and so many special moments along the way.

Today, we’re celebrating one year of doing what we love, and we couldn’t be more grateful for everyone who has been a part of it. Every visit, every kind word, every shared moment has meant more to us than you know.

A very special thank you to 🎬 @its_gabe for taking the time to create this beautiful video and for capturing our story so thoughtfully.

When art meets art. ✨

Here’s to the first year, to the memories we’ve made, and to all that’s still ahead. Thank you for being part of our story. 🤎

I have always noticed Chef struggle to make desserts on cooking shows and even in real life because it's a different discipline. I think about this more now that I no longer work in restaurants or have to share a kitchen with other Chefs.

Not having to fight for space, or containers that smell like onions.

Just a clean station, proper systems, and the ability to execute the way I was taught.

I was lucky to learn from chefs who took pastry seriously and taught me to take pride in what I do.

That stays with you.

What an amazing two weeks of celebrations! 🥹✨

From our 1 year anniversary and Polish Festival to Mid-Autumn Festival this week, we’ve had so much to celebrate, and even more to be grateful for. ❤️ Thank you to everyone who has supported us, celebrated with us, and helped make this dream possible! 🙏🏼

We’ve loved being part of your celebrations and especially loved making our signature Mooncake Sets this year! 🥮🌕

We also got to bring a little taste of Roncesvalles to Markham for @fetechinoise’s A Mid-Autumn Night’s Dream: In the Mood for Mahjong, and you guys completely SOLD OUT our Mooncake Sets! 🀄🥮

It was so special seeing them become part of everyone’s celebrations, and we’ll definitely be bringing them back next year! 👀✨

What a way to kick off the festive season. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤️

I’ve given up on catching up on my summer backlog, so I’m just skipping straight to this past week in Toronto, where somehow I ate out every day. Here’s part 1 of 3.

Dinner @bar.eugenie. What a gem of a restaurant. We ordered most of the menu and I can confidently say that every dish was a hit for us. Highlights for me were the green peppercorn squid, the tomato leaf cavatelli, the iberico pluma, the trout amandine and the zucchini with red shrimp. How wonderful to have a woman chef and owner paying homage to a pioneer woman chef. This is going into the AFM rotation.
.
Couldn’t resist getting some of @steventranchocolates ridiculously perfect doughnuts at his Roncy Polish Festival table. The plum jam-filled ones made for the best paczki I’ve ever had. And his longanisa sausage roll was so satisfying. @chefsteventran really needs to make doughnuts and savoury pastries a regular thing at the shop.
.
@holmpeicafe is an unassuming cafe/bistro at Bay and Dundas. They are known for their brunch, but I had both brunch and dinner there last week and both were fun and tasty. Really enjoyed the croque madame and the curry steak udon. For a brunch café, I was pleasantly surprised by my ragu Bolognese tagliatelle. Weekend brunch is super busy and the service was friendly but scattered. For brunch, I would go right at open.
.
Dinner @qingbistro under the expert guidance of @ridetowander. My first foray into the regional cooking of Yunnan province. What a joyous discovery to explore a Chinese cuisine that shares so many flavours and ingredients with SE Asian cuisine—hello, lemongrass, lime, tamarind, passionfruit, mint, dill…and so much more. A fascinating, delicious experience. That passionfruit and tomato sour soup hot pot alone was enough to make me a convert. I need to go back for MORE.
.
Grabbed an ebi sando @imanishisandobar on my walk to pick up some goods at the Soma factory. Ate it in the park in the perfect Fall weather. Always a favourite.

As we reach our one year mark, I reflect on the last year we had and how grateful I am to each and every one of you who show up and support our business and what we do here. We would not be here without your support!

It has definitely not been easy with many ups and downs for sure and I empathize now more than ever with other small business owners but as much as it is hard it has been very rewarding also!

Looking forward to another year of growth and serving you delicious pastries and chocolates!
