Joining everyone else who raves about this spot to give my 5 stars. Absolutely terrific cake, and I say this as someone who usually doesn’t like the stuff. Perfect size, reasonably priced, and friendly service. Highly recommend.

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

We dropped in yesterday and she had already sold out most of the cakes, we tried molasses cake and it was incredible, we definitely will buy again!

Charming little place, owner is very welcoming and kind. Shop opens at 12 so make sure to get there early, as she tends to sell out fairly quickly. I went once at 1pm and everything was sold out. Tried out the small chocolate cake and it was rich and delicious! Definitely a place worth checking out that offers various cakes, cupcakes & brownies.

This bakery is a true hidden gem! It’s been in business since 2005 and I’d been wanting to try it for ages, and now it’s my go-to for cakes. The portions are perfect either for 4–6 people or 10 which makes it so convenient when you don’t need a huge cake. The owner is incredibly sweet (she even offers a candle!), and the prices are extremely fair. Everything tastes homemade in the best possible way. Highly recommend!

We bought a lemon and coconut white cake for my friends birthday and it was so amazing! You can really taste the quality.

When we moved to Montreal, one of our local friend introduced this cute and 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 and the baker is really kind and friendly woman with big smile and ready to explain and 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 and icing is amazing, their look is cute and dreamy and simple with reach flavors and combination of flavors will be different every time you go there. I personally love other flavors than chocolate cake here. Doesn't have reservation and it's first come first serve and 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 and other one is a bit bigger. It's cash only. My friends always love the cakes I bought for their birthdays from here and they always ask for the address😍. Love this shop with all cakes/cupcakes and cute decoration🥹🥰🩷

I discovered this little gem over 20 years ago... After moving across the city, I found myself back in the neighborhood a few months ago—and suddenly, I remembered the unforgettable chocolate chai cake! SIMPLY THE BEST. The texture, the flavors—absolutely perfect. Today was my son’s 17th birthday, and that memory came rushing back… so across town I went, hoping for a slice of nostalgia. And there it was—serendipity! The last two traditional chocolate cakes (not chai, but still divine). THANK YOU, BEAUTIFUL SOUL, for continuing to make magic. ♥️

Oh my god. This is hands down the best thing I ate in Montreal! Chocolate cake? Delicious? Coconut lemon? Sublime. I wish we would have stayed longer to eat more of these treats! Run and grab those cakes. You will not be disappointed! So light not overly sweet!! The shop owner and the shop feels like something out of a lifetime movie. So so so cute and so nice!

It’s been months and I still think about this cake. Seriously. It was absolutely delicious, beautiful, and tasted like something made with love. Clearly she uses high quality ingredients!!! I got vanilla rose 🌹🍰✨
