Address: 631 Bloor St., Toronto, ON
Website: n/a
Style: Korean
Price: $-$$
[And with this, all Korean bakeries-proper in Koreatown have died. ;__; There is still the walnut cookie place (a future CT post; be sure of it... I'm here once a month and I still haven't reviewed it, which is shameful, but it's coming.), but the only place you can still get Korean bean or cream stuffed buns is inside the supermarket; sorry, guys, no more cakes, though]
This is the original/alternate location of BnC Bakery in Mississauga (the review I did of it can be found here), although I'm not at all sure why they don't list this address on the latter's website, nor do I understand what makes one a Bakery (though I'm sure they do actually have baking facilities in Mississauga) and the other a Cake House (which is then listed under BnC Patisserie); the most confusing of all is that both have exactly the same products. However, the experience was slightly different, so I thought I'd review both separately and well, I do need some more under the "Asian" category as well. :P The Korean bakery I once had a few years ago closed down, since I couldn't find anything else except another bakery which had nothing baked on Saturday morning. *pouts*
Just like
First off, because I really liked it the first time I bought it and didn't get a pic of it, I bought a slice of Opera cake (99 cents/piece), although was a bit disappointed, since in the Mississauga location, you could buy a coffee-cake slab of this strangely delicious cake for, I believe it was either $2- or $3.99. Seeing as the sliver of an individual piece is a dollar, I didn't find this great value, despite the fact that they were advertising this as a "special sale". The cake itself was pretty tasty, although pretty dry (maybe special sale referred to reduced before due date??) and didn't want to stick together. Still, I really like this taste with the alternating chocolate and vanilla cakes with a layer of crumble on top; I definitely don't need the extra calories, but it could have used a wee bit more cream between the layers. Good, but again, not really "bang for your buck" as my brother always says. ;P
