Reviews for Goûter in North York, ON
We got some treats for Valentine's Day, including donuts, chocolate, butter tarts, and ice cream. The donut flavours were really... interesting and yummy, and we liked the butter tarts too! Looking forward to trying the croissants and other pastries at futurevisits! Read more
I feel like I'm kind of rounding up here, I would've given this spot a 3.5. The cruffin and kouign-amann were absolutely... amazing, but I was so let down by the almond croissant and danish. I pre-ordered ahead of time, but had I seen them beforehand,I likely wouldn't have spent the money. The danish had a hole in the pastry, as if it had stuck to the pan while baking and thebottom had just ripped off (I shared it with my family and everyone was disappointed) - I think grocery store ones are betterthan this for a fraction of the price! And the croissant was pretty lacklustre, not flaky and full of filling like othercroissants. That being said, I think this is a good spot to check out for their famous kouign-amann, which was super tasty andthe cruffin was perfectly flaky and loaded with a delicious cream filling! Read more
Decided to go try this place for the sole purpose that they said that they make the best Nutella croissant in the city. Overall... it was good could have put more Nutella in the croissant. Clean service was good service Read more

You walk into Goûter and you simply do not know where to look first! Then again, the smells of fresh bread, butter, chocolate... pure bliss. I love all the selections of great food. Everything from take out meals and soups to filled croissants, stunningbaking and chocolates. I bought a little of everything but always my go to?s are perfect baguettes, a proper croissant filledwith ham and bechamel, a fruit danish and of course a tiny cake.

In French, "goûter" is the verb for "to taste", and everything I've had so far at Goûter was definitely tasty. The interior... smells of the fresh butter they use in their boulangerie, so entrancing! My significant other and I shared their Piña Coladagelato (especially amazing), Banana Chocolate Caramel gelato, Pain au chocolate (très bon!!), Almond croissant (though I thinkI prefer the filling at Amadeus and Nadege), Kouign-amann (MUST-HAVE, buttery sugary crispy fluffy goodness originating inBrittany, France), Tarte au chocolat (not as rich as I'd hoped), and a super crunchy French baguette (too crunchy for my tastesbut I would still repurchase) that we used to make a couple sandwiches at home. There's a market across the road and a No Frillsjust North at Wilson where you can pick up toppings to make your own delights. The shopkeeper was very polite and definitelyhas a strong knowledge of French patisserie. She let us sample their new scones - buttery, a bit cheesy, and fluffy, yet with afirm crust, we'll have to get some next time! From what I've seen, they also allow you to pick up frozen Pain au chocolat (andperhaps other items) that you can proof and bake in your own kitchen! I asked about when they usually sell out of their bakedgoods, and apparently every day is different. If you are worried, you can order in the morning and then pick up your items bythe end of the day. They really care not to over-produce so that they don't waste food, and so that their products are alwaysfresh out of the oven. I was really impressed when the shopkeeper said that they make everything themselves, nothing from otherstores. Verdict: Definitely one of the best patisseries in the city. We'll definitely be back to try their other products andrepurchase our favourites! Looking forward to trying some chocolates, eclairs, and more pastries! Read more
What a joy to discover this traditional French pâtisserie and bakery right down the street from where I live. After living in... Paris for a couple of years and getting used to walking to my local boulangerie, I didn't think that I would ever find this inToronto. But find it I did, at Goûter that opened up on Bathurst a few months ago. The croissants, pain au chocolat and painau raisin were perfectly flaky and fresh. By far the "most authentic" that I have found in Toronto (and I have tried a number ofFrench bakeries on Avenue, Yonge, Bayview and Mt. Pleasant in North York). I didn't get a chance to try the baguettes yet (thereal litmus test), but I will certainly go back. The confectionery and home-made icecream look delicious, and they have anamazing looking espresso machine that I definitely want to try. All-in-all, a great experience for a newly opened store onBathurst. I will do my best to help it stay around. -------- OK, I just went back to try the fresh baguette (actually morelike a French "tradition" with a harder crunchy crust and a chewy, rather than the soft fluffy inside of a baguette), and it wasfantastic. Seriously. I am upping my review to 5 stars. Oh happy day! Read more
Authentic French pastry; flaky, buttery, not too sweet- I brought one for my hubby- he said it was the best thing he ever ate!!
