Duo Patisserie & Cafe

We got the Pistachio Brioche, Smoked Gouda and Cheddar Brioche and Gâteau basque (Matcha cream with Raspberry). The brioche were all so good and wonderfully flaky. The flavours were not overpowering. The Pistachio Brioche was on the sweet side but great to see actual, and a decent amount of, pistachios in the buttery brioche. I especially liked the Smoked Gouda and Cheddar Brioche. It had the right amount of saltiness and good amount of cheese. I wasn’t much of a fan of the Gâteau basque, but then again, am not too much of a fan of Matcha. I wished I got some Citrus brioche instead. I smell a next time coming :)

Came here at the recommendation of a friend. Had a coffee and some pastries to take home. Coffee was standard but the pastries were delicious; bit on the pricier end but well worth it, in my opinion. The cafe itself is quite small in size, not much seating, may want to consider just buying your baked goodies and then devouring it at home! Staff are super friendly; would recommend and will return in the near future! :)

I had wanted to try Duo for a long time now and very excited that I finally had the chance to! I've heard so many good things about this little bakery and let me tell you, I was not disappointed 🤗!

Located in a busy strip mall, this bakery houses the most delectable pastries and cakes! On my visit I tried the Mont Blanc. The cake was soft, smooth and very delicious. There were bits of chestnuts found in the cake, that I personally adore! The bottom of the cake was made of wholesome shortbread, which is one of my all time favorite cookies in this world. So, the Mont Blanc was absolutely perfect for me!😄

I also ordered a cup of matcha green tea latte (cold) because it was a hot summer day. My friend also opted for the Mont Blanc that day because it was simply very appealing to the both of us!🤔 However, for her drink she landed on the hot chocolate. I noticed how rich the color of the hot chocolate was and asked one of the store front staff about it. She advised me that it was because it was made of 60% cocoa. I told her I can tell because I remember ordering a sipping chocolate at another cafe and the color was equally as rich. Duo uses very high quality ingredients and it was evident that they do. This was found in the cakes and drinks they served. My matcha green tea latte similar to the hot chocolate was enriched with green tea flavor. After sipping it, you would notice a tinge of bitterness on your palate. All in a good way however, a very unique and refreshing taste all in all.😇

Our stay there was quite enjoyable! The staff took the time to answer all our questions and made our stay warm and relaxing. We also saw how the cafe sold out of all their cakes and pastries, 2 hours before the store actually closed! The staff explained because they use quality ingredients they only make a set amount of cakes and parties per day and it's very difficult for them to watch dissapointed customers come in and their favorite delights are sold out.😯 Yes! Duo is really that good!😃

I'm very eager to return back to Duo to try other scrumptious baked goods there! The roast beef mushroom crossiant, the salami n cheese croissant, the freshly baked danishes and canele, just to name a few!😶 I can't wait to return to Duo to feast on more yummy baked delights! I seriously cannot wait to return!😋❤🍴🍰

This is one of my favourite places to go to for patisserie in the Markham/Richmond Hill area. They don't have a very large selection of cakes, but they update their menu with new creations often. Their bakery items are really yummy too, especially the ultra flakey Pain Au Chocolate. Two of my favourite cakes of theirs are the Lemon Tart and the Hazel. The cakes are great to treat yourself with once in a while ;3

Love the coffee and food! I love huzalnut. Their huzalnut dessert is amazing. It was soft and melted in my mouth. If you love dessert. Great place to try!
