Pâtisserie Du Soleil

I love this place! I got a roast beef sandwich on sourdough bread and it was fantastic! It was such a huge sandwich. It also came with a good sized bowl of french onion soup, which was also very good.
All for about 13 $ I believe. Such a good deal! The food came very quick and the waitress was nice and had good recommendations.

First time having lunch at the location in Woodbine and overall quite pleased with the food and service. The fries were a little cold but other than that I loved it! I ordered the BLT on an éclair bun and it was delicious and an adequate portion. Will be returning.

This restaurant used to be a good place for breakfast but our latest visit was a disappointment. Small, tasteless eggs with slim slices of packaged ham means they have lost us as customers.

The food and pastries look great. They really do. And I really want to support these guys as a local business. I am that kinda lady. I hate to write this review but after three times of the same experience and no interest by staff in customer service.
You gotta train your baristas if you have an espresso machine. I’ve come three times now and the speed of service nearly made me lose my mind in line. My coffee has been horrible every time, which is why I haven’t bothered to get food. Even now that they have Phil and Sebastien’s you would think it would be awesome, but no. My kid and I came in for drinks. I asked the cashier to make both drinks just warm for a child and she told me the machine couldn’t do that. Lols. What?! Oh ok. She didn’t know that sometimes with an espresso machine they come with a thermometer. Not this one! The supervisor told her to estimate it by touching the container. My child’s drink burned his throat even though I checked it and mine was molten. Now we have been waiting for 30 mins for it to cool like a couple of loiterers. I asked for almond milk to cool it down and the woman without saying a word to me gave me 1oz in a to go cup like I was ruining their business. I took my drink back shortly after when I realized it was not only tasteless but also completely curdled from being too hot (remember when I asked for them to be just warm?). No apology. No ask if I wanted my money back or to remake the same drink. Ugh. Sorry guys but if there was any chance to have this conversation with you in your restaurant (i.e. Have one of your staff say one word to me when I had come up to fix both my drinks) I would have.

We used their catering service for our son’s wedding party and the meal was exceptional! The vegetarian lasagna was the best any of us had ever had and the samosas were divine, perfectly spiced. Everyone at the party raved about the food which showed up on time and was very hot and fresh. We ordered the mini pastries for dessert and they are nothing short of perfection. The staff is very friendly and the owners clearly love what they do and value their customers. We highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who loves great food!

Great brunch, we had the eggs Benni, cooked exactly to order and the 2+2+2, 2 eggs again done just right, 2 slices of whole grain seedy toast and 2 slices of ham with hash browns and compote
a coffee and a smoothy for $ 20

Team Fam came here and I ordered a Two of Everything ($ 12) with the sausage option. Even though the word everything is in the name, you’ll choose between bacon and sausage. The eggs come the way you like it and with my plate came 4 halves of buttered toast, potatoes, and some sliced fruit. I found my sausages to be quite juicy and the potatoes to be well seasoned. Ketchup didn’t hurt any cause and it went great with the potatoes. I asked for over-​easy eggs and got over-​easy eggs. The fruit was pretty sparse but better than nothing and the jam tasted fresh and I poured it all over my toast. All-​in-​all this was a pretty hearty meal if a bit on the more expensive side but everything was quite delicious.

Banana bread is amazing. I love whipping over and grabbing a loaf on early mornings on the weekend.

Went here for lunch with some work colleagues. It is a cute little French bistro near Fish Creek Park. The service was polite and prompt, and they had some delicious open-​faced sandwiches for lunch. I liked that they had an all-​day breakfast option with some breakfast poutine, and french toast on the menu. I had a roast beef sandwich, it was very tasty. Overall, the experience was a pleasant one.

Meh. Not great. Not awful. Had the beef sandwich which was described on the menu as having caramelized shallots and aioli. What arrived on my table was dry beef on a single, thin slice of bread with fried shallots and a hint of aioli. Tasted good but could be improved.
Service was prompt but disorganized. One server took our order then 2 minutes later someone else asked for our order.
Food came out quickly.
Took home some cream puffs. They were ok.
I think my issue was nothing screamed fresh or amazing. Just ok. If I’m going to spend money and eat the calories I want amazing.

Stopped by your location in The Bow today in search of a chai latte — what I got was a tea latte that was better than any chai I’ve gotten elsewhere downtown. Thanks to Chris the barista (who’s hair is not nearly as bad as he thinks today) for the suggestion. I’ll be back for another soon, with a side of that very tasty cannoli!

Ive been coming here for a couple months now. Im pleased. No cell phones going off. Good food. No the food is great lol. Just remember to leave a table for me. Have you seen the strawberry rhubarb pie

It is supposed be a bakery, but all the croissants we bought where frozen. So they bake them, then freeze them, not exactly fresh (pretty sure they just get everything frozen then just warm it up). Beside that they where bland tasteless.
The service is incredibly slow.
Omelette was no better than any greasy spoon.

Every time I come here I feel like I am hitting my head on a brick wall.
I absolutely love the food and the atmosphere… I really feel like I am in Paris again!
But then there is the horrible service if you order anything more than a latte.
Still, it doesn’t keep me from visiting.
If you want to try true beignets this is the place to go.

Went there for breakfast recently. The wait staff is nice albeit a bit harsh but that comes with the charm of the place.
Décor is nice, tries to look like a french patisserie but could use some minor changes like cleaning up the look of the kitchen as things look VERY cluttered. They had a view of many desserts, pies, pastries etc. that all looked good. I didn’t try any but i imagine they are good.
The food was Meh, i had Eggs benedict that came with a bland hollandaise that was poured too heavily on my overcooked (poached too long) eggs and soft brioche bun (that should have been toasted but was not).
The house made ham was very good but honestly it was masked by the sauce and the bland taste of the rest of the food.
My friend had waffles that came out cold and were meh at best, nothing to complain about but nothing to write home about either.
Overall a meh experience and we will not be returning.

This is great little place to go to for local french cuisine that wont’ force you into downtown. Located in the heart of Woodbine, you’ll find everything here from pastries to go to sit down food.
They have amazing food! My husband and I both love going for their Mushroom and Saffron Risotto. I’ll even add in a Strawberry Lemonade or Fruit Smooth that they make fresh on the spot.
The service is pretty decent. The only downside is that you don’t get a dedicated server. They sort play it out between two or three servers so the service can get a little disorganized and occasionally it takes longer for us to get our food. Other than that, I highly recommend this place!

Good pastries and a great mushroom risotto! The prices are decent and its a great place for brunch. The only disappointing thing is the service. If you stay in the café prepare to wait forever for a server, and have different people wait on you. The owner insists that all the servers share tables, so there is always confusion as who has been helped and who has not. It took 15 minutes to get our order placed, then 5 min later we had two servers attempt to take our order. It was really annoying. Been here twice and same experience both times. Good food, but really bad service.
So I would suggest getting some pastries to go, the croissants are made fresh and some of the best in the city. I especially like the spinach and feta ones. They also have great macaroons and apple struddle.

If you’re a mocha lover like myself, Patisserie du Soleil is worth the visit just for the $ 4.00 Chocolate Truffle Mochaccino. The mug is huge and it’s served very hot, which is a rare treat. I also appreciate that they don’t load it with whipped cream and other toppings. It’s just a straight up mocha, no dressing required. You can tell it’s decadent and yet I don’t think it would be too sweet for most people.
I was impressed with the menu items and even though I’d consider most of them to be a bit expensive, they appear enticing enough to make the prices seem worth it. I didn’t have enough of an appetite to test this theory, so I just tried a Turkey Sausage Roll. It was sizable and surprisingly flavorful.
It was very busy during the lunch hour. I wasn’t a fan of the extreme noise level (the acoustics are terrible) and the large tables. These two factors combined made visiting a little strenuous. I do love the large windows and natural light, though.
I checked out the website after I left and realized it doesn’t properly reflect all that this place has to offer. You really must stop in. And they have a school lunch program. Interesting.
I’d have no problem returning but would likely try to avoid peak hours.

I had a work/​group meeting at this location I had never been to before. I guess the place can be rented out after hours and the one staff member stayed late and catered to us. The coffee was quite good and service with a smile was fantastic. The fellow behind the counter was polite and very engaged with our group and anything we needed. I found the pastry prices to be quite fair and everything behind the glass looked delicious. Great location at the end of a strip plaza with plenty of parking in the lot. Looks like our meeting will be held here once every month and I am quite happy about this! The bakery is tidy and well laid out — I do not think there is anything about bakeries I do not like. I always come out with little, beautiful works of art that I share/​gift to others. My favourite way to pay it forward. Don’t you want to be my friend? :)
TIP — this place even serves delicous looking ice cream for those warm days!

In 1985, Mike & the Mechanics sang «All I need is a miracle, all I need is you.» In 2011, I sing «All I need is a miracle, all I need is this pie.»
This strawberry rhubarb pie to be exact. When I first walked through the doors of Patisserie Du Soleil, I was hit with the smell of some mouth wateringly sweet baked goods. As I scanned the room, my eyes fell on the lower shelf to my left. I thought I spied a cake. I do love my cake. But as I drew closer, I read the tag underneath my wonder cake that said «Strawberry/​Rhubarb Pie — $ 8.» Strawberry-​rhubarb? How did they know that strawberry-​rhubarb anything is one of my favourites! Covered in almonds and extra crumbles from the crust, this pie was coming home with me.
While I waited in line at the register to pay for my new friend (who wasn’t going to last long once I got home… some friend, hey?), I eyed up the rest of the menu. A full menu of breakfast and lunch items, sandwiches, soups, eggs and the likes was laid out in large print behind the counter. That’s it, I’m coming back soon for breakfast… finally, a place I’d drive across the city to visit :).
