Millie Patisserie & Creamery

Very tasty Strawberry Cake: Not too sweet, fluffy and light. Well balanced flavors.
Thank you Millie…
Will be Back for more…

A cute little pastry shop with unique items. I felt like I was in France. The crêpe cake is decadent and rich. The green tea latte nicely accompanied it. I sat by the window and relished it all! Would definitely recommend it as something unusual. Worth a visit for sure.

Came here with my mom and aunt who seriously hate sweets. They were very pleased with the desserts here surprisingly! Nothing was too heavy, and everything was very delicious. The interior is very clean and small, so don’t come here if you intend on bringing a large group! I had the strawberry and champagne cake and it was very good. Definitely try some of their unique ice cream flavours as well if you have the time.

While a tad on the pricey side, this place has some seriously delicious desserts!
My wife and I shared some chocolate gelato and an almond crêpe cake.
The gelato was about as good as I’ve had and definitely hit my chocolate itch.
The crêpe cake was what made my day. While it was very expensive ($ 8.88 for one slice), it was probably one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. There has to be about 20 paper-​thin-​sliced crepes held together by a rich, sweet cream. It has the right balance of sweet without being too sweet. I can’t stress enough how good this was!
Only word of caution: the restaurant is quite small. I could see this place packed during busy times.
Overall, this place has quality desserts that are definitely worth the price (once in a while). They also offer matcha flavors, which aren’t my cup of tea (no pun intended) but are always popular. I’ll definitely be going back!

I tried their matcha crêpe cakes for the first time and it definitely exceeded expectations!
This location is closer to King and Spadina and may be a bit hard to find since it is on a small road. They only have about four tables, however, the location wasn’t too busy so I was able to secure a table no problem.
I order their matcha crêpe cake ($ 7.74) and it was so good! It is a bit pricey, however, it is a labour intensive process to make the cake. The cake had a thin layer of matcha on top so the bitterness of the matcha really help balance the sweetness.
They also offer tarts, gelatos and cream puffs so I’ll have to come back and give these a try!

I was aware of this pastry place (either the kensington location or this one). The area has some new condos and empty store fronts around, so it doesn’t look like there’s a shop there at all.
The place is pretty small, but all the pastry and cakes look great. Me and my partner order 3 items (black sesame tart, strawberry cheese cake, and a matcha crêpe cake). We both agree that the crêpe cake is the best and most unique one. The texture is not something I am familiar with in cakes, but for some reason I couldn’t stop taking another bite. The other two desserts were not that impressive though.
Definitely would like to try the other location. And for those who likes soft and light-​flavor desserts, but doesn’t want to feel guilty after, I definitely recommend.

Very unique patisserie I wouldn’t have stumbled upon if not for Unilocal.It’s tucked away on a side street and very small (like 3 – 4 small tables inside), but the stuff they have is quite unique. There is a good variety of gelato/​ice cream and cakes available. The stuff has Crêpe cake seems to be the specialty here — I tried the matcha crêpe cake while one of my friends had the tiramisu one, and they were both delicious. The texture is very interesting too. The matcha one had some actual matcha powder sprinkled on top so it had a bit of a matcha punch to its flavour. The girl at the counter was very friendly and helpful. The desserts are a touch on the pricier end (namely the slice of crêpe cake which is around $ 8), so this is slightly more of a splurge-​to-​treat-​yourself type of spot.

Today’s weather may not have been the most ideal kind to take a stroll to Millie’s Patisserie & Creamery, but it was so worth it.
Being a green tea/​matcha fanatic, I absolutely had to get the Matcha Crêpe Cake. Aesthetic wise, it looked pretty cute. The top of the piece of cake was covered in matcha powder, and the matcha cream was absolutely delicious. It didn’t have too heavy of a matcha taste, and wasn’t overly sweet. It was a perfect combination.
The only reason why my review lost one star was because of the price. The slice of cake I had was $ 8.75 ($ 7.74 before taxes). Just a tad bit expensive for just a slice of cake. Maybe they can do like a cup of tea/​coffee + a slice of cake for $ 8.75, or something like that.
Overall, it was a great experience and the food was delicious. :)

Somewhat smaller operation than original Kensington location. Literally 2 – 3 cramped tables and 1 patron even had to stand and enjoy her dessert at a counter.
During my visit, fellow Unilocaler, Anki and I had to ask a chick to remove her purse from a chair, so that we can use the remaining table. Pet peeve: Taking up space with a purse. Fine, if the place isn’t busy, but move your crap when paying patrons want to sit down!
Unless the Kensington location has changed its offerings, this relatively new Millie location had gelato, crêpe cakes, tarts, teas, & other stuff that the original didn’t have. No parfaits, sweet/​savoury crepes here… unless I was completely out-​to-​lunch.
This Entertainment District location was more like a tiny dessert place where you’ll get tea (in a teacup) and crumpets. There was 1 female server on a Sunday afternoon and she looked a bit overwhelmed. And I like the offerings at the original location more, so hence the rating!

This is the sister shop to Millie Creperie in Kensington. It’s located on a small side street off of Spadina and is a difficult find unless you’re using Google Maps on your phone OR have a Mapquest printout (anyone do that anymore?)
It is a small shop, almost dollhouse-​like with white interiors and pastel colored dessert displays. It seats about 6 – 9 people — I believe there were three little tables and a couple of chairs. And it is known for its French-​Asian fusion desserts. Now, I am a fan of French desserts and have a sheer dislike for Asian desserts — so I have always been in two minds about this place and I left the place with the same thought. The cake I ordered, although good, didn’t have flavours jump out at me.
My order — A matcha tea which tasted like the stuff I buy from T&T. And a Milk Chocolate and Caramel Soufflé Cheesecake — I didn’t taste the milk chocolate or caramel, sadly. It tasted more like a tiramisu and the flavours were very subtle.
What I did enjoy was a couple of bites from my friend’s matcha cheese tart.
Please note that my review is personal preference dependent. I just don’t have a liking for subtle desserts. I can see a lot of people enjoying Millie. I may return for the crêpe cake someday and end up ordering a cheese tart.

The matcha crêpe cake was a light, fluffy, and creamy delight. The matcha flavor wasn’t subtle at all and felt truly authentic. The café is tiny so it only seats roughly 12 at a time but service is friendly and accommodating.
Overall, it’s quite a good cake but a little pricey in my opinion. Also, perhaps because of too much cream between layers, it was difficult to cut through without having all the layers slide off of each other.

Having tried the crêpe cake at the other location this place was a disappointment. We tried the signature crêpe cake and the matcha flavored version. Both didn’t fare well as something was off with the matcha flavor for starters. Strangely the signature crêpe cake which I enjoyed at the other location was lacking on this trip. The place has its work cut out for it since the dessert scene nearby is competitive.
I will give it a skip as at this price point there are better options.

The people here are so nice so I hate that I can’t give them four stars!
I got the champagne and strawberry crêpe ($ 8.18). It didn’t look fresh. It looked like it’s been sitting there for a while. However, taste wise, it tasted great. Was it better than other crêpe cakes I had? Not really.
Next, I tried the matcha azuki cheesecake ($ 5.97). I was not a fan of this dessert at all. The red bean flavour really came through but not so much the matcha. It’s a very odd cake because it was very dense. I wouldn’t recommend getting this dessert.
Lastly, my mom got the hot matcha latte and I got an iced London fog. They were each $ 4.87. My mom didn’t like her drink because it was lukewarm. She said that if it was going to be a hot drink, it better be piping hot and I have to agree with her. I took a sip of her’s and my conclusion is that both drinks lack flavour. Unless if you’re just drinking the drink and nothing else, you will not taste the flavour at all.

I came across Millie Creperie when I was looking for a place to buy a birthday cake. I knew that their first location is on Baldwin. We also went there (after we visited this location). However, I am glad that they have a second location near my place. It’s more convenient for us to come here than the Baldwin location. I was excited to try a crêpe cake and it came out really good. I have to agree with all Unilocalers who claim how good it is.
We ordered take-​out because the store is quite small and has only 4 tables. There was one staff at that time and she was friendly. She asked us if we had been there before or not. Then, she started to explain all the cake they had that day.
There were only 4 kinds of crêpe cake. They were:
— Vanilla bean Crêpe cake
— Matcha crêpe cake
— Tiramisu crêpe cake
— Champagne strawberry crêpe cake
I’m not sure how many flavours they do have but we decided to try Matcha crêpe cake, Tiramisu crêpe cake and Vanilla bean rare cheese-​tart for today. We preferred Tiramisu flavour more than Matcha. Personally, I think Tiramisu is always good with sweet.
They use paper box and paper bag for take-​out. That’s good.
Definitely will come back again to try other flavours. Also want to order for a birthday cake next time. Who’s in?

This is a small dessert place that is hidden on Spadina. My friend had been telling me for weeks how amazing the cakes are, so I decided to give it a try. To be honest, I was a bit hesitant at first since they were quite expensive. The cakes are about $ 10 a slice and $ 80 if you decide to order a full cake.
I had gotten the Tiramisu mille-​feuille cake and she had gotten the Matcha mille-​feuille cake. The cake literally melts in your mouth and caresses your tongue. The flavors are quite pleasant as it is not overly sweet and strong. It was an enjoyable experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a place to satisfy with sweet tooth!

kawaiiii. Lives up to the great reputation that Millie’s Creperie set!
Vanilla bean crêpe cake (⁵⁄₅): FRIGGG I NEED MORE OF THIS IN MY LIFE. It’s hint of creamy vanilla sweetness between a million layers of soft crepes. I can eat myself sick with this cakehank goodness we only got a slice. Although sad that again, it was only one slice. This place will definitely see the return of Monika to try their other flavours!
Black Sesame Gelato (³⁄₅): Black Sesame is my favourite flavour of ice cream next to vanilla so I’ve had alot of black sesame in my life. The black sesame they serve at Millie’s is meh. It does taste like black sesame, but it tasted very aerated (?). Like it was full of air, and not pure gelato imo. I know, it’s a weird description. Altogether, would not recommend =/​
Green tea gelato (2.5÷5): This green tea ice cream is STRONG. It tastes like green tea that’s been steeped for a really long time, but in gelato form. I’m not one for strong tea or really strong green tea flavour. Safe to say this green tea gelato is not for me.
Cost (³⁄₅): I’m not familiar with how difficult it is to make crêpe cake but I wish it was alittle cheaper. It’s a slice for ~$ 8, so it’s alittle on the high end for a slice of ‘cake,’ BUT ITS SO GOOD. Thank goodness I’m working haha. Gelato is gelato, It’s price fairly imo haha.
Ambiance (4.5÷5): Clean, simple, and modern. This place was designed with all that in mind (that’s also as far as my designer speak goes haha). I enjoyed the cute little dried flower set on each table and the attractive layout of their pastries + cakes! The only point I’d dock off is that like Millie’s Creperie, this place is TINYYY. Enough room for 8 max (7 chairs + a stool). It’s tough to come here, enjoy their cakes and chat without having to worry if my friend and I will get a seat :(That’s the only drawback I can think of.
Will I come back? Hell ya!

Location was hard to find. Extremely friendly service.
Not a big fan of crêpes so I had the matcha azuki (green tea soufflé cheesecake with red bean cream)
Doesn’t really taste like soufflé cheesecake I guess the matcha was so strong that it offsets the taste of cream cheese.
$ 6+for a piece of this. Millie crêpe cake was more expansive.

A second addition to the original Kensington Market location, this Millie is considerably more difficult to find: it’s basically on Spadina and King, on King, on a little side street next to a café.
Minimal-​chic on the inside, the bare white walls draw your eyes towards the glass case by the checkout displaying multicoloured small tartless, sponge/​cheesecake hybrids, and mille-​feuille cakes, flanked by another glass case of gelato.
On my visit today, I sampled the Khao San Road collaborative flavours of pandan (a leaf often used in the Thai cooking) and Thai Tea (which tastes exactly like the stuff you’d get in the restaurant). Though the little cream puff (gelato puff?) sample display was tempting, at almost $ 4 a pop I was more inclined towards the pastries.
I eyeballed the rare cheesecake tarts before opting for a couple slices of mille-​feuille, which rang in at a rather pricey $ 18.
There were four mille-​feuille cakes available: strawberry & champagne, vanilla bean, matcha, and tiramisu. Opting for the strawberry & champagne and the matcha, I pretty much ate the strawberry & champagne one immediately.
Light and fluffy Japanese crepes housed champagne-​mixed whipped cream and little smudges of strawberry jam here and there. The ingredients seem to have been used sparingly, so there’s not much strawberry jam or champagne flavour. Each bite is consistent in filling to crêpe ratios though, so I’m pretty sure it done in thoughtful consideration to enjoy the crepes themselves too.
I have yet to steal bites from my partner’s matcha slice, but if he refuses to share… well, that just gives me an excuse and try that cheesecake tart!

I’ve always been a fan of Millie Creperie at Kensington Market in Toronto. It was one of my go to places after class during my undergrad years, and its creative creations were so delicious! I had recently heard that they opened up a new location near my old condo so I made sure I visited it when I was in Toronto for some errands this last weekend!
When I got to the patisserie, I was quite surprised because it was very small. It only had 3 – 4 tables, so if I came at the wrong time, I knew I’d have to eat it elsewhere. There were already many customers at the patisserie when I arrived (~12pm) to my surprise. While patiently waiting in line, I tried to narrow down my choices to just one.
Their creamery was to the left of the desserts. I didn’t try them on my first visit but I am aiming to try them the next time I’m in town. I’d love to try their Lucky charms (on the very left), Thai tea, and coconut flavours.
My initial choice was their crêpe cake. I love crepes and cake… what an amazing combination! I decided in the end to try something else because I had tried crêpe cakes before at Lady M Café in NYC (I should write about it soon… so behind) and I thought the cake here probably tastes similar to it. Since there were many other unique desserts I had never seen before, I passed on the crêpe cake. I recommend you to try their green tea crêpe cake though!
In the end, I opted for their rare black sesame tart because I heard that they were very good and popular. They don’t seem to have many in stock, so if you come too late, they might be all gone! The tarts are decorated with some edible gold on top and they were actually cheesetarts. I didn’t actually notice it until I sat down and had my first bite. More on this in a second.
Overall, there are only 4 types of desserts you can choose from, with different flavours of course. I love that Millie Patisserie decided to stick to their best 4 desserts instead of having a huge variety because they truly seemed to believe in quality over quantity. The flavours were all very similar — green tea, black sesame, red bean, coffee/​vanilla… all somewhat general flavours but all the ones that the majority of people like.
The prices of their desserts are on the wall mounted TV in the front. I found their drinks menu somewhat disappointing because they didn’t have very many to choose from. They only had iced lattes and hot tea (no iced available).
My black sesame tart was so rich in flavour… it was as if I was having raw black sesame! Then again, there are black sesame seeds on the tart aren’t there… haha. But really, with the soft cheese, the black sesame flavour was very delicious and I could see why it was so popular on social media! I ordered peppermint tea along with my dessert and I found the two went well together in terms of flavour. I had some difficulty finishing the very last bites of the tart but nonetheless I ended up finishing it proudly. The rich flavours of the tart can be a little overwhelming towards the end.
If you’re near the Entertainment /​Fashion districts of Downtown Toronto, I highly recommend that you try Millie Patisserie & Creamery! It’s very high quality and its deliciousness will get you hooked for sure! I know I will be going back there once I’m in Toronto again. The patisserie can be a little difficult to find; it’s in between King & Adelaide streets on Charlotte St.

Cute spin-​off of the original Millie Creperie in Kensington right in the King West area. I’ve been here twice since it opened and had great experiences both times. I’ve tried the matcha crêpe cake, the tiramisu crêpe cake and the black sesame pudding. By far, my favourite is the matcha crêpe cake for its the strong matcha flavours — highly recommended to all matcha lovers.
Pros:
— The décor is unbeatable. Millie is decked out in all white, with white tables and white cutlery. Super cute for an afternoon tea.
— Compared to Millie Creperie in Kensington, this spot has a lot more comfortable seating.
Cons:
— For some reason, the AC was not on both times. This made it really hot especially when we had a sit down meal.
— Personally I think the crêpe cakes have a little too much cream for my liking. I would prefer a little more crêpe and a little less cream.
