Friendly staff, good clean and stylish service, more importantly high-quality pastry makes PAPA one of the best in GTA. I highly recommend.

The bakery has a large selection. Their pastries have consistently been fresh however their walnut cooks have become thicker.

This location is near where I live and I always pass by it but never had the one to go just until recently and they have a wide variety of Persian desserts. The workers are very friendly patient and helpful when I asked about their best sellers and flavours of a variety of pastries. my favorite would probably be the baclava but the others didn’t really fit to my taste. There is also a small section where you can sit and converse while having tea and desserts.

Over priced and could get the same quality from the other stores nearby.

We drove by the plaza and were instantly drawn by the amount of people in Papa Pastry & Café at 9:00PM at night. Many of the patrons were having tea with trays and trays of pastries in this enchanting café! Amir, the owner makes you feel at home. This is one of the most generous café, I have ever had the pleasure of being in. The pastries on the tables are complimentary for customers. You can enjoy a cup of tea in a pink tea set with traditional Persian baked goods. As someone who is inexperienced with Persian cuisine, I have no idea as to what any pastries in the store were. Amir’s response to all my inquires was, «just try it». In additional to the selection baked goods and pastries available for sampling by the cashier, the staff was kind and offered us samples of the items we wanted to try from the display. This is a wonderful environment to enjoy a relaxing evening with loved ones. It is no wonder that Papa was busy late in the evening! Can’t wait to try the cakes at Papa’s in our next visit! Note: If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, this is the place to be! There is a surprisingly large number of gluten free options including Naan e Berenji(Rice flour with rose water cookie), Nan-e Nokhodchi(chickpea flour cookie, with similar texture to shortbread cookies), and Nan Gerrdoie(egg white with ground walnut flour cookies) to name a few.

Came here while I waiting for my car at the Mazda dealership next door. Just wanted a place to kill time and have a coffee. The place is very pink! Threw me off. The staff was super friendly and made me feel warm right away though. I can see a lot of sweets on display here but I’m not a sweet tooth, so I just got myself a coffee. Enjoyed the coffee(americano to be precise) and the it came in a very stylish cup. Very strong flavour. Once again customee service was great.

I dont think this business ever been in serious retail and just they have to money to open places and over charging people, one Persian Low quality ice cream sandwich for $ 7 … you get the idea. well just eat the free sample and find a better place.

That place is a bit weird. I’m not talking about food. Staff is really friendly, they gave us to try a lot of stuff and all was good. I’d say sweets are a bit too sweet, but that didn’t bother me. They make pretty good latte in really nice cups. I mean GOOD latte since they don’t drown it in sugar like starbucks. The weir part was the interior. It’s just too pink. I don’t know who came up with that idea when they were decorating the place. I’d go again if I’m in the area.

This place is all about amazing Persian sweets. I fell in love with the variety and fresh smell of pastries as I walked in. The only downside was that they were a bit too sweet, not the same as French pastry.
