Matcha Cake Rolls at Petit Nuage: Though this cute and chic bakery is small, the treats here are a big deal. The matcha cake roll, which can be enjoyed either by the slice or the entire roll, is a thick matcha sponge cake rolled with even thicker cream inside. Depending on what inspires Stephanie (owner and head baker) that day, the additions in the cream can vary from any combination of red bean, Ontario peaches, cornflake bits, and black sesame.
Amid the hustle and bustle of Chinatown lies the dainty and delicate maracon specialty shop that is Petit Nuage. Fan favourites include the vanilla rose flavour (a petal-pink macaron speckled with rose-coloured sugar crystals), the jasmine-apricot and ginger-orange. And, as if the macarons weren’t enough, they’re also known for their cream puffs and smores.
