I feel like I'm kind of rounding up here, I would've given this spot a 3.5. The cruffin and kouign-amann were absolutely amazing, but I was so let down by the almond croissant and danish. I pre-ordered ahead of time, but had I seen them beforehand, I likely wouldn't have spent the money. The danish had a hole in the pastry, as if it had stuck to the pan while baking and the bottom had just ripped off (I shared it with my family and everyone was disappointed) - I think grocery store ones are better than this for a fraction of the price! And the croissant was pretty lacklustre, not flaky and full of filling like other croissants. That being said, I think this is a good spot to check out for their famous kouign-amann, which was super tasty and the cruffin was perfectly flaky and loaded with a delicious cream filling!

Decided to go try this place for the sole purpose that they said that they make the best Nutella croissant in the city. Overall it was good could have put more Nutella in the croissant. Clean service was good service

I wish i had something better to say about this authentically French bakery I was dying to try as a treat to my daughter, but my experience today was just plain awful. I am having a French-themed valentine's breakfast for my daughter. I ordered via DoorDash the 6-pack of macarons which, as you can see from the photo, should have been a fruity and colourful variety pack. Sounds perfect! Well I received 2 macarons with red tops and green bottoms, and the other 4 are all the same colour brown which means same flavour. I bit one and it had a strong gingerbread flavour. So green -and-red minty macarons and 4 gingerbread....ummmm hello, is anyone else thinking xmas leftovers being sold off in Feb?! So I contacted DoorDash and they took about 20 minutes to resolve this issue "with the restaurant", who agreed to do a redelivery of WHAT I PURCHASED, AS DESCRIBED. a 6-pack variety of sweet/fruity flavours, as listed (strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, hibiscus, lemon, pistachio). I received the EXACT. SAME. BOX of CHRISTMAS macarons that was sent the first time. For Valentine's Day. But also - if that's all you can offer because you overstocked on xmassy fillings in November and never sold them so possibly froze them and are reusing (my guess at what's happening here) - then update the DoorDash description - PLEASE!!!! It should have said "Box of 6 spiced and seasonal flavours". Then I could have made an informed decision NOT TO BUY. instead I was tricked - I asked for it to be made right - and I am left with this joke of a platter of 8 brown gingerbread macarons and 4 super ugly half-red and half-green macarons.

You walk into Goûter and you simply do not know where to look first! Then again, the smells of fresh bread, butter, chocolate pure bliss. I love all the selections of great food. Everything from take out meals and soups to filled croissants, stunning baking and chocolates. I bought a little of everything but always my go to’s are perfect baguettes, a proper croissant filled with ham and bechamel, a fruit danish and of course a tiny cake.

What a joy to discover this traditional French pâtisserie and bakery right down the street from where I live. After living in Paris for a couple of years and getting used to walking to my local boulangerie, I didn't think that I would ever find this in Toronto. But find it I did, at Goûter that opened up on Bathurst a few months ago. The croissants, pain au chocolat and pain au raisin were perfectly flaky and fresh. By far the "most authentic" that I have found in Toronto (and I have tried a number of French bakeries on Avenue, Yonge, Bayview and Mt. Pleasant in North York). I didn't get a chance to try the baguettes yet (the real litmus test), but I will certainly go back. The confectionery and home-made icecream look delicious, and they have an amazing looking espresso machine that I definitely want to try. All-in-all, a great experience for a newly opened store on Bathurst. I will do my best to help it stay around. -------- OK, I just went back to try the fresh baguette (actually more like a French "tradition" with a harder crunchy crust and a chewy, rather than the soft fluffy inside of a baguette), and it was fantastic. Seriously. I am upping my review to 5 stars. Oh happy day!

Amazing pastries! Make sure you try their famous raspberry croissants! Their ice cream is delicious and every Thursday nights in the summer it's BOGO Scoops!!!

Their croissant and almond croissant are good. Their raisin bread is absolutely delicious!

Rodney and his team is incredible. Should you need a cake, bread, croissant, ice cream or chocolate - this is the place. They are super friendly - highly recommended!

In French, "goûter" is the verb for "to taste", and everything I've had so far at Goûter was definitely tasty. The interior smells of the fresh butter they use in their boulangerie, so entrancing! My significant other and I shared their Piña Colada gelato (especially amazing), Banana Chocolate Caramel gelato, Pain au chocolate (très bon!!), Almond croissant (though I think I prefer the filling at Amadeus and Nadege), Kouign-amann (MUST-HAVE, buttery sugary crispy fluffy goodness originating in Brittany, France), Tarte au chocolat (not as rich as I'd hoped), and a super crunchy French baguette (too crunchy for my tastes but I would still repurchase) that we used to make a couple sandwiches at home. There's a market across the road and a No Frills just North at Wilson where you can pick up toppings to make your own delights. The shopkeeper was very polite and definitely has a strong knowledge of French patisserie. She let us sample their new scones - buttery, a bit cheesy, and fluffy, yet with a firm crust, we'll have to get some next time! From what I've seen, they also allow you to pick up frozen Pain au chocolat (and perhaps other items) that you can proof and bake in your own kitchen! I asked about when they usually sell out of their baked goods, and apparently every day is different. If you are worried, you can order in the morning and then pick up your items by the end of the day. They really care not to over-produce so that they don't waste food, and so that their products are always fresh out of the oven. I was really impressed when the shopkeeper said that they make everything themselves, nothing from other stores. Verdict: Definitely one of the best patisseries in the city. We'll definitely be back to try their other products and repurchase our favourites! Looking forward to trying some chocolates, eclairs, and more pastries!

Goûter sounds quite promising since it’s a French word. Unfortunately it doesn’t represent food quality at all. - The quiche was hard and burnt. I threw away almost the whole one. - their goods are not freshly baked daily. If you order on Sunday morning delivery, they’ll give you yesterdays pastries. They were obviously not baked in the morning. - ice cream they make is good one, stuff is nice Though I wouldn’t go to Goûter anymore, it doesn’t worth it. They have to impose on their quality and standards

We got some treats for Valentine's Day, including donuts, chocolate, butter tarts, and ice cream. The donut flavours were really interesting and yummy, and we liked the butter tarts too! Looking forward to trying the croissants and other pastries at future visits!

Authentic French pastry; flaky, buttery, not too sweet- I brought one for my hubby- he said it was the best thing he ever ate!!

They have the most delicious pastries and other goodies! Gouter's croissants are the best I've ever had, and I lived in France for a while!
