Petit Nuage

Amazing ! Such a small little bakery but it does not disappoint. The macaroons are are chewy with the perfect sweetness. I also tried the cream puffs which was really good. Would definitely love to go back again just for the cream puffs. So glad I have tried to place. For someone that has tried macaroons all over Toronto, I would say their macaroons are pretty good.

This was our last stop at Market 707 during our downtown food trip, and we got a matcha cream puff ($ 4.50) and two macarons ($ 2.25 each).
The matcha cream puff we ate at a table right outside of Petit Nuage. The matcha cream was fresh (we watched them make it), and for $ 4.50, it’s a treat that I would not buy every day, but would consider doing again. They were nice enough to get us a knife and plate so we could cut it up and share it.
The macaron flavors we bought were lemon-​lavender, and sake peach blossom. We had the sake peach blossom. I did not think it tasted particularly of sake, but there was a dollop of something akin to peach jam on the inside that I thought was quite nice. The lemon-​lavender one I ended up giving to a certain little cousin of mine who told me that if I went, she wanted a macaron (she’s never been to Petit Nuage, but saw me looking up places on Unilocal and told me she wanted me to go to this one).
If I’m in the area, I wouldn’t mind stopping for another cream puff, but I’m not the biggest fan of macarons, so I think I’d pass on those next time.

you’d never guess that this place sells macarons that are on par with the best in the city.
creative flavors that work and are delicious. they also make a great macha latte.

Was quite impressed with the quality for this tiny little shop run by one person. Overall I think this place is definitely worth a try. The filling for one of them was a little more thick than im used to, but the flavour was really good!
I got the following flavours:
Peach sake — probably the most unique of the bunch. There is kind of a syrupy thing in the macaron which had a slight liquor flavour to it.
Hojicha — the filling was a little thick and paste-​ish with tea flavour
HK Milk Tea — good
Royal Earl Grey — one of my faves
Matcha — another fave
Yuzu Honey — ok

Cute store and yummy macarons but a bit too sweet for my liking. Matcha is the best and for 6 it’s $ 14. Would rather go to
Butter Avenue since they are only $ 0.75 more expensive and their macarons are not as sweet. Definitely check it out though. The area that it is located has a lot of tiny food stalls.

Went second time for a cream puff filled with Matcha cream.
The puff was crispy and the Matcha cream was perfectly sweetened and very creamy.
It is a hidden gem

Was so excited to finally try this tiny but attractive bakery, situated slightly back from the row of storage container market stores along Dundas West. Stephanie was very pleasant and went over the bakery offerings for today, which included matcha cream puffs ($ 4), black sesame matcha roll cake slices ($ 5/​slice), and various colourful macarons including royal earl grey, hk milk tea, black sesame, hojicha, yuzu honey, as well as others.
I purchased 2 cream puffs, a slice of roll cake, and 2 macarons. They also sell Sloan tea.
The black sesame matcha roll cake was moist and had a noticeable amount of matcha flavour. The black sesame cream filling was more subtle to me but I enjoyed the white chocolate crunchy pearls and the fact that it wasn’t too sweet. Hubby and I shared this with my mother in law and she enjoyed it as well.
The matcha cream puff had a crunchy exterior not unlike a HK pineapple bun but filled with a very generous amount of matcha pastry cream. Messy but delicious and again, not too sweet (as I like it).
Looking forward to coming back here again to try their earl grey roll cake as earl grey is one of my faves!

All that being said, this is one of the most interesting enterprises to take up shop in the Market 707 cluster of converted shipping container shops at the Scadding Court Recreation Centre, animating that stretch of Dundas Street. And all that being said off-​pattern still, {TTC: 505 or 511 streetcars to Dundas at Bathurst}

Definitely a hidden gem in the Bathurst and Dundas area. Upon arriving to Petit Nuage, you notice a bunch of cargo units, colourful and small. Petit Nuage is tucked in the back of majority of the other stalls.
As you enter in, there is only really room for 2 customer at a time. Very cute atmosphere (small kitchen behind, with a cooler filled with her sweet treats.) The owner was very friendly and helpful as we asked her questions about her baked goods. I got the matcha cream puff and a dozen of assorted macarons (ranging from flavours such as: Matcha, Sake peach, hk Milk Tea, milky earl gray) All flavours are very asian inspired and unique. Price is also very fair as a dozen macaron was only 22 $ (compared to butter avenue and nadeage it is a very fair price). The size of the macaron are normal and texture is just perfect! Crispy shell with not too heavy filling.
The matcha cream puff is amazing. I am still dreaming about it to this day! She filled up the cream puff with so much matcha filling that when you bite in everything squirts out! The cream puff shell is also very crispy and taste a little bit like the asian pineapple bun crust! So good and so worth it for the price.
Definitely an amazing place to stop by if you are having an asian sweet tooth craving!

After reading rave reviews on Unilocal — dropped by Petit Nuage in the afternoon hoping they don’t run out of macarons. I was on a mission for finding a gift. When I arrived there were already two people inside choosing through a variety of macaron flavours and their seasonal flavours. Purchased salted caramel, yuzu honey, lychee raspberry, matcha, oolong honey and earl grey macaron and a nice slice of earl grey cake roll for me! It tasted so good, dived right in with a fork the moment I got home! Highly recommend checking out their Facebook page for their hours and variety of selection for the day. Also received a complimentary heart macaron, thanks!

I stumbled upon this store’s instagram and decided to Unilocal it. The reviews were glowing so I had to come check it out myself! I took the 1 and a half hour bus ride from Scarborough to the tiny little shop right at Bathurst and Dundas. Was it worth it? If there was a response that expressed «yes» more than «yes» then… Yes! The owner had car troubles so opened the place about an hour late, but the extra waiting did not dampen my experience there. She is a very friendly lady who’s down to earth; her enthusiasm is infectious. :)
There were only macarons for sale that day in terms of baked goods so I decided to get 12. Two of each flavour: uji matcha, yuzu honey, HK milk tea, milky earl grey, black sesame and lychee raspberry. The uji matcha macaron is ON POINT, I liked this one more than Butter Avenue’s. The earl grey, black sesame and lychee raspberry are also delicious. I have yet to try the others but if they’re anything like the previous ones I’ve tried then I’m in for a treat. :)
What really made my experience amazing was Steph offering me a free cup of warm peaches and cream white tea and a free matcha macaron for my troubles. That really brightened my day. The packaging on everything is also very very cute (I love the teatime cats).
I am 100% going to return to this awesome little joint to try some of the cream puffs, cake and matcha latte!

Came here before the new year and got a few macarons to taste test, and they were great. A lot of flavors run out faster than the others, so my original plan to get a huge box for a party fell kind of short. Either way, it was a great set that I had, tasty and a bit sweeter than normal so they’re great for tea time (if people still do that). The place is real small and cant have more than 1 – 2 buyers at a time so go check out something else in the Scadding market and come back if there’s a line.
Will definitely be back to some of the other stuff they have.

This place was hard to find. It’s literally a small box. However, I do love this place. It’s truly a gem that deserves more exposure! The owner was super nice and sweet, and she makes all the food items herself! I got the matcha latte, which had a distinct and strong taste. It’s very authentic and not artificial tasting. However, I would advise those who enjoy sweet lattes to not get this drink, as the matcha is strong. I also got a box of macarons, which were all delicious! My favourite was the earl grey.

1 star for the lovely owner/​baker — mad props to her for making all those delicious treats alone!
1 star for the macarons; most of them were bursting with flavors… especially the tea flavored ones as it’s pretty hard sometimes to taste the light flavor teas. The macarons aren’t as chewy as I’d like… but they do have some pretty unique flavors i have not seen elsewhere.
1 star for the matcha cream puff I had today. loved that that puff was filled when purchased, that way the cream did not make the puff soggy.
1 star for the matcha filling, it was full of flavor! I love it when i can taste a bit of green tea bitterness.
It’s a pretty good place, however, don’t expect to sit and enjoy your dessert in the shop as it’s just a food stall and there’s no seating… which made it pretty tough for cold weather, you must get it to-​go. The treats were memorable, however, if I have to drive 45 mins down there, it might just not be worth the trip. However, if i am in the area and I need a little pick-​me-​up then I would definitely visit.

Amazing gem! Stephanie is super nice and makes amazing unique flavour macarons and serves amazing earl grey tea. Got a dozen macarons for an amazing price (we spent $ 27). Will definitely come back for more treats!

Cute little shop. Very little indeed but it’s like a slice of Paris planted along Dundas.
Had to try a cream puff due to the reviews and there was only one left when we arrived at 3PM. The flavour of the day was matcha.
Firstly, the cream puff was huge and impossible not to have the filling explode on you. Make sure you grab napkins (or bring a bib)! It isn’t your typical cream puff shell – it is crispy and comparable to the crust topping of a HK pineapple bun. It was delicious and each bite definitely sends you up into a petit nuage :)
If you are a macaron fan, the ones they had on display looked perfect!

I stumbled upon this little hidden gem via Instagram and actually made the trek out here alone one day because I just had to give it a try. It’s a tiny little shop, and to be honest when I was in there I was kind of terrified I was going to knock something over or destroy the whole thing like a bull in a china shop, but really the place is quite charming in its own way. I came specifically to try the macarons and also the iced matcha latte. They usually have a selection of about 10 – 12 macaron flavours, which I think is pretty impressive given the size of the store. I got a box of six — milky earl grey, matcha, yuzu honey, jasmine apricot, HK milk tea, and coconut pineapple. All of the macarons are these lovely pastel colours and the boxes they come in are ADORABLE with pictures of cats on them. My two favourite flavours were HK milk tea and jasmine apricot, but honestly I don’t think you could go wrong with any of the flavours. To be quite honest, the texture of the macarons wasn’t the very best I’ve ever had (both Nadege and Butter Avenue still share the #1 spot), but these came really close, and I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed! I think I would have liked them to be just the tiiiiinest bit chewier, but mad props to Steph on a solid job well done. The iced matcha latte was also very refreshing — I got mine unsweetened so the matcha flavour was VERY potent, so die-​hard matcha fans are sure to enjoy this. Anyways I would definitely come back again the future to try other flavours as well as some of the other pastries that they offer here!

I didn’t believe the five star at first so I had to go and try it out myself. It’s not a big bakery but more on size of a kiosk sized little shop. They don’t have much of a variety in desserts except macarons, lattes, other drinks and cream puffs but if those are what you are looking for then this is a great small shop to stop by at. Macaroons are flavourful and rich. I love how the sizes are a tad larger than the typical macaron and the texture is fresh and chewy! Did I mention the owner is quite friendly and she uses fine matcha powder all the way from Uji (place in Japan) :) Oh last but not least, their cream puffs, specifically the matcha cream puffs are to die for! I normally don’t like or eat cream puffs but I absolutely love this one and I know when I’m craving macaron or cream puffs I’ll definitely return here!

*The macaron and pastry boxes are designed by Steph’s friends. She also sells some cat magnets (of course I got a pack), local jams and imported Japanese candies as well.
*The selection of cakes and pastry varies throughout the days, whereas the flavors of macarons are depended on the seasons.
(Psh insider secret. To check what type of pastry Steph will have for the day, follow her Instagram @petitnuagetoronto :). If you see something that you like, comment on the photo to reserve that item and of course, make sure to pick it up on the same day before the store closed).
–Key Lime Cream Puff — $ 4:
There are other flavors as well, such as green tea and vanilla. Steph advised that the cream puff is best to be eaten after the lid is taken off, unless you want to save it for later then store in the fridge with lid on! Before you devour the cream puff, make sure to bite from the hole where the cream was piped in, or else you will be faced with an explosion mess — you have been warned.
The cream puff was really really tasty. I liked Steph’s cream puff more than Papa’s beard cream puffs as I found the latter to be incredibly messy to eat. The cream puff’s shell here is not too flakey and had a slight crunch, which was quite interesting. The cream itself was smooth, not too sweet and had a hint of sour taste from the key lime :).
–Black sesame honey matcha cake — $ 6:
The cake itself is a bit harder than I thought, and although the flavors might seems a bit strange, the bitter green tea and nutty black sesame was a perfect combination! However I would have prefered to have more of the matcha flavor, as I found the black sesame was too rich and the sweetness from the honey was a bit overwhelming as well.
–Plum & Matcha hard candy:
At first I disliked the initial taste, but then I decided to keep the candy in my mouth longer, it starts to get sweet inside. It’s like eating a sour and salty plum then it slowly get better and sweeter. Though I couldn’t detect the matcha flavor, I don’t mind it as much as the candy is actually quite addicting!
–Iced matcha latte — $ 4.75:
Petit Nuage was recently crowned as having the best green tea latte in Toronto, so of course I have to get it on all my visits ;). Steph told me the matcha powder that she used is imported from Japan, and it is not being sell anywhere in Canada but Steph has the connection: p. Interestingly she said all high grade matcha powder should be stored in the fridge to preserve the powder, if someone tell you otherwise, that means the matcha powder is not a good quality one! The iced matcha latte at Petit Nuage was really refreshing and not too sweet (you can ask her to add more syrup if you like). It had a deep, vegetal taste, a strong aroma and a lingering sweetness that leaves your mouth watering.
–Macarons:
Petit Nuage sells a box of 6 macarons for $ 12, whereas a box a dozen is $ 25. In general I found that the macarons at Petit Nuage can be more sweet compared to other macarons I have had in the city. Their macarons are perfectly made in terms of texture.
*Strawberry Basil: This is a seasonal (summer) flavor and it was really good! There was strawberry jelly in the middle with a sweet basil ganache.
*Vanilla Rose: the rose flavor is a bit too strong and I felt it was clashing with the sweet vanilla, which made this macaron too sweet for my taste.
*Yuzu Honey: I wished the yuzu flavor was a bit stronger since it didn’t have a lot of that tangy, tart note but overall it’s really good! A must try!
*Hong Kong milk tea: tasted just like a cup of good old HK milk tea. A favourite!
*Jasmine Apricot: understated jasmine and apricot flavor. Not too sweet, It’s like drinking a nice cup of jasmine tea with apricot syrup.
*Uji Matcha: My favorite! The moment you bite into it, you get a gentle mouth feel of green tea (matcha) flavour along with the slight bitter ganache.
*Roasted tea and Persimmon: strong roasted tea flavor with (I believe) a subtle persimmon jam in the middle.
*Milky Earl Grey: I’m not sure what is the filling here, but there was only a slight hint of earl grey and I felt the filling overpowered the tea flavor.
*Lemon Lavender: I usually don’t like lavender as too much of it can taste like a hand soap, but this macaron had a strong lemon flavor with a faint taste of lavender. One of my favourite!
*Coconut Pineapple: Not too sweet with a strong taste of coconut until you get that slight tartness from the pineapple jam and coconut bits.

Great macarons, lovely and passionate chef /​owner.
Come here to get your macarons on! Flavours are forever rotating and there are seasonal cakes to try from time to time.
Been here a few times now and each time left with delicious sweets. Packaging is on point too!
