Aux Merveilleux de Fred

“I had such a wonderful experience at Aux Merveilleux de Fred! The pastries were absolutely delightful—perfectly light, flavorful, and beautifully crafted. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the entire visit even more enjoyable. I especially loved watching the pastries being prepared fresh in front of the customers. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and unique treat!”

On a perfectly wintery evening, my family planned to go to a nice coffee and we zeroed in on Aux Merveilleux de Fred and had mixed feelings about the experience. I tried the chocolate chip and the sugar Cramique, which were both good—fresh, soft, and flavorful. However, the beverages didn’t quite meet my expectations. I had both a cappuccino and a latte, and they were just okay—not bad, but not particularly memorable either. The ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant, with a cozy vibe that made it a nice spot to relax for a bit. However, despite the nice setting and decent pastries, the overall experience was somewhat underwhelming. It didn’t leave a strong impression or make me feel eager to return. We also had the chocolate pudding that wasn’t great and we were not able to finish it. We slso had the dark chocolate Merveilleux, which was OK but was too sweet for dark chocolate flavour. I think it’s a good spot if you’re in the area and want a quick pastry, but there’s room for improvement, especially with the coffee and overall cohesiveness of the experience.

Great bakery serving meringues and also great options of bread, coffee , shakes etc. love the smell inside the cafe.... It has a nice seating space as well... The meringues are to die for. So fresh and soft. I loved the cherry, hazelnut, chocolate ones... The chocolate brioche buns was also fine...not as fresh baked... A little pricey but worth it.

DANGEROUS FOR YOUR WAIST LINE (you have been warned). The meringue dessert was outstanding!!! The baked buns were also really good. I thought the Waffles were ok. Very warm atmosphere with great service. Cannot wait to go back for more meringue dessert.

The pastry was really good, but the coffee was even better! The barista did an amazing job—he made me a cappuccino that was honestly one of the best I’ve had in a long time. It’s hard to find a simple cappuccino this good in downtown these days. Definitely coming back!

Walked past this place and saw the beautiful buns from the window so the next day we came back to have some for breakfast! The chocolate buns were Soooooo Good!! Wow, exactly how I thought they would be but they were actually even better. Highly recommend!! Their latte had a nice strong flavour as well. Wish I grabbed some to-go...

I’ve been to many similar establishment, but this one truly stands out. The attention to detail on their desserts and commitment to guest service set it apart from the rest. They accept cash , visa and MasterCard. Amex is currently not accepted. Had a great time and will definitely be back. Wish you and your staff a great day ahead!

I’ve been here twice. Once on a busy afternoon in the spring and the bread was less fresh and the cafe was too crowded. I didn’t enjoy the chocolate bread then because it was too chocolatey. I returned on a brisk fall morning when they opened and the sugar raisin bread, cromik, and latte were divine
