While walking down Yonge St. in North York after a lunch of some Pork Bone Soup (Superb and I can eat that almost every day). I was aiming to have some coffee and a little bit of dessert, you know for research purposes. I have the habit of checking out the different desserts that Toronto has, I tend to compare them with my desserts and would sometimes be impressed or most of the time, feel actual regret that I have purchased and eaten something that’s either not worth my money and the calories that I have to expend after eating an abomination of a dessert. 

This is not one of those times. 

I then saw Bake Code coffee shop just down the street that specializes in Croissants. Went inside and instantly saw the different types of croissants that they have. Unfortunately, my belly can only handle one and my fitness level will have to run for one hour to burn one croissant. They have regular croissants, Pain Au Chocolat, Pistachio croissants etc. Then I saw round croissants that I only get to see on Instagram and TikTok. A round croissant (Not sure if you can still call it a croissant), filled with Tiramisu, Pistachio, and Matcha Yuzu. Perfectly round with all those layers and trimmings outside. I just got to have this. But only one, Tiramisu is good but I just had some Tiramisu a few days ago. Pistachio is nice but I haven’t had much good experience in Pistachio here in Toronto and I would not want my dessert to be a disappointment after a hearty lunch. Matcha mixed with Yuzu (Japanese lime) has always been a good combination. Both matcha and yuzu are from Japan and I trust the Japanese when it comes to crafting stuff. 

So I have fixed myself on a Matcha Yuzu croissant (fitness and belly fullness limitations) and got my black coffee to match. Sipped coffee, admiring the croissant, I just looked like a creep on how I was manhandling that pastry. I turned it on the side, on the top, bottom, admiring all the layers that had come together to make this one perfect piece of bread.
