"You could spend hours in here, talking, eating, having a cup of coffee, brunching or even hunching over your laptop as you work on your projects. And that's the best part. The staff would love to have you stay a while, chat and offer you a quick bite of quiche or pastry. It's not aiming to be the quintessential Parisan cafe, but it certainly has the hospitality of the French. Enjoy some of the desserts and cakes while sitting next to the windows on a fall/winter afternoon. The warm atmosphere will make you that much gladder you're out of the cold." - Kev Seto

Institutional neighbourhood bakery with all sorts of treats, cakes and breads. Can see why this place has such a loyal following: their stuff is pretty and caters to all types of sweet teeth.
Been here a couple of times and enjoyed. My most recent visit, we got the cream brioche and mont blanc. Brioche was a tad dry and would have liked more filling. Mont blanc was smooth and creamy and tarty all at the same time.
Good amount of seating area. Prices are on the higher side but not unreasonable. Service is efficient.
A good stop if you want some treats!

An absolute gem on the Danforth. It was like I was transported into France. The patio was delightful and the washroom was clean. They have housemaxe French pastries definitely going to give one a try next time. The staff was pleasant and helpful. But their pastries looked like something straight out of Miraculous.

Honestly love this place SO much and wish it was a lot closer to me than it currently is. Their cakes are decadent and there are so many different textures, flavours and depth that complement each other perfectly. They do not skim on the ingredients and the quality and you absolutely get what you pay for! On average I think their cakes may be $5-10 more expensive than some other bakeries but truly worth paying the extra to get a significantly better cake that delivers every time.
There are a few tables as well for sit in for you to enjoy a beverage w a pastry, whether sweet or savoury.

Excellent coffee, food and service. By far the best croissants in Toronto.
The food choices are all delightful.
I have had small meetings here over the years and it is the perfect setting and the $3.25 coffee is offered as an unlimited cup. They also have a lovely outdoor seating area.
Overall, an excellent choice. You won't be disappointed. It's a hidden gem!

I purchased 3 croissants. The lady charged me for 3 different items that had different pricing. She said two of them had the same price but all three items had different pricing. The croissants reminded me of Costco. I do not trust or recommend this establishment.

One of the best pastry places on the Danforth! We’ve been eating here for years and are never disappointed. The pastries are fresh and have phenomenal flavor at a very reasonable price.

Since I moved out of Toronto, I miss this place so much. Every payday I would stop on my way home and pick up their Prince Noir praline hazelnut mousse cake. It was so delicious that I have been looking for an equal replacement cafe and patisserie ever since with no luck. Your cakes live in my happy memories.

Love This Place!
Patisserie La Cigogne on the Danforth is such a great find. I tried the pear pie and it was amazing—packed with real pear slices and just the right amount of sweetness. The croissants are delicious too—super buttery and flaky, just like they should be. It’s so nice to taste traditional French recipes. Definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in the area!
