I went custard hunting today and stumbled upon a hidden gem close to home, filled with delicious croissants and other delightful French pastries. The shop is called “Cannelle French Pastries.”
I checked out some reviews on Google Maps and found out that the shop changed hands a few years ago. The friendly and cheerful person who served me mentioned that they recently moved from Stepney to Torrensville in February of this year.
To satisfy my custard cravings, I couldn’t resist picking a custard croissant. Since my workmates have been raving about cinnamon scrolls, I decided to grab one of those too!
The croissant was great—light and flaky without being overly greasy, and the custard was creamy and delicious. They really packed it in there!
As for the cinnamon scroll, it was such a treat! Unlike the heavy, overly sweet versions from American franchises, this one was just right. It wasn’t too dense, and the icing was balanced—it was not sickly sweet—so I enjoyed every bite without feeling overwhelmed. I could easily eat the whole thing without feeling like my islet cells were going into overdrive, pumping insulin.
