Duo is an amazing Japanese/french inspired patisserie, cafe & chocolatier, delicious espresso, scrumptious cakes, flaky pastries, fine chocolate truffles and more. Due to time constraints, I arrived to the store late Sunday afternoon, they were out of their most popular items, including the Mont Blanc, and canelé though their selection was limited, I was able to get my hands on Almond Croissant, Polonais Croissant (double baked croissant with hazelnuts & rum), and Banane (banana compote puff pastry), I also got a pair of single serve cakes, the Claire (yuzu cremeux, honey crisp apple, yuzu ganache cubes, yuzu montée cream, almond shortbread crust), and a Rockée (milk chocolate cream, chocolate caramel mousse, caramelized pecans, hazelnut coconut dacquoise, almond sablé, milk chocolate disk), and a box of (12) chocolate truffles, I could not leave before trying their coffee, pleased to say their espresso was as good as their pastries. Store is located in Markham, ON, right off highway 7, and 404 Freeway, though space is small, typical of most bakeries, it feels airy and very pleasant. Their customer service is excellent, the store is very busy, with long lines, but everyone was welcoming, they looked happy to be there, you can feel they love what they do.

The cakes are consistently fresh and flavourful. A go to favourite for the family is the Garden cake. We have tried other flavours and enjoyed it just as much. We are repeat customers and for good reason!

Quite a popular spot, there is always a lineup. We managed to beat the rush, and got ourselves a table to sit while sipping on the latte and “devouring” the pastries ?. Hehehehe .. very good would come back.

They have caneles, plenty of pastry and cakes. I like mocha canele, caramelized crusty outside, and soft tender custard inside. So yummy ?.We visited at noon, but when we came back at 4 pm to get some more pastries, there was only one plain croissant left.

This is truly one of the best bakeries and dessert shops anywhere. My cousin who has traveled all around the world loves this place and forces me to bring him here every time he visits. Amazing variety of baked goods, mousses, tarts, cakes, croissants etcMy favourite one is Mont Blanc. Fresh, really tasty, not overly sweetened, perfect balance of whip cream, chestnut purée and crust.Hazelnut latte was of amazing quality too.

Cute cozy cafe. I ordered an iced hazelnut latte and earl grey sandwich cookie (like an earl grey Oreo). It was delicious. I also purchased a vanilla bean milk jam. Excited to try it. Will definitely be back to try the other things.

Disappointed in the roast beef pastry, barely had any filling in it. It tasted good but come on lol not worth the money.
I had heard that it was delicious and I finally got to go, but when I bought the chocolate and raspberry cake and the Mont Blanc that I had always wanted to try, I found out that the showcase was dry? Mont Blanc is dry, crunchy and in terrible condition. 10 bucks for this makes me cry. The raspberry one was delicious.

Disappointed in the roast beef pastry, there was barely any filling inside. Halfway through I didn't get a single bite of roast beef so I decided to check inside and take a pic. It tasted good for supermarket roast beef cold cuts, but come on lol not worth the money.

Small coffee shop but always packed. Hard to find a table to seat. Desserts get sold out quick during weekends.They use very dark and bitter chocolate for mocha.Coffee was great. Pastry was good too. Fast line and service

A sleek and sophisticated cafe in the Markham area! This little morsel of heaven was absolutely delightful to eat. I don't remember ever being so happy to eat a dessert that is complex and light all in once. I absolutely love this cafe. But be warned, they run out of desserts by the afternoon, so be sure to stop by earlier in the day!
