So so so good! Came here late on a Saturday evening. It's an unassuming little place from the outside that's very clean looking (if not sparse). There is a very small display of desserts (which all look excellent) and a limited ice cream option. However, after examining everything we decided to settle on the expresso cake. This may have been one of the best (if not the best) desserts I have ever had (and I'm a huge fan of ice cream based desserts so it's very difficult to change my mind). The expresso cake was very very indulgent, with rich creamy chocolate and thick mousse mixed with layers of chocolate cake. The star of the slice was the fantastic layer of gooey salted caramel. Everything was heavenly and wonderful and there was a bonus perfectly chewy and delightful half macaron on top which was icing on the cake (maybe not the best metaphor). It's a bit pricey if you want to cater for a large group or if you want a box of macarons but for a rich dessert craving, check it out!

The MSCo Patisserie was a stop on the Caffeine Crawl this past weekend. I have heard of their delicacies and seen their Market table but have never been to the shop. I now know what I was missing. The good thing about the Crawl was we got to sample their opera cake, nitro stout ice cream float, and their caramel coffee pudding. I will be back to try more, now that I know where they are on Willy St. Thank you for being a part of the Caffeine Crawl!

Lovely place for coffee and dessert. We stopped in after dinner on Willy Street. I can't comment on the bakery because we're currently limiting sugar in our diet but the espresso breve that we each got and the staff themselves were wonderful. They made us feel welcome and advised on all the coffee and espresso selections that were available. Many times coffee shops add a side of attitude that you didn't order with your coffee/goodies, happy to report that wasn't the case here.

Finally made it to MSCo patisserie and it did not disappoint. Everything looked delicious in the case. I had been wanting to try their french macarons for a while. They had 5 flavors, that change weekly. The vanilla cacao nib flavor was amazing. They are pricey, $2.75/each but that's about average price. I also had the chocolate rye orange cream puff. The cream puff was also amazing. The orange cream in the middle was light and not overwhelmingly orangey. The chocolate puff was light and there was a light chocolate sauce or spread on the inside. I will definitely be back for more macarons and their other pastries, which also change. Staff was also helpful and friendly explaining what the different desserts were.

Yes, Willy St. is a far cry from Bordeaux but you must grab a canele if they have them. Soft and tender on the inside with a nice carmelized crust, they are a perfect one (if you are a pig like me) or two bite treat. Beside caneles, the patisserie features other sweet delicacies. My other faves being the Sable Breton as well as the Opera Cake/ But let's be honest, the only thing holding me back from liking all of them is my waistband and blood sugar level.

Beautiful pastries, beautiful space. I can't believe it's taken me until now to make my way in. The impetus for my trip was to buy a small thank you gift and after browsing their website I found a few small and affordable treats to make up a little gift box comprising caneles and shortbread cookies (chocolate and lavender). I also ended up treating myself to a hazelnut religieuse - give a little, get a little? The two women who helped me were welcoming, efficient, patient with my indecision, and happy to answer any questions I had. When I butchered the pronunciation of religieuse, I was corrected without condescension. They were also unbothered by my needing to box up and ring out in two separate orders with two separate cards, and made sure I had the receipts I needed. Now, onto the part we actually care about: how delicious was that hazelnut religieuse? Incredibly. These pastries are meant to be savored, enjoyed, looked at. The choux dough was light and the larger puff had a slightly sweet and crackly coating. The hazelnut cream was smooth and flavorful, and the small accents of chocolate frosting were delicious. The highlight for me, though, was an addition that was but an accent - a dab of smoky caramelized sugar on top. It's not meant to be the star, but combined with the main elements of the dessert it was out of this world. In the future I will save the tiny topper for last. Some of the desserts can be a bit pricy, but if you keep in mind that these treats are meant to be savored and focused on as opposed to just a means for satisfying your sweet tooth, the price tag won't seem so steep.

Wow! What can I say? I'm happy we have a small version of Extraordinary Desserts in our area. It's more the experience than the desserts. We got the feature white cake with lemon flavor, the strawberry rhubarb sorbet and an oprah cake. They also have a list of wine and beer available. The flavours were there but muting really stood out. We really enjoyed the desserts outside. Nice, very accommodating service. Check their Facebook for free screen movie nights in the summer!

So incredibly delish! I love the ambiance and the pastries... not to mention the ice cream! I stopped in to Madison Sourdough and noticed the open door. I'm so glad I went in, because it has made my life a better place. So far, I've tried the Strawberry Pistachio Dacquoise and the Religieuse. Both light, fluffy, and airy -- the way I like my desserts. The raspberry plum sorbet is also incredibly good. You taste the raspberry up front, then taste the plum flavors on the back end. My only qualm? They are still in the process of getting up and running, so they ran out of a lot of their ice cream and were in the process of making it when I stopped in for the second time this week.

A weekly stop for treats, conveniently located on Willy street! I would definitely give 5 stars for the pastries, but maybe 3 for the venue. Although it is attached to MSD, somehow the indoor area of Patisserie is not to my liking. At times it is a little stuffy (insufficient air circulation), and it seems like there are very few tables. Definitely a pricier place for sweet pastries, but it is just as expensive as getting dessert at a restaurant. So I would call the prices reasonable. I enjoyed every dessert I've tried there and I think I've been through most of them.. lol. Some recommendations: Chocolate crunch tart - unassumingly delicious tart. love the crunchy bits and awesome crust! Financiers - I almost always leave with a financier. I love the hazelnut chocolate one, the pistachio one, they are so good for a light breakfast!! Peanut butter flavored cronut looking like pastry (will update with name after I check it out again) - so good! the cream wasn't too overwhelming, and love the nuts on it!! I'm really grateful that there is a nice spot to hang out with friends for desserts and some light beer/wine while you wait for tables at neighboring restaurants on Willy street. And the desserts are wonderful for bringing home as well. As I mentioned, I frequent this place weekly, so you might see me there next time ;) P.S. When is the gelato available? Please have them soon!!!

Beautiful fancy bakery items and very nice coffee and tea offerings, all for a pretty penny. My fiance and I came here a few days after MSCo opened. We split the citrus tart ($7 for a teeny tart), and it was outstanding. Probably one of the best citrus desserts I've ever had, but quite expensive. The space is lovely, and all of the bakery items looked drool-worthy. However, I would probably treat this as a special occasion bakery. They have very pretty boxes of macarons and other attractive baked goods that would make nice gifts, so I'll likely come for those or for dessert on a special day.
