The Best Madeleines in Toronto

One of the best parts about madeleines is that they're bite-sized, which means you can have more than just one. This traditional French cake is similar to a sponge cake in taste but is a lot more buttery, soft and light. Resembling the appearance of a seashell, this fancy delicacy is perfect any time of the day, especially if it's enjoyed with a cup of tea.

Here are some of the best places for madeleines in Toronto.

Roselle
