Winter requires warming and for many, the most sociable experiences are enjoyed at cute cafes or on a comfy couch at home while sipping through steaming loose leaf tea or foamy latte.
On a recent snowflake adorned stroll along Toronto’s hip Queen Street West I was drawn to the inviting glow of the neighbourhoods newest snack-attack shop. The interior of Nugateau looks like a colour wheel of pretty pastries featuring edible gold, juicy raspberry and bright white coconut which appears like a petite, frosty, tundra landscape worth gobbling up in two quick bites.

The cafe’s recent opening ushers a new option for Toronto’s buzzy dessert scene. Nugateau’s eclairs are hand piped every morning, and feature a flaky crust with moist crumb interior. The luxurious cream fillings which fill the pastries are paired perfectly with each eye popping glaze. Whether you’re looking to grab a sweet treat on the go or grab a box of pretty pleasures to nibble on at home. Nugateau has you covered.
