la cornetteria

la cornetteria . you’ve probably heard of this tiny italian patisserie before because of their zeppole. ah, the famous zeppole that makes an appearance only once a year, for a one month limited time only. come march, italian bakeries from all over repurpose their ovens to produce the little puffpastryalmost exclusively, popping them out at a dizzying pace. la cornetteria happens to make some of the best ones. tiramisu tiramisu lately, i’ve been a frequent patron of the tiramisu . ultra creamy, the cake is jam packed with thick, mascarpone cheese that makes each bite pillowy and and rich, coating the tongue with the unmistakable taste of coffee and a hint of cocoa. it’s light and not too sweet either, which makes this a favourite amongst those who like their desserts a little less sugary. this version of tiramisu places less emphasis on the core ladyfingers element, delegating them to hold the bottom layer together and provide the middle layer with some airy stability. the small versi

when you look at the store outside doesnt seem that muchb attractive but as soon as you walk in 😍 ! deliciouspastryeverywhere makes you wanna take a bite of everything lol. i go there for the cronuts..i think it's the only place in montreal that makes these. i recommend to give it a try the ricotta's one are insane.

tiny for its price. went to try out the much hyped "cronuts/cornetto" from la coretteria. located in the little italy of montreal, la cornetteria is an adorable little cafe that specializes in italian desserts. to be honest, i was expecting the cronut to be much bigger for $4 (considering we finished it in about 3 moderate bites). thepastryitself is nice and airy with a generous amount of custard filling on the inside. but as sweet as it is, its definitely not worth the price or the hype. the croissant with the cream filling on the other hand, was an excellent treat.

ever since the introduction of cronut by a frenchpastrychef in new york, the world went all crazy mode! and because montreal is part of the world (no, really?), we have been infected as well! and a mysterious force of curiosity has pushed me to pay a visit at la cornetteria at 10 am on a saturday, after being warned that they sell out the cronuts very early during the day. here they are. the precious little things. we were asked if we wanted the mysterious flavor. i asked them what flavor is it and only to be answered with “it’s a surprise!” worst surprise ever. it doesn’t taste as good as their regular cronuts, which has custard cream pipped inside. here’s the picture to see the croissant like doughnut. the verdict? is it worth 4$? no. this is outrageous how expensive these cost. i really think the market is milking this trend. texture? it looks different giving you an impression the insides would give you croissant vibes. but no. it doesn’t. once i bite, everything comes together l
