Christmas is on a Wednesday this year and I'm just wondering if you will be open the Tuesday before for Christmas treats. I know you are normally closed on Tuesdays but thought maybe you would be open for you customers.

That's an answer for Eric to answer. I know they take Christmas orders well in advance. So I recommend calling and placing your orders. They get really busy this time of year.

Nice place and friendly people. Delicious food. Prices are slight expensive. The main issue is they accept only cash!!

I love everything about this bakery. The best staff. The friendliest owners. The most delicious homemade soups and sandwiches. The best French pastries ever. A huge variety of scrumptious quiche. The bread is the freshest. Espresso, hot chocolate, and coffee. So many desserts! Everything is made with their secret ingredient. You'll know what it is a soon as you taste anything made here!

Delicious savoury tarts, huge sausage rolls & the best croissants in Guelph. The salads are a steal at $4.99 for a small size which easily feeds two. The bean & black olive goes great alongside their mini potato salad. For the sweet tooth a decadent selection of eclairs and tarts awaits. Make sure to wash it down with the best Americano coffee in town.

You should know it's Cash only, and closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Parking is almost impossible to find near the shop, and it is 100% worth the effort.I've never had better. Inside the shop is a board that tells you what time/day goodies are ready. If you are lucky enough to get there just as the croissants are ready....

Best baked goods in the city. Full of seasonal offerings and flavours that very throughout the week. Go early for the best selection, but definitely a local gem.

For anyone craving baked goods during this time of physical distancing, this bakery is taking orders for pickup!! I’m obsessed with their custard filled brioche and their chocolate croissants! They also have amazing fruit tarts 😋

Eric the Baker has, hands down, far and away, the best pastries in Guelph, maybe the world. I love the gateaux basque, the chocolate almond croissants, the cinnamon buns...everything I've tried really. Great staff and service. Pastries from anywhere else just taste terrible after you've had the best.

Have only went once but can't wait to go back! I got two pesto pizzas, a brownie and some meringue cookies. The meringue cookies were melt in your mouth little pieces of heaven! Amd a hit with the whole family! The pizzas were delicious, they had tomatoes and coming from someone who won't eat tomatoes I LOVED them! They were cheesy and crispy with a softer inside. Brownies are my favourite dessert and they hit it right on the nose! Its thick and decadent and rich and so chocolatey! I'm so excited to go back and try more treats! Would definitely reccomend!

Clearly a very skilled Baker. Quality of the baked goods is apparent. Every bite is an experience. Danishes, croissants, oh joy! Prices are reasonable. Wait time could be a bit long but worth every second. Take a picture of the schedule so you know when to show up for your favourite items. Been here twice so far and everything was delicious. Will definitely be back. If a 6th star was available this place would get it for sure. Update: ordered a cake for a birthday. Quite frankly the best mousse cake I've ever tasted. It was a hit. Such a hit that pics didn't happen until it was almost too late.

One of our favorite places in Guelph to go and get baked goods and sit there enjoying their heat it up and then having beans green beans and olives steeped in the best olive oil or just having a quiche with mushrooms and Brie cheese. Plus the prices are unbelievable in terms of the value you get and the quality is second to nobody while making it feel like you're somewhere in Europe or Quebec possibly

This place is precious. Lots of selection and fresh. Actual France Frenchness going on here too. A pleasant outdoor seating area and a few indoor spots by the window. They only take cash unless that's changed. It's thoroughly worth a visit.

The best pastries this side of Paris! A truly French Pâtisserie baking up fresh Parisian-style goodies by the namesake pâtissier. The pain au chocolat and Croque Monsieur never disappoint! The early bird gets the Pain Au Chocolat!

Part of my Saturday morning routine, a stop at Eric’s for delicious baked goods. My favourite is a sausage roll or butter croissant. The staff are great and friendly. In the summer I sit on the sidewalk patio and enjoy an early morning espresso as well.

Excellent everything. Cash only. Mostly for take out as there was no real seating. 2 outdoor tables in nicer weather. As good or better than most of the top French bakeries in Toronto. Hot chocolate and mocha espresso made with real chocolate ganache. Reasonable pricing for the high quality. I ate cannele, passionfruit tart, ham and cheese Danish, and ham and onion quiche. Consistent quality, flavour and texture.
