Butter Avenue Yonge & Lawrence

I’ve been here multiple times over the past few years and it is one of my favourite places to get macarons. I love the variety of flavours they offer from classic raspberry to the more adventurous flavour of tomato and cheese. My favourite flavour would is the lychee raspberry. It’s perfect balance between sweet and sour as the sweetness of the lychee is cut by the raspberry jelly in the middle of the macaron. Even though this café is known for macarons, I usually order their cakes/​tarts more often. My all time favourite is the mango tart which is available in summertime but seeing as it’s winter, I’ll settle for Frosty, a super cute snowman cake that tastes of vanilla and coffee :)
Tl;dr
–basically the best place ever
–get 6 macarons to save on tax
–must tries: lychee raspberry macaron, any cake

my favorite place for Macaron in Toronto. they have the right texture for their shell, and full of flavours for the filling. My Face is Rose, Cassies, Earl Gray, Salted Caramel,.Chocolate. They also serve different St.Honores. Pistachio and Cassis one is really good

Free 2 hour parking in a lot 30 seconds away, and a clean simple store layout with delicious desserts. & No tax for 6+ macarons.
Probably my favorite place for macarons

The matcha macaron here is great. I need to try other flavors and their tarts, which all look good.
The staff seem pretty friendly and the space is pretty nice. Their chairs look like herman miller but are probably replicas…

Had a great time at Butter Avenue today for a meeting. Ordered a slice of st honore pistachio cake — I usually don’t like getting the last of things… but for places like Butter Avenue, it’s goes quick because it’s good. Also had the almand brulee and finally, after a million years of hoping someone would make it — red bean matcha macaron. I like that it’s priced at $ 2.35 more so than other places that cost $ 3 something (it’s bigger but I’d rather try more flavours). Ambience and environment at Butter Avenue is always great– perfect for a Sunday meeting or laid back solo chilling. Will definitely be back!

I came here to meet up with someone. I was going to eat some sweets but ended up only having time for a latte. It was a good latte. If i am in the area again, i would come here for a latte.
But the reason people probably come here is for the sweets. I didn’t try any, but it definitely looked good. It definitely had a lot of macarons! I also thought the shelf of different tea they had for sales looked very interesting as well.

Came here three times, Butter Avenue is a delicious macaron shop located on Yonge Street. Its easy to recognize with the canary yellow colour and I believe a pug as their logo animal?
I adore their variety and design of the wide selection of macarons. During valentines day, Butter Avenue makes cute heart shaped macarons. Candy cane macarons are made near to Christmas time.
Their macarons taste pretty good, the shell is soft and cracks gently. The filling is complimentary to the shell.

Butter Avenue is a small little café at the corner of Yonge St and Yonge Blvd. The small pastry shop is impeccably clean on the interior and it made it seem like a small boutique considering how neat everything was. They offer small cakes and a large selection of macarons for those who can’t get enough of them (the girlfriend).
Their wide selection of macarons were impressive and each one seemed to taste better than the next. My favorite ones were the Lychee, Matcha, and Earl Grey. The flavors are prominent inside and the crust was crisp and easily fell apart to make way for the gooey interior.
The prices are rather high, but I don’t know how it compares to others in the area. A box of a 6 macarons will run you about $ 14, but its packaged nicely and the little morsels were good. The lady behind the counter was friendly and offered suggestions as well as answered our questions. Good place to grab some quick dessert.

I went o this place to grab a few desserts for takeout. It is a very nice little boutique café and cake store. i can imagine people coming in just for an afternoon tea and deserts.
The items i got was 6 different flavours of macaroons, and a cake called jaden garden. The macaroons flavours were all hybrids, include early grey tea flavour, green tea, pinapple, etc. i would say the pinapple and earl grey tea really stood out as very good macaroons.
Now for the Cake, it is a very moist and interesting flavour combination, i think it is very experimental, and i aplaud them for trying new things. Also the presentation value is very good, as this cake actually looked like a garden plant with soil.
The price for this place is the same as a typical high tea style price, macroons at a little over $ 2 a piece, and a cakes at about $ 6 before tax. if you are in the area, then i think it is worth a try to take out. definitely great for giving to others as gifts, as the box design and the cakes are very elegant and presentable

I like their cakes better than their macarons. I like the macarons with the jelly filling. But the Macarons are too sweet for me for most part.
The iced coffees are nice.
Packaging is cute too.

My go-​to for macarons! I love how I can get pretty and delicious macarons in North York without having to venture down downtown. Their macarons are consistent in how they look and taste.
Butter Avenue has interesting subtle flavours that make me go back all the time. The flavours sound so unique that they are hard to resist.
Their cakes and tartes are great as well, and yep, lots of butter inside them as well. They’re on the pricier side for $ 7.50 each, but they’re worth it — the tartes come with two macarons each!

SOOO GOOD!!!
But soooo expensive! ;-;
Basically spent all my money here (*cries*), but it was worth it :’)
The macaroons were super good and I loved the matcha green tea brownie cake!
There were really little tables though so it’s hard to find a spot to sit down if you’re with your friends.
Must try!

Had the lychee and raspberry macaron dessert. It was super cute n quirky, but was just a very light-​textured, flavored whipped cream in a tart with some tiny macarons on top.
Appealing to the eye, but I feel like I spiked my sugar and wasted my calories for nothing.
Sugar sugar sugar. Lacking the drama it appears to have.

The macarons here are really really really good and the service is fantastic.

The macrons here are beyond delicious. The store is very nice and the staff are so friendly. The desserts are decadent in a good way. The only knock is the store is a bit out of the way and the price is relatively high. I would come again. You can get 6 macrons for about $ 14 plus tax.

After 3 years hunting for unique and classic macarons all over Toronto I still come back to this place. Not only are the macarons are the best I love the professional service.
I recommend the raspberry, matcha, salted caramel and pumpkin spice macaron!

SUGAR RUSH! Is what I’m experiencing right now. As the weather is 4 degress warmer than the usual –30 weather we’ve been having… I told Dave to meet me at Lawrence subway after work as we are going on a mission… Not far I assured him… Don’t worry about the address I know where it is I insisted… How much further? he yelled as he sped walked ahead… It was cold…
As we walked into Butter Avenue, our moods completely changed… I knew exactly what I wanted… The st. Honore pistachio, and three macaroons: cassisi, matcha and chestnut, strawberry cream cheese. Cassisi was the best… It tasted like jam! The honore pistachio was amazing… As well as the raspberry macaroons on top. The entire time I kept going yummm and «Dave!!! This is so good!!». It was worth talking about… I couldn’t even pay attention when trying to be «present» and asked Dave about his day… I don’t even know what he said cause in my head all I was hearing was «omg this is so delicious! Can I take one to go pleaseeee?»
It gets 4 stars because the price. We also got a salted caramel latte and chair latte and it all came to $ 27. The two drinks weren’t anything special… And its too bad cause the desserts was just phenomenal.
Will be back to try the other cakes. In the summer, it’ll be a nice excuse to go for a «walk» =D

My gf is a big fan of this place and you know what they say «happy wife happy life» haha. They are one of the premier macaron cafes in Toronto and there is always a line up or items sold out during special occasions.
I often come here to load up on treats for those special occasions throughout the year like birthdays, anniversaries and valentines day. Not to mention days where you did something wrong! :P Shhhh!
The choices are vast and my gfs personal favorites consist of sea salt caramel, pistachio and earl grey to name a few. The special seasonal flavours also add a nice mix into their staple menu. Be sure to come early to get the fresh batches that roll out of the kitchen.
I’ll definitely keep coming back so long as my girl continues to crave these little pricey treats. Be sure to make your orders in advance for Valentine’s day. I know I will! Although on the pricey side, these are probably some of the best macarons in Toronto by far!

We came here to grab desserts to go :) The box of 6 macarons was adorbz! My fave flavours were matcha, earl grey and strawberry white choco. We also got a mousse cake with a mini macaron on top, green tea flavoured.
It’s a small café with 3 tables (or 4?) but exquisitely decorated with a macaron layered cake on display. Could be a nice date place, recommended to try :)

I died and gone to sugar heaven! This was was recommended by my friend (not a Unilocaler). We had only eaten a couple rolls of sushi for dinner, saving room to blow the quota at Butter Avenue. It certainly did not disappoint.
The displays were so pretty! I wish theres was a bigger selection though. I’m a sucker for sweets! I had the Vanilla Tart (Crème Chantilly vanilla, white chocolate, macarons, fresh berries). It was one of the sweetest things I’d ever eaten! $ 8 was certainly worth it. Next time, I’d like to try more macarons. It was so fresh & the textures were just perfect. I might even like it more than the macarons from Paris.
I feel there could be great potential at this place esp if they offer afternoon tea, etc. Who wouldn’t want a shower here & be spoiled?
Staff was friendly and efficient. Parking is available on adjacent side streets or if you go late enough, just park at loblaws (slightly north) & walk over.
I pass by this place at least once a week & the macaron display is constantly changing.
