Patchmon’s Thai Desserts & More

Five years ago, I asked myself a question, «where can one try Thai dessert in Toronto?» Second questioned popped to my mind was, what was Thai dessert? That’s when I realize the sad truth which turned out to be happy discovery.
There was this little 2^nd floor office that my Thai friend took me that had desserts on weekends, and it wasn’t a restaurant serving Mango Sticky Rice {as much as I love it}. The colors and flavours were both a kaleidoscope to my senses.
Four years ago, I found myself in Thailand and as it turns out I didn’t have Thai dessert in a restaurant either but some street vendor on wheels. My Thai dessert horizons expands. Coming back to Toronto contracted my horizons once again but at the same time more unique authentic Thai restaurants appeared providing a minimal glimpse of hope.
To this day, Toronto is still a sad wasteland for Thai desserts so by now you should guess my justified bias for Patchmon’s Thai Dessert. Most of the desserts they offered while I was at the small shop was coconut heavy, gelatinous, or flaky. The menu was surprisingly big in my opinion which is a good thing for customers and along with Thai friendly customs, they may make your special request items {I believe they said if you go on facebook} but you’ll have to contact them.

You can learn a culture from their Desserts? Then come to Patchmon’s Thai Dessert and More for a taste of «Real» Thailand and its People.
The 2 sweet shop owners just reminds me of the kindness and hospitality of Thai. A big smile, A warm welcome and one got to try every single dessert available that day!
Just like other Asian desserts, nothing here is overly sweet. Some even has a balance of sweet and savory.
Come here on Saturdays if you want to try some authentic dessert that needs special preparation. And of course you can always pre order some for pick up!
For most up to date selections, check out their Facebook page.
Patchmon’s though a little far for me, but if I willing to travel to Thailand to eat, I should be able to come to Patchmon’s for some of their sweets!

This small little job is super unique in the area. Specially daily made thai desserts makes a great little addition to a small gathering.
They only open Wed to Sat. I found out the hard way. I finally made it in here yesterday. Cash only.
They encourage you to try all the different flavours and desserts before you buy. Which is nice if you don’t know what you’re buying. Each box is of about 7 – 8 pcs are about $ 7, but you can mix and match. It’s harder for the cookies and savouries because they don’t make it every day.
There is a rice gummy in the shape of a flower, a fresh pureed banana in a leaf, coconut milk (refrigerated), taro pudding (refrigerated), savoury cookies one with spices and one with mackerel, cassava cake with coconut.
Also try the thai curry flaky pocket for $ 2. It was really yummy.
They also have some desserts you can order online which is made fresh to order, that is made out of egg yoke.
I also found out that they supply the desserts for some thai restaurants in the area (which is what they are doing on Mon/​Tues).

If you are ever craving or ever want to try authentic Thai desserts give Patchmon’s Thai desserts a try! They are the closest to being the authentic Thai desserts you will find in Thailand. They have very amazing variety which change almost every week. The prices aren’t too crazy. They are $ 6 for each package which contain bite-​sized desserts in them.
These Thai desserts are not your typical desserts. Almost all of them are steamed and are made from coconut/​milk/​egg. They are not similar to any other desserts and you certainly cannot find these in any local market. nothing can beat a freshly homemade Thai desserts and I believe this is the only place in GTA that offers that!
I personally have never been to the store itself (they were kind enough to deliver them to me and both times were during the weekends.) They do not do regular delivery but I think on some days at certain times they may be able to deliver at certain subway stations or somewhere nearby to them. The owners are very friendly and very passionate about what they are doing.
I’m happy to know there is a store that I can rely on if I ever crave Thai desserts ever again :)

Dropped by to check out this new Thai dessert place in our ‘hood.
Super friendly staff encouraged us to sample almost every dessert they had to offer and we decided to get a small box of the coconut jelly cakes ($ 6).
Patchmon’s is a lovely addition to the area that is densely populated with European baked goods. When it comes to dessert, I’m a fan of every ethnic variety!

Right outside of Jane Station, on Bloor Street, is a special little place that sells a dessert type that I don’t think gets a whole lot of recognization but really should.
Thai Desserts.
Truth be told, for the amount of food places I’ve been to… this one was a new experience all around.
Entering into the shop, it’s a tiny little shop with a couple tables on the right as well as a counter top, with an array of different Thai desserts… none of them I’m familiar with.
I had a sample of the one with Pandan in it, which was gelatinous but really subtle in sweetness and it was really tasty. Another one, which I ended up buying was this Casava treat, again gelatinous, but the toasted coconut was really a nice compliment to the starchiness that is called Casava (I’m sorry for butchering the spelling for this).
I bought a Thai Iced Tea and I thought the Iced Tea was really really good in flavour and the nice orange-​y colour when the milk and double steeped tea is mixed together but I thought it was 2 shades over on the sweet side. Tone down the sugar level and I think you have a BIG winner right there.
I think they are only accept cash (I didn’t see a credit card terminal machine) so ensure that you bring some cash.
I’m more than inclined to come back again and try the rest of what they have. I’d encourage, at MINIMUM, you make a visit there. It’s unique, it’s runned by people that are earnest, sweet and pleasant to be around, and plus they’re desserts. How do you refuse a dessert, hmm?

Thai desserts are mostly made at the end of the week, so they’re best from the beginning of the week to middle.
It’s a charming location, with a fresh layout. The people who work here are extremely helpful and passionate about their ready Thai treats.
The layer cake, steamed one layer at a time are fantastic, and their jasmine cakes are super flavorful.
Every day they have a few different rotating desserts on offer.
It’s worth stopping in frequently.
