Serving real French macarons, croissants, eclairs, brioches, and much more, Ohh La LaPatisserie has built up quite a following for its sweet and savoury pastries. Owner and pastry chef Sebastian Judkovski has been whipping up the goodies in his store since 2012. “I make quite a selection of pastries, mostly French, but with a distinct taste that is uniquely my creation,” says Sebastian.
Sebastian’s specialty is the macaron – the French version, he notes, not the North American one. He offers a variety of flavours besides the usual chocolate: crystalized rose petals, lavender & milk chocolate, salted caramel, pistachio, and blackberry, to name a few. Croissants are also a big customer favourite, with four variations in regular butter, pain au chocolat, almond croissant, and a maple croissant.
“I do everything from scratch,” says Sebastian. “Everything is done here at the shop.” Sebastian works with his assistant pastry chef to prepare the day's offerings. “I don’t scrimp on the ingredients, and I make sure everything I have is the freshest.”
This southwest patisserie calls its plain croissants “butter heaven” for good reason – rich and flaky, the pastries are all made with top-quality butter. In the sweet department Ohh la la offers almond cream and Belgian chocolate croissants as well as a unique maple croissant filled with cinnamon and maple syrup and glazed with a maple syrup reduction.
You’ve never seen a macaron so pretty as Ohh La La Patisserie’s dulce de leche mini macaron cakes with chocolate ganache, cream and raspberries. Tall and tempting, with a flash of chocolate and berry topping, they’re irresistible.
