Closest pastry shop - not actually Parisian. It sells good Portuguese bread and sweets, plus they'll make you a cheap sandwich and sell you a beer if you can't manage the 7 minute walk to Bloor.

Croissants, cakes, cookies, ice cream. My favourite is the ice cream sandwich because they can make it with gluten-free cookies and vegan ice cream. I love seeing all the grown-ups (and kids) chomping down on their treats on the benches outside.
