Taste Blooms Pastry Shop & Eatery brings Le Cordon Bleu and nostalgia to Carleton Place. Our shop endeavors to source locally, offer classic French gastronomical items, and traditional treats that remind you of home.
Enjoy the aroma of fresh-baked treats and pastries daily (scones, brownies, cookies, cakes & tartes by the slice) and find Macarons, Madeleines, Canelés, Profiteroles, depending on the day!
Classical specialty items, including Fraisier, St. Honoré, Black Forest, and Mousse Cakes (among others), can be custom ordered for your special event. We also create custom cakes/cupcakes for birthdays, weddings, and all your special events, When you visit us, you will find a selection of gluten-free*, vegan*, & keto* treats in our front pastry display. *While we are very careful during preparation, we are not a gluten-free or nut-free facility, and there may be a possibility of cross contamination.
Visit our online to see a list of our breakfast and/or lunch sandwiches, our specials, and our meals to go. Our “Morning Sammy” (and a locally roasted Equator coffee), is a delicious way to start your day; a house-made honey thyme bun, cream cheese, cheddar, egg, & bacon, topped off with lemon-thyme aioli.
