Bomou

Bomou is the Leaside viennoiserie shop that actually tastes like a French butter bakery: 1636 Bayview Avenue, with a second in-store-only counter at 1075 Yonge in Rosedale. Official site bomou.ca frames it as handmade viennoiserie, naturally leavened bread, and seasonal pastry, using French butter, local eggs, Ontario dairy, and Canadian flour. The location block posts store hours Monday–Sunday 7:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m.; the shipping policy separately says online pickup at Bayview is 9:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. Use 7–7 for a walk-in, and 9–6 if you placed an order online. A phone number is not posted on the official site. First-timers: this is a croissant stop. Double-baked croissant if they have it, plain butter croissant if you want the test, baguette if you are leaving with dinner. Bayview is the atelier; Rosedale is a smaller buy-and-go. Morning is the point — they open at 7, and the interesting pastry does not survive a 2 p.m. errand.
