French Pastry & Chocolaterie

What is Cho-Kwok-Lat? Master chocolatier Chris Kwok expanded his award-winning Markham brand downtown with this sleek boutique patisserie at 79 Wellesley Street East in Church-Wellesley Village. The bright, minimalist space spotlights rows of intricate entremets and sculpted pastries arranged like fine jewellery behind pristine glass counters. Seating is limited and casual, providing a clean, quiet corner for an espresso and a pastry stop.

Cho-Kwok-Lat Menu & What to Order Kwok’s menu unites classic French pastry methods with vibrant Asian ingredients and premium single-origin cacao. Standouts include the velvety Mocha Pillow, the flaky Crème Brûlée Cruffin, and the striking Black Sesame Strawberry Cake. Savoury selections like the beef Polish sausage danish and mushroom-brie pastry offer great contrast, complemented by organic coffee, specialty teas, and a thoughtful rotation of gluten-free entremets.

Know Before You Go Cho-Kwok-Lat operates on a walk-in, counter-service model with no reservations. The most popular signature entremets and weekend viennoiserie batches sell out quickly, so arrive before early afternoon for the fullest display. The shop sits less than a two-minute walk east of Wellesley subway station, making transit the easiest way to visit.
