Roselle Desserts

What is Roselle Desserts? Run by pastry chefs Stephanie Duong and Bruce Lee, this Corktown shop at 362 King Street East channels Michelin-pedigree precision into playful, exacting French patisserie. The minimalist space functions strictly as a grab-and-go counter and pickup window, with no indoor seating or patio tables. Everything in the glass case revolves around meticulous pastry technique, balanced sweetness, and hyper-seasonal Ontario produce.

Roselle Desserts Menu & What to Order The counter is anchored by cult favorites like the banana cream pie éclair, packed with caramelized bananas and vanilla diplomat cream, alongside featherlight seasonal pavlovas and crisp mille-feuille. In warm weather, the Earl Grey soft serve—steeped with loose-leaf tea and topped with lemon cream and crispy white chocolate pearls—is mandatory. Round out your haul with a bag of caramelized white chocolate shortbread or a portable cake cup, but always prioritize whatever seasonal fruit tart or piped éclair is loaded in the case that day.

Know Before You Go Roselle operates on a weekend-only schedule (Friday evenings and Saturday-Sunday afternoons), so never show up midweek. There is no dine-in seating and the shop is entirely cashless; the queue along King East moves fast, though whole-cake pre-orders through their app require prompt pickup during operating hours. Street parking is sparse around King and Parliament, making the 504 King streetcar your most convenient transit option.
