A fixture of The Rocks since 1992, when you’ve need a celebration cake or croquembouche, La Ren is at the ready. Layered with white chocolate and coffee whipped ganache, the opera cake is an all-timer, but no one is ever upset when you bring its gold-standard Saint Honore to a party either. Meanwhile, the shaded courtyard is a top spot for a quick sausage roll and eclair.
Good to know: If you need to pick up a pre-ordered cake, La Ren’s Waterloo location tends to be much easier for parking.
