We've been visiting The Apricot Tree for many years, so I figured it was about time for a review.

First and foremost, this restaurant is wonderful for desserts as it's owned by a pastry chef. The desserts are mostly European-style such as strudels, Napoleons, etc.. They are always beautifully presented with a sauce or coulis and dusted with icing sugar or cocoa. I don't eat a lot of dessert,... more

We've been regulars at the Apricot Tree for ages, for both dinner and dessert. The schnitzel is my favourite dish there, though sometimes I'll get one of the specials (usually when they have duck or veal). All of the desserts I've had there have been delicious, my favourite being the dobos torte. However since this is apparently a difficult dessert to make, it's unusual that they have it.

Small, friendly cafe providing great service. Food and dessert is on point, however the coffee is subpar in my opinion. They also don't have the greatest variety/quality of speciality drinks.

Ordered a hot chocolate, hazelnut coffee and warm hazelnut cake. All three were mediocre to poor. The hot chocolate was watery, the luke warm coffee turned cold after 5mins and the cake arrived not looking like a cake but a strange hybrid of a molten lava cake and a brownie.... It was splattered with chocolate and vanilla syrup and strawberries. The bottom was already soggy from the chocolate... more

Came here for brunch for my cousin's bachelorette party. There were about 15 of us sitting out on the patio. When is started to lightly drizzle, they offered us a table inside. I know how annoying it must've been to move a large group around, so I appreciated that! Service was really pleasant and friendly throughout.

I was really happy with my food and drink as well. I really wanted a crêpe,... more

Chicken pineapple curry is a must try, drink, main and desert get them all. The portions are smaller than average but it okay when there so many favors you want to try!

Always a great food experience. Family has been coming here for dinner, special occasions and lunches for years. Food is amazing and prices are very reasonable for the quality. A true gem in a land filled with chain restaurants. The decor perhaps needs updating and the service can be a bit slow at times but always very friendly. Definitely try this place out!

I'll literally never be back to this place. Staff is very confused at all times. Don't know up from down. The food is whatever I used to go cus it's been a staple place in the neighborhood, but the food isn't extravagant.

Also they make it the most complicated thing on earth to get a lunch menu for you take out at any time, as if they're Doing some grand favor for making you a chicken... more

I've been coming here since I was a little girl. This restaurant has a special charm to it. It may be the quality of food, the friendly service, or the wide selection of desserts, and it always has me coming back.

My usual order is the shrimp and dill crepe. The portions are generous and the price is nothing but fair. What I also like as a small bonus is the bread served in the beginning not... more

Went here today and was incredibly disappointed by the lack of service. The food was good but unless you're the more mature retired clientele they will completely ignore you. We sat down for 8 minutes before we got fed up and had to ask for a menu. Figured out what we wanted and closed our menu and then had to wait for the waitress to pass by us three times before she realized we wanted to... more

This is my go-place for great food, delectable desserts made-from-scratch, and great service. It's tucked away in Sherwood Forest Village. It's quaint and I always get the pineapple curry crepes or schnitzel. I've tried everything on their menu and most of their cakes, strudels and roulades. Best restaurant in Mississauga!

Pumped up for nostalgia/being an independent restaurant in 'ssauga for over 25yrs/GREAT SERVICE!

The Apricot Tree is a staple in Mississauga. It is also my old stomping grounds as I went to high school nearby AND had a job in uni at the same plaza, so this would be a frequent stop throughout my life.

Everything from the bread for the pre-dinner service/sandwiches - soups - mains - desserts,... more

If you want to escape franchises that seem to be plaguing the restaurant landscape of suburbia (I'm looking at you Moxies, Jack Astors, Kelsey's, etc.), I'd recommend popping by The Apricot Tree on Dundas/Erin Mills Parkway.

If you can tolerate the kitschy ambiance, the food is quite good and moderately priced. It's always a safe bet to go with the soups of the day (as I think soups and salads... more

The food here is luxurious, and very good. The café had a very nice atmosphere, and I felt very warm and welcome. I love the plaza it's in, it feels as if you're in a movie, very clean and cute. We only came for dessert since we already had dinner elsewhere, so we ordered the Sorbet Platter (it had no alcohol, and I brought my young nephews), and I liked 2 out of the 3 ice creams they put on... more

Really great café vibe. Had a delicious salad and decided to indulge in a couple of deserts, it was hard to decide everything looked so good! The wait staff was phenomenal, making sure I had everything I needed quickly and professionally. Highly recommended for a quick meal or a family dinner.

This restaurant is wonderful place. Wonderful cousin, very good service, calm atmosphere, you feel like at home. I suqqest you to have dinner there)

I got takeout and when I arrived to pick it up I did not regret it. This place lacks the atmosphere I expected when I looked at their menu.
I had the braised short ribs which were fine. Pretty tender as a previous reviewer said but I've had much better in terms of flavour.
I got a slice of passion fruit mousse cake for dessert and it was extremely old and dried out... I literally could not eat... more

My boyfriend bought a chocolate cake for his brother's birthday two weeks ago. It tasted delicious, so we decided to go back for more and try out their dinner menu.

The server recommended the special 20th anniversary menu. We decided to give it a try since it is $34 + Tax for 3 courses, quite a decent deal. If you are looking for something unique to the taste bud, then no doubt this is the... more

This place has been a family favourite for years and we go there for almost every special occasion so the staff know us by now! Food is always outstanding and creative, especially the crepes! Both the dinner and dessert crepes are out of this world and during crepefest, they have an even bigger selection! Everything is made from scratch including the ice cream/gelato and kudos to the chef and... more

Apricot Tree Cafe has been in business for as long as I can remember and every experience I've had there has been a pleasant one. It's not very big inside so it helps when the weather is nice and they open up the patio area.

I ordered the chicken flat bread with a house salad on the side. The flat bread has chicken, tomato and cheese melted all over the flat bread. There was a lot of cheese... more

Thank you yelpers for helping me find this place.

What a lovely little cafe with great desserts. And from the looks of it a decent entree and even breakfast menu.

Its open till late evening and has patio seating too. We shared a crepe Denmark which was very light and tasty!

They have a great selection of drinks and coffees too! Will definitely be back! !

Nice cozy little place that my wife wanted to check out unfortunately service was super slow even though it was pretty much empty. By the time your food came you were starving, and by the time your drinks showed up, your buzz was gone.

I'm very glad to have found a nice crepe place in Mississauga. A number of people have told me about this place and I finally got to experience it for myself. This cafe is rather small (although if you go downstairs to use the washrooms, you'll be reminded of the TARDIS from doctor who - the place is much bigger on the lower floor than the upper floor!) and it fills up quickly. I had the... more

This is a great lunch spot in Mississauga. Everything is delicious, from the bread in the bread basket to the last bite of dessert. My favorite thing here is the signature apricot salad (one of the best salads I've ever had). The soups are also always good, as are the pastas, and crepes. Dessert here is a must! The raspberry white chocolate tart is beyond words.

We came here on the late sat night. This small cafe was packed with people having desserts.
The waitress is busy but very friendly.
We had the beef crepe, Wiener Schnitzel, and french onion soup. The crepe is excellent, light and fluffy. The sauce is a little too salty to my tasting.
Love the Wiener Schnitzel. The fried pork chop is tender and goes really well with the mushroom sauce.
We got a... more

Cutiesh little place, absolutely designed for kids. But not too big a crowds of these - it is quite "cozy" inside, and parking is tiny and packed, too.

Lots of girlie and kiddie food, not that much for adult, meat-eating guys. Quality of my plate was not exciting at all - though my wife said that her sweet stuff was good.

Service was neither excessively polite, nor too attentive - we were not... more

It's weird that this place has gotten such great reviews when in all honesty the 4 times I've been here I haven't liked any of my meals. 2 of the meals were sandwiches, and they were watery aka the bread was soggy. Old? Or just a lot of water/mayo?

This place is awesome. The first time I came here I went back the next day. Pretty much anything you order on the menu is delicious, especially the desserts. Service is friendly & professional. Definitely one of my favorite cafes in Missasauga!

First impression...homely. Second impression...busy!

Went here for dinner with friends on a Friday night and we were so surprised to see it packed! We waited for about 45 minutes for a table. Come early! And do not expect to be seated in a large group of people, it's far too small for that.

Don't order appetizers-they are far too small and far too expensive. We ordered the mussels thinking... more

We had 3of the crepes, they were great, all interesting tastes and looked great as well,
We just walked in they asked if we have a reservation :), we didnt expect it to be this full. It was saturday 4pm, i guess a busy time on a busy day.
After we told the waiter that we'll only have desert he looked less interested and took a while with everything, the tables where a bit croked :) other than... more

I've been going to the Apricot since I was a student at UTM. Why do I go? It's simple: the coffee and the ice cream. I'm not a fan of Austrian desserts (the owner is Austrian, I believe). The service has only ever been so-so and the Apricot Tree doesn't appear to be the cleanest establishment (dirty walls, gross floors and nasty washrooms). Still for some great coffee and a scoop or two, it'll do!

Nice little spot for lunch or a coffee/dessert.

I went today for lunch and had the Greek salad to start and the arctic char entree. The Greek salad had a raspberry vinegrette which was a little odd (I think it was just their regular mixed green salad topped with feta and olives) but it still tasted good. The arctic char was well cooked and tasted great. And this is coming from a guy that's not... more

One of my fave restaurants in Mississauga! All the locals know about this treasure.

I love coming here for breakfast, lunch, dinner AND desserts. Chef is Austrian and the desserts are authentic and so good!

ATMOSPHERE: Small little café restaurant. Very cosy, dimly lit. Good for tables of 2-8. Larger groups may be difficult to accommodate.

SERVICE: Staff are very professional. Overall... more

I heard such great reviews of this place so I thought I'd give it a shot.

I had the evening's special which was a basa fillet with rice and veggies. My husband had an item off of the menu which was the braised short ribs with mashed potatoes. We also both had french onion soups to start.

The soup was okay. I've had better at other places. I found it too salty. I wasn't sure what kind of... more

Based on numerous reviews online, we decided to give this place a try. The menu looked enticing, and the prices didn't look too bad.

The location of the café is quite cute and adorable, with foliage and vines surrounding the courtyard environment. Walking into the café, it was already pretty busy (as we arrived around 7pm or so) and dimly lit. Since there was only 1 table for 2 available that... more

Lovely little place, we went there last summer, food was amazing.
Sat outside, the bees were amazing and so friendly! A little hard to sit outside and get attacked by bees (what can you do about that we were too sweet!), but otherwise really cute little place, the food - yummy!
The stores in this plaza make you feel like you're somewhere in europe, really high end boutiques - a must visit!

Owned by an Austrian couple, the Apricot tree is a delight for any occasion and any time of the day. Infact, my family goes here ever Easter as a tradition. The food is fresh, meals exciting, flavours delicious and staff extremely attentive and friendly. Their desserts are to die for and all made in-house with fresh ingredients. I would recommend to try the white chocolate cake or the apple... more

Gourmet food, casual atmosphere, affordable prices. Love this place!!!

I have been going to The Apricot Tree regularly for the past 15 years, pretty much since it opened (back when it was in this tiny space and mostly served only desserts and coffee). It's located in a small, upscale shopping plaza in Mississauga's west end (Sherwood Forest).
They are famous for their desserts. To this day, they are my gold standard for tiramisu. Other favourites are the mango... more

So normally, I plan to write reviews shortly after I have visited a place. However, the Apricot Tree is such a hidden gem, I had to add my two cents right now.

The Apricot Tree is a quite ordinary looking cafe that is pretty basic on the decor. It has a limited menu when it comes to main courses and beverages. However, the food is amazing, the service is solid, the prices are reasonable and as... more
