Patisserie la Cigogne, a favorite of South Bayviewites for many years, is expanding to open a second shop at 1419 Danforth east of Greenwood Ave The excellent pastry place was opened at 1628 South Bayview by Thierry Schmitt in 2003. There’s an explanation for the name — the Stork Pastry Shop (in ugly English). The stork is symbolic of Alsation culture and is used to decorate many of the patisserie’s creations. The opening is planned for about two weeks from now. Things have been delayed apparently by the difficulty of shipping refrigerated cabinets from France.
