What Delysees does

Delysees is a Toronto-based luxury dessert bar and modern French pastry retailer founded in 2013 by Fred Naggar, a Parisian-born entrepreneur whose prior career was spent building premium fashion brands (Rock & Republic, William Rast, Citizens of Humanity, Ed Hardy). The company produces handcrafted pastries daily from scratch and sells individual cakes, medium "Petit Gateau" cakes (4-serving), large celebration cakes (8–12 serving), macarons, eclairs, and curated box sets. Signature flavors include Rocher Hazelnut, Hugo Pistachio, Fraisier Strawberry, Élysées Nutella Tiramisu, and Verdi Cheesecake, with gluten-free and vegan options in the lineup. The product surface also includes celebration add-ons (toppers, premium candles) and a sub-brand experiential concept called JARDIN NOIR.

The business operates a hybrid D2C plus B2B model. Retail distribution runs through luxury boutique storefronts in Toronto (Yorkdale Shopping Centre and Ossington Avenue, with the Yorkville boutique closed), Montréal (Royalmount), and Ottawa (Lansdowne / The Glebe), with a Vancouver boutique announced as opening soon. Direct-to-consumer revenue is generated via an owned e-commerce storefront offering in-store pickup and delivery (C$39 minimum order), dine-in service at boutique locations, and on-demand delivery through UberEats. B2B revenue is generated through corporate catering, custom cake requests, event-planner services, and wholesale pastry supply to hotels, restaurants, and cafes. Pricing is unit-based for both retail pastry and JARDIN NOIR's C$85-per-guest experiential offerings. Customer acquisition runs primarily through organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X, TikTok) plus an email newsletter, with UberEats serving as a bottom-of-funnel marketplace channel. The company is privately held by founder Fred Naggar, with 11–50 employees and no disclosed institutional funding.
