| - Celena's is a bakery, and when I think of bakery, I think of the french word for it - boulangerie. In French there is a separate word for patisserie, and Celena's definitely falls more into the boulangerie category. They are very fairly priced and their baked breads are so good. Equally good are their cookies. Their chocolate cake cookie (yes, chocolate cake MIXED INTO a cookie), is so amazing I dream about it sometimes, and I'm not that big of a cookie fan.
I have ordered a cake from them for my son's birthday and the decoration of the cake was so-so as I didn't require too much, but wasn't too pleased that I paid $5 extra for something that was so basically decorated, I could have almost done it myself. The cake is dense, moist and sweet. As my mother-in-law stated, "It tastes like a homemade cake".
Soups are homemade and I quite enjoy them. The sandwiches are fair. Their pies also have a homemade quality to them, and are priced right for what they are. Coffees are okay, but not a place where I'd really order something fancy.
All in all, a great asset to our neighbourhood and I hope they never leave!!
To the poster who said their butter tart was disgusting, I've read that there are two types of butter tarts, the dense thick filling, and the gooey inside. Theirs falls into the latter category.
