| - A wonderful bakery in the Erin Mills area! If you're driving by, you won't see it from Eglinton Avenue. It's tucked in the inner portion of the plazas behind the Boston Pizza and Axia, located just across from Sunset Grill and adjacent to National Sports ( and just west of the Loblaws at Eglinton Ave and Glen Erin Ave).
Great selection of pastries, breads, and cookies. I've only ever dropped by for pastries, but it looks like they also have a small hot table, a hot drinks menu, and a small selection of groceries to choose from. Service is sweet and friendly (but a little disorganized - it looks like they get a bit overwhelmed when it gets busy), but otherwise, tables are clean, the store is spacious, lots of pastries and cakes to choose from, and overall, visiting is a pleasant experience.
I wasn't a fan of the Almond Tarts (too much stuffing, minimal flavour, and tasted suspiciously artificial), but their Portuguese Custard Tarts were decent (at $1.25 each for all tarts) - a little denser and sweeter than I expected (and the crust isn't very crispy), but while average, it was still pretty good (not the best in Mississauga, but still fine nonetheless). Will be dropping again by for some cannoli's sometime soon!
For four tarts, I paid $5.65.
