This is my second time coming to this bakery. It's alright, it's close by and the staff are so nice. Their donut was very filling and tasty! I liked their croissant but I think if they heated it up before serving, that'd ascend it to the next level. It could also be crisper. I'd like more savoury flavours. The bakery itself is small and I've seen lots of people come in for their breads. It's a very cozy vibe and cute! A good spot to get a quick treat as you're enjoying the walk down main street. read more

Calabria Bakery (Markham location) is an Italian specialty grocery, restaurant and cafe located in Sherwood Plaza on Highway 7 . There's another location in Scarborough on Midland Ave. south of Ellesmere. While I jumped in for some cookies and a cappuccino, I was browsing their freezer section which was teeming with my weakness - frozen lasagna! It came in large family size trays or smaller trays. Their Italian Hot Table is well known. Popular hot plate items are lasagna, chicken or veal cutlets, stuffed chicken breast, eggplant lasagna, pasta, meatballs, vegetable side dishes, arancini di riso (rice balls). The bakery has fresh breads and delicious pizza. For sweets they have cookies, cannoli, sfogliatelle, tiramisu and pastries, and for drinks they offer espresso, lattes, and cappuccinos. They're open daily from 8 am to 5 pm, and closed on Sundays. They do catering for parties and special events. read more

I have been going here for over 20 years (since old location). It's my favourite place to eat. The veal sandwich is great as well love the penne pasta, meatballs and stuffed peppers. All staff are super friendly. Reminds me of when Markham was much smaller town. read more

Bread, coffee, hot table and coffee is where it's at!!! As my palate matured to more savoury items this is where Calabria stands out! Fresh bread, a delicious cappuccino, a fabulous hot table and fresh pizzas!! I'm so happy to have family run businesses like this in our city! Great service, great bread . read more

Calabria Bakery always the place to go when I want to get some home made Italian food, bread or pastries when I am in the area. They used to located right at the corner of McCowan and Hwy 7 and now they moved further East closer to Markham Road. The new location is a little smaller.... but they did a great job in bring some of the decor and the atmosphere from the previous location. Cappuccino ($3.50) is on the milky side compare to what I prefer but not bad. It was a nice place to hang out with your friends on a Sunny afternoon....... or maybe grab a quick lunch or a loaf of Ciabatta? Btw, this location doesn't bake their bread on site.... but have them shipped from the location in Scarborough. read more

This place is great! I stop in here when I have to take care of business at Service Ontario. The moment you walk in, a wonderful smell greets you at the door. Their display of desserts and baked goods is such a tease. Everything looks SO delicious that it's dangerous to go there on an empty stomach! Donuts, croissants, cannoli, cupcakes... Nothing was disappointing (and yes, I tried them all). They have a hot table area as well which I have yet to try, and believe me - I will! The service was excellent - friendly, smiling faces behind the counter make it all the more inviting. The space is small and cozy, and there are tables to eat at or have a coffee. This place is a hidden gem, and almost makes it worth having to wait in line at Service ON so that you can treat yourself afterwards! read more

It was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was inviting, with tasteful decor and a warm ambiance. The staff was friendly and attentive, providing excellent service . the food - it was a gastronomic delight! Each dish was meticulously crafted, showcasing a perfect balance of flavors and creative presentation. read more

Very helpful and straight to the point service that helped me immensely when I required their catering service. I was held with the responsibility to order on behalf of 21 people for a work luncheon. The general consensus was we want Italian. I looked it up and it seemed as Calabria had very fair prices for quality products. The food was delicious and the lady on the phone who helped me order was honest- which is rare. As most people who find out this is catering for a catering even drive up the price. She understood that in a work environment there are people with different pallets and restrictions and suggested that the bacon bits be on the side. She advised they don't have hot sauce but to have grilled peppers would do the job. She advised that I should order a day before and when I went to pick up the items. My order was packed and ready to go. We all loved the eggplant parmigiana lasagna and the chicken cutlets. The vegetarians were a little skeptic to try out the Arincini I ordered for them but they loved it after. Overall the food was absolutely delicious and everyone was very satisfied. Sorry for the non creative review on their catering. However- I am full and mellow at the moment. read more

Amazing place!. I've been coming to Calabrian bakery since I was a kid. I love their olive oil and hot table.

Calabria is a true "tavola calda", certainly a gem for simple but good Italian food. Located in a plaza, Calabria offers hot Italian dishes served cafeteria style, baked goods and pastries, espresso drinks, and wood-oven pizzas. I have been there many times as it is quite convenient to pick up some dinner on my way home. My favourite is the meat lasagna: layers and layers of perfectly cooked noodles, meat, sauce, and cheese perfection! Also, Calabria is a great location to find those delicious speciality panettone around Christmas time. This place is a MUST try!!! read more

Nice little Italian bakery in Markham. One of my favorites to go to for cookies . A slice of their lasagna is really filling and hit the spot. Very simple with meat sauce. They do bake and cook full meals to order which you can look online and place an order or do in person. Fresh bread goes fast so get it while it's there! Along with that they serve coffee, espresso, pop, water. read more

Had a Groupon for this place, so stopped by for lunch with my sister on a weekday back in June. We weren't super hungry so we got an Eggplant Lasagna ($6.50), a Meatball ($2.00), an Arancini ($2.99), and an Apple Turnover ($1.75) to share so we could try a little bit of everything. The eggplant lasagna was sooo good. My sister and I both loved it and couldn't get enough! It was like many thin layers of eggplant parmesan stacked on topped of each other. The eggplant was so meaty in texture I didn't even remember it was meatless. It was also surprisingly filling too, which I didn't expected. We liked it so much, we went home and looked up recipes to try to recreate it, but it was too much work. Next time we'll just come back to get it instead! The apple turnover was very flaky and not overly sweet. The meatball and arancini were both good, but I've had better elsewhere. This seems like a cute little place. They have a few tables at this little shop for eating in. The hot tables items makes for a quick, cheap lunch. I'll definitely be back for more of the eggplant lasagna and to try some other items as well! read more

Love this place. Got a salted caramel ice cream and also a strawberry ice cream. $5 each for small. They ran out of small cups so they filled the large cup only half way. But the lovely lady didn't just stop half way. She filled it almost all the way up. I felt like I was eating a large ice cream. I loved the salted caramel flavour. It actually tasted like the name suggested. Also got a vanilla meringue and a slice of chocolate cake. The meringue was nice and light and airy. Very yummy. The cake while looked very good tasted only okay. There were a few seats inside but it was packed. Good thing they had one table outside so we opted for that. Service was excellent and friendly. read more

It's always best to have a great food and talk about Australia with the owner here . best food and pastry in the region. definitely recommended and simply their chicken Parma is the best ! read more

Love love love Calabria Bakery! They have amazing croissants (go first thing in the morning to get them still warm!) and of course the pastries are to die for. I have yet to try their lunch menu, as I'm never close by during that time. Friendly service and wonderful café lattes, too! read more

Turnover is really really fresh .very good coffee. Fresh pizza must try. Friendly service read more

I don't really go out the way for making reviews however, I stumbled by this bakery as I saw an open sign during this chaotic time of Covid 19. I've been a York Regioner over half my life and I don't know why I've never been here. Firstly, I came here yesterday for a chicken sandwich and it was pretty decent. Today, I came by AGAIN as I had an urge for pasta. I came by to try their lasagna and it was delicious!!! I found an Italian bakery that's much closer than heading into the congestive city and found my new haven for wonderfully cooked meals not to mention their desserts. Def gonna give their pizza a try next time... read more

Calabria Bakery - a cup of coffee on a saucer - Bakeries Near Me - Markham, Ontario

i ordered a lasagna with a side of mixed veggies and had a lime drank to quench my thirst. i liked the mushrooms the most out of the veggies. the lasagna was excellent. lots of layers. saucy and soft. sometimes you get lasagna and there is cheese that's been melted on top but then it hardens and a kinda gross cheese layer on top. you don't get that here. you can cut through it easily from top to bottom with just a fork. it was quite filling and for those who have a sweet tooth, you can get some baked goods/pastries or gelato. i'm sure i'll be back to try those some time. read more

Calabria Bakery - Lasagna and mixed veggies. - Bakeries Near Me - Markham, Ontario

My favourite thing to get is the lasagna with a sprite. It is SO good, and they give you a pretty big serving, too. I used to walk there all the time for lunch. I've tried the desserts once too and they were good, but ultimately I think their greatest strength is the lasagna and I'd stick to that or pizza. read more

I first visited Calabria one day to see the types of bread they had. The bakery impresses with its inviting atmosphere inside, a contradiction to its' bland strip mall exterior. There isn't a lot of selection for bread, but I bought the Calabrese loaf and can attest to its deliciousness. Nice crust on it, great for garlic bread on the barbecue. I wanted to try their freshly prepared food, but it was 9 in the morning and I vowed to come back. When I returned I picked up more bread and got a breaded veal sandwich with peppers, mushrooms and onions in tomato sauce on a crusty bun. It was a) massive, about the size of my face, b) reasonably priced at $10, and c) served with a cup of Italian roast coffee. Oh and it was so delicious I didn't talk to my lunchmate, who didn't speak because she was also enjoying a sandwich. We grabbed a peach - almond tart and a plum tart to cap it off. My understanding is that Calabria has been open for 30 years. There are two locations, and the business is family owned and run. I'll be going back and I would say it's one worth checking out! read more

Very good hot table food (not self-serve). Great prices. Best cannoli in Markham!! Often go for lunch and definitely a must if you're looking for a great dessert for guests! read more

Staffs are really friendly and foods are delicious. Great atmosphere with a lot of interesting decoration. Keep in mind that there is a little change in the menu everyday. Some food maybe sold-out if you walk in late. read more

They over priced an order without letting me know ahead of time I ordered the same for $25 and a few months later charged me $45 for the same. I called hoping they confess to a mestake but confirming they have discussed it and it was the right price Social media sucks for you. Discusted customer. Will never buy food there again. read more

We've been going to Calabria forever - 20 years maybe? The pizza is made-to-order and there are fresh pastries every day. The lasagne is the best. The service is wonderful, they get to know their customers by name and it's a nice place to go even just for a quick coffee. (BY THE WAY I just saw the review from the lady with the dog - I have to say I wouldn't expect the owners to allow pets inside... even in a carrier. If heat's a concern, why not leave your pet at home? I have a dog and I've never brought him to a restaurant expecting him to be allowed in.) read more

We have been going to this bakery for a very long time and it never disappoints. When we eat breakfast, we usually order the croissant, the chocolate donut, and the cannoli. The croissant is always crispy and buttery. The donut is always soft, and if it is fresh, the chocolate is not completely dried, leaving it nice and sticky. The cannoli crust is crunchy, unlike the cannoli at Cannoli Queens. The ricotta or cream filling is nothing special, just average. For lunch we order the lasagna. The tomato sauce is really good and the layers have just the right texture. The meat, however, is a bit bland. Service is friendly, but the bathrooms are a bit on the dirty side. Despite this, I encourage everyone to try this place. read more

Coffee & food is ok. Human decency? Zero. My mother, 8-month son and our dog was outside in the patio area waiting for me as I lined up behind a very long Service Ontario line. I made sure to purchase 2 drinks so they could have a seat outside. It was very hot out today/30degrees, so I asked if they could come inside with our dog who was quietly secured inside his travel bag and I was told no because of food contamination. There was no reason for this concern as he was inside the bag and not even barking. Some ppl are just horrible n have no empathy. read more

I was looking for a place nearby that sold pumpkin pie by the slice and happened to hear about this bakery. To my surprise it was so close to us! It's a nice little place which seems to place a lot of quality in their food. The first bite of the pumpkin pie tart was unforgettable! The price was amazing for the quantity and quality of it. The decor feels very homely and they have done an amazing job with the halloween theme! I definitely want to come back and try a meal here. read more

Calabria Bakery - Pumpkin Pie Tart - Bakeries Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Not what they used to be. .. and no consistency... I bought arancini recently. .. omg it was really disappointingly old and gross.... gelato tasted like freezer burn... ill take the trip to francesca bakery read more

Nothing was available! Don't be misled by their website/menu items. Their hot foods and bread shelves were pretty must cleaned out both times I was there! Zero pastries and desserts. Why have a menu at all if 95% of the posted stuff isn't there? I have tried there both in the late morning and in the afternoon, so the time of day could not have been the cause. The PLAIN bread that I managed to find turned out to be extremely HARD and SALTY. I can't figure how plain bread could be salty, however the last piece of Veal that I picked up tasted pleasant. Still, It was a waste of effort and gas to even drive there since nothing else was available. So frustrating, never coming back. read more
