Makes for a delicious, sweet, chocolatey and moist donut. Perfect size as they're mini sized but great sweetness. We also tried the chocolate covered biscuit. The chocolate shell is nice but the best part is the moist cookies inside. It's like a super moist gingerbread cookie on the inside and covered with chocolate on the outside. Definitely would try items from this bakery again!

They are always stale. I bought several pastries for a visit with my friend and they were so stale we threw them. The next day I went back to the store and confronted them...the owner was really nasty. Several years have passed and I decided to give them one more chance! Well, guess what..I asked the sales girl if the pastries were fresh and she said yes (what else can she say as the owner was standing behind me). Well, I am very disappointed once again!!STALE!!!I will continue my business with SERANO!!!Always FRESH!!

Fresh large variety of pastries. We got the pistachio donut and it was divine. Thick donut with a pistachio cream/glaze and topped with real pistachios.

But the standout for me was the Pastel de Nata. It has a wonderfully creamy custard, a beautifully baked caramelized top, and crisp, flaky tart edges that really bring it together. It is so dangerously good, which is very darn easy to keep eating. I enjoyed it a lot and will definitely be back soon!

Very solid 4* rating!…read more Not sure why it took me a decade to check this place out, after a recommendation from an older European lady had recommended this place to me. It's definitely a "hidden" gem, tucked around the corner from Kipling Stn, in a really industrial area. Think a bunch of auto body and other older looking, unkempt buildings with cars parked out in front. There's parking in front of the bakery café and you hafta climb up a flight of stairs to go in. Not really accessible for older or customers with disabilities. When I arrived, the chairs were already on top of the tables. And after checking the hours of operation, they're only opened 'til 5pm, including Saturdays. They sell whole and cakes, pastries, but the slice/piece. Prices aren't posted, but it was just under $10 for 2 pieces that I got. When I arrived, near closing, they had B1G1 free on their tiramisu, so I saw that as a sign. They were delicious and still tasted free, not too sweet! (I took a pic of their price list and it seems very reasonable!) Judging on what they offer and what I've read, they have Austrian/German roots. Lady who helped me could've been friendlier/enthusiastic, but again, it was the end of the day. So I'm not going to hold that against her. I'd definitely check it out again...but it would hafta be during the day/Saturday!

What a lovely little cafe, unexpectedly in the middle of an industrial part of Toronto!…read more I dropped in for an espresso and a treat while I was getting my car serviced. It was 3:30 pm, so the cafe was empty. The selection is beautiful and they make everything fresh. I chatted with one of the owners (maybe?) and she talked about some of their specialties and special orders. She served me at a table even though I was only getting a small snack. I'll definitely come by again, and next year I'm ordering one of those German fruit cakes. :)

Their breads are just so flavorful. You can see them make the bread fresh behind the cafe. Treats were also great. Not to sweet, lots of options so you can get a bunch to sample.

I've heard folks talk highly of Forno Cultura so when we walked by on a Saturday afternoon, we had…read moreto try their sandwiches. Overall, it was .. okay. The store was busy when we came around noon and while not the largest, they had some really interesting goodies for sale. I was really tempted to buy some jams and various pickled foods while in line but the two of us ultimately came for the sandwiches. We had the Mortadella and Cotto sandwiches followed by a Cannoli. First bites - the bread was a little tough and while it looked pretty good, our reactions again were like - okay. Not bad but nothing notably outstanding, and I kinda wish there was more filling for the price we paid ($18 per sandwich). The cannoli was very flakey - I think my favourite part of the meal was actually the fresh juice we purchased with the meal. I appreciate how they warmed it up for us to go and sit outside in the sun on benches they have right outside the store. The staff were quick and managed the line very smoothly. I think it was nice to try but feels like there are a number of other options I'd recommend first for the same price of sandwich around Toronto.

I liked how this wasn't overly puffy so was almost like a pizza. - Chicken Salad Sandwich: A bit too light on the chicken but loved the toasted bread. - Nutella Latte and Flat White: Pretty standard. Interior has that typical loungey vibe juxtaposed with a bustling counter. Great outdoor patio seating. Prices are reasonable. Staff is super welcoming and helpful. While the bakery will always be my and my sweet tooth's first stop, this is a good cafe to visit if you're in the area.

I know you can get the typical sandwich or omelette for breakfast, but we're all home, so why not try something different. I don't know ANYONE who doesn't like sweet eggy Portuguese egg tarts. You can't just order one. Another fav is their patties. I've tried them all - chicken, shrimp and beef, yummy meat in fried dough, you can't go wrong. Codfish roll is also quite good mixed and fried with potatoey goodness. I would only suggest gently microwaving them up a bit as they can get cold and a bit sad if they happen to deliver cold to you. So much to try!

A bit on the pricy side in my opinion given what I ordered. I got an almond croissant and green tea that set me back $12. Nothing special about the tea (teabag + hot water), and the croissant was okay, not bad but also not the best I've had. The place was clean and both bakery and counter staff were busy. Not much seating available in the winter, so if you plan on going to meet someone, might be good to plan for someone to get there a bit early to grab a seat-- I believe there's a patio in the summer. The vibe is chill, I saw people out on solo dates and catching up with friends.
