Inside, the take out bakery has a large selection of baked goods that I would consider to be standards in the area. They also have mini baklavas with different nuts so you can try them all! My favourite pastries were the custard creams in the triangular form (don't remember the name). They were crispy phyllo pastries with custard in them, but still didnt make them soggy! Next were the mini baklavas with pistachio, walnuts and cashews all of them were great but the diamond shaped ones (walnuts?) were my favourite! A bit far from my usual spots, but if I were ever in the area, I would definetly come back to have some more! Maybe even visit the market beside it as well.

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. Service is quick and there is even a small dine in area. Outside they have a lovely Terrance area for people to sip their coffee and enjoy the pastries.

I went to Lazar Bakery in Mississauga to try their famous treats, and it was worth it…read more They have a great variety, including cakes, cookies, puddings, cheeses, and other dairy products. 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!

Flakey and tasty just the way I like it. The entire shop had a lot to offer, from cannolis, to cakes, to pizzas, and more. I really wanted to try all their other items, but unfortunately since it was early in the morning, I didn't have much of an appetite. Can't wait to come back and try their pizzas, pastas, and cannoli!

Parking is along the side street so definitely convenient if you get a good spot. I got pizza and some bomboloni that they told me they can fill it with whatever cream I wanted!! Bonus!! Overall. Pizza was made well. Good ingredients and bomboloni was good too.

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 used to live in this area and was surprised to see this new place; a much welcome and needed pastry shop/cafe !) We had the breakfast sandwich, which was so scrumptious and savoury; very unique delicate flavours. We also had cheddar chive biscuit, which was also so subtly delicious - love the infused taste. The coffee drinks were also delicious, especially the mocha one. I would definitely swing by here whenever i'm in the area! Interested in trying all their other variety of items!

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!

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. :)
