I have to say it ... "This place is the bomb!"
Or should I have said, it's the bombe!
3 of us went in a few weekends ago. I had wanted to try sooner based on all the reviews here, but they were closed till September 30 this summer. In the meantime, they were monitoring their FB Messenger to respond to inquiries, which I have to say is a great plus for customer service. They were even taking orders that could be picked up on their re-opening day - but I wanted to go for the sit in experience, and so we waited, and did.
We went on foot, but I will say that Kris U. is giving a good tip when he says to go through the TD parking entrance off Hwy 7. I remember passing by along Pine Valley and not even being able to see the place, let alone get in very easily that way. Very easy to miss if you don't know exactly where you're getting.
Yes, it's a lot like any other Italian bakery in Woodbridge - soccer memorabilia, soccer game on the TV, not a huge eating area, but about 8 or so tables that are not only pretty comfortable but also modish - it makes me think this must be how modern cafes in Italy are decorated these days. SOOOOO clean!!! The decor also includes Vespa memorabilia along with the photos of Rome and Italy.
The bombe were delicious, and so were the lattes and cappuccino we ordered with them. For the 3 bombe (I think they were large size, but honestly can't remember, I must have inhaled it even more quickly than I thought) and 2 lattes and the cappuccino, we did need a little more than the $20 I had in hand, but not much more. (They only take cash, so I'm glad other reviews here mentioned this.) I imagine it's true that you should eat them day of, as the pastry is fluffy and delicate, and they are made only when you place the order. They come in about 12 different cream flavours. We tried coffee, and the peanut butter/chocolate. Both delicious and I can't wait to try the others. The coffees were also freshly ground to order, beautiful job on the milk. All the better to see the pretty layers in the latte glasses, which were the cleanest glasses I've ever seen in a cafe, along with the spotless cutlery and dishes.
They also arrange sweets trays and platters, so if you have somewhere to go and need to bring something, either an order of the bombes and/or one of the sweets trays are a great item to pick up and take wherever you're going.
They also make gelato, next on the hit list for my return ...
I'm so glad to have found this place with the help of other Yelpers. Amazing place to drop in to enjoy, and/or to pick up orders for freshly made, authentic Italian sweets. read more
