I think the majority of their business is fulfilling custom cake orders. At the time of my visit, they had a few different types of canollis that were priced around $2.50-3. So quite average in pricing. It was good. Tiramisu - $2.50 for a smallish slice. Although fresh, they used whipped cream. So that was a bit of a disappointment. Sadly, not many bakeries use the real deal anymore. I prefer the tiramisu at Sweet Paradise. Just ok for me.

Alright, here we go, I think:…read more After pondering the word to write in order to even just possibly scratch the surface of what outrageously delicious (vegan) cookies made by Marci, I still find myself utterly (no milk=no pun!) speechless with the whatever taste-gasm prevails even at just the very thought of being able to enjoy another (which'll indeed be sooner rather than later). I had a bit of a variety pack with gingerbread, fruit explosions, &, of course, the favoured traditional chocolate-chip & although call me old-fashioned with the latter being my absolutely favourite, I honestly didn't realize there was a possibility of some kind of other cookie making me actually think about the delectable choice I'm about to embark upon. SO fresh & with a very reasonable "shelf-life" especially for being vegan - although I am unable to confirm specifically with Marci's cookies if freezing them to hold in their precious structure & taste (usually by day 4-5), I would assume they'll do that job just as well (again, you probably won't be concerned about "shelf-life" as now knowing what this bakery is all-about, I'd definitely be more concerned about getting them home to said shelf (or Cookie Monster cookie jar. I hope this is going to help you decide when picking out a bakery for cookies especially this holiday season (& thereafter). She's obviously a real pro in knowing/understanding what flours &/or binding agents are superior to all that is out there, but I'm sure whatever combination does get used, it's going to have to remain Marci's secret. Thank-you Marci; Please do continue to make me salivate. PS, are you going to be hiring tasters anytime sooner rather than later - I'm already in the vehicle waiting to go here...

Sweet Paradise = part Italian grocery store/bakery! Complete with a hot/prepared food section…read more I wasn't sure about this place 'cause there weren't that many reviews and the existing ones are dated, but totally 5*! I got 3 bakery items: Tiramisu, Sicilian Cannoli, & a Peanut butter/Chocolate Cheesecake and all 3 of them were super fresh! Tiramisu was like homemade! Light and fluffy, not overly sweet. And I was able to taste the coffee liquor. Marscapone/cheese filling was LEGIT, not that cheap, canned whipping cream! Cannoli shell was still crispy. Again, filling was nice, light, and not too sweet. Pb/Choco Cheesecake was a bit richer, but still moist and not dried out from the fridge. Gf got a Cream Horn (flaky pastry shell) and she said it was nice and fresh as well. I usually avoid this pastry like the plague because it's usually stale AF. I'd *definitely* go back especially for the tiramisu (which not many ppl get right) and the cannoli!!!

I thought my GPS was leading me astray - again! - when it took me through a downtown-y residential area with older, two-storey houses. However, when I saw the pack of cars parked on the side of the street, I knew something good MUST be around. :) As you enter, there's a counter with breads behind it and cash register. And on the other side, is where some magical stuff happens, i.e. the hot table. I hesitate even writing this here, but the prices are AH-MAZING. Chicken Parm sandwich sm for $5, lg for $6?? AND since they ran out of large buns, they gave me 2 smaller ones for $6?? WHA...I'm not good at math, but isn't that like B1G1! I really hope that the owners can't decode my shorthand. Anyway, I didn't even explore the back room and that's where, apparently have cold cut sandwiches...which are also supposed to be good. Sandwich comes on one of the buns they bake on-site, your choice of spicy or mild tomato-based sauces, fried onions, and like 2 pieces of nicely seasoned Chicken parmesan. So delicious that you don't care if you're outside, sitting on the curb, eating it with sauce and onions dripping all over your shirt. Looking like a complete schlameel. Check this place out! P.S. SHHH...and don't tell too many people about it.

As a family owned Portuguese bakery, they serve their signature sub-sandwiches: turkey, Black Forest ham, prosciutto, veggie, all but the kitchen sink. Not only are their buns freshly baked in house - they taste amazing and most sandwiches are only $3. What a deal! They also serve other lunchtime dishes like lasagna and soup but their sandwiches are to kill for - think Black Friday or Boxing Day frenzy. It's that good. They also have freshly baked goodies but it's first come first serve. Come with a few bucks and leave with a huge lunch. Pro tip: the Black Forest ham sandwich is superb.
