This bakery is located in a plaza with plenty of parking. I had no problem finding a parking spot coming from work. Sadly, all the Portuguese egg tarts (natas) were sold out when I had arrived at 5:30 pm. However, I did manage to get a pistachio loaf that looked yummy and ended up taking it home. I have had the following items at this place: - Iced latte - Portuguese vanilla custard-filled donut - Ham and cheese croissant My iced latte was awesome. The woman at the counter asked whether I wanted sugar. I declined it, which made this drink perfect. It was cold. The coffee was smooth. It had the perfect amount of milk. I loved it. My vanilla custard-filled donut came out next. It was cut in half, so I admired all the custard in it. It had sugar around it that was the only sweetness that I got from it. The custard had a mild vanilla flavour and had little sugar, which I appreciated. The donut was more on the egg side of things. If you don't like that eggy taste, it may not be for you. I personally loved how different it was compared to regular overly sweet donuts. My ham and cheese croissant had arrived. When you order a croissant warmed up, it gets pressed in a panini machine. It was different, but it worked. There was a single slice of ham and another slice of cheese in this croissant. It was yummy, but I was yearning for more filling. The croissant had a different type of flakiness when it was pressed to death. I used the washroom before I headed home. Staff here were constantly cleaning tables, chairs, and the washrooms during my visit. The women's washroom is a single stall and it was super clean. My pistachio loaf came up to $8. I paid with a debit card. I tipped and tapped. Done! There are nuts on top of the pistachio loaf, but not in the loaf itself. The loaf was closer to a pound cake, but without a whole lot of moisture. It also had a hint of vanilla or some other extract in it. It wasn't sweet, but it did require downing it with a drink. I ended up taking half of the loaf and making French toast out of it. It turned out nicely. I hope to return to get some natas. There were so many pastries that I want to try as many as possible. (245)

From the moment I walked in, the friendly staff made me feel right at home. They were incredibly friendly and helped make recommendations on their most popular pastries - there's so many to choose from! I got the Pistachio Tiramisu and the Sweet Egg Mille Feuille. The tiramisu was light, sweet, and had a subtle pistachio flavor. The Mille Feuille was massive! It had crispy, flaky layers and a nicely balanced sweet egg custard in between. Very reasonable prices for all their pastries. If you're in the area and craving some authentic Portuguese pastries, I highly recommend stopping by this charming bakery! :)

I was completely overwhelmed by how perfect it was. Every single visit since then has been exactly the same. Without fail, they serve the absolute best coffee and lattes I have ever had in my life. The consistency is unmatched.Beyond the world-class coffee, the atmosphere is beautiful, and the baked goods look (and taste) like absolute art. What truly makes this place a hidden gem, though, is the staff. The people here are incredibly warm, lovely, and welcoming.If you are anywhere near Bolton, you owe it to yourself to stop by. They deserve every bit of praise and success. A million stars!

Place seemed pretty clean and well lit - seat wasn't very comfortable though. Service was very quick, and server was very friendly, and made sure you were aware of all there offerings. However, in terms of the food - it was just okay at best, nothing to write home about for the traditional breakfast - sausage tasted a bit undercooked - potatoes were lacking flavour - Vanilla Latte - coffee was way too mild , so tasted more like drinking Vanilla oat milk - needed to get another coffee elsewhere soon after. Overall - give it a try - however not missing out on much -

Undoubtably. I also got their chicken sandwich and loved it. Their cannolis are also obviously made perfectly and the pastries are so different from any other bakeries. You must try the Sicilia pastry made with orange and pistachio. Uniquely combo but goes so well. I am definitely going to become a regular here.

I did get my money back and ordered a coffee. After drinking it, I felt quite nauseous and then worse. I reached out to the owner who did NOTHING about it. No apology, no offer for a free coffee or even regret for the rudeness. Just a refusal to take responsibility: "all our food is fresh, this never happened type of 'fake news', double talk. I will no longer attend this establishment as the food is too frequently sold after its sell by date. A question to the owner: "how long do you think you can take advantage of customers until none of us are interested in supporting you and why do you feel entitled to hard earned money in exchange for spoiled, old food"?

The bakery is still shockingly awful, if the tooth shattering, impressively tasteless "sugar cookie" I got is any indication. Not only was it the worst cookie I've ever paid for, but holy craps, it was seven bucks! Seven dollars for a cookie that tastes like it was purchased from the dollar store in 2023. I could hammer a nail with it. I would bet serious dough that Metro cookies would beat Mabel's in a blind taste test. The service, focaccia, and salad were good, so that's how Mabel's earns two stars from me. It's just so strange that this place is both the worst and most expensive bakery in Toronto. It's like a quantum singularity that somehow remains popular despite being surrounded on all sides by better bakeries, cafes, and eateries.
