Very busy. Good customer service. Customers lining up outside as per local Covid-19 protocols. Well done.

Guillaume Lavoie

Nice bakery. Great for a light lunch (soup and sandwich)

Usman Suhrwardy

Just straight-up uncouth, contemptible customer service. At times, if not all the times. Thank you for ruining my mornings each day. Glad I don't live in this neighbourhood anymore.

REDROBRC FPV

Good service and the expressos are on point!

Olavo DSouza

Awesome baked goodies!!! I drop by regularly. Their sourdough bread is just amazing. Custard tarts, just heavenly!!! The staff go out of the way to provide fantastic service. If you have not tasted the pastries here, you are definitely missing something special!!!

Dennis Campbell

Yummy!!! That's all I have to say.

Alex Pacis

Ok bakery

Jassie S.

Great little bakery with great cakes. Went here with my girlfriend for some dessert and we had a couple of their cakes. The cakes we got was their Strawberry Cheesecake (which I remember having many years ago here and it tasting very good) and their Chocolate Cake. Both tasted great and would recommend this place for anyone who wants a nice slice of cake.

Always a good choice for breakfast if you're open to fall in love with a taste of Portugal.

Lei Zhang

Ordered an Americano and a cake, the coffee is great, but the cake tastes like a chewing gum. Service is good.

The best sour dough bread in Mississauga!

Latif Tiazit

Nice bakery..

sapideh zia (Saps_bailaybaladi)

Their sandwiches and coffee is so good. The service is nice sometimes it take a little longer but if you're not in a rush it is definitely worth it. Very good food, delicious and fresh.

Fatima Malik

Omg this place is soooooo good. Everything is freshly baked. Warning : if you're addicted to baked good or have a tendency to be addicted to baked goods - STAY AWAY - Otherwise, go enjoy the atmosphere- they have cute tables and chairs and windows everywhere so the sun is always shining in. The place smells great ofc. And the staff is cute.

Adil Lakhani

Amazing bakery. My family is obsessed with their sweet treats, especially the custard tarts. Their sandwich buns are awesome, too. Add to that their cakes, coffee, savoury snacks and cheeses. All great stuff

Afro Gonzalez

Fast and friendly service.

Ryan DSouza

Love the breads here.they are famous for their Custard Tarts.

Soya Suwabe

Just got a red velvet cake on Sunday for my birthday from my cousin. The whole looks like has been frozen for one month in the freezer. The sponge cake part is hard as rock so does the cream cheese frosting! And also too salty.

Stefan Murray

I thought that it was pretty good I mean I got a brownie and it wasn't as soft as the ones I usually get and when I got a ham and cheese sandwich it was stuffed in it and there wasn't much room.

Kylee Cudmore-Moody

Excellent service and selections. Open seating no booths or bench

Raeliana Morin

Lovely bakery with lots of tasty pastries. I always go here for their croissants they're just so good. Make sure to grab their custard tarts too! Staff are very kind and friendly :)

Daniel Henderson

I love this place!!! I have been coming for years. Espresso is great!!! Natash are so good and fresh as well.

Mahmoud Elbadri

Their dark rye bread with seeds is just something amazing, one of a kind. Keep up the awesome work

Matt Monteleone

This location and the location in Woodbridge are the two best ones! I will say this, at this location the staff could be a little friendlier and bit more attentive and prompt with helping customers!

Manuel Carneiro

Always good service

Ali Nomani

Great place ..nice service..a wide variety of items...

Cerise

The best natas I've ever tasted! Absolutely love Caldense Bakery. The natas were nice and warm and the custard filling was not too sweet. A very friendly atmosphere and excellent customer service. On my next visit, i'll try the espresso with my nata.

M R

Great Portugese bakery, tons of great staff and quality of food is perfect.

Ashley Anderson

Traditional Portugese desserts. There are cannolis too. Have been a few times. Service is always great and friendly. Bread is very fresh and tasty. Cappuccino's are ok but not gourmet... Need more frothed milk. Espressos are good. Tarts are great. Had an almond croissant that was very tasty and sweet. Great place to sit, relax and wait for prescription to be filled (at the nearby Shoppers Drug Mart) or great meetup spot. Avoid school hour times as can be filled with loud highschool students from the St. Josephs highschool across the street.

RPM

Best omlettes, even better than those expensive breakfast places !

Eduardo Costa

Great service, the best coffee around and the best bread.

craig thompson

Best Sourdough anywhere!!!

Renee D'Souza

Got a ham and salami pastry. Very tasty! Staff were friendly enough. The other pastries looked really good too. Would stop in again next time I'm in the area.

Jim Gough

Miserable staff. Noticed people were only buying bread, found out why when we tried the pastries, should have been on a day old display. Disappointing since we were trying a local business in our neighbourhood. Need to learn some customer service skills

Fawaz Khalid

Wide array of baked goods, loved the chocolate mousse. Service was ok.

George Rebelo

Clean friendly people and real good custard tarts

Ifrah Arif

The nicest staff and tastiest baked good!

Tony M Leitao

Great selection tasty galao, tosta mista, variety of pastries and friendly staff

Mandy K

First time customer and the last. Spent $14 on 4 pastries and they were stale. They had the fresh ones visible in the front of display but sold the stale ones from the back.

Chris Hayes

Great bakery fresh always

ananya bose

The benchmark of a good bakery are their croissants and while it is easy to get distracted by the vast selection of croissant iterations ranging from ham and cheese to ‘sweet egg’ (?) available at this location, a good croissant should be crispy on the outside and light and flaky on the inside. By no means should you expect Parisian croissants for $3 in Mississauga, but that being said if you want a dense loaf of bread with low quality chocolate, Caldense Bakery seems to be the place. I have been to this location on two separate occasions, and have been greeted by the same subpar, thick ‘bread like’ croissants with low quality oddly acidic chocolate and sickly sweet almond filling each time. While trying to diagnose the problem with their dough, it can most likely be attributed to poor lamination, the butter melting into the dough, or possibly just their poor shaping of the dough(increase number of rolls) . In regard to the fillings a simple fix is to just add some lemon zest to freshen up the almond paste, as it is rather one dimensional . Additionally, although it is traditional to use a cheaper chocolate with a lower cocoa butter in pain au chocolate, the risk of melting out it is minimized in filled croissants. To conclude, despite the fact Caldense Bakery has admittedly aesthetically attractive pastries, it is evident they value style over substance. If you want a more personable service go to Molisana’s, if you want inexpensive baked goods go to a Tim Hortons and if you want high quality pastries go to French Corner Patisserie or Danish Pastry House. With the exception of their Portuguese pastries (which arguably they have very few of), Caldense bakery has failed to find its niche in an already over saturated market.

Sean Mancini

Two words Nutella nata.... Amazing bakery friendly staff

Lawrence Chan

1st time trying it, the bread are a bit hard. Not recommended for elderly. The cake is too sweet, also not recommended for old ppl.

Ghyth Al Baldawi

Classic portuguese bakery

Myriam MacIver

Great apple strudel and cold cuts

Mahmud Khamis

Nice family run place

Nibal Aziz

Portuguese Sweets, cakes, pastries , varieties of bread and delicious custard tart combined with their coffee YUMMY...I love their latte usually take it with a cheese cake or a tart ...the location serves the purpose so well it's a corner unit with alot of sun light makes it a perfect hang out for a winter afternoon.

Rui

This is a really nice bakery and the food is really good, the sandwiches are extremely tasty and well priced. The desserts are superb and when paired with a latte it's simply heaven. The only downside is the slowness of the service, which may be due to the place being very busy.

Priyangshu Das

It's trash and overpriced

Lucas Roy

The food is delicious.

astuti tuty

I love the almonds cookies ????

roshelle whyte

Bob Mcgregor

Jasmine Genat

Best shrimp patties compared to everywhere else. And the quejada nata yum!

Pantalaio Gaming

EDITED: Everything I got tasted stale and like it was made a week ago

Expect Better at HomeRunProperties DOT Ca

Mondays are when bakeries take their weekly day off. This is the case for my fav bakeries. So I decided to head over to Caldense to try their baked goods. I ended up ordering some of their cake slices. I chose the Black Forest, Red Velvet, Strawberry Cheesecake and the Strawberry-Lime-Coconut. The cakes were most enjoyable. They were all moist with a good amount of balance between tasting just sweet enough without being overly sweet. Some might wish to enjoy their cakes with maximum sweetness or less etc. But I liked the taste. I also tried the chocolate croissants and some crusty buns ( papo secos). The chocolate croissants were not a hit with my lunch party friends because it was overly sweet. This was made so because there was a crust of brown sugar or something like that on it which made it taste too sweet. The crusty buns were crusty on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. They were a perfect match with some fresh pasta. So all in all I really enjoyed the baked goods and I will return to try their other offerings. Please pop in and let us all know what your thoughts are. The service was friendly, helpful and efficient.

DouglasRTII

Good selection and friendly staff. I always buy the tarts and breads ate also very good.

Abdallah Bey Timuroglu

Great desserts

Ruwanthie Fernando

Very busy bakery. Excellent breads and sweet bakes.

Ashley Gilbert

Great quality. Everything is delicious but sadly customer service sucks... the girls behind the counter always seem so flustered. I hate hounding people but sadly if you dont, something will either be forgotten or messed up.

Archie Naik

The Portuguese tarts here are the best!!!

Ana Ferreira

Great bread! Good costumer service. Pastry is good. The only complaints for 2017 are: the service provided during the Christmas holidays: Bolo Rei and Bolo Rainha were extremely, extremely dry, and the Bolo Rainha that was supposed to have some nuts inside, had barely any. Also Tronco de Natal, was covered in white frosting instead of the expected and well known brown and chocolate one. Also I pre-ordered some bread for Christmas Eve and received a call a couple of hours before saying that due to some technical problems they didn't have the padas I had ordered and asking if they could replace them with buns instead! Lol Moreover, on the birthday cake I ordered they forgot to write on it what I had asked for and then the employee could not write it himself as, unlike on the other bakeries around, they don't have the icing or anything to be able to go around an unexpected situation like this.

kannan sr

Nice one

Steven Livingstone

Delicious Portuguese bakery. Great hot sandwiches and sweet pastries.

Gagandeep Singh

Nice place for coffee and snack. Cool and relaxing - I tried to get away from the usual busy coffee joints but will go there more often now

Saravana Moorthy

Cool bakery in Mississauga.. tried Custard Tart and Apple turnover.. baked it to darkened style ????..tasted yummy.. Custard Tart is great.. Customer Service could've been better..

ABDOU DZIRI

easy access. fresh bread nd good baked sweets for morning coffe . they the best when it comes to serving customers. I recommend everyone to go check the place .

AMS AMS

Fresh stuff....Daily!

Danielle Lemire

I always expect the pastries to be great but so far I have had pastries that taste like store bought quality. The brownies are probably the worst I've ever had. The croissants are like bread and don't have the fluffy texture you expect. The small pizzas they have are pretty good though and so that's probably all I will buy here. The coffee is ok as well. Overall it is not a very good quality bakery!

VISHVA SOMPURA

I got my cheesecake made to order for my hubby’s birthday. It was exactly as expected. Thank you.

Carlos Ku

It was delicious, clean and neat. Most importantly, the place looks decently classier...

Salim Mooradun

The bread is very good .especially the french baguette..but cake not fresh.

Jyothi Thyagarajan (JMT)

This bakery carries one of the best Portuguese tarts! Please give it a try

Lauren Seymour

The most delicious custard tarts! Occasionally I try the soup if I stop by (for tarts) around lunch, which is also very tasty.

Mrinal Alleear

Love the desserts

Samid Ashraf

Only two guys working here around 5pm weekend. First guy just turned around and walked away. Second guy looked at me as if he didn't want me there. I got a cake from here and left quickly. Maybe they have better staff, I don't know. It was my first time there and surely also my last.

Amos Bede

Coffee was really good

Melan Shamaoun

Nice place to go for breakfast and lunch. Very clean, pastries, sandwiches, tea,coffee Expresso.

(Translated) The Portuguese style store is similar to the Brazilian BAKERY. But the quality price is not good. (Original) 葡式茄啡店，出品形式与Brazil BAKERY 相似。但質量價格均遜。

Erica T

Tasty pastries... Get their savoury ones! Beef and shrimp are the best.

Alvin Benoit

Should not be called a bakery ????

Olivia Carvalho

When I went to Caldense for the last couple times. I was very please to see such a friendly worker. I have gone to many different Caldense locations but I have never encounter such a well mannered worker. She was the sweetest most polite person I have ever encountered at a fast food restaurant. She definitely deserves some praise! Bravo Valerie

C.V Res

-1 for the customer service. Slow and rude. Way to ruin someone's morning. Waited almost 15 mins for a small coffee and no one could help. Left with no coffee but will never go back.

Small place with good bakery selection. It also sells coffee.

Jasmine Kharouf

Love their fresh baked bread and baked goods! They have these small shrimp & cod fish patties that are absolutely delicious! Those patties also come in beef, ham & chicken. Nice clean place that you can go to and bring your family and friends to have coffee and their desserts.

Dana Wheatley

Always fresh always amazing

Asmaa Hussain-Shakil

It's really a hit or miss with the baked goods but the employees are helpful and try to explain what's in the products.

Kalpana Vashee

I wish I could give it 0 stars We bought the tiramisu, Oreo cookie, and two others pastries - they tasted stale as if they had been sitting for a few days. Horrible cakes - and this was on a Monday. Other products might be good but I won't return after my experience. I would go to Swirls instead

Pato

Love the cod croquettes, meat, chicken and shrimp pasteis/little fried empanadas. Creamed filled donuts are also some of my favorite things ????Staff speak Portuguese and English

John COSTA

David montenegro

Amazing breads, deli, sweets and even breakfast and other meals. All fresh.. Service was very good.

Nick V

Delicious Portuguese pastries here!

Haina K

would give this place 0 star if i could. the pastry was ok but the customer service was terrible. no greetings or thanks from the staffs (the place wasn't even busy). the girl at the counter was annoyed and not very helpful when i asked her questions about the pastry. will not return again.

chefboy RD

I got some Portuguese egg tarts and they were amazing and fresh. I was lucky enough to get fresh ones. The tartes were so fresh that they scalded the top of my mouth. The centre was rich and creamy while the outer shell was flakey and crispy. One of the best Portuguese bakeries in mississauga

Allan Thompson

Thay are nice people good service and clean

janelle ballack

Grabbing a coffee and pastry has definitely become a habit from this place! Great customer service and friendly staff????????

Stefani Blazevic

We were originally unhappy with what we got, I brought it to their attention and they MORE than fixed it. We were extremely happy with the baked good we had ordered and they were super fresh and absolutely delicious! Thank you ladies!! :)

Claudia Martins

Love it ???? they have soup, bread, sweets and they also sell some portuguese products like Cafe,tuna, marmalada.. A taste of Portugal in Mississauga

Stella Khan

Lord have mercy! Let's just say once am done with this review, I'm going over to Caldense to please my palette.hehe

K A

I ordered a queen cake for december 23. 1- it was 1 day delayed , I had to pick it up on the 24 so if you order from them around Christmas time make sure you order it a day or 2 before the actual date you want it. 2- the girl checking us out is slower then my turtle, really looked high 3- queen cake normally has lots of nuts my cake nearly had any. From all i ear about this bakery today i was 100% disappointed, especially with the company that provides there cakes

Ruslan

Yesterday I ordered baguette, some buns and some desserts for breakfast to be delivered. Only desserts came. I wanted to save some time with that delivery, but in the end I had to go to another bakery myself.

J Rc

Sandy is very confrontational towards customers, and has poor customer service skills. Beware as they OVERCHARGE on all credit/debit transactions by rounding up - this is an unethical business practice as rounding only applies to cash transactions, since the federal government phased out the penny.

Mi Be

Very nice selection of pastries. They were delicious!

Abdul Malik

I have been their Mississauga location customer for several years. This morning I was at their bakery at 7 AM and they did not open. On the door their Saturday open timing showed 7 AM whereas online it showed 8AM. I was waiting outside in cold for 30 minutes and finally had to return home. A simple oversight on part of their staff caused 30 minutes of wait for a long standing loyal customer

Bran White

A nice little place. A typical Portuguese bakery complete with sumol and natis. They have a kind, helpful and attractive staff. fresh bread made daily on which they make very yummy sandwiches on. Lot's of space to sit. busy at the lunch hour and parking lot is always full. not cheap but not over priced either. great espresso based coffees and yes.. "Canadian coffee as well.

fernando agnelo

Arguably the best Portuguese bakery. The family was very happy with everything we got for Christmas. The bolo rei (king cake) is five stars.

Richard Guinot

Very nice staff and excellent products, breads and pastries. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Wendy Rapz

The fresh portuguese buns are so good! Daily treats are made fresh, latte was just right. Their tosta mista are so yummy (Grilled ham and cheese sandwich)

Jessica Gamboa

Always fresh

Maria Ferreira

Buns go stale in 1 day. Quality has declined! Manager of the store is rude and has a bad attitude!

Great food, awful service. Every time I go here the employees are so incredibly rude it’s barely worth going back. A real shame given how good the food is.

glen moolchan

Great bakery

Attilio Salvatore

Good service but they never give the beautiful buns that are on display

Geoff Gonzales

Buns and kay-jadas if you know what I mean

Bernard Abreo

Good quality of bread...customer service is poor and needs improvement. Kept me waiting 30 minutes for garlic bread after promising delivery in 10 min. Rude when told to refund or change order...Pathetic staff

Cameron Andrews

The best Portuguese tarts I have ever had!

Lia Tiberio

(Translated) Wonderful bread service delight. (Original) Delícia de pão atendimento maravilhoso.

Brutal service. I can’t the believe the owner allows the misery that one employee puts in the customers. I was really looking for a nice local place to go to but I guess I’ll need to keep looking.

Andreas Clips

As with most places, the price is increasing while the size of the product is decreasing, as goes inflation. Good tasting products though.

Mourad Ernest

Nice and good people

filipa amorim

Just received a Uber Eats order from Caldense Bakery, we are beyond impressed! The quality was fresh yummy perfection :) We were also very impressed with the friendly notes and great substitution that was made for the item that was not available! Thank you (Obrigada) Caldense team!

Simon Romano

food is always good, but not to the point where my business is not apprecuated...customer service is horrible. showed up on Christmas eve to pick up my order and didn't even get a thank you or a merry Christmas as I had to say merry Christmas to the staff who didn't even respond as I walked out dropping 100 bucks... might need to find another place next year...

Denize D'Souza

I walked in and was greeted with such amazing smiles and service. The one lady that took my order was so friendly and provided a lot of help. I used to go there a lot and I'm glad to see that they have kept the amazing rep. Every job deserves a Valerie.

michael sy

Tasted their Merange, it's sweet and sticky, they must have over baked it. Otherwise, the bakery serves good Portuguese custard pies.

Asim Abid

The Portuguese’s tarts are the best from here

Toy Happy! Fun!

This place is openly rascist. They only serve their own kind, no need to go if you are no white european, I literally stood at the register for a good 5 awkward minutes and while I was looked at by several workers behind the counter, no one said hi and ignored me when I said hi, yikes.

Shireen P

Terrible caramel custard! tasted so bad had to throw it away - waste of $22

Breads and tarts, fantastic. Some of the little cakes, stale. Nice people, cute place.

Steph R

The baked goods were very good. The service left a lot to be desired. I was very excited to try Caldense Bakery as I had driven by it a number of times and I love trying new bakeries. When I entered the store excited to try some of the baked goods, I starting asking the girl at the counter what items were in the case and I felt like I was an inconvenience to her. I purchased 3 items (would like likely been more), but I couldn't wait to get out of there. Despite the product being very tasty I will not return after this experience.

Sharon Jackson

I GOT SNAPPED FOR COMING IN WROUNG WAY

Great bakery. Fresh buns and cakes
