Nova Era Bakery

Food is terrible, service is worse, wouldn’t waste my time or money on the dump. When you order they mutter under their breath, in another language too low to catch, so why would you give them a dime?

This is a very Portuguese place. Some people may like the vibe and some may not. It definitely feels like a minor culture shock going into this bakery since I got confused about where to order and wait the first few times I visited. (Order at the counter and pay, sit down and wait at a table even if you’re getting take out.)
The coffee is alright, definitely better than your boring big coffee chains. I’ve never had a problem with the food and the chocolate swiss rolls are my favourite. Service does not operate on metropolitan time. Expect to sit, relax and people-​watch if you’re ordering even a simple sandwich. Choose the patio if you can.
Not wheelchair friendly but it only has one step to get inside.

I had a horrible experience here. They severed me old cake (the cream was rancid), when I tried to make a comment about it the girl at the counter rolled her eyes. … very unconcerned staff. The guy who took my order was fine but the other women I dealt with not so much. I am not coming back to this location anytime soon! !! Yuck

Went for some afternoon snack. The Portuguese style custard tart was very good, though slightly on the sweeter side. Also had a coconut bun that was a bit dry, should’ve bought a drink to wash it down.

Coffee was good however the giant chocolate cookie was very dry and crumbled apart. Service was confusing as well

Nova Era Bakery is the first stop of our November Food Crawl.
Nova Era seems to be popping up everywhere in the GTA, which I am not too surprise.
On this particular November Sunday this location was packed with people lining up for bread and pastries to go or just want to grab a quick coffee or like us just want to chill a bit where table services were offered.
The prices are affordable here as we enjoying our first meal of the day:
Cappuccino Med ($ 2.71)
Egg Custard ($ 1.15)
Carioca ($ 1.52) — which I found out is a weaker version of espresso which is having the hot water running through the ground coffee a second time
Services was quite fast… a little indifferent but the place was kind of busy with almost every table being occupied.
And aside from getting our Java fix, we even got a chance to pick up a lotto ticket when we were paying at the cash!
NEXT!
