Calabria Bakery

i ordered a lasagna with a side of mixed veggies and had a lime drank to quench my thirst. i liked the mushrooms the most out of the veggies.
the lasagna was excellent. lots of layers. saucy and soft. sometimes you get lasagna and there is cheese that’s been melted on top but then it hardens and a kinda gross cheese layer on top. you don’t get that here. you can cut through it easily from top to bottom with just a fork. it was quite filling and for those who have a sweet tooth, you can get some baked goods/​pastries or gelato. i’m sure i’ll be back to try those some time.

Had a Groupon for this place, so stopped by for lunch with my sister on a weekday back in June. We weren’t super hungry so we got an Eggplant Lasagna ($ 6.50), a Meatball ($ 2.00), an Arancini ($ 2.99), and an Apple Turnover ($ 1.75) to share so we could try a little bit of everything.
The eggplant lasagna was sooo good. My sister and I both loved it and couldn’t get enough! It was like many thin layers of eggplant parmesan stacked on topped of each other. The eggplant was so meaty in texture I didn’t even remember it was meatless. It was also surprisingly filling too, which I didn’t expected. We liked it so much, we went home and looked up recipes to try to recreate it, but it was too much work. Next time we’ll just come back to get it instead! The apple turnover was very flaky and not overly sweet. The meatball and arancini were both good, but I’ve had better elsewhere.
This seems like a cute little place. They have a few tables at this little shop for eating in. The hot tables items makes for a quick, cheap lunch. I’ll definitely be back for more of the eggplant lasagna and to try some other items as well!

Nothing was available! Don’t be misled by their website/​menu items. Their hot foods and bread shelves were pretty must cleaned out both times I was there! Zero pastries and desserts. Why have a menu at all if 95% of the posted stuff isn’t there? I have tried there both in the late morning and in the afternoon, so the time of day could not have been the cause. The PLAIN bread that I managed to find turned out to be extremely HARD and SALTY. I can’t figure how plain bread could be salty, however the last piece of Veal that I picked up tasted pleasant. Still, It was a waste of effort and gas to even drive there since nothing else was available. So frustrating, never coming back.

Love this place.
Got a salted caramel ice cream and also a strawberry ice cream. $ 5 each for small. They ran out of small cups so they filled the large cup only half way. But the lovely lady didn’t just stop half way. She filled it almost all the way up. I felt like I was eating a large ice cream. I loved the salted caramel flavour. It actually tasted like the name suggested. Also got a vanilla meringue and a slice of chocolate cake. The meringue was nice and light and airy. Very yummy. The cake while looked very good tasted only okay.
There were a few seats inside but it was packed. Good thing they had one table outside so we opted for that.
Service was excellent and friendly.

I love desserts and pastries. On my visit here in January I was a little underwhelmed to say the least .
I guess I was expecting too much (I imagined canolis, those tri coloured almond cookies, and other Italian goodies). I tried instead a latte which was alright and a cupcake. Or maybe I went on a bad day.
The cupcake apparently is from the Cheesecake Factory in the states. I love the Cheesecake Factory, but if I had talented staff— which I’m sure they have. I’d make Cupcakes with an Italian spin in house (cannoli cupcakes, baccio, nuttella etc).Not cupcakes that taste frozen and like they’ve been shipped around.
I will visit again, but only to give it last try because I was sorely disappointed in the desserts. Service was good.
To be fair they seemed to have a few savoury options and decent seating for a small bakery. MAybe I’ll try a dish made in House.
I can only hope that the American Italian bakeries I’ve visited in America with cakes/​pastries galore make it to Canada.

It’s a great place for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. Fresh, tasty, home cooked Italian food, fresh breads and pastries, freshly brew coffees, reasonable price. Friendly staffs, been here many years, never disappointed.

I was looking for a place nearby that sold pumpkin pie by the slice and happened to hear about this bakery. To my surprise it was so close to us! It’s a nice little place which seems to place a lot of quality in their food. The first bite of the pumpkin pie tart was unforgettable! The price was amazing for the quantity and quality of it. The décor feels very homely and they have done an amazing job with the halloween theme! I definitely want to come back and try a meal here.

Really close by so I always grab something when I come to the area. I’ve been here 3 times and it’s always great! I recommend the pizza with grilled portabello and practically ALL their desserts because they have a different variety every time I come!

Calabria is a true «tavola calda», certainly a gem for simple but good Italian food.
Located in a plaza, Calabria offers hot Italian dishes served cafeteria style, baked goods and pastries, espresso drinks, and wood-​oven pizzas. I have been there many times as it is quite convenient to pick up some dinner on my way home. My favourite is the meat lasagna: layers and layers of perfectly cooked noodles, meat, sauce, and cheese perfection! Also, Calabria is a great location to find those delicious speciality panettone around Christmas time. This place is a MUST try!!!

Calabria Bakery always the place to go when I want to get some home made Italian food, bread or pastries when I am in the area.
They used to located right at the corner of McCowan and Hwy 7 and now they moved further East closer to Markham Road.
The new location is a little smaller… but they did a great job in bring some of the décor and the atmosphere from the previous location.
Cappuccino ($ 3.50) is on the milky side compare to what I prefer but not bad.
It was a nice place to hang out with your friends on a Sunny afternoon… or maybe grab a quick lunch or a loaf of Ciabatta?
Btw, this location doesn’t bake their bread on site… but have them shipped from the location in Scarborough.
