Venezia Bakery

I can’t imagine a better treat than the custard tarts from Venezia. They’re perfect. At 4 for $ 6, I would pay double.

Cheap quality food, hostile service though. Not my cup of tea, but it may be for others…

Venezia Bakery is a small traditional type bakery. Everybody was complementing their custard tart, so I tried. It was very good. I was very impressed. I tried one day old pastries and cookies and they were horrible. The woman in the shop looked tired and I felt bad. It is not a expensive store at all.

The custard tart is good but the service is really bad. They didn’t give a shit at all.

I’ve been going here for the last 5 years since I’ve moved to the neighborhood. Staff is great. Their pizzas are great. Different more like pizza bread than regular pizza. Donuts are phenomenal. The count sprinkle chocolate is our favorite.

One of the best makers of custard tarts left in the West End. We often get sandwiches to take with us to the park. Service is fine; cash is king.

The service here leaves much to be desired. The old ladies really don’t give a shit. But, they have decent sandwiches and a selection of drinks and snacks. Their custard tarts are pretty much the reason to come here, the rest of their bakery selection I’m sure would be nice if it weren’t stale.
So cheap lunch, you get what you pay for.

As we were walking by we thought we would grab a pastel de nata (custard tart) to take to the park. Not impressed at all. While the lady was very very nice– and the only reason I gave two stars — the tart was completely stale. There were so many on the counter and they were DEFINITELY not made that day. The pastry was extremely hard and not melt in your mouth flaky as it should be. The filling was okay– but after only one bite I was not wasting calories on old desserts.
Very confusing. Anyway the wildlife thanked us, I hope.

I went in for lunch on a Wed afternoon, looking for something savoury as well as a bakery item for dessert.
Cons:
No interac on orders under $ 10
The ladies behind the counter were rude and neglectful
The pizza slice I ordered (I only had $ 3 in cash on me at the time) was served cold and was very doughy
Pros:
Some of the bakery items I saw on display (but couldn’t order unless I spent $ 10 to qualify for interac) looked like they might be tasty
The Pizza tasted ok, despite being doughy.
Overall I left feeling frustrated so I won’t be back

I love this bakery so much. When ever I’m working in the area, I always grab grub here. Their custard tarts are amazing. As are their fresh deli sandwiches. The coffee is delicious as well!
Great prices, amazing food and friendly staff. Could a girl ask for anything more? I think not. Om Nom nom.

I go here simply for the Portuguese custard tarts. They are to fight over for. $ 1.25 per tart — if you buy 6 its $ 6. Bargain!!! The tarts are crispy and flaky on the outside and sweet smooth inside. You can’t have just one. Pair it off with some tea and youre golden. Tried the coconut tart — not that good. Just stick with the OG.

Tosta mistas make me happy.
Ham and cheese on a fluffy bun scrunched down to grilled, crispy perfection for under $ 5. It’s my second favourite tosta mista* in town, and the price is definitely right. Most people come for the pastries and custard tarts, but I say: salt is the greatest seasoning of them all, and next time you should grab a sammie.
If you live in the hood, they also have a bank machine and many necessities to make your life easier. It’s your bakery-​meets-​corner-​store, and I am a fan.
*This bakery is better for all other fare, but gotta give the tosta mista prize to Progress Bakery on Dovercourt, N of Bloor.

Nice little Portuguese bakery.
You will your staples, breads, tarts, deli and coffee.
Tiny and at the a corner street. Good homemade goodness.

Venezia Bakery an old school staple in the trendy Ossington strip and I like its character. It’s a full bakery but the tarts are why I visit.
These are the best pasteis de natas I’ve had in town. The custard is creamy and Goldilocks-​like sweet, the pastry is flaky and light, and the combination together is heavenly.
It’s difficult to stop at just one.

Venezia Bakery was a little out of the way for us, but the custard tarts are well worth the trip.
Venezia resembles more of a corner store and deli than a full service bakery. There are some basic dry goods in stock including snacks and sodas, but there are a lot of breads and pastries to choose from as well.
The tarts are less than $ 1 each, so we got a few of the custard and one coconut for myself. The custard tarts are simply amazing. The crust is flaky and chewy, and the custard is sweet and creamy. The coconut tart was dense and filling for something that looked so tiny!
The pastry items aren’t labeled, but since I came in here knowing I wanted tarts, I didn’t ask a bunch of questions about what else was available. I only regret not ordering more; however, I didn’t think the custard would hold up in the heat, walking several blocks, or countless streetcar and bus rides.
The lady behind the counter was nice, and you can’t beat the hours. It’s rare to come across a bakery open this late. The hours made it very convenient for us to visit during our recent vacation.

Located on a small corner. Run by Portuguese speaking people. Tons of bakery items with very few labels.
Got the egg custard and «drum» bread. Egg custard was probably the best I’ve ever had. Crisp crust and tons of creamy filling w natural sweetness. Drum bread was layers of flaky bread w layers of cream. Also very good.

These bakeries dotting Little Portugal are a treat to stumble upon. This one is at an unassuming corner on Ossington surrounded by restaurants and bars yet retains the family run feel that has been a trademark over the decades. Part convenience store, sit down café, quick takeout service and coffee to go, Venezia does it all. There are plenty of baked treats with the signature Portuguese tart in various sizes. The mini one is a great idea as it can be popped in your mouth without any gooiness getting on your hands or maybe go for a whole pie filled with that creamy rich goodness. Go ahead, I dare you!

Heaven! The custard tarts are so fresh and flaky, just the right amount of sugar in the cream. The cream itself is so soft and gooey in the middle, unlike others I’ve tried before, where the cream was too dense. Outstanding!
I’ve got also Quince Jam, I love it, there will be jam rolls this afternoon :)!

The Portuguese egg tarts are delicious! I ordered a couple to eat there and ended up grabbing more to-​go. The custard center is perfect, not too sweet or too eggy, and the top has caramelized patches that give it a such a good brulee flavor. The puff pastry shell is flaky and crunchy.
There are other baked goods and some grocery items available at Venezia Bakery as well. There are some seats inside too.

Pretty good natas, not too sweet, with a flaky crust. They also have nice selection of Portuguese sausages and cheeses, as well as other baked goods and daily grocery items.
There are a few tables for you to order your nata and coffee and enjoy it there.
