Caldense bakery is our go to chain for baked goods in Vaughan. When we found out that there was one in Bradford on our road trip, we decided to make a stop. Our go to order is the tiramisu chocolate cups and flan cakes. We recently dropped by this location and it was much more spacious, very welcoming and had space for dine in as well. Not sure if the ingredients have recently changed but we noticed that there was a significant citrusy taste to the tiramisu cups which was really off-putting. I couldn't even finish the dessert because I was unsure if the tiramisu went bad or if there was something new in the ingredients.
Furthermore, the service could be better improved. Each time the server was taking a new order, they'd have to go to through the kitchen doors and get a box (why couldn't the boxes be by the desserts?). There are also no labels on the desserts which causes a lot of slowness as people in line inquire about each dessert and the ingredients in them. This causes significant build up in the line as we wait for each person to review each dessert. Not sure if I was just unlucky with this specific batch of desserts and the long line we waited in today but I will definitely try to go and order in advance and give the tiramisu cup another try. read more
