La Novita Bakery

Decided to finally stop in at this place on the way home from work. I’m glad I did. Deli counter is adequate full of the usual meats, and cheeses. Pricing seems to be inline with grocery stores which was good considering I figured the price would be higher in a smaller establishment. Let’s talk bread and baked goods. Plenty to go around ranging from freshly baked buns to multigrain breads to numerous deserts. Nothing is lacking here. There is a vast selection to please anyone and everyone. Prices are reasonable on the baked goods. Small coffee counter and tables. I will go back and perhaps try some of that freshly baked bread!
Negative would be parking. The bakery is in a strip mall that can get busy.
Lots of helpful staff!

Found a place to cool down after work. I tried the ham and cheese sandwich with regular black coffee. It’s ok. I also tried the pecan pie. It’s ok too. There are different kinds of pastries too.
There are different kinds of cheese and sausages.
The bread loaves are fresh and is sliced only after you but it. I came around 4:30 and the place was quite. By 5:30, people started coming in and the bread slicer can be loud and annoying.
Ambiance is simple classic coffee w/​pastry shop style. They have TV showing the news.
Staff looks like students but they were very helpful, fast and efficient.
Parking is in front of the bake shop.

Recently renovated, I didn’t recognize the place when I walked in.
I’ve been coming to this bakery for a few years since it’s in my neighbourhood. It’s your fairly regular European bakery — breads, pastries, deli meats & cheese. Prices are average, what you will see at most places. The pastries are delicious and buns are always fresh.
Since the renos though, they seem to have cut back on shelving a lot of products. The place looks better aesthetically, but your options are more limited with food items now. I think they are trying to make it more into a café

awesome Portuguese buns, breads and sweets.

I love this bakery. Years ago i lived just across the street from it and would often wake up to the smell of something fresh baking and i would float on the wonderful aroma like in the cartoons and find myself across the street buying bread that was still warm for breakfast on a saturday morning. I was passing by this place last night and had to stop in and get some fresh buns and some bread. Also the cakes, oh are they ever good. Every time we had an office function my coworkers would ask if i would stop in and grab one from here. After all these years i am still a huge fan of this place. Even the deli counter is full of fresh and wonderful cold cuts and the price is right too. Even though i dont live across the street anymore, I’m going to have to make a point of dropping by more often.

Nice little bakery with a deli counter. In addition to all sorts of Italian breads, they do a lot of pastries and tarts, and the place smells heavenly. They have a deli counter with great sandwiches, and a café counter with a few old gents sitting there speaking Portuguese and drinking espresso with 5 sugars in it! Nice atmosphere, friendly service, and good breads and coffee (haven’t bought any deli meats here, but looks good too).

This neighbourhood bakery has been here for years. Though the name indicates an Italian bakery… It’s really more Portuguese. I would say its a 3.5 star place… Definitely a notch above other Mississauga bakeries with some highlights but not quite 4 star material that make me dream of the baked goods.
When I arrived after the lunch hour, this place had at least 9 people just grabbing breads. There are tons of bread here… Everything from your typical white bread to the crusty Italian loaves to rustic hearth multigrain bread. The focus is definitely breads and deli meats with a few sweet offerings. Breads are baked in house daily and the prices are great. $ 0.25 for a fresh bun… deal! Or $ 1.75 for a huge crusty fresh Italian loaf!
There is a whole deli section and for a moderate sized place, it has quite the extensive selection. You can make your own amazing sandwich. Prosciutto, salami, smoked turkey, pancetta, mortadella. You name it, it’s here.
I had a filling lunch so I just grabbed a sweet snack consisting of a Portuguese custard tart and a Silician cannoli. I was told both were made that day. They were very reasonably priced at $ 1.10 each. The Portuguese tart had a nice deep brown crust that resulted in crispy flakey layers. Biting into it created little shards of pastry everywhere. It was definitely fresh but unfortunately it was light on flavour. I suspect it was made with shortening only. The centre was a perfect smooth custard that held its shape and had a few smattering of burnt sugar crust. Perfectly baked and I appreciate the restraint on the sugar. It wasn’t candy like but it was a bit light on the egg flavour. So it’s a good custard tart but not great. The cannoli was filled with a creamy ricotta and once again, good restraint on the sugar to let the flavour come through but the shell was just starting to get a bit soggy. So it had a bit of crunch but seeing this was filled earlier in the day, it was starting to get soft.
Overall, the service was pleasant and attentive. They welcomed you, proactively asked if you needed help, and smiled… This put them above other bakeries where attitudes of grumpy ladies were given to you in addition to your change.
It’s not a destination place but if this is your hood… It’s a solid bakery to go to and enjoy.

Been coming here for years. The name is Italian due to the original owners but it is now Portuguese owned. Bread is still great. Most of their cakes are made by LaRocca. Calabrese bread, cornbread, ciabatta buns, sweetbread with coconut are all proper.
Definitely a hidden gem

This place is walking distance from my house so I am a regular at this Portuguese bakery.
They have a GREAT selection of daily baked goods. Let’s not forget the deli counter and a place to sit-​down and have a nice cappuccino or sandwich.
The one thing you will hate about this place is the shared parking with the rest of the strip-​mall.
I strongly recommend giving this place a try.

Easy to say this is one of the best bakeries in Mississauga. Portuguese, I believe (b/​c of those fantastical custard tart things I’ve have eaten for breakfast/​lunch/​dinner at one time or another).
Freshly baked breads, rolls, bun, etc. and are almost always warm. Custom cakes and a fantastic deli make those living in the area very, very lucky.
Kinda sorry I moved now.
