Great coffee house at the corner of St-Clair+Caledonia St. It serves good coffees and many kinds of patries. Lots of comfy sitting places, and the ambiance is great. Full great and nice services. You only pay when you want to leave.

Coffe not good at all: very watery. The custard not fresh. But, what makes this place a 2 stars or even less is the service: 8 employees behind the counters chatting at eachother, doing very little work wise. And there is not table service? And the floors are dirty and the tables haven't been clean. Really bad.

Had a custom cake made for my daughter's confirmation...it was amazing: colours for the outside 👌. Cake was absolutely amazing and so fresh.
Everyone enjoyed it!!!
Employees were amazing with communicating any requests. Thank you team Nova Era.

I’m rewriting this review to be fair. I had previously left a not-so-positive review, but the staff were very kind to me, apologized, and even gave me a small gift. So I want to express here that the bakery handled my feedback very well. The food is delicious, and the staff are great.

This is a great place to have a bite or a cup of joe, good ambiance however the servers here are not the greatest, if you dont give a tip you will be ignored! Especially if your not Portuguese. I came here several times with people of different ethnicity only my group that were Portuguese was attended properly, on the other hand we were server our tea handed a menu and was not served again for over an hour and twenty minutes. We made many eye contact with this server anies and she refused to come to our table , now if you ask me to get a tip you must serve all your customers equally and attentively. If your looking for better service I recommend going to the next cafe across the way at Caledonia bakery they have better service and with a smile you will also notice your server will constantly keep and eye contact with you every 5 minutes.

Best pastel de natas in the area I go every week and have tried other spots, they don’t compare

I've been coming here for years for great portuguese products. The service was never anything to rave about but it has been a lot worse lately. During my last visit the employee seemed so miserable and annoyed... Clearly not grateful for my business so I will be taking it elsewhere- where it's appreciated.

Nova Era went above and beyond, my daughter’s custom butterfly birthday cake was all she wanted and more! Moist cake, tasty fresh strawberries inside, and the design was identical to the picture we provided. Muito Obrigada!
I ordered a greek salad with chicken delicious and excellent price for quality and quality thanks

This is my favourite cafe and bakery in Toronto. It is a large space with high windows, lots of natural light and a nice view of Earlscourt Park across the road. Very reasonable prices for the wide range of sandwiches, cakes and pastries on offer. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and help create a nice atmosphere. I've ordered their superb chocolate cake for Christmas and birthdays at home and everyone loves it. The dark rye loaves and Portugese breads are among my favourite take-home items.
Poor service. Waiting for a waitress for the longest time and 2 tables came in before my daughter and I and the waitress served them first. There are only 5 tables including my own. The waitress is clearing other tables instead of taking orders. They have so many waitresses and yet they can't handle 5 tables?
Came to the bakery on the corner and they took care of us right away.

Giving one star because the service is so consistently TERRIBLE! The staff are negligent, dismissive and unfriendly.
No one smiles at you when they come to your table. They show no urgency in taking your order or producing your order. They are also lazy as they barely wipe down the tables and certainly never check the chairs to clean and the cutlery is always dirty.
There is no standards in this place. I don't know why they continue to have regular business.
Portuguese establishments in this city have a reputation for bad service and this place is the perfect example of why.
