Worst bakery I've ever seen. Walked in to be greeted by two Indian girls behind the counter giggling...that turned me off completely and should've been my cue to leave but I persisted. I asked if the baked goods are made fresh in store and the one giggly girl looked at the other giggly girl like I had asked a question from outer space. Ordered almond tarts and a lemon cheesecake. There was nothing almond-y about the almond tart unless you count the few almond slivers on the top. It tasted of artificial almond extract and was very dry, crumbly and difficult to chew. Hardly fresh. The lemon cheesecake was ok...I've had better elsewhere.
While I was paying, another customer walked in and the giggling behind the counter started again. The customer looked visibly uncomfortable and the whole thing was just awkward and embarrassing to witness.
Overpriced and subpar. Atmosphere/ambience is dark. Very cold and uninviting. Staff needs better training. The best part is I never have to come here again. 👋🏻

Visited for the first time (Whitby location). Staff were incredibly nice and very helpful. I got a sugar cannoli and some of their custard tarts, as well a club sandwich and gingerbread latte to go. The sandwich was amazing -- freshly cooked bacon and chicken. Just delicious. The coffee was very good. We had the cannoli and tarts for dessert tonight and they were FABULOUS! We will definitely be back. Wonderful first experience!

I've been here so many times. Every time is a great experience. I'm finally leaving a review because I ordered something, not even knowing what it was, and it was delicious. Great price, great food. If you're in Whitby, and you're hungry, this is the place to be.
Caldense Bakery in Whitby is an absolute treasure for pastry lovers! The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the delightful aroma of freshly baked goods. Their tarts are a must-try—rich, flavorful, and perfectly crafted, they truly stand out among the competition. The papo seco is another highlight; it's soft, fluffy, and makes for the perfect complement to any meal.
In addition to these favorites, the bakery offers a fantastic variety of other pastries that are equally impressive. From flaky croissants to decadent cakes, each item is made with high-quality ingredients and care. The staff is always friendly and ready to help you find the perfect treat. If you haven't visited Caldense Bakery yet, you're missing out on some of the best baked goods in Whitby!

Cold and absolutely zero service Save yourself the money and go to a tim hortons at least they're polite
The pastries are over breakfast.Sandwiches are passible at best Or spend ten bucks more and get treated like an actual human being or a client whose patronage is valued by going 21 of the sit down breakfast places

Eclaire wasn't fresh and almond croissant filling tasted like custard not almond paste.
I was quite disappointed.

Clean. Variety of selection. Even at the end of the day, their pastries and sweets remain fresh and delicious. Would come back and recommend!
Ps. The pastel de nata reminded us of Portugal. Delicious 👌👌
