This cozy bakery and cafe has freshly baked pastries and delicious desserts. Fluffy croissants, moist decadent cakes, and savoury rolls fill the display cabinets and are no more than about $10.
It has a range of gluten-free options too, so the world is your oyster.
Bursting with flavour, choose from almond croissants, gluten-free frittata, cinnamon rolls, or birthday cake rolls for less than $8.
It offers cookies such as confetti, white chocolate-lavender London fog, or Shrek cookies for $3.25 apiece. It also has pop-tarts, cupcakes, cakes, parfaits, and pies too.
Savoury options include “sausage” rolls, pizza rolls with “bacun,” and quiches, which will set you back about $7.50.
We decided on a spinach ricotta roll made with flora forage ricotta, and a chocolate Oreo cupcake made with vanilla buttercream. The total was $12.10, GST inclusive.
This spot has plenty of seating available inside and out, with a pup-friendly patio, too. You can see the magic happen inside, with a large open-concept baker’s kitchen.
Canela Bakery & Cafe showcases incredible creativity with its plant-based baking. It uses wholesome ingredients that result in absolute deliciousness.
