Nova Era Bakery Pastry

The last week or so I've been a slave to every food craving I've had. Today I was jonesin' for some sweets, so I hit up the Nova Era bakery at Bloor and Dovercourt. It's one of the highlight of the Portuguese/Caribbean/African Bloor west strip (between Ossington and Dufferin).

I had a cannoli and a custard tart (very typical Portuguese thing), and two cups of coffee (total $6.43). The stuff is pretty tasty and not too sweet. There's an awesome selection of pastries, from donuts and tarts to cakes and flaky type things, and they're all in the $1.50 range. It would be pretty easy to put back three or four items -- no sweat.

The place also has sandwiches, for about $3.50, ($4 for proscuitto), which is a killer deal. There's actually seven Nova Era locations around Toronto, in pretty much every Portugese/Little Italy type 'hood (College/St. Clair/Dundas yadda).
