Dont come here if you have coloured skin, because you will get gossiped about and overcharged, and you will get bad attitude and a miserable owner charging you a price that doesn't exist!! I went to get a little treat and a coffee. I ordered a cappuccino and a tiramisu in a chocolate bowl. They said that their cappuccino machine doesn't work. so I had to order something else. it was a Latina girl and the Italian woman who is the owner who spoke with me. obviously they want me to order a latter because it costs the same as the cappuccino. but I didn't come for a latte. so I ordered a hot chocolate. which costs $2 not $3.25. And the Latina girl told me that the tiramisu is $3 as she read it off the price list she had written in her pocket. So after I ate my things something scetchy went down. I had mentioned to the Latina girl that I was ready to pay ,and she herself was not doing anything not tending to any customers, and she called the owner (I was scammed like this in Italy but I didn't want to make a scene here) and told her that I was ready to pay. so she punched in $4, and I asked what that was for, and she replied it was for the tiramisu. and I said but that girl told me $3 off her list she has, and she said no it's $4 but the square is $3. and then I have no idea how much I was charged for the drink. because she typed a bunch of numbers and it said error on the cash register. on the receipt it was just the monaris receipt so it didn't show what exactly I was being charged for. the owner didn't smile and rolled her eyes and was just so miserable. she didn't even say thank you, and it wasn't because she was tired, it was because I was coloured. I watched her smile and say thank you to all the Caucasian people she served. Can someone tell me how much I was charged for the hot chocolate? because it says $2 but yet after tax with the tiramisu I was charged $6.10. so if she charged me $4 for the tiramisu then how much was the hot chocolate and the tax? As I said, if your skin is coloured be prepared...
Read moreI have ordered several cakes from this bakery, and I have been impressed with the quality. If you want a good cake, this is the place go. BUT and it is a big but, as a person of conscience I will NOT be going back to this bakery to order another pastry or cake. My last visit to the store I was ordering a cake for a family event, when 2 older middle-aged black women came to the store. They explained that they were there because they were waiting for another person. The two Italian ladies working in the store were so incredibly rude to these to people. The workers even told one of the ladies that she couldn’t use the washroom because the floor was wet. I didn’t say anything, maybe I should have, because I didn’t think it was my place. What struck about the situation was the look of disgust on the faces of the employees. I was so offended for these two older women of colour. It was disheartening When I left the store, I saw the two black women also leave. I will not be returning to this store to buy another thing because I like to think my conscience outweighs my need for...
Read moreGreat spot! It’s a hidden gem in Mississauga. Good espresso and fresh pastries. I’ve been 5+ times for a coffee and a cannoli and been satisfied every time. Being raised in a traditional Italian household and living in Mississauga my whole life I’ve tried many different European bakery’s (particularly Italian and Portuguese) in the area spanning from Oakville all the way to downtown Toronto on College St. This is a great spot and compete’s with or is better than some of the more well known spots. My wife is from South America, so I’ve had the chance to have coffee from many different countries on my travels as well. Diana Pasticceria particularly stands out to me for the coffee bean they use. The espresso is great. It’s smooth, bold and not overly bitter. They have a good machine and the service is good too, it’s an Italian bakery. You order what you want and you’re on your way. I was reading some of the other reviews…It’s not a 5 star restaurant. Don’t expect 5 star restaurant service. That’s not what this place is, it’s a bakery and a...
