This has to be my favourite local café in Chippawa! I absolutely love their cold Korean coffees in the summer! Today I tried their mango cold drink and it was so tasty - made with fresh mangoes and topped with real mango chunks. Their sandwhiches are all great (yes, I've tried all 4 of them) and they are served on beautiful, fluffy croissants and absolutely packed with yummy ingredients. Today I shared the basil pesto (with added egg and ham) and the chicken salad sandwhich. You gotta try their sweet almond buns with a sweet cheese filling! They are in an awesome location and I really enjoy bringing my treats to eat by the river and docks just a short walk away. But probably the best part of this place, is the super sweet woman who prepares our drinks and sandwhiches - you can tell she makes and serves everything with love. I love taking my out-of-town guests here for a drink and sandwich (rather than to a generic chain coffee place) and they always enjoy their special and unique...
Read moreI stumbled upon Catalina's Bakery and instantly fell in love—not just with the desserts and coffee, but with the owner, Jaewon, herself. She is so sweet and welcoming, it genuinely adds to the entire experience. You can tell she pours her heart into everything she makes, and her warmth makes the whole visit feel extra special.
The coffee? Rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced—the kind that makes you pause and savor after the first sip. And the desserts? Oh, where do I even begin. Every pastry, tart, and cookie is a work of art, both in flavor and presentation. You can really taste the high quality in every bite. Jaewon’s creations are not just treats; they’re little moments of joy.
Catalina's Bakery is a rare gem, where both the food and the atmosphere feel like a warm hug. Whether you're looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a coffee or craving something sweet, this place has it all. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious treats and a genuinely kind,...
Read morePassed in front of the exercise with my girlfriend and from the outside for some reason we thought the place would have warmed our hearts. Found out with great pleasure that I was right, Catalina has been very nice with us and the place emanates some kind of magic once you're inside —it was cozy and familiar and the atmosphere created by her and who I suppose were her two daughters was very sweet. The ham and eggs brioche bun toasts served to us were great, and upon request for mandarins —which only later I discovered were only for ambient decoration and out of menu— she also served us mandarin and apple treats. Hope she won't run out of mandarins due to people asking for such, but it is just to express what kind of good and sweet climate you breath in the place. Last but not least (be warned) Catalina herself is of a rare fun that needs no words to be transmitted....
