Caldense Bakery

About

Caldense Bakery is a local bakery in Toronto, Ontario. You can find it at 337 Symington Avenue. In its own words: “A family-run Portuguese bakery serving the GTA since 1968, Caldense Bakery specializes in fresh breads, desserts, custom cakes, and pastel de nata.” Pastel de nata—Portugal’s iconic custard tart—originated in the early 1800s at Lisbon’s Jerónimos Monastery in Belém. Monks created the recipe using rich egg yolks combined with sugar and cream, baked inside delicate layers of flaky, laminated pastry. When monasteries were closed in the 1820s, the recipe was sold to a nearby sugar refinery. The kitchen focuses on local cooking.
