Located in the heart of Little Italy, Riviera Bakery is a neighbourhood hangout. While the friendly staff and local vibe get customers through the doors, it’s the freshly baked bread, and pastries that keep them coming back for more. There is a pretty big coffee menu as well.
No matter what you feel like eating, a visit here will make you feel happy and satisfied. The sandwiches have a strong Italian influence, with options like spicy sausage, meatballs and roast chicken. Follow your sandwich with a selection from the dessert menu. Try the rich and flavourful blueberry cheesecake or something lighter like a cannoli. Be sure to order an Americano, too.
They retail coffee beans with a history here. The Sicilian-based Moak brand nods towards the ancient Moors’ love of coffee by taking the old Arabic word for the name of the city where it is treated – Modica. They produce organic and eco-friendly coffee at a plant powered by photovoltaics, so you can grind your Moak beans with a smile. Also, you can’t have Italian coffee without a pastry, and this bakery offers a great selection.
