Truscott Italian Bakery & Delicatessen - Mississauga, Ontario

My go to bakery. Always fresh and well stocked bread products. Also carry other delicious products such as pastry, donuts, deli, and ready to eat foods and some grocery and frozen/ dairy. On site seating and patio also. Friendly, helpful staff.

The best canoli I've ever eaten came from this bakery. It's really amazing! Actually, all their pastries are really good. I just wish they had a nice seating area, where I could sit, have some coffee, and grab a bite.

I’ve been coming to Truscott for years and I don’t plan on returning any more. I used to come to buy their amazing cannolis and lasagnas, but I had a really bad experience recently that ruined the place for me. I called for a quote for a custom cake and they ... quoted me a price for the cakes I wanted ($65 for each custom cake). A normal cake order with whatever flavour and writing you want on top is typically $45. They charge a $20 fee if you want the cake make custom which I wanted because I was throwing an 80s/ disco themed party for two of my friends that had a birthday in the same time. I called about the design I wanted, but they weren’t understanding what I wanted and suggesting coming in the store to show the customer cake guy some photos and discussing what I wanted. So I agreed to come in, and the first time I show up, they are too busy and tell me to come back another time. I come back another time and he finally has a chance to discuss my order. (Good thing I came 3 weeks early to start ordering the cake) I showed him photos of silver cakes with glitter and a lot of pipping work (monochromatic) that I wanted for one. The other cake I wanted all white but same pipping work. (Included reference photo in review) He said no problem and that he could also add Italian black cherries instead of the red fake cherries they normally use in other bakeries. I said great! Was excited for the cakes. They turned out nothing like the reference photos and did not even include the cherries he talked about at all! He also ruined the monochromatic look by adding colour that didn’t match the cakes. The pipping work was non existent. (You can judge for yourself by the photos) There would’ve been nicer pipping work done on a Costco slab cake than on this one. Not to mention that it also tasted like one. If I knew I was going to get that quality of a cake, I would’ve never ordered and just opted for Costco to get the same look - or paid the same money and actually have gotten cakes at a better bakery. I called the bakery about my issue and spoke with the owner about what had happened and they said they would talk with the custom cake guy before calling me back. The custom cake guy calls me about a week or two later after I had sent a fully documented email about the situation to try to gaslight me about the cakes. We rediscussed what had happened and he only offered me “something” the next time I come in since they could not offer a refund. I do not plan on coming back so I will never see that money back. Completely disappointing experience. And I just wanted to mention that I like everything else they do like their cannolis and lasagnas and grocery. But because of this expensive negative experience, I can’t bring myself to ever return. Do not order their cakes if you expect anything better than grocery store or Costco quality! Update: the owner and cake designer offered me a discount if I ever came back to pouches anything to make it up to me. I told them I have no intention of returning to spend more money, but if they were comfortable I told them I could send my mom to use the discount as she rarely treats herself to bakery pastries. They told me, “not a problem,” she can come in and pick something out. I asked them to specify what the discount would be so that my mom would know what to expect when she would go in. They would not tell me and said that she can ask the manager when she goes in. My mom went and they guilted her out of purchasing anything due to this review. Instead of leaving a better impression, they wasted both mine and now my mother’s time again. What a waste and no sense of customer service. No respect for a customer loyalty and life time value. As someone who was going here for years before, I’ve advised all my friends and family to never purchase from here again. After reading several reviews, it seems like this is a common issue with their custom cakes and the guy who is in charge of them. There are so many more better bakeries around. Anything else is better than this. Read more

My daughter lived their homemade Alfredo. And the desserts are just incredible. Everything is just so beautiful you can't pick just 1 dessert. it's all so delicious

I have been here many times and it has never wowed me, nor did I feel any urge to review, and today, after the most disgusting lobster tail pastry experience, I am reviewing. I do not know if they bake every day, and I understand if they wouldn’t given the ... cost of everything , however, if it is old, don’t sell it. Perhaps you should taste your baked goods before selling. This lobster tail pastry was embarrassing. The ‘custard’ had become a gelatinous goo that was so salty that you weren’t sure if it was meant to be sweet. This is not the first time I have had aged pastries from this place. It was disappointing. Read more
