Their arancini was good. Had one with a veal sandwich with the mushroom sauce thingy, shared with my sister. The arancini was so good that I had to buy two more to take home and a box of assorted cookies. Try their biscotti! Can't wait to go back!

I have always passed by Francesca Bakery, but it was never enticing enough for me to walk in.
I was pleasantly surprised when I stepped into the bakery for the first time, as the store front was deceptively all covered up. There was a rack of freshly made bread and pastries. As I walked closer to the long glass display, there were rows of cookies, small cakes, chocolate and macarons, all looking so delicious. There is also a hot food section and meals made to order. A cappuccino machine is just around the corner. There is also a small eating area if you wish to eat in.
In the freezers, there are different cake size selection, starting at $18 for a small. It is definitely something I would want to try, as I'm a sucker for cake.
Definitely WILL be back to try out those yummy cakes.Listed in: 30-Day Yelp Challenge:…

I wasn't too thrilled about my experience at Francesca despite the long loyalty by customers in Scarborough. My order, a sicilian brioche, cannoli and espresso were just passable and the customer service(grumpy black-haired woman) was weak.
The Sicilian brioche was more a cinnamon flavoured donut than the actual rich bun its meant to be and the cannoli was infused with a ricotta filling that was much more sugary than it was creamy.
While I wouldn't write this off completely, I don't think I'll be coming here in a hurry.
2.5 Stars. -

Prosecco pear dessert is absolutely delicous.
Rice ball super yummy. Nice and crunchy with lots of cheese and meat which is nicely seasoned.
I was there too late in the day so the bread selection was limited. -

Francesca Bakery has been around for ages, located in a strip plaza on McCowan just south of Sheppard.... I don't even remember how long.
They did some renovating lately so it does has a more modern look from the outside.. If you driveby you won't even notice it is a bakery! OK even if you park your car right in front of the store you still not sure if it is open or what inside! Since all the storefronts are covered up... but when you step inside you will see display cases of yummy, pretty looking pastries..
There are a good selections of different individual serving of cakes which are priced around $3.75.. and they all so cute and pretty...and the one that I ordered taste as good as it looks!
There are a little area with tables on the side that you can eat your cake and drink your coffee.. Freshly made cappuccino($2.50) served in proper glassware goes well with all the sweet!
They accepts Visa, Mastercard and Interac for purchase over $5 -

The BEST cake to buy at Francesca Italian Bakery & Delicatessen is the
Mocha Cappuccino Cheesecake !!!
It is a cheesecake decorated with Mocha Cappuccino flavored cream .
Delicious and highly recommended.
Good for Mother's Day, birthday, etc.
Occasionally, you might see it in the display case but it is better to phone and ask if they have it .
Most likely, you will have to order this cake if you want it.
They also make good round Yogurt Cakes (cakes without cream).
Not always available.
Try Friday to Sunday.
They also sell bread, bread buns, cold-cuts and hot foods like lasagna, pizza, etc. There are tables and chairs so you can sit and eat. -

Another one of those Italian Cafes & Bakery that COVERS all their windows up. Don't they ever think it makes them more suspicious? Don't they think they will deter walk-in customers? Good thing I'm a regular to most sketchy spots, I'm from Scarborough and this place is here.
Inside was Breads to the left, Individual & Whole Cakes on the right, Pastries & Cooks to the right, and roughly 5 varieties of Basic Gelato flavours to the right. No decor to speak of and plenty of ITALIAN women busy doing their thing and having good fun conversations on their own.
Sicilia($3.25) Cake is available in individual format or Whole format. This Pistachio Bavarois, Orange Pastry Cream with Almond Meringue and Almond Genoise has the consistency of a PISTACHIO Creme Brulee and was not too sweet. Cappuccino($2.50) went well with the dessert.Listed in: Desserts - Western
