Review from Rita E.
What could be more enticing than a 6-foot-tall rack filled with Portuguese Egg Tarts.... TWO racks filled with Portuguese Egg Tarts. Yes, my peeps... TWO racks.
I primarily come to La Rose for those trays filled with sweet, smooth gelatinous custard in light flaky puff pastry cups. Suh-weet! For me, the vanilla flavor and carmelized tops liken these tarts to creme brulee--not eggy at all. Even though you don't get the satisfaction of breaking through that solid caramel layer, this is a treat you can eat with your hands. Never overburnt. Always delicious.
I know that I can never have just one. You can fill your own boxes to go. With 6 to a case, I'm a happy camper. I usually can't get them right out of the kitchen, so I reheat them when I get home. A couple of seconds in a microwave and we are good to go.
La Rose Bakery does more than portuguese egg tarts, of course. They have a great meat and cheese section. If you're lucky, you might even come in when they have free samples. They also have hot and cold food ready to eat or for take-out, snacks and Italian desserts, your usual fruits and veggies, and tons of other European items. There's even a garden section for you greenthumbs.
La Rose Italian Bakery is such a great establishment here in Milton. I hope it's not too much of a temptation for the folks coming out of the gym nextdoor... but it probably is.
*Other faves: Biscotti, any hot pasta esp. the tortelinnis, imported cheeses! -

I think I was Italian in a previous life.
Only because I have family in the area and through their recommendations did I find this place. I have never seen such a wide selection of oils in my life. I also adore that they carry some Brit products as well!
The breads and sweets are out of this world. I try to make a stop at La Rose everytime I visit my family in Milton!Listed in: Push the Grocery Cart

A friend recommended the tiramisu at this bakery and I'm glad he did! I was able to buy a cake immediately, no wait, and they decorated it beautifully, with delicate chocolate butterflies and a fancy ribbon with chocolate writing. All my guests enjoyed it, as did I. They have a beautiful catalogue of wedding cakes and a great selection of larger cakes for parties.
The local Milton paper advertises the specials, which are always worth the trip. At times, the produce is much cheaper than your regular grocery store and the quality of the produce is always better than average. They don't seem to stock up though, so don't expect all sale items to be available all the time.
If you're looking for something different, they have a great selection of deli meats and cheeses. The bakery also offers unique products such as loaves of bread infused with eggplant or red peppers. The regular kaisers are a great price and the freshness will last a few days, if stored properly.
Unfortunately, La Rose is not located downtown Milton. Nor is it located near anything else useful, but it's worth the trip. -

La Rose is a great Milton store. It's one of the few places that I wake up early and rush out to so I can get some of the fresh Portuguese rolls, and other fresh breads on the morning.
They cater to various European speciality foods, so if I have a hard time finding a certain item, I can often find it at La Rose. -

One of my favourite stores in Milton. I'm there every weekend for either bread or anything else that i can find to bring some Italian flare to my kitchen. If you are looking for great, well priced Italian/European foods, this is the place.
