Very good place for brownies, pastries, croissants, cakes, coffee. You name it and they have it in this segment. Nice friendly staff. Very reasonably priced. Even the most difficult to please people will give it a thumbs up. Love going back again and again.

Lazar is a spacious and clean bakery and deli with a sit down area that was surprisingly busy with people enjoying pastries, donuts and coffee at 9:30 am on a Friday. I guess nobody is in a rush to get to work on a snowy Friday... well, neither was I :)
First things first, a quick summary: I tried an apple struddle. I'm a bit underwhelmed with the struddle, it wasn't as flaky as I like and is more expensive than other bakeries in the area, but it wasn't bad per se. The prices for pastries in general are a bit high, but they have a large selection of breads, pastries and desserts. The pastries and breads are fresh though, and the amount of people in here makes me think that the overall quality of food must be good so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.
A bit more in depth:
I came in the back entrance, and the first thing I saw was the large selection of breads they had. Raisin, corn, Caldense, Rye, Multigrain, they had a ton of selection of loafs and all were about $3. They had a smaller selection of buns/rolls and a handful of bagels for $0.50 each.
They also had a fairly large selection of pastries, croissants (plan, chocolate, almond), apple & cherry turnovers, struddles, donuts, churrios, assortment of tarts and other flaky pastries. These were all $2, which is more expensive than the other bakeries in the area (normally $1.25-$1.50 each). I picked up an apple struddle and I'm sorry to say I was a bit disappointed. It wasn't particularly good. It wasn't too crisp and as flaky as I like my pastries, it was rather a bit softer.
They also had a number of desserts (see my pics), cakes and tarts, cannoli ($2 for a large, I think $1.25 for a small).
The cheese and deli section was large, and I imagine this place has a lot of customers during lunch.
Also a display of cakes which liked really good, each cake was about $30 I believe.
All in all, if I'm looking for a pastry, of the bakeries I've tried in this area I'd prefer Nova Bakery which is about 5 minutes away: I had a better experience with their apple turnover and they have cheaper prices, but I'll have to go back to both shops for a more in depth comparison. Lazar does have a bigger selection than Nova though. -

This bakery is very spacious and has a good atmosphere. Reasonable price and very good size/ portion. There are multiple sections within the store, for your Portuguese food needs. On the right-back corner, are the home cooked meal section, on the left are racks of all types of bread, and in the front is a deli and seating section where you can order a cup of espresso and sandwich of your choice. The middle has the mouth watering pastries, cheese and meat. It has a good selection of pastries, bread, cakes, buns and cheese. Definitely going back again.

This is a pretty nice bakery in Mississauga City Centre. It is an Italian/Portuguese bakery. The bakery is pretty large and has dark wood decor. It has a cafe area in the front with a good amount of seating. In the back there is a hot table that usually has prepared pasta, rice, potatoes, chicken and seafood. They have a wall full of pastas, oils, olives, jarred items, sauces etc. They have a very good selection of pasteries, cakes, meats and cheeses. Breads are always fresh. I have tried the croissants, muffins and loaf cakes, don't get the loaf cake, I find them a bit dry. You can also get a bun of your choice and get a sandwich made in the deli section, which are always delicious. I definitely recommend this place for all the people that live in central Mississauga, this is a really spacious bakery, with nice decor and great selection.
