Famous bakery reopens with a new concept in Mississauga

A famous bakery that closed last month has reopened with a new concept in Mississauga.
Carlo’s Bakery in Port Credit closed for renovations in March.
The closure sparked concern on social media with many residents worried it had closed for good. A sign at the bakery suggested a pizza restaurant was opening in the location.
The New Jersey-based bakery opened with great fanfare in January 2022 at 167 Lakeshore Rd. W. in Port Credit. It was the first location in Canada.
The bakery is known for its rainbow (and chocolate fudge rainbow) cakes as well as carrot, cookies ‘n’ cream, red velvet, black and white, vanilla confetti and chocolate fudge flavours.
Those concerned that a pizza restaurant would replace the bakery were partly right.
