Three big new restaurants have opened in one place in Mississauga – particularly exciting for foodies who love sweet desserts and delicious baked goods.
Multiple new spots recently opened at Heartland Town Centre: organic chocolate café Chocolate and Love, gourmet doughnut shop Frenchie’s Doughnuts, and popular bakery Panera Bread which has reopened with a brand new menu.
The new restaurants are three of many popular shops and eateries currently located at Heartland Town Centre, the city’s biggest outdoor shopping centre spanning 2,200,000 sq. ft at Mavis and Britannia.
Here’s what each spot has to offer:
Chocolate and Love
5985 Rodeo Dr
Originating in Switzerland, Chocolate Love is a global brand known for their delicious organic chocolate bars in multiple varieties including milk, dark, and vegan chocolate. Their chocolate comes in a wide variety of flavours such as mint, orange, coffee, and sea salt & caramel, and the café also offers chocolate gift boxes, specialty desserts, and drinks. They’re also known for their premium café experience, offering a cozy, inviting atmosphere that’s perfect for chocolate lovers.
Chocolate and Love aims to use only the highest quality cacao and ingredients when making their chocolate, as well as Fairtrade practices and environmentally friendly packaging including FSC-certified paper and plastic-free inner wrappers. Their commitment to quality has propelled the brand to international success, with numerous cafés in over 30 countries around the world.
Frenchie’s Doughnuts
6045 Mavis Rd
Toronto-based doughnut shop Frenchie’s Doughnuts has opened their widely anticipated second location in Mississauga. This popular bakery is known for their artisan doughnuts available in a huge selection of one-of-a-kind flavours, including s’mores, apple pie, raspberry lemonade, strawberry cheesecake, and even some seasonal holiday flavours, with all doughnuts made fresh to order.
For those who love options, the shop also lets you customize your doughnuts exactly to your liking, from your pick of various icings (made in-house using real fruit and no additives) and sugary sweet toppings like fresh fruit, M&Ms, Oreo chunks and more. Shoppers can grab a freshly roasted Frenchie’s coffee with their doughnuts, or get an entire bag to make at home. Frenchie’s also offers catering, ready to sweeten any event by bringing their delicious doughnuts right to your venue.
Popular baker Panera Bread has finally reopened at Heartland with a new location, new look and a revamped menu that’s more akin to the bakery’s US locations. What hasn’t changed is Panera Bread’s wide array of delicious pasties, bagels, brownies, cookies, croissants, muffins and scones, all freshly prepared daily.
Aside from the bakery section, Panera continues to offer an extensive menu of dine-in or takeout options: Soups, Salads, Sandwiches, Mac and Cheese, as well as coffee, espresso drinks, frozen drinks, fruit smoothies, iced drinks, lattes, lemonade and tea.
The new restaurants join a family of over 300 top retailers and services and popular restaurants at Heartland Town Centre, making the shopping centre one of the city’s best spots to shop and grab a bite to eat.
