Nova Era Bakery

I was really excited to try the savoury finger food items from this Bakery so went here for Brunch. The savoury items that we tried this time - Chicken Balls; Cod Fish Rolls; Spinach Feta Lattice Danish & Cheese Croissant were very cold so didn’t taste as great as expected. The taste would have been so much better if they had heated up these items before serving. They staff was definitely running around a lot as they were very busy and did not offer to heat up our food. I’d definitely recommend to get a takeout and heat the savoury items at home to enjoy. I’ve tried their desserts before and they are pretty good.

I absolutely love this bakery! We visited three times in a week because we were attending a tradeshow. The breakfast and lunches we had were fresh, prompt and very good value for money. We were also treated with a custard tart which was to die for. The staff was lovely. This is an absolute gem for the area.

I ordered a club sandwich, a BLT, sausage roll, chocolate croissant along with latte and cappuccino. I ordered a caramel pudding also. The food was so yummy. But the service was very poor.

I ordered a 10 dollar veggie sandwich which when I arrived was the complete wrong sandwich, was charged 2.50 extra for cheese which wasn't on the sandwich. When I mentioned they placed the wrong toppings on it, they just picked off the wrong toppings 'the best they could'. I am very disappointed as I've had great sandwiches here but after this experience I will not be returning or recommending to anyone.

They are extremely slow. I counted 5 staff last time and it took 30 mins to get our order. Some also have a hard time understanding your order. My food was not even warmed as we order shrimp empanadas and croquettes.Coffee was ok. We ordered a capuccino and it was nothing special. It is best ro buy the food to go. Do not eat there

Lovely breakfast place and service were so kind and friendly. The butter tart is to die for. We also tried spinach Feta cheese Danish, which was delicious as well. The croissants were slightly heavy, but a little bit butter is always welcome. Another suggestion is to go for fruit tart and apple turnover. The price is regular. One can enjoy the breakfast there with family or by one self.

I walked up the street to come and have a cup of Chai latte as I was craving it. The atmosphere is casual, and it can get too crowded. The service was prompt but wouldn't say friendly. They have a nice variety of baked goods. I had a custard triangle, which is not too sweet, my fav when I come here.I ordered medium Chai Latte, which was the worst in terms of presentation, the tea bag hanging outside the cup, no foam. I was just put off by that. No care was taken in preparation of the drink. I could have made a better one at home. If you're picky like me, this is not the place for you to come and get fancy hot beverages.

My first impression walking in an hour before closing was that it wasn’t that busy as there was 3 people ahead in line and 2 others dining while there was about 7 empty tables. I had noticed 4-5 employees crowding each other in and out the door to the back and the register area. Assessing the quick transaction of the 1 customer seconds after I walked in, the line moved inches thereafter. You couldn’t help but feel the clock ticking in your head, that quickly moves to your leg shifting spasms and the itch to start looking at your watch. With 1 hour till close, and the noticeable amount of employees, you do start questioning the wait with 2 ahead of yourself and only 2 others already seated and been dining with their empty coffees and leftover treats chatting. I did not notice a rush of cleaning tables, or anyone else being extra treated in any way, only the busy bees of employees crowding each other behind the counter while walking in and out from the back. While my mind had the time to question all these things in line and had already quickly decided what I had wanted moments after I had walked in,…oh sorry, I couldn’t tell you what it was. Because there was no names on any of the delicious looking treats. I did enjoy the look of all the treats, that wasn’t out of stock. I’m guessing this is an established that you must arrive very early for to be able to have a better selection to choose from, as I did hear about their sugar donuts, and this day one hour before closing I had hoped to try them out. Unfortunately I was out of fortune, and had to settle for something less, that of course was when I got to the counter after the wait (I say “wait” and not “line” here, because it was only 2 people ahead, and the kicker? I also noticed that first customer was waiting to be served still..ya) Eventually there was some employee shift that quickly and suddenly happened and the counter was serving. Arrival to the counter you first notice what I’d say is a medium-large tip container. I was greeted by a wonderful employee named Julia (I hope I had heard right) they were pleasant and efficient and also greeted and served with a smile. When asked what I had wanted, I had to describe and point as I did not know what to call it. Back when I was in the line, remember those days? When the first customer in the line got served eventually, he had to point and describe as well, and this nearly caused him to knock the phone out of the hands of one of the customers. Just saying, labels can stop the anarchy. I had originally been told about the poor service from the employees here and the lack of any smiles. So thought I’d stop by since I was in the area, and overall I must say the wait in line was obviously too long, especially with the amount of employees behind the counter, and short line. Delicious looking treats, the one I had was fantastic! Couldn’t tell you what it was called. I did notice a lack of smiles, but having said that Julia appeared out of nowhere at the moment I arrived to the counter and delivered great service with a smile. So this establishment can thank Julia and the amazing treats for at least receiving 3 stars ✨ I look forward to trying out in the future again.

Nice bakery, good for all age groups. Especially for breakfast/brunch. Lots of choices available, if early.
