Like the idea of a traditional neighbourhood Italian bakery? You'll love this place…read more Ok, like all older Italian bakeries, they don't exactly spend a lot of time or money updating the floors or the heating or a/c systems - at this place the enormous a/c system is proudly on display at the deli meat counter. Doesn't matter, it adds to the charm. The breads are everything you could possibly want - they really are that good. Cheeses and deli meat is terrific and fresh, the homemade pizzas offer a huge selection of varieties and the cannoli......oh, the cannoli......several different kinds, all terrific. They are closed on Mondays, so plan around that. This family-run place is a wonderful little jewel in NDG. If you go, grab me a cannoli, please!

We went in lured by the Mochi bar signs plastered all over their storefront. And then realized it…read morewas a small grocery stores for frozen foods! If Whole Foods and ikea had a baby, this might be it! It's a lovely shop that's super compact in terms of so much frozen goodies stored on each aisle. We took a quick look through, and we saw a few things we might end up trying like the truffle raviolis and frozen pizzas of various flavors. Their prices were a bit steep for me like $15-20 for frozen pasta is crazy to me (I'm a simple Walmart gal, $5 value packs plz). So if I'm splurging, it should be amazeballs. In the end we just got 2 ice cream Mochis: salted caramel and litchi. My husband LOVED the litchi gobbling it down frozen and all in 2 bites. I had a nibble and most of the salted caramel. And it's alright... to be honest I just have high expectations because I love Mochi so much and have been spoiled by having fugetsu-do for so much of my life. The Mochi is very thin, and we probably should have let it thaw more. The flavor of litchi was nice, fragrant, flowery. The salted caramel left me scratching my head like why is there the flavor of big red cinnamon gum?? We'll eventually try the frozen merch but for now it's a cute lil shop and we're amazed and glad it's survived this covidpocalypse. Service is friendly, and they take covid seriously with asking ppl to use sanitizer and to wait for less ppl to be in the store at a time. All in all... to be continued!

For a Taste of Europe…read more.. Cool and Simple is a grocery store for people on the run. They carry all sorts of IMPORTED frozen goods, from spendy wagyu beef to pillowy mushroom gnocchi to wonderful ice cream (try the salted caramel with a drizzle of raspberry coulis!!!). They don't only do dinners, no; you can also get frozen croissants (or baguettes) that bake up verrry nicely in the oven. You want points with your sweetie, because fresh baked croissants for breakfast is how you make points with your sweetie! Staff are consistently friendly albeit it sometimes shy about speaking English.

I'd definitely recommend it to all as the quality of food is perfect. -:)
