    Really excellent sandwiches. Not fancy, really, but wonderful breads, fresh ingredients, great flavor.

    a chocolate birthday cake
    Iman M.

    I came in looking for a cake to take home for a friend's birthday. As soon as I walked in, I noticed the really friendly service from everyone working. In the midst of the current pandemic, everyone is a little on edge so I appreciated the service even more! They had a few different cakes to choose from and I ended up picking this beautiful raspberry chocolate cake. They wrote a message on the cake for me and I was in and out within 5 minutes. The price was also great (smaller cakes are $22 and the larger ones are $35). Unfortunately, I didn't get to try the cake but my friend said it was amazing. Definitely looking forward to coming back when times are better!

    An amazing peach danish, the custard isn't too sweet so the fruit becomes the star. So good!

    We were having dinner at a friends place around the and was searching for a pie as dessert. I'm so glad we stumbled onto this little neighborhood gem!! They had a whole shelf of pies with an assortment of fillings, and the service was very patient as we mulled over our choices. We settled on the blueberry pie and it was definitely a hit at the dinner. They also have a wide variety of baked goods, from scones to bread to meals (I saw someone having soup). The peach danish looked so good that we had it as a pre-dinner snack. The pastry was light, the custard was generous and the peach was juicy. I haven't had such a good danish in ages! Will be back if I'm ever in the neighborhood again.

    Egg Salad!
    Daniel B.

    On a nice sunny day I was walking around the Bloor West looking for something to eat. I decided on a staple, Bread and Roses, for the homemade Egg Salad Sandwich. Upon entering you walk into cramp quarters, the counter feature a glass window showcasing of all the bake goods. Once you walk in you can smell the fresh bread and pies. Expect a line up during lunch. Unfortunately the line can be slow but, the Sandwich is being made fresh. I order my Egg Salad Sandwich. Unfortunately they only had Whole Wheat left. The bread was still sliced fresh. It was topped with fresh lettuce and mayo. The bread was so soft and the crust had some crisp. The egg salad was nice and creamy. This is definitely one of my favorite places for a sandwich. I didn't get one this visit but, the bake goods are great, especially the pie!

    Bread & Roses Bakery Cafe has a great vibe and a great selections of baked goods. Sweet, Sweet, Sweet and More Sweet! Plain Croissants - Not bad, not buttery enough! I can tell when it is not too flaky and crisp when I tearing it apart! Cookies - soft and chewy cookies... great little bite size... Chocolate Macaroons - intensive coconut sweetness... a little too sweet for my taste, but my friend seems to enjoy that! Great to have one of this with a strong cup of coffee The servers are all so friendly and helpful. Large seating area if you want to eat in... even when I buy that one Macaroon she was nice enough to ask me if I want to have it to stay!

    Soup, sandwiches & Black Forest cake

    Always an amazing experience at Bread & Roses. Have been coming here for years. MUST TRY: Creamy cucumber soup & potato bread

    The coffee: I ordered a decaf so they had to make it for me. It was one of the best coffee I ever had, miles above Starbucks. I even suspected they mistakenly give me a regular coffee but I slept well at night so. The carrot cake: good quality, tasted great, lots of nuts and not too sweet. It's solid and soft at the same time. The service: all smiles and a lot of attention. They didn't have decaf ready so they made one specifically for me. The price: $5.6. Inexpensive to say the least.

    It is always a competition between bread&rose to hot even. Every time I judge by smell and bread&rose wins mostly of the time. The must-try, hidden gem is actually the potato bread which is not always available. If you see this message and looking for some bread to bring it home. Get the potato bread when it lasts.

    Stopped in last week because I had a MASSIVE sugar craving and I really really wanted a brownie. Bread & Roses delivered! My brownie was decadently sweet. The icing was luscious and though I made a mess eating it, it was a mess I gladly licked clean. I bought my roommate a fruit tart because it looked so beautiful (I secretly wanted to eat both but stopped myself). I'm super happy to live close to here and will be fulfilling my sugar cravings here again soon.

    Butter tart with pecans and coconut macaroon

    If you love pumpkin pie, this is the place to go! When I was new in Toronto I googled the best pumpkin pies in TO to complete my Thanksgiving meal. And I am so glad I did. From the moment I tasted this pumpkin pie a few years back, I've been coming back every year for more. Their butter tarts and coconut macaroons are also delicious! The only drawback is that they only offer the pumpkin pie seasonally and the washrooms at this location are very unfresh so I always take my things to go.

    Apple and cheese Danish, not too sweet and crispy and light
    Heather C.

    Came here at the recommendation of a friend. It was quite good. It's quite busy, but the selection of pastries is good. They are light and not overly sweet, not the best I've ever had, but still super yummy! Make sure they know you're in line because they sometimes can't tell between the people who are still looking and people who want to order. Soups are quite underwhelming, other food doesn't look super appetizing...it's all about the pastries!

    Almond Toffee Latte, very yummy :)
    Anita S.

    There's certainly not a lot to complain about, I truly enjoyed my experience here and honestly can't wait till the next time I'm in this neighbourhood and can visit again. I give it a 4.75. The staff was really friendly and although they didn't have one of tye ingredients to make the drink that I wanted to order, the lady was willing to accommodate and made my drink completely customized! It was quite busy when I arrived and as a matter of fact, it was busy for the entire 5 hours I was there doing homework (works out great that their Wi-Fi is reliable). Every time I looked up from my seat there was a line up at the door, maybe it's because it was a Saturday? Theres a huuuggeee selection of breads and pastries to choose from, all of which looked absolutely delicious! They also serve sandwiches, bagels and soup. The obly negative is that I saw their prices looked a liiitttllee in the pricey side, but they did look like quality sandwiches, so maybe it's worth the premium.

From the hostess to the waitstaff. All very polite and welcoming. We observed them with other guests and they seemed very patient with the loud kids...and adults to be fair. LOL We had the big skillet both days as well as the breakfast sandwich. While there were some variances, we enjoyed both experiences. The first visit was better in my opinion - the potatoes were tender and not overcooked and my fruit cup didn't have a lot of cantaloupe. I have shared pictures of the menu as well. We had sparkling water and diet cola both times. Our beverages never ran dry. There is an upstairs that overlooks the first floor dining area. We wondered if anyone had ever spilled a beverage that landed on guests below. We could definitely see the possibility of that happening. They also had a nice patio, however, on the hotter days, not sure how enjoyable the city smell would be while trying to eat. Interesting - they only had one bathroom. So we observed a line. And there are tables right next to the door. I would avoid those seats if possible. A little too close to the restroom in my opinion. If we are in the area again, we would definitely eat here again, although they may be at the new location if we visit in the future. I look forward to seeing the upgraded features at the new location.

Pierina guided us via phone and even came outside of the restaurant and waved as we approached. That was awesome Customer service as well as kindness. Ambiance was chill inside. Especially liked the artwork and table with their name on it. I had the Nutella latte, Nutella and strawberry waffle, and a side of sausage. Didn't like the sausage at all (tasted a bit gamey) but that's probably because ein the states there are nitrates, etc that make it taste better. No biggie! She switched it out for bacon, and that was fine and appreciated. My sister had the breakfast tacos that looked delicious and she really enjoyed. All in all this was a great pick and I would return when im Canada ever again and I'm in the area. Keep up the great work, Pierina. Her welcoming attitude attentiveness and knowledge of the menu was stellar and warrants recognition. Thank you!!!

The almond croissant, when you're lucky enough to claim one before nine, delivers a genuinely impressive balance of shattering, buttery layers and a filling laced generously with almond cream, more Parisian in spirit than most bakeries attempting the same feat across this city. Even the raspberry version, when available, carries the same confident hand in the kitchen. The coffee program deserves equal praise. A well pulled latte and a properly balanced cappuccino suggest a team that treats espresso with the same seriousness as their pastry case, and it shows in the cup. Where the experience finds room to grow is in the choreography of the space itself. The room is petite, charming in its cobalt blue framed way, but the flow between ordering and pickup can feel cramped during a rush, and seating fills quickly. The patio, however, is a genuine reward, a shaded perch worth claiming on a slow afternoon. This is a cafe operating with real ambition and skill, let down only occasionally by its own popularity. Arrive early, claim a croissant while you still can, and settle onto the patio; you'll leave understanding exactly why regulars keep coming back.

Partly this is the best place for the area.. This is an all day Brunch place, popular so you either need to make a reservation on a weekday or else get here before 9am on weekends. Lots of different benedicts to choose from, pancakes and french toast options. Hefty "American" sized portions keep you full. Food tastes clean and delicious. Lots of variety too- and also cool options if you cant choose between hearty or sweet ( eggs/bacon vs pancakes /french toast.

The line moved quick, even though it wrapped around, we waited for about 20 minutes only. The menu has some cool items, a few fusion dishes and trendy items. Awesome presentation and definitely Instagram worthy. I got the huevos rancheros, it was more like an egg burrito with beans, sauce and potatoes on top. The potatoes were probably my favourite out of everything. It was good but not the traditional you would expect. My friends sadly did not like their eggs benedict. The coffee was also average, not very strong or fragrant. Service was absolutely terrible. Our sever took so long to come, we see him just chatting in the corner. It was hard to flag him down for anything. It was not a nice experience. The menu does have some other cool items I do want to try (pancakes and french toast)... so maybe I will give it another shot if I am in the area one day.

Food (3.5/5) - the menu is a combination of small and large plates ideal for sharing.

This was pretty good, romaine was fresh and sauce not too overpowering with a slight kick to it. - Coconut Shrimp with mango salsa, lime, chipotle aioli. Also pretty good... shrimp was cooked fine and the garnishes worked with it. - Tuna Ceviche with avocado, cilantro, corn, red onions, leche de tigre, cancha, plantain. This one was average. The sashimi chunks were pretty average and the overall mix seemed to lack flavour and moistness. - Hamachi Crudo with avocado, elderflower, pickled strawberry, jalapeño, pistachio, basil, olive oil. This was one pretty bad... some of the worst hamachi I have ever had! Overly fishy and off-colour. Service (4/5) - server and assistants were friendly and generally attentive. Some lapses in check ins from time to time. Rooftop is first come, first serve so a reservation does not mean you will be seated quickly and may have to hang out in the interior bar or tables until ready. Atmosphere (4.75/5) - you really cannot top the view from Kost. It has multiple look out areas besides the patio dining area by the infinity pool. They have a raised photo pedestal which is ideal to take pictures with the Tower, Rogers Centre and lake in the background. They also have some trendy couches and sitting areas as well. The interior dining area is also pretty good with window views outside and a California vibe to it. Overall (4/5) - Yes, the food is on the average side for the price. However, it really is a great atmosphere for dining, even if sitting inside. It is a bucket list destination at a minimum and worth a repeat imo.
