    Turkey bacon sub
    Mary T.

    Grandma Loves You! The owners of this eatery truly do. I've been to their original location in Rosedale a handful of times. I have loved everything that I have consumed, from its subs, to its croissants. The owners, Artin and Sarah, treat your like family. Even when they are extremely busy, they will take the time to chat with you and see how you're doing. They'll give you a hug to let you know that you matter. It's probably the most unique relationship that I have had with owners and a fine business. They opened their second location in Chefs Hall. Between their Rosedale location and this downtown one, the latter is more convenient for me. I tend to be in the area more for concerts. So, it's perfect to park where I normally do at the Ernst and Young building and walk briefly over to Chefs Hall to get my sandwich fix. My sub is the meatball and cheese. You get the best meatball with cheese with every bite. It is the best meatball sub that I have ever had. I've also had the French hot dog here. I love the rectangular slab of brie that you get with the hot dog, along with blueberry jam. All these items work so well together. It's delicious and such a unique combination for a hot dog. The dessert croissants are a must. If you're full, go order one to consume an hour later. It's so worth it. My favourite is the German chocolate cream and banana croissant. It's heavenly! The croissant is flaky and yummy. Pair it with chocolate cream and thinly sliced bananas to make this dessert croissant look and taste fancy. It's a touch sweet, but not enough to get a sugar high and crash moments later. Staff here are always cheerful and nice. I normally pay with a credit card and have had no issues. Chefs Hall has plenty of places to sit down and eat. I've done it a couple of times with my GLY orders. It's the perfect for me to grab a bite to eat before a concert. I love GLY equally as much as GLY back. =) (298)

    I have been going to their Rosedale location before they opened up their new location inside the Chef's Hall and I have been in love with their cold cut sandwiches, hot sandwiches, Rye Bread (Club) sandwiches and great variety of hotdogs. They really care about their customers and providing them with best service and high quality food. There's nothing on their menu that I don't recommend; once you try one their sandwiches, you won't stop until you've tried everything on their menu.

    Brighten your day with tasty sandwiches from Grandma Loves You. Have you heard the exciting news? GLY now has a new downtown location in Chefs Hall. This eatery has wonderful European delights. Hence it's ranked among the best in Toronto for its sandwiches, hotdogs & croissant. Among the wide assortment, this time I ordered & enjoyed both the Spicy Ham Cold Cut and the Meatball & Cheese sandwich. German chocolate cream & banana croissant was such a flakey yet decadent dessert to end the savory meal with a sweet treat. A visit to GLY is like visiting an old friend, as the owners make it an amazing meal experience. Definitely check out this new location!

    I've been to their Yonge St location several times throughout years 2020 to 2022. This was my first visit to their downtown location at Chef's Hall. This location opened on 2023-03-13. It is a food stall inside a large food hall. I've tried several of their hotdogs, sandwiches, cookies, donuts, and drinks over the various previous visits. Their food is well-made and very delicious. Yelp has named Grandma Loves You as number 1 in "Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat in 2022 and 2023"! Congratulations! This time we ordered the following: 1. French Dog ($9.49). Brie cheese, blueberry jam. 2. Meatball & Cheese Hot Sandwich (small $12.99). Homemade tomato sauce, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion. The customer service has always been excellent at every visit. The owners are such nice people. There are many hotdogs. Each one is named after a country. There are some interesting toppings for each one. Or you can create your own hotdog. You never know if they will name your creation after a country! The French Dog is my favourite hot dog. Brie is my favourite cheese, especially when combined with a blueberry jam; it creates a great colour contrast. And there is a generous amount of brie! Perfection! This was the first time I ordered the Meatball & Cheese sandwich. It is a sub and the meatballs was subtly spiced which is better than the typical meatball. They also sell croissants as their dessert. The other location has so many more dessert items. They have been open since Apr 2019. Artin and Sarah are husband and wife owners. They had a similar restaurant in Germany since 2015, under the same name but in the German language. There is free WiFi via the Chef's Hall WiFi. The place is wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/male washrooms in the food hall, and they are wheelchair accessible. There are some paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2023-113

    Opps, I got too hungry and took a bite!

    I've been ordering off of Ritual having discovered that GLY was in the Chef's Hall! I definitely prefer the original location, the sandwiches just seem to taste better. I've tried their spicy ham sandwiches, gourmet hot dogs and just need to try the sweet croissant creations. The staff are friendly and prepare the food quickly so that you can enjoy the sandwiches asap!

    i split a 12-inch ($10 each) chefs choice and it was genuinely very good, filling too. no notes

    Ham and turkey sandwich.
    Victoria P.

    They serve HUGE sandwiches, 12 inch is enough for two meals. Im picky on bread but their bread is so crispy and fresh! It was one of those lunches where you think about it throughout the day because it was so good... I will definitely eating here again soon! The foodcourt they're in is really cool too, it was very laidback with big wood tables and neon signs. Seems like you can get happy hour here after work from a different stall and the music was pretty good too!

    Picked up the Chef's special for lunch today. It was delicious... loaded with grilled chicken and especially enjoyed the sauce. Recommend ordering online during the busy lunch rush.

    Me trying to take apart this sandwhich but it's already awful.

    Actually the most disgusting sandwhich I have ever been served. It's embarrassing that the worker said "this is the recipe" while he slathered what looked like half a pound of cream cheese on to two sad pieces of rye bread, topped with enough turkey to make you sick. The food is not fresh at all and the quality of ingredients is awful. I opened my turkey cream cheese just to throw the entire sandwhich away with how terrible the turkey tasted. No one wants a soggy massive sandwich stuffed with terrible ingredients. Don't waste your time here.

    I was taking a walk down Bloor Street on a Thursday morning while searching for some breakfast when…read moremy wife spotted COBS Bread and we headed right on in. This small little bake shop had a menu hanging up, but I completely ignored it thanks to the baked goods right behind the counter that I was too busy staring at. I knew right away that I was going to order a Chocolate Croissant because, well, I always order a Chocolate Croissant if one is available. After making my first choice, this strange little baked good caught my eye, and it turned out to be something called a Cruffin.......a Cruffin you say? What is a cruffin? WELL, let me tell you. The cruffin is basically like a muffin, but like, with cheese and pepperoni on it so obviously I hate to order that sexy little bad boy right away. This thing wasn't big, but it was very dense and basically tasted like pizza crust which was absolutely delicious. After eating the cruffin, the Chocolate Croissant seemed way less cool but I ate it anyway. It tasted good and the chocolate was actually spread across the whole thing so they get an even bigger thumbs up for doing it right. Overall, COBS Bread was the spot! I had no idea this was a chain, but who cares, this place was great. I really liked the Cruffin I got and the croissant was really good as well. I will absolutely be revisiting COBS Bread when I come back to Canada and devouring a few more cruffins while I'm at it!

    Here's a cinnamon bun, you know what it is lol. The one thing I'd say that will elevate this from a…read more5 to a 10 is if somehow they can get that glaze at the bottom of the bun to be i side of the bun. The interior is dry while the bottom and top is moist. It's height and width is too high and wide so any attempts to bite (to get that moist sweetness to mask the middle dryness) just guarantees a joker's smile of smeared sugar... so, overall a decent bun, but nothing you'd dream daily about. Want to also add the store is very well organized with their display of goods and the service is professional and efficient.

It's family-run, and you can really feel the care they put into everything--from the friendly service to the way your food is made fresh right in front of you.

I literally have nothing to say bad about this place, because that is how much I love their food. The menu is huge with so many varieties of subs/sandwiches to choose from, truly all of them are the best. The staff is so kind and are very welcoming, they allow you to modify the sandwich in case there is anything you don't want on it. There is also a lot of seating for you to come in and eat as well, incase you did not want to take out. Now onto the sandwiches! I kid you not, the bread here is the most softest, fresh bread which also does not get soggy with all the toppings/sauces that get put on it. And then all the toppings that get added are super fresh. These sandwiches truly are addicting but also worth the money! I will always go back for the Chef's Choice sub which comes with: Grilled Chicken Strips, Avocado, Tomato, Hot Pepper, Fresh Onion, Olives, Crispy Onion, Pesto Sauce & Grandma's Homemade Hot Sauce. I truly truly recommend this off their menu if you are looking for something you want to keep coming back for. 10/10 Recommend!!!

I agree that the price for a sandwich plus side salad is quite pricey ($13 including tax) but I like the fact that everything tastes fresh and light, and you have alot of options to customize your sandwich in a healthy way. I ordered the rosemary focaccia with chicken breast, arugula, avocado and chipotle spread plus their usual sprinkle of salt, pepper and squeeze of lime. It's like a gourmet sandwich - the bread was thick, soft with hints of rosemary and yummy. The salad was mostly arugula with carrots- this was very lightly seasoned but at least I won't be hit with itis going back to work! Definitely would come again, although not regularly since it's kinda pricey.

I'm going to continue with my overtime take out review series with Sandwich Box. You would think making a sandwich is probably not the most complicated task out there, but this place seems to get it all wrong. My order consisted of an egg salad sandwich on whole grain bread with a side salad. When I received it, I only got the sandwich and the restaurant failed to tell me the salad was no longer included in the combo (yet the price remained the same). That's great that the online menu was not updated to include items no longer available, a simple update would address all these problems knowmsayin? Now on to the actual sandwich, the bread was thick. I mean so thick it looked like there was about a half an inch of eggs inside of two encyclopedias worth of bread. The eggs themselves, totally flavorless and bland. Kinda hard to mess up an egg salad sandwich right? Even Tim Horton's can get that right! To make things short and sweet, I'll be looking over this option the next time I'm working late or considering a sandwich in the downtown area.
