Cobs is having a hot crossed buns promo right now so check their website or insta for deals…read more Hot crossed buns are a sweet bread roll traditionally spiced with raisins and currents. The raisins were moist and the bread was v fresh. They have some special flavours like rasp white chocolate (sold out). We got apple cinnamon and traditional. My fave loaf is corn bread but they were out so we got an olive loaf, another fave on the salty side, soft with a chewy crust. A terrific sandwich bread but also nice on its own or with soup. We also got a strawberry danish and cinnamon roll. Both excellent desserts! Loved the optional cream cheese frosting on the buttery cinnaroll. The danish is another fave, a flaky pastry with a sweet cheese middle and different fruit options. I like that Cobs doesn't coat the danish in sugar, only a light powdered dusting. Staff was friendly and they sometimes offer samples. The parking lot was full. Not sure what was going on in that plaza but we had to park in the street.

Quality is going down and especially at this location. I regretted for not reviewing here before getting it The service was just soso. Their staff was persuading me to get more item so I got half dozen scones and a loaf. Another thing is that the bag stuck with so much bread crumbs and got my (car) seat dirty. Not sure if the counter was dirty and she just placed it there before handing over to me. The most important part is that the loaf I bought was moldy when I checked at home later in the same day. This is the first time it ever happened to me. I shop for bread at groceries and other bakeries too. But I didn't see it happen in the same day. I sent them email and called too. Not responsive even on these matters and took long when I tried to get an explanation. They just procrastinated and took their time on this. This issue is still not resolved. Very disappointing with product and service.

But the standout for me was the Pastel de Nata. It has a wonderfully creamy custard, a beautifully baked caramelized top, and crisp, flaky tart edges that really bring it together. It is so dangerously good, which is very darn easy to keep eating. I enjoyed it a lot and will definitely be back soon!

Cashier mentioned sometimes it was up to 30 minutes due to uptick in popularity. The mango croissant was unlike I ever tasted in life. I had to go back and ask how was each layer so flakey. The owner said they import their butter from New Zealand. Didn't know New Zealand had butter like that.

A nice bonus is that if you order six or more pastries, the order becomes tax-free, which is great if you want to try a variety of items. We tried the "Almond Croissant", "Pistachio Croissant", "Crème Brûlée Croissant", "Honey Cake", "Lychee Raspberry Tart", and "Cheesecake. "My favourite was definitely the Lychee Raspberry Tart; it was fruity, creamy, and very balanced. The Honey Cake was my second favorite, although I personally would have preferred it plain without the mango passion cream on top. The Crème Brûlée Croissant was a bit too sweet for my taste, while the Almond Croissant and Pistachio Croissant were good but more simple. The Cheesecake had a nice creamy cheese layer, though the almond cake base was slightly too sweet for me. Overall, it's a great bakery if you enjoy creative pastries and trying different flavours.

The. Best. Discovery. In. Hamilton. Thus. Far…read more OMG! I love places like this. Unassuming, unpretentious, and just offers no-frills good food and honest prices. That's this place! I thought my GPS was leading me astray - again! - when it took me through a downtown-y residential area with older, two-storey houses. However, when I saw the pack of cars parked on the side of the street, I knew something good MUST be around. :) As you enter, there's a counter with breads behind it and cash register. And on the other side, is where some magical stuff happens, i.e. the hot table. I hesitate even writing this here, but the prices are AH-MAZING. Chicken Parm sandwich sm for $5, lg for $6?? AND since they ran out of large buns, they gave me 2 smaller ones for $6?? WHA...I'm not good at math, but isn't that like B1G1! I really hope that the owners can't decode my shorthand. Anyway, I didn't even explore the back room and that's where, apparently have cold cut sandwiches...which are also supposed to be good. Sandwich comes on one of the buns they bake on-site, your choice of spicy or mild tomato-based sauces, fried onions, and like 2 pieces of nicely seasoned Chicken parmesan. So delicious that you don't care if you're outside, sitting on the curb, eating it with sauce and onions dripping all over your shirt. Looking like a complete schlameel. Check this place out! P.S. SHHH...and don't tell too many people about it.

As a family owned Portuguese bakery, they serve their signature sub-sandwiches: turkey, Black Forest ham, prosciutto, veggie, all but the kitchen sink. Not only are their buns freshly baked in house - they taste amazing and most sandwiches are only $3. What a deal! They also serve other lunchtime dishes like lasagna and soup but their sandwiches are to kill for - think Black Friday or Boxing Day frenzy. It's that good. They also have freshly baked goodies but it's first come first serve. Come with a few bucks and leave with a huge lunch. Pro tip: the Black Forest ham sandwich is superb.

In the box was: White Chocolate Peach Mousse Fruit Tart Coconut Exotic Fruit Pistachio Mousse Raspberry Mousse Log Cake Aesthetically, all the pastries looked amazing! I felt bad cutting them to take a bite! My favourite is the Coconut Exotic Fruit. All the layers tied nicely together and tasted really good! The fruit tart was also good. Im not the biggest fan of peach but it was not bad as well. The Raspberry Mousse Cake was well balanced and not too sweet or tart. Sadly to say the Pistachio Mousse that was shaped as a cute Christmas tree was my least favourite. As this was a gift, I did not visit the location in person or know the price, but I do want to eat other selection of pastries and cakes if I get the chance!

My total for four stunning pastries came to $34.00, but I left feeling that the splurge was well worth it for the quality and complexity of the flavors. The selection inside was almost overwhelming... a sensory overload of vibrant colours, making me want to try absolutely everything!!!!! The Strawberry was the standout star, delivering a bright, nostalgic taste that was pure Strawberry Shortcake perfection. I was equally impressed with the richness of the Dark Chocolate Espresso pastry, a deep, satisfying choice. Despite being incredibly busy, the staff was very efficient with keeping the line moving quickly. While I noticed some seating, I was so focused on the sweet goodies that I barely registered the environment. I'm already planning my next trip! A crucial heads-up, however: the pastries I enjoyed all feature a light, airy mousse filling. If that texture or lightness isn't to your taste, you might want to skip

I was in the area, heard good things about COBS, and thought that I'd go in and check it out. It turns out that they had a deal going on where if you spend $20, you'll get a free loaf of bread. Since I was a bit famished, and wanted to try it out anyway, it was a win-win! Sweet/savoury was separated on either sides. And at the window, on a shelf, there were boxes of 6 x butter tarts, pumpkin tarts, cinnamon buns. I took some pics, but prices seem in-line with other bakeries. Scones were approx $2.80, slice of pizza $6.65, savoury crossaint was ~$4. The female worker was SUPER helpful and friendly! She even split my loaf of bread into 2 halves so that I could freeze the other. She also told me that they don't use preservatives and everything is baked daily! So...contrary to what I thought, this place is a legit bakery. There is no seating. Just enough standing room for a few people to grab 'n go! Overall, very positive first experience and I'll definitely NOT overlook this chain/franchise.
