I was in the neighborhood and decided to visit this bakery. It was on my to-visit places in…read moreEtobicoke, so I was happy that I finally got a chance to do so! It looked like a place that has not changed in many decades- so it had a vintage vibe. During my visit, it was quite busy as it was just after 12 noon on Saturday. I read that this place has very good pastries, so that is what I decided to purchase. There were two friendly ladies working behind the counter, so I called one of them to ask for help. She informed me that each item is priced by weight, so after confirming the prices, I purchased three cannolis (three different flavours) and one cream-filled doughnut. Then she let me know that I can pay for them at the checkout close to the exit. After paying for the items, I brought them home to try with my husband. We enjoyed both items- however, if we had to pick our favourite, it would be the cannolis. The exterior was so crunchy (and very satisfying) and the filling was smooth and creamy. Each flavour had the right amount of sweetness to satisfy our cravings! The doughnut was good- it had the smooth and creamy custard filling, but the dough tasted a bit hard (so it was not as pillowly as we thought). The next time I am in the area, I look forward to checking out their other items. If you are in this area, support local and check out this family-owned bakery!

The food is generally good, and I have enjoyed most of the items I have purchased. Unfortunately,…read morethe desserts have been disappointing and did not meet the same standard as the rest of the food. My biggest concern, however, is the customer service. The staff working in the food area appeared unfriendly and unwelcoming. During my visit, the employee at the deli handled my sliced mortadella carelessly, which came across as disrespectful and unprofessional. The cashier also lacked basic customer service skills--there was no greeting, no smile, and no "thank you" at the end of the transaction. I understand that everyone has difficult days, but customer-facing staff represent the business and set the tone for the customer experience. Good food can bring people in, but poor service can make customers think twice about returning. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and invests in improving the overall customer service experience.

I'm honestly shocked I've never been to SanRemo before! There are so many things I already want to…read morego back and try--from the desserts, donuts, bakery items, and hot food to the drinks and, of course, the gelato. On this visit, I had the steak sandwich, mortadella sandwich, cold brew, and Nutella latte, and everything was delicious. The vanilla cupcake was especially good--super moist and not overly sweet. Parking is pretty limited, but if you arrive early enough, you can usually find street parking in the surrounding neighbourhood. Despite how busy it was, the service was incredibly quick. There seemed to be plenty of staff working together to keep orders moving efficiently. One bonus that I absolutely loved is that they carry Nutella and Orzo imported from Italy. It's nice knowing I don't have to fly to Italy every time I want to pick some up! Can't wait to come back and work my way through the rest of the menu.

However, I just feel that there wasn't anything outstanding flavour wise from the baked goods. I also got a tiramisu and it wasn't my favorite. I went to the sandwich counter. It just seemed like the lady who took our order just didn't wanna be there. Seeing as I t was my first time getting a sandwich, she handed me a slip and didn't really tell me where I needed to go with it. I ended up standing there and waiting until I realized other patrons were paying, and then coming back with their slip. Overall, with all the sandwiches out there it isn't even on my top five. I don't know if I would travel this deep. Maybe there's something I'm missing if so, please suggestions.

I wouldn't come back though.

They're in the Crossroads plaza, so it's very accessible and there's ample parking. I wanted to take my daughter out for a little treat. She was finally recovered from a nasty bug so I wanted something nicer than the Tims. Unfortunately, it didn't look so nice when we first came in, because it was busy and the staff weren't able to keep up with bussing the tables. That's how 3.5 became 3 instead of 4. I'm glad to report, though, that things were cleared while we were still there. The Christmas decor made sitting at our table mote cheery. They also have a decent bathroom each for men and women. We chose our treats from the case and our beverages. I ordered a large decaf, but was surprised and disappointed when it turned out to be instant. I wished I had ordered the latte instead. Our cake slices (red velvet and chocolate) were fresh and tasty, very much on point with American standard taste and sweetness. They have a huge selection of both Portuguese and American style goodies to choose from. I love that prices are reasonable. I also appreciated that tipping is still treated as customer discretion. Even though your order is brought to your table after you've lined up and paid, there is no automatic tip screen to deal with before you actually pay. From now on, whenever I happen to be around this plaza, I will be far more likely to come here than the Tims.

We got a mocha, latte, pistachio croissant and chocolate pistachio croissant. The cafe had several wonderful pastry options. The interior was beautiful and the chairs made it feel like you were transported to Europe. Two drinks and pastries ended up being $25 so a little on the pricier side but normal for Toronto. The only thing I didn't love was the fact that my latte was not hot at all and I was disappointed there wasn't latte art on either drinks. Other than that this place will definitely be worth revisiting

We walked in and I was immediately impressed by how vast and spotless the place was. This is one enormous place. There's a ton of seating in the main area, and if that's not enough, there's a whole other seating area around the corner. Everything looked really tasty but we decided to try a couple of savory pastries, both of which were delicious and fresh. For my drink, I went with the Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew ("Cold brew coffee with vanilla and topped with sweet cream"), which certainly quenched my thirst and need for a pick-me-up. I want to single out the staff, too. Everybody was super friendly and helpful, and the manager even stopped by our table and offered our daughter a complimentary bear-shaped madeleine. Paris Baguette is a very welcome addition to the neighborhood. We'll definitely be returning.

TURMERIC CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH (5/5) I usually find whole-grain breads to be dense and a bit stiff, but theirs was incredible -- the crust had a perfect crunch while the inside stayed soft and fluffy. I was genuinely surprised by how light it felt. The chicken was still moist and well seasoned. The cashier that helped me was extremely kind, recommend to toast it, and sliced it in half for me. MATCHA PISTACHIO COOKIE (4/5) The cookies were just as impressive: moist and tender in the center with a subtle crisp around the edges. You can really tell they care about texture and quality. This cookie is made with almond flour so you'll expect crispy yet chewy texture you'd get from a macaron. It highlighted both matcha and pistachio flavors well, usually I feel bakeries don't capture those subtle flavors well enough, but they did well! SESAME COOKIE (3/5) This sounded interesting to me because there was tahini in the ingredient list, but I didn't love it. I'm not much of a cake cookie person, but if you are a shortbread snickerdoodle person, I think you'd enjoy it. COLD BREW (5/5) Refreshing and balanced. They have a cute history on how they first started selling their bread a decade ago at a coffee shop and finally became their own. INSIDE It has two tables to seat a party of 4 and 2. The store itself is full of tasteful products selected by the owners and many made in Canada! Hoping to come back to try more of their sourdough products, looks like that's their bread and butter.
