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.

They seem extremely selective in how they treat customers, and I can't ignore the pattern anymore. I've observed this more than once: when a customer with a lighter complexion comes in, the attendant will simply hand them their baked goods. But if you're coloured , the attendant makes a point to personally bring it to the front instead. It might seem subtle, but it speaks volumes about their customer service--and not in a good way. The food and products are great, but the way they treat people leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

What a great hidden gem! I came here on a Friday night, parked near by in a lot behind the…read morerestaurant. The service was very welcoming and nice. It was my first visit and they had a great variety of meat options from stews, curries, fried options and much more. I love having the option of trying a variety of different things, so we picked a protein with our meal and it came with rice & peas, macaroni & cheese and coleslaw. For the protein, one box had the jerk chicken and the other had the chicken stew. Both meals were delicious and came to around $15. I'm ready to come back earlier in the day to get a box of their beef patties and try more of their options!

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.

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.
