My school gets Santaguida Fine Foods to cater for some small to medium-sized events and everything…read moreabout it is absolutely wonderful. We usually get a variety of sandwiches (Roast Beef, Grilled Chicken, Egg, Vegetarian and maybe one other), cookies and/or other sweets, 1-2 salads, and coffee. They also make custom sandwiches in catered events for people with dietary restrictions! All the sandwiches are made with what I think are Ciabatta buns, sometimes whole grain/wheat. The bread is a bit thick but I guess that is what ciabatta is and they also load the sandwiches with a good amount of meat. From the two sandwiches that I've tried, roast beef and grilled chicken, they are amazing and the meat is complimented with lettuce, tomatoes, roasted red peppers and cucumbers. The salads (I am unsure of their names) are very good as well. I'm not a big salad/veggie eater but they definitely had me coming for more. Personally, I don't really like the cookies and sweets that Santaguida serves, they are a little bit on the sweet side and the flavours are interesting. Despite that, I can tell that they are made with quality ingredients and my dislike stems moreso from personal preference rather than it being bad-tasting. The coffee that Santaguida serves is surprisingly good - good enough to drink black. I would say it is definitely better than Tim's and McDonald's. It is pretty surprising because it comes in a giant black-plastic container and you don't expect catered coffee to be good (as usually it is something catering companies just do to make extra $$ and then they end up half-assing it). The only thing holding me back from giving this place 5 stars is the price. I don't pay directly for any of the catered events nor do I know how much each platter or event costs (their website is also terrible and useless). I would expect it to be relatively expensive

The paired cocktail style dishes were amazing.. especially the Cornish hen parfait was very well done. Also not to forget there are other pairings but the most exciting one was the dessert.

Hi Azeemah, I just wanted to provide some feedback that was unanimous across all 3 of our locations…read more- the food was fantastic!! The variety between dark and white was perfect, the quantity was more than enough and provided some with second servings, the veggie option was amazing, fresh cranberry sauce, stuffing, green beans with almonds and the mashed potatoes - oh my!! Lovely desserts and serving cutlery and utensils. Very, very good. Super polite and nice delivery guy as well. Personal note - this was like a real home made Thanksgiving and I don't feel bad about having ham this Sunday as I have had a real Turkey dinner already. I did take leftovers yesterday as well (of what was left) and had a fabulous Turkey/stuffing/cranberry sandwich today. Well done!! Derek

I finally asked who caters their events and learnt it's Kiss the Cook. The kale sweet potato salad was delicious! The gnocchi (with cherry tomatoes and arugula) was so fresh and flavourful. The chicken was nicely seasoned with tasty herbs. Dessert was a variety of pastries and chocolate-covered strawberries. Tasted like a healthy, gourmet meal!

I've live in the neighbourhood for just over a year now and have walked by this place several…read moretimes. I always thought it was just catering and didn't realize they had fresh prepared meals to go until someone posted about it on FB. I was going to suggest Google to add "Takeout" as a Service Option, but I couldn't figure out how. Anyway, my partner came here to grab lunch for us. It was $11 for a meat and a side. I ordered the sole and the quinoa and kale salad with red peppers. He ordered the chicken parm with mac and cheese. We both really enjoyed our dishes! I would come back here again for sure. I'm glad we finally tried it out. My only complaint would be that I wish they had a few more options, but perhaps it's not cost effective for them. Either way, a hidden gem that I'm glad we found

I have to be honest and say I really did not enjoy the food we took home from the shop that day…read more The food was overly salty/bland/oily and we felt like we wasted $20. Loved the idea of the store front with freshly prepared meals (ready to go or frozen), jams, jellies, home decor, and other food stuffs. But the food really missed the mark for us. Sorry but we won't be back.

My favorite deli in the city! So lucky to work nearby, I…read morelearned about this from several old residents in the neighborhood. This place is highly respected in the community. Nobody says bad things about this place in terms of food quality, customer services, and community consciousness & contribution. I have been getting their pastries, cakes, tarts, sandwiches, and deli food. Oh their coffee is best on the street. Today, I got - Ravioli salad with mushrooms & arugula: This is my favorite. Seasoning is modest, which makes the ingredients' natural rich flavor stand out. Every time I eat this, I appreciate the different wild mushrooms' textures and natural, earthy flavors. So delicate! - Beef Stir fry: First time to try this and loved this! The beef is cut into generous chunk, and was suuuuupeerrr tender. I did not reheat this in microwave as it may kill this perfectly done beef's texture. Price is on higher end, but in my opinion, well worth it.

I was not aware there was this type of takeout available where you bring in your own containers to…read moreget your food in. It's a great idea since this cuts down on a lot of waste with the one time use styrofoam or plastic non-recyclable containers. You can asked to be placed on their email distribution list and they'll send you a list of what dishes they'll be making in certain days. You call ahead to place your order and are given a number. When you get there you tell them your number and provide them with your containers for the food. It seems as though a lot of people leave their containers and bags there and gone back to pick up their food later. There were 2 shelves filled with environmental bags. The food is tasty and not too salty or greasy unlike a lot of other takeout places.

This review is for frozen dim sum only…read more Overall - 4 stars. I had craved dim sum for a while now but had been reluctant to dine out nor bother to drive all the way to get takeout weekly, so I opted to buy a batch of frozen dim sum from this vendor last weekend. I heard of this vendor via referral of a friend. The frozen dim sum I chose were all of the "steam" nature, as I believed they would be easier to prepare. I called the vendor. Jennifer sent a text message with a link to an online form to me, along with pictures of the menu. The actual ordering was straight forward, just selected a picture and the quantity. The total cost was displayed at end of ordering. The prices were inclusive of sales tax, so there was no surprise or mental mathematics required. Jennifer replied by email soon after acknowledging the order and the pickup time. When I arrived at store, I rang a bell and waited at the entrance lobby as part of the Covid 19 protocol. A lady asked for my name and order. Jennifer counted the quantity in person with me to confirm everything ordered was in the bag. Money changed hands and the transaction was completed smoothly and professionally. 5 stars for process. I steamed the dim sum. I estimated that the quality and size were on par with the "flat price" dim sum at restaurants, and definitely better quality than the frozen ones from grocery stores. The Chai Siu Bao and Chiu Chow Dumplings were particularly delicious. The regular Shrimp Dumplings were fresh but small (there is a jumbo size Shrimp Dumpling available for ordering should you desire). The Siu Mai were smaller than expected. 3 stars for food. The pricing of everything I chose was way cheaper than restaurants, so the value was justified. 4 stars for value.
