Saving Gigi is located at Bloor and Roxton Road, a short walk from Ossington subway station. The small coffee shop serves a variety of caffeinated beverages, baked goods, breakfast items as well as sandwiches. There is seating indoors and outdoors as well on their small patio. They are also available through different food ordering apps.
I had heard many great things about Saving Gigi's breakfast sandwich for a long time. I was finally able to visit the cafe on a Sat morning. I went around 8:15am and I still had to wait in line for a bit. I ordered a breakfast sandwich (with bacon with the cheddar scone) as well as a flat white with oat milk. My beverage was made before I paid and I waited about 5-10 min for the breakfast sandwich (there were other orders ahead of me).
The flat white was made well. The breakfast sandwich was definitely the highlight. The cheddar scone added a whole new element of flavour and deliciousness. The scone was warm and was slightly crispy (but not too crispy) and pillowy in the centre. Can't go wrong with eggs and bacon in a breakfast sandwich. Overall, definitely one of the best breakfast sandwiches in the city!
Will definitely return for more!! read more
