So I've been to a few California's in my day including the flag ship one downtown and the one the…read moreclosest to me on Warden Ave. But I must say the sandwich I had to was by far one of the best I've ever had in my life!!! Just the right amount of sauce and the cutlets were nice and thick actually seemed thicker then the other California's I mentioned before! I was so tempted to call the store on my way back home and tell them what a amazing sandwich I had but I didn't so this is the next best thing I can do for them. Btw I love the older lookimg sign out front don't change it!!

I have fond memories of eating veal sandwiches. My dad use to get these long veal sandwiches from a…read morefood truck that would stop by his workplace years ago. He brought one home and I devoured it. The bun was soft, the veal was breaded and tender, the marinara sauce was fresh, and it had onions, peppers, and mushrooms that made it the best sandwich. He bought them for me late in my high school and all through my undergraduate years. I moved away. He retired. Veal sandwiches died. Coming back to the GTA, the best veal sandwich I have had is from California Sandwiches. This location is the closest one to my workplace. On Saturday, I had to go into the office and stopped by this location to grab a bite before getting down to work. This location is on Dixie, just north of the 401. You expect tired, hungry truckers around this area on a Saturday. Then, you have folks like me. I wanted a veal sandwich and was hungry. Parking in front of the eatery is limited. I got a spot out of the possible five available. There is also a back entrance where there is more parking. I walked in. There was a woman ahead of me ordering three sandwiches. I already knew what I wanted. This California Sandwiches looks dated from the outside, but is pretty decent inside. I finally got to place my order for a veal sandwich with mushrooms. Technology-wise, the woman took my order down on small pieces of paper. The only modern thing seemed to be the debit machine. Judging by the sign where it said it accepted cash, scribbled in pen underneath was debit. I was armed with both and paid with cash. Everyone there seemed to be Italian. I liked the homey vibe. She asked if I wanted anything else. I got a bottled diet Dr. Pepper. I found out later on that there was San Pellegrino. Oh, well. I'll get that next time. This California Sandwiches is a bit different. You can buy bottles of marinara sauce to take home. Fish and chips are on the menu. If you can fit poutine in your tummy with your sandwich, it's available. Finally, if you feel like pasta, you can get some here. I loved all the choices. It took a bit of time to get my order. There were three orders ahead of mine. Finally, my sandwich was ready. The woman who prepared asked whether I was dining in. I was. No tray. Just the sandwich wrapped in paper was handed to me. I loved all of it! The woman called me sweetie when she handed me my sandwich. It was endearing. I happily sat down and looked forward to chowing down. Why do I love California Sandwiches? The veal is larger than the bun. I opened my sandwich up and felt so happy looking at such beauty. It came with lots of napkins. You need all of them! I took my first bite. I was in heaven. The veal was tender. The breading was perfect. It was light and yummy. I loved the marinara sauce with little chunks of onion. Finally, all those sliced mushrooms got my seal of approval. The yummy bun held everything together. Some have complained that it's expensive to get a sandwich here. With taxes, my sandwich with mushrooms and a bottled drink came up to $14.50. Considering that my sandwich was huge, packed with goodness, and I didn't eat anything until dinner, it's all worth it to me. It does get messy eating this sandwich. After I was done, I washed my hands in the women's washroom. It has two stalls. It was clean. It's dated, but everything works. I'd come back here again for another yummy veal sandwich. It's good reliving good memories while creating new ones. (169)

I liked how Covid conscious the business is. Instead of handing our menus they had a sticker on the window that you scan to access the menu.

After we received our food we weren't checked on for at least 30 minutes, no one came around to ask if we needed coffee or how the food was. We had to flag down a waiter for our check.

Honestly, after a fun night that involved too many drinks, this sandwich is my emergency contact. It is straight-up FIRE! The bacon is clearly top-quality, but the real magic trick is the holy trinity of scrambled eggs, sharp cheddar, and that amazing aioli. The first bite is an experience--it doesn't just satisfy your breakfast craving; it performs an intervention on your soul and tells you everything is going to be okay. It just hits home. We also absolutely love the setup here! We had our dog with us, so the convenient order window was a total lifesaver. No awkward moments leaving our furry friend outside alone while we sorted out our cure. It's a perfect spot for grabbing and going. We've visited their other location too, and they are both equally incredible. Gold Standard, you are the gold standard of breakfast.

This wasn't even a combo. I tried calling the store 3+ times during opening hours to place a pickup order, but no one answered. The only option was ordering through the DoorDash link, and somehow the total came out to $10+. At $5, I'd have no problem buying this again. But at $10 for a sandwich like this, it's definitely not worth it and feels extremely overpriced.

This review is only based on one visit and one menu item: the French Toast…read more Upon looking at pics of this place on Yelp and Google, I thought the Corned Beef and Eggs Benedict looked great, but the French Toast stuck out to me the most since it looked like it was made with Chala bread. It also just looked delicious. Let me tell you... it's to die for. It doesn't jump out at you with a bold taste or like there is a ton of cinnamon, but the texture and doughiness of it is so nice. The chunks are big and fluffy, and the inside is airy. They're not dry nor are they too greasy. In a way, they almost feel like eating a big fresh doughnut. They come with an Aunt Jemima-style maple syrup, so it isn't the real stuff. However, I honestly prefer the cheap syrup, but that's just a possibly unconventional personal preference. Maybe someone should revoke my Canadian citizenship after that confession... Anywho, the price was roughly $10 and I felt it was pretty fair. I'd frequent this place much more often if the price were still in the $6-$7 range for a full order of French Toast, but I didn't feel ripped off afterwards or anything. There are spots to sit inside in the back and a decent setup on the sidewalk of 3 or 4 tables, but it's pretty busy out there. The lady who took my order was super friendly as well. Looking forward to going back and trying some of their deli cuts or soups.

My table ordered an omelette, a burrito, and pancakes along with coffee. Texmex Messy Burrito - Scrambled eggs, although this one was not served as advertised, since it was more like an omelette instead of scrambled eggs. This seemed to disappoint one picky eater at our table who was also upset that the bacon wasn't crispy enough. Inside the burrito was soft non-crispy bacon, green pepper, cheddar cheese, and there was salsa verde drizzled on top, served with lightly salted home fries and fresh fruit (cantaloupe, honeydew and pineapple). Cowboy Omelette - It had ham, onion, green pepper omelette. Served with fresh fruit (cantaloupe, honeydew and pineapple), homefries, and toast. All their omelettes are made with 4 eggs. Surprisingly the potatoes were not salty like other breakfast places. Enjoyable. Pancakes - Pancakes were nice and fluffy buttermilk pancakes dusted with icing sugar and served with syrup. Simple and tasty! My first time there was a pleasant experience. I was happy with the overall atmosphere of the restaurant, the food and the great service from two really hard-working waitresses. Despite special allergy requests, they were so quick with service and accommodating. We all agreed that Panagios serves good quality food that is on par with other brunch options.
