There are benches outside and counters where you can stand and eat, giving it a casual, quick-stop kind of vibe. It's also part market, so you can browse a selection of goodies while you're there. I tried the Antico Parma sandwich and it was delicious--definitely a spot I'd go out of my way for again. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

Good italian sandwiches in a very popular location…read more Stumbled across Alfie's while going to a nearby restaurant and was attracted by the large crowds it had. Came back a couple of weeks later to try three sandwiches Mona Lisa: Excellent sandwich with great taste. More meat would have made this even better. Mozzerela was delightful and great balance of flavour. Chicken caesar: Better than the average chicken caesar sandwich which is fairly common. What makes it really good is the bacon. You get a consistent smoky taste that is very nice. Roast beef sandwich: Solid and good. Nothing wrong with this. Of note that these sandwiches are large. We thought we could get through 3 sandwiches but really could only finish 2. Eat the third later.

They have many breads, sourdoughs, and pastries for sale at reasonable price points. The bakery is casual and take out only where as soon as you enter, you are met with a full display of baked goods. The bakery production is at the back of the store. I stopped by this location of Cobs Bread on a Wed afternoon. As soon as I entered I got a whiff of fresh bread and was suddenly overwhelmed by the amount of breads and baked goods on display. I've had their cheese pullapart loafs as well as danishes previously before, however, this time I was at the store for a free cinnamon bun as it was a free birthday reward for being a member of their Cobs Club. The cashier was friendly and asked if I wanted either a cinnamon bun with icing or plain. I opted for a cinnamon bun with icing and she put it in a box for me before handing it over. During my time at the store the place had a steady flow of customers, coming in to buy baked goods. My cinnamon bun was big and tasted great! I heated it up a bit when I got home. Overall, a convenient location in the Annex for freshly baked bread and goods!

I thought I'd picked up some sandwiches for my partner and I. I ordered a full sized il Capo and a full sized Paulie Porco and we split the two. The sandwiches are packed with ingredients so I ended up getting 2-3 meals with my 2 halves. I liked the il Capo the best. I'm not a big fan of olives, but the muffaletta spread wasn't overpowering and added a nice flavour. The Paulie Porco I would recommend eating hot. After putting some of it in the fridge for later, the fat congealed and so the texture wasn't as good. If you're going to save some for later, I would heat it up again if you can, or just eat it fresh. I am looking forward to going back and trying some of the others!

It blends a traditional Italian deli style with a modern downtown vibe and is known for fresh panini made with quality meats and ingredients, many imported from Italy. We tried their "Il Padrino" and "Capricciosa" panini, and both stood out with crispy fresh bread and a great balance of mortadella, prosciutto, salami, cheese, veggies, and sauces. The combination of fresh bread, curated deli meats, and flavorful sauces gives each sandwich a really nice touch. Besides sandwiches, they also carry Italian-style groceries like pasta, cheeses, desserts, and drinks, which makes the visit feel like a quick trip to a small Italian market. It's a great stop if you're looking for a simple but high-quality lunch in the Harbord Village area.

It's like a gourmet sandwich - the bread was thick, soft with hints of rosemary and yummy. The salad was mostly arugula with carrots- this was very lightly seasoned but at least I won't be hit with itis going back to work! Definitely would come again, although not regularly since it's kinda pricey.

I'm going to continue with my overtime take out review series with Sandwich Box. You would think making a sandwich is probably not the most complicated task out there, but this place seems to get it all wrong. My order consisted of an egg salad sandwich on whole grain bread with a side salad. When I received it, I only got the sandwich and the restaurant failed to tell me the salad was no longer included in the combo (yet the price remained the same). That's great that the online menu was not updated to include items no longer available, a simple update would address all these problems knowmsayin? Now on to the actual sandwich, the bread was thick. I mean so thick it looked like there was about a half an inch of eggs inside of two encyclopedias worth of bread. The eggs themselves, totally flavorless and bland. Kinda hard to mess up an egg salad sandwich right? Even Tim Horton's can get that right! To make things short and sweet, I'll be looking over this option the next time I'm working late or considering a sandwich in the downtown area.
