It has a lovey texture, chew and bite. Their sandwiches offer a wide variety of options for everyone, as a pescatarian I have a hard time choosing because of the plentiful options. Ambiance is cute and clean, good music, casual but still not somewhere you'd want to be drooling hungover. Service is quick and attentive, everyone is so nice. I love this place, if this was in Toronto I'd be 15 pounds heavier. For sure give this place a spin, get their classic plain salt bagel, sit down, and order one of their amazing sandwiches.

I called ahead to ask if they could hold a sourdough loaf. I was told they had six left, it was "fairly slow," but no holds--first come, first serve. Fair enough. I made the trip over and stood in line, only to watch the customer in front of me get the last loaf. She mentioned she was also told the same thing over the phone. Again, I accepted that--she was ahead of me. Then the real issue: behind the counter was a bag clearly labeled "Alex" with loaves being held--despite their "no holds" policy. When questioned, the staff admitted they were reserving them for a "long-time customer." So the rules apparently only apply to some people. That's not just bad business--that's unethical.

I've been up in this area a few times for various reasons and the last couple was for driving test candidates. One was my son... he finally wanted to get his G2 before time ran out. Dropped him off and walked on over for breakfast. Crossed my fingers too - not so he passes his test, but so he doesn't damage the Merc! LOL! Williams is a nice change from the Mermaid brand of places that dots every major corner and mall back in the GTA. Step inside and it's a proper dining facility and one that is not filled with hipsters that thinks buying a Venti Latte pays rent for their arse to be planted for the whole day on a table. Dropped my stuff off at a comfy table and ordered up breakfast. Haven't had a breakfast like this in a long while - just your standard good old cholesterol rich American Classic! HeHeHe... Yup, eggs, bacon, and toast - with a good cup of coffee. The place was clean, nicely decorated, the staff was ultra friendly. They brought my order to the table and even brought condiments when I asked for it. Good Service... something that is missing over the pandemic and at the Mermaid club. Well... breakfast done, belly full, walked back and yes... Merc in one piece! Yah... Oh.. yeah. He passed. And now what do I do when he says... Can I borrow the car!?! FML!!! Cheers!

The food is still delicious, but the prices have increased substantially. Now, l don't mind a price increase if you get the same amount of food as before, but 21.00 for a soup that they claim feeds 4 was extremely disappointing. By the time l had ladled barely a half cup per person, the container was gone. This hardly served 2 adults and 2 children. The pick 2 was also much smaller in size with the soup being a small half cup, thank goodness for the half a sandwich. The large mac and cheese for 10.00 pictured on the menu was also shrunk in size. I guess we should have eaten in restaurant as maybe the portions there are larger, but I have had take out portions of ice cream in a bigger container than the mac and cheese came in. And an after note.....if you order take out, check your order before you leave. We had several items missing, and had to go back for them. Maybe the difference is this is a Canadian Panera Bread, and since they are so few and far between they can get away with smaller portions for more dollars. Next time l go to a Panera Bread will be when l am back visiting in the states.

First time visiting a Chick-fil-A and I'm not at all impressed…read more We went through the Drive Thru where we waited 10 minutes in line just to place our order. Once we reached the order takers (who are outside for some weird reason) we were asked what we wanted to order before we ever reached the digital menu display (heaven forbid we want to learn about the menu before ordering). We decided to order two Chicken Sandwiches. After we placed our order we waited another 10 minutes in the Drive Thru until we received our order. Even though we had our order in hand, we were boxed in at the Drive Thru for another 5 minutes before we could even leave because we were stuck behind other vehicles still waiting for their order. Not sure if this counts as ambiance, but the drive thru experience was the worst I've encountered in years. When we got home, our Chicken Sandwiches were literally just burnt chicken with pickles on a bun - no sauce or other toppings. Not worth $7 a sandwich at all. TL;DR - Pass on this restaurant. Trying to change industry norms in all the most inexplicable ways.

We had a breakfast bagel multigrain with everything and extra tomato and lettuce and the egg mcmuffin, two hash, and two coffees. I would comment the only problem was the bagel seemed stale. Maybe the bagel was over toasted or was stale prior to toasting. So it didnt have the exterior crunch and soft inside. It was just hard throughout. I would also agree with another review how the assembly was messy. I did notice it was quite messy, it just seemed like it was slapped together not carefully assembled so it was a bit sloppy. But maybe that could also be attributed to the extra tomato and lettuce I ordered =D
