    Black Americano with a plain cannoli

    Great authentic Italian food. Deli and cheese counter. Best buffalo and steak sandwiches. Cannolis from scratch!! Best espresso! Great cheese selection. Truffle cheese is a must must try.

    This Italian bakery-hot table-grocer-gelateria is pretty good, but the food is on the salty side (and I have a high salt tolerance), so it loses half a star: I'm giving it 3.5 for now. Spaghetti with tomato sauce was pretty good though simple. It was on the saltier side for pomodoro sauce. The arancini was good & huge though the tomato sauce was too salty. An order of meatball came with 2; they were huge & could be topped with parmesan, mozzarella or both. They were pretty good but on the salty side even without the cheese. Buffalo chicken sandwich was good. The cutlets are pre-sauced & so not crispy but buffalo chicken is fresher: there was a slight crisp. The bread was slightly crusty too. There's no charge for toppings & you get rapini (haven't seen it elsewhere). It wasn't too spicy. Also had Straciatella & Strawberries & Cream gelato. Both flavours were pretty good, but served on top of each other so it was harder to appreciate them separately. You can't mix flavours with a small order, sadly & medium only comes with 2. Prices include tax. They do porchetta every 2 weekends (e.g. on 27 March 2021). It's usually available on both days, but it seems Saturday is safer. The porchetta sandwich had a generous meat portion which was very tasty & tender. Pity there was no crackling though. It was the same price as the other sandwiches ($10.99). They went well with onions & peppers

    Went there this afternoon to pick up some Italian pastries and very disappointed. We ordered 6 ricotta cannoli and 6 ricotta zeppole. After telling the girl who served us that we wanted ricotta for both pastries, disappointing to open the boxes and see cream and not ricotta. The staff was friendly which is why the rating was a 2.

    Deli Counter.  This is just half of it!

    Support local especially this Italian grocery/bakery/hot table/deli/desserts/all things yummy! I'm a regular at Mercato as first Italian place that is authentic with delicious food. We have been ordering a different sandwich every time we go. This time we had the meatball sandwich. My hubby was groaning throughout each bite (lol true not an over exaggeration). They take 3 huge meatballs and then they cut them up so delicately to fit perfectly on their crusty panino bun. We packed it with all their toppings such as rapini, cheese, hot peppers . Their hot peppers are house made too! Meatball sandwich is top shelf! Second favourite sandwich is their chicken parm.

As a Canadian, it is better to go to your app store, search for the Paris Baguette Canada app, and sign up for the points program for Canada. Last Saturday, I was in my car, parked steps away from Zoup! I had placed a dinner order. I looked across the plaza and noticed Paris Baguette (PB). I had visited COBS Bread a couple of hours earlier. Did I need another bakery visit? Yes! I had some time to kill before picking up my dinner. It was raining. I drove over to PB and parked relatively close to the store. I walked in. I felt like I was in heaven. Carb heaven. Where should I start? I got a tray. There were instructions to grab a small piece of paper and lay it on the tray. I got tongs and went to work. I saw palmiers. My mom loves them. I grabbed one with my tongs and broke off a curved section. It was probably a first for me. I ate the broken part and placed the imperfect palmier on my tray. The broken piece was yummy and was perfection. I finally understood why my mom loves palmiers. I hit the croissant section. I got a pain au chocolat, which is probably my favourite type of croissant. I also got a chocolate croissant. A nice, older woman started chatting with me. She was so sweet. She let me know that she frequents this bakery often and loves it. I asked her what items she hasn't had. It was two items, which floored me. She noticed the chausson aux pommes that I had on my tray and said that it was yummy. I got the following items: - Chausson aux pommes - Chocolate croissant - Pineapple brûlée pastry - Palmier - Pastel de nata - Pain au chocolat - Curry croquette The nice woman let me know that Mia, who was the staffer behind the counter, let her know that this bakery has Korean owners. Really? It made sense seeing mochi donuts. We both hit the checkout counter. Mia got her order and said to grab a seat. She'd bring everything to her. This nice woman said that she was shy of being 90 years old. What?! She looked great! I wouldn't have guessed that I was talking to an 89-year-old woman during my entire time here. I hope that when I am her age, I am savouring pastry as often as my new friend. Mia was great. She put all my pastries in a box. She singled out my savoury curry croquette in a paper bag. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good. I got my receipt, thanked her, grabbed my goodies, wished my new friend a wonderful day, and left. There was a Wild game that night. I had a pastry each period. Three pastries in three hours. They were delicious! I will say that the ones with fresh fruit were the most expensive, just over $6. They were worth it. The chausson aux pommes had the best apple filling. It was flaky and delicious. I absolutely devoured the pineapple brûlée pastry. The pineapple chunks were set in custard and were so naturally sweet. This pastry was superb. The pain au chocolat continues to be my favourite croissant. It was flaky and had the best chocolate in every bite. So good! I had the chocolate croissant and loved it. It was fresh, flaky, and soft. The chocolate drizzle had the right amount of chocolate with the buttery croissant. I was extremely happy with my pastel de nata. The custard had a hint of sweetness. The base of flaky. It could have been torched on top more, but I'd get half a dozen next time. I didn't know what to expect with the curry croquette. It was delicious. It had a crispy exterior, crusted with a mix of white and black sesame seeds. The curry filling was full of good flavour. It had veggies in it. The corn and carrot combination worked nicely. I raved about this place to my friend at work today. There's one at Heartland in Mississauga, which is perfect for us to do a run after work. I had an excellent experience. It was nice meeting a passionate pastry lover while getting her take on what she loves. Everything that I consumed was excellent. I hope to get a drink next time and perhaps sit down to enjoy it. I'll be back. (117)

    The food is not bad, but to me, just not good enough for the price tag. The place is spacious and…read morethe decor is nice. I would go once in a while to spend time, but not a place where I would just go grab food.
