I had been to a location of what I think is the same bakery on Main St to pick up some bread and pastries to go and enjoyed what I had there, so I was excited to discover this location much closer to me. I stopped by for lunch the other day, but they also sell loaves of bread and some Italian groceries in addition to sandwiches and various pastries. I had their Veggie Mix Sandwich, Berry Coffee Cake, and an iced almond milk Latte.
The sandwich was really good! The roll it was served on was very special, it had a slightly buttery and flaky crust almost like a croissant. There was a variety of veggies like peppers, broccoli, onions, and greens inside, plus cheese and I think a little mayo, and when heated up it all melded together delightfully. The only catch was that it took a while to heat up (which the worker who helped me warned me about), which was okay with me, but makes this place not ideal for a quick bite unless you want your sandwich cold. It takes so long because they use a proper oven, not a grill or microwave. The coffee cake was delicious also! Sometimes coffee cakes can be too dry and crumbly for my taste but this one was nice and moist (sorry), and had just enough structure. The mixed berries added a nice pop of flavour. The worker said she was going to heat this up for me too, but it was room temperature by the time I got to eating it which was honestly probably just as well. The latte wasn't bad but somehow felt a little heavy? This may have just had to due with it being not quite cold enough - by the time I finished it, it had gotten down to refreshingly cool, but this was when all the ice had melted. I think it could have used a bit more ice to start.
Everything is priced fairly. The woman working was very sweet and helpful, and patient while I was making up my mind. They don't have seating indoor but have two small tables outside. The tables are tucked into a bit of an alcove so you don't feel like you're in the way of the sidewalk with people walking on top of you. read more
