Alfie’s Sandwiches & Market

After Badiali, this is another hype that is 200% real in Toronto…read more Alfie has drawn enormous buzz, online and off, since last year. The focus is Tuscan-style sandwiches on sourdough flatbread, built with fresh ingredients straight from Naples, and you can absolutely taste Naples in every bite. For Italian sandwiches, it is one of the best in the city, if not the very best. I've visited twice, once earlier this year and once today. The first time I had the Torino ($21), and today the Chicken Milano ($21). Torino Prosciutto di Parma, stracciatella, truffle cream, spicy eggplant, baby arugula. This was my favourite of the two. The stracciatella and truffle cream were generously spread, and the sandwich is massive and hearty. Don't let the size fool you, though: the flavours have the finesse of a fine-dining plate. It was nutty, umami, creamy, with hints of spice and sweetness, the truffle dancing over the salty, buttery, velvety prosciutto, which was cured to perfection. Everything fused into the pillowy, tender sourdough flatbread. I honestly don't know how a sandwich could get better. Chicken Milano Smoked chicken breast, lemon basil pesto, stracciatella, tomato, fried onion, arugula, chili oil. Also amazing. The smoked chicken was tender, never overpowering or too salty, and kept its succulent flavour, which seems to be how Alfie treats all its proteins. The pesto melted into the arugula, adding tang and a slight bitterness, balanced by the spice and umami of the chili oil and tomato. My favourite part was the crispy onion: a wonderful, fun texture. The one flaw was that the chili oil became slightly too spicy by the end for me. I took the rest home, drizzled it with honey, and it was the best thing ever. What makes Alfie special is that you keep thinking about it after a single visit. The flavours linger like a ghostly residue, etched in your memory, and you can't wait to return. Next time, I'm going for the Mona Lisa. The price is on the high side, about $25 after tax and tip for a sandwich, but think of it as two meals and it feels far more reasonable. The wait is always long (it's very busy - the market is small and only allows takeaway), but you usually don't have to queue to order, unlike at Badiali. My tip: order first, grab a coffee or ice cream at a nearby spot, then come back to pick up your sandwich.

If you're in the area looking for a quick bite, I'd give this place a shot.

This is one of those places that's a bit perplexing from the outside - it's hard to tell whether it's "hipster shabby", or just plain shabby. But seeing the pictures of the ice cream on Yelp, I knew I had to try it. If you're here for just ice cream, you could do a lot worse. They serve Hewitt's here, which is good stuff, and the prices are reasonable if a tiny bit on the high side given the area (although no one would blink an eye on James North). Expect a cone to run you from $3-5 depending on how big you like it. Where this place really shines is their half-and-halfs, though. It's a pretty simple idea at the heart of it - a sundae plopped into a milkshake. It's clever though, and they're really delicious. It runs about $6-7 for one - a fair price given what you get. I got a standard option (peanut butter), but you can "build your own", which probably would get more interesting, as most of the standards tend to have the same flavours in the milkshake and the ice cream part. I didn't try the paninis, nor did anyone in the place when I was there. I personally think this place could focus on ice cream and do perfectly well. read more

The food and ice cream are fine. The issue i had was with the music. This is a place you bring kids to get ice cream, the music was laced with lyrics not suitable for kids. Fkn ni**er this and bit*h hoe that. If i want to hear that kind of music ill either go to the night club or wait for the next car with a stereo cranked so loud it rattles the windows of the buildings as it drives past.

They're there and happy to serve you for the brief 4 minutes you'll be standing there. You can sit outside, but this really isn't a hang out place. It's more like a "go and get an ice cream to take with you on a summer evening stroll" kind of place. So, if you are looking to be waited on and to sit and hang out for a while, this isn't the place. If you're looking for delicious ice cream served in huge scoops for a very reasonable price, this is the place for you!

I tried a few of their cookie doughs from various visits, and overall the cookie dough is okay... Definitely not a treat I am craving, but it was an experience to try. I tried their "Luck Charms" cookie dough, and it was too sweet in my opinion and the flavour gets pretty overwhelming (I would recommend a small size, as I could not finish the whole thing). The iced coffee is a MUST TRY! As a coffee lover, I recommend their coffee creations - "Cinnamon Toast Crunch and "Frosted Flakes" iced coffees!! Seriously amazing! They use cereal milk in the coffee, which gives it a sweet flavour, so it's surprisingly very good and unique. There is street parking, but very few spots, so I would recommend going early or taking public transportation if possible. I did park at the close-by A&W parking lot (but that is not recommended).
