Schnitzel sandwich.
Julia M.

I have been meaning to review Rustic Sourdough for ages because it is just simply fantastic, but for some reason I kept putting it off. I went back this weekend and was hit over the head once more by the quality of the product, the friendly staff and then a stomach ache because I ate all the food too fast. There are two sides to Rustic, if you enter through the left door you are on the deli side, where you can buy packaged euro goodies like marzipan, various chocolates and apple stroop. Several shelves of various preserves line the centre wall and on your left is the deli counter with a hub of specialty meats and cheese. This is the side you want to visit where they will build you a sandwich layered with love. I recommend the schnitzel sandwich on white sourdough with everything they offer to go on it (get it grilled!). It has lettuce, cheese and red pepper jelly, with large pieces of schnitzel bursting out the confines of the house made sourdough. Great sandwich, comes with two pickles and carrots and is $8 on Saturdays. Then there is the right side of Rustic where you can say goodbye to a diet in mere seconds as you will be drooling after 5 steps in. Fresh baked breads, buns, pastries, tarts, tortes, cookies, pretzels and pretzel buns. I want to put it all in my mouth. I always get a mini cranberry, blueberry marzipan tart. Sublime. There is also a little espresso bar on this side, which I have yet to try as I am always baked good focused. All their staff are friendly, helpful and won't judge your exorbitant appetite for delicious breads. The only flaw is they aren't open on Sundays, which is probably good news for my waist line.

Rice-a-Roni may call themselves the "San Francisco Treat", but if you've ever been there, you know the real treat to be the sourdough bread. But you don't have to go all the way tot the Bay area to get delicious preservative-free, hand-crafted sourdough bread. All you have to do is get down to the Rustic Bakery on 17th Ave SW. Their artisanal sourdough bread is nice and crusty on the outside, and the inside is somehow dense and light all at the same time the way a great sourdough oughtta be. Besides their myriad choices of artisanal breads, they also offer a wide assortment of cakes, tortes, and pastries. You always get service with a smile, and if the heavenly aromas happen to get your belly rumbling, not to worry, because Rustic has an adjoining deli serving up hearty homemade soups, salads, and custom sandwiches on their delightful homemade bread.

This is a great, affordable eating bakery/deli on 17th Avenue SW. It is really spacious and has two in one choices, there is the bakery on the right hand side and the deli eat in area on the left. The place was filled with locals and there is a nice bright spirit and energy to the digs. The bakery has a great selection of bread loaves as well as a grand selection of cookie choices in prices that they should be in; under a buck. Expect other temptations, cinnamon rolls, cheesecake etc but the prices again are so affordable, even if you don't have a sweet tooth you will not leave the bakery without buying something. Although I haven't eaten in the deli area I see that you get the choices of sliced meats and cheeses; that paired with fresh bread choices from the bakery it is no wonder this place was packed. I will come back again to review this location since it is so close to my home.

Full disclaimers here - we don't have access to sourdough in Flathead MT. Not the real good tasty stuff that's stacked high and can be found at nearly every corner in Europe. On Saturday morning bright and early we headed over to the Rustic Sourdough Bakery to see the offerings firsthand. Yep it is the real deal. We did not purchase any on this trip but did speak with several of the locals while we waited for our egg sandwiches to be ready (three Loonies each). Think of the store as a NY bagel shop. Busy and a little tired from all the local foot traffic but never-the-less clean despite the hustle. The locals we spoke to that morning had been coming in regularly for nearly 30 years if I recall correctly. Stopping in for loafs of bread, sandwiches, and other goodies. The store is divided up into two sections. The bakery on the right. Coffee is self serve. The deli is on the left. One patron was very busy filling a large meat and cheese order, a possible party later that day? Anyway we took it as a good sign. Offerings seemed limited but it was clear they kept everything fresh. Staff was helpful and friendly. We will be going back on our next visit.

Saskatoon danish, cherry cheesecake tart, pain au chocolat
Dallas P.

I was headed to a store near by but I just HAD to stop in and pick up a few things. Well, ok, two boxes of things, as it turned out. But everything just looked so good! It's not my fault! Here are my individual item reviews: Date square - fantastic, one of the best in town. Sadly, my husband ate MY date square so I only got one bite before he polished it off this time. (Guess I have to go back for another one!) Key Lime Pie - pretty good, reasonable price, but had a slightly off taste. Can't describe it, might have just been a one-time thing. Nice and creamy though! Bear Bite cookie - meh. Hazelnut and chocolate chips in a white cookie should have more flavor. And for $1 it was not worth it at all. Cheesecake tart - strangely dry. Still tasty though. I had the cherry one, wish the cherries were more prominent. Pain au Chocolat - Very good, lots of chocolate and nice flake. Saskatoon danish - unique fruit combo which I loved, and tons of fruit on top. Wish it was cream cheese and fruit, but I forgive them.

Morning croissant :)

The food experience that is Calgary continues. My brother loves this place so we decided to go here…read moresince it was close by. He says that this might be the best sandwich place in the city. We came to the store to order. and you know the service is top notch. The owner is very friendly and there is a warm ambiance about the place. On to the food, My brother order a chicken parm subs and say his sub was excellent as always. I ended up getting two subs. One was the meatball sub which was exceptional. The meatballs were well seasoned and were larger than my mom made when she was alive. the buns were toasted to perfection crunchy but not burnt. They had just enough sauce and cheese to compliment the sub but not overpower it . i also got a turkey pesto sub which had a lot of meat and cheese. This was very good and if i come back to Calgary i will definitely come back.

I'm…read morenot usually a big sandwich person, but a good foodie friend of mine said they heard the hype about Scozzafava's so I went along. No regrets. If you didn't know about this spot, you might easily pass by without a second glance. Scozzafava's serves up authentic, classic Italian sandwiches that just slap. They use a soft sesame seed bun, which probably is the most unique part of the sandwich. For their marinara sandwiches, I wish they used a thicker bun to better absorb all the sauce. The sesame bun didn't keep its integrity, sadly. The meatball marinara was glorious! Slightly spicy, super moist meatballs, slightly sweet marinara, and perfectly paired with bitterness of the rapini. Don't forget the cheese pull! We also grabbed the classic Italian deli, which was scrumptious and very filling. You can't go wrong with either option, in my opinion.

But they definitely do it very well. I'm sad we do not have anything like this near our house, but happy to have experienced it here. We were en route back to Calgary from Banff and wanting to grab breakfast before our long flight back to Texas. My wife wanted the basic sandwich with bacon, but I was torn between the Meat Lovers and the Lobster. You know what? Why not both? I loved every bite of both of them and had absolutely no regrets about ordering two. They actually aren't that big, so it wasn't as crazy of an idea as I originally thought. My wife ordered the hash brown concoction, which I wasn't interested in, but actually regretted not adding onto my order too. It was actually a small hash brown sandwich with some kind of deliciousness in the middle. But I guess I had enough food as it were. We had two meals in Calgary - one on the way in before Banff and one on the way out. Both were great, and this one inspired me to one day open an egg sandwich shop in the next chapter of my life. I should do that, right?

So my brother suggested some thing strange a place that did Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I thought this was a bit bizarre because im wondering how place that does peanut butter and jelly survives financially. Here's the thing they do the sandwiches in a panini griller which was a new concept We both got the strawberry jam and peanut butter and i got small tomato soup on line. the sandwiches were very comforting and really good. As for the tomato soup it actually tasted like red pepper soup which was even better given the change in weather Calgary receieved. Acouple of things to note make sure you have napkins for peanut butter and jam as the jam does tend to spurt out of the sandwich but not a big thing also a small soup is more than enough cure any hunger that you might have. All in all a nice way to end day one of the Calgary trip

The soup was warm and inviting with real beef. But, the real highlight was the mac and cheese: extra creamy made with real cheddar cheese and topped with buttery homemade croutons. For the portions provided, $10 is more than fair for well-prepared comfort food!

They offer two fresh soups every day which are clearly not canned and made from scratch. They also offer a different special every day of the week that can be supplemented with a salad or a small soup. These specials range from clubhouse sandwiches, to spring roll on vermicelli, to mac n' cheese (scratch made). One of my go-to places for lunches and as a soup connoisseur they are able to beat out most places by providing homemade soups instead of the typical generic Campbell's stuff you find in most delis. One thing I would like is for them to switch up and try their hand at making other soups because I have been here so many times the soups are getting slightly old (but still tastier and better value than Sunterra) TLDR: Soups good, specials can be good, sandwiches fresh, salad available.
