This was my very first visit to the distillery district. This cafe has a little bit of everything. Foods , sauces , Knick knacks, home goods. I had a the chimichurri steak sandwich and it was superb. The windows and architecture are so bright and spacious. There's sitting spaces both in the front and the back of this establishment. I took home some sauces and I loved that they have all the jars open so you can sample before you buy. Definitely something for everyone! read more

During the Christmas market, there were a couple outdoor stalls selling poutines. Decided to stop by this store to grab their Seasonal poutine because they were indoors, but was wildly surprised by the poutine. The poutine was holiday themed; with cranberry sauce, stuffing, turkey, gravy, cheese and fries. Everything that was packed in the poutine was quality. The cranberry sauce complimented the gravy, the stuffing was flavorful and moist, and there was lots of fries and cheese. Although I cannot compare to the other stalls, I can highly recommend this poutine. read more

Cheese is one of your favorite food items ever so while at the Distillery stumbled upon this place and it's great selection of cheeses The staff were super friendly and without us requesting so, offered samples of each cheese we selected so we could be sure we liked our purchases! We selected 4 local cheeses that we would never source back home and they were amazing !! The cheese was fresh , delicious and made the perfect cheese board at the end of a long day exploring the city! The place also has cooking utensils, bake ware , cook books and local bakes - great place read more

Came here for lunch on my birthday but was disappointed at the quality of the food. Overall, we thought that the food was too bland for our liking. Mac and cheese definitely needed more salt - it didn't really have a taste. Sandwiches could have used a *lot* more seasoning. The truffle fries weren't my favourite, but that's probably a personal preference. To top it off, we waited approx 40 mins before we were served our starters. Won't be coming back here! read more

Make sure you stop in here for the Christmas village event that is going on through December! This is one of my favourite shops in the distillery, lots of wonderful, reasonably priced gift ideas (from toiletries to many foodie items) and they also have a counter with takeout food and baked goods! This was the Christmas poutine with pulled turkey, cranberry sauce, and stuffing. It was delicious, although friend got the regular poutine and her fries were a little burnt... :( read more

Wildly Delicious - Christmas poutine!! So good! - Specialty Food Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

So I was walking around distillery at the artisan tents, and I got really thirsty. Usually I just suck it up and wait for a bubble tea, but I figured since we're in the alcohol area, why not get some alcohol? My bf and I didn't know where the breweries or bars were so we popped into the nearest thing that was blasting ac. This was it. Decor was clean and very rural Etsy-esque. In not really into western alcohol so I got a "craft soda". I never knew such a thing existed but wow it was beautiful and made me appreciate the world. This soda was really refreshing and made me realize how fake and over the top mass produced juices were. This soda was created from fruit juices and water and one other ingredient, and it was clean, simple, and refreshing. I totally recommend this place if you're looking for a drink that isn't alcoholic. The pear and vanilla soda was best. I'm not really into pear or vanilla but this combo was superb. I could live here. read more

3 stars ... there are some good items to eat but just avoid the salads. In Distillery, I find it very hard to find good food that isn't overpriced or just good overall. It's easy to find desserts (Soma & Arvo) and amazing drinks (Arvo & Soma) but beyond the rare few, I'm at a loss. So when I first stepped into Wildly Delicious, I was skeptical. I still am but I did find their sandwiches far more better than the typical tourist trap dishes. This is a casual cafe that also doubles as a cute store that focuses on the Canadian culinary scene. You'll find funny things like mugs with #Sexy, or great Canadian products like Canadian Honey, BBQ sauces, teas, or kitchen items. I'm going to be honest, they make such a great visual of the space. It's vaulted big ceiling is shown wonderfully with lighting that takes you back in time. The shelves are just overfilled with great cute items that would tempt even the most timid of cooks and their Canadiana display with worthy of a shot. Just cause they managed to cram every sort of stereotype in there. The only thing missing would be a beaver holding a Tim Horten's cup... in a mountie hat. Service here is decent and casual. It's a fast casual spot where you go up to the cashier to order and then you choose a table with a sign to tell the runner where to deliver your food. The menu is easy ... sandwiches and salads mostly with some cheese or charcuterie platters. There's a number of options for drinks as well but I'm going to be honest, there is a phenomenal coffee and tea spot around the corner (Arvo). Head there instead. I blanked out on the names but you get the idea behind the dishes BBQ sauced up Fried chicken Sandwich - Had this twice now and I can safely say that this might be the best item to eat that isn't terribly expensive in distillery. It's crispy and how when served up. They used one of the BBQ sauces found on the shelf and it's quite flavourful. A bit of heat, a bit of sweetness, and a touch of smokiness. The bread is big and soft ... would loved it being toasted or something but considering all things, it's one of the better dishes to be had in distillery. 4/5 Gerrard Salad - Ok... this was not the best. Lacklustre. A large bowl of romaine lettuce showed up with sauce on top. I was wondering where all the supposed toppings were from and i had to find them at the bottom. The creamy yogurt based dressing was mostly bland... lacking any zing or zippiness that would make the salad taste anything. I was hoping for any spices... tumeric, cumin... anything. And ... I tasted water on romaine. Sure it had chickpeas but they tasted like... bland washed chickpeas. I'm not sure what happened but when you mention Little India in Toronto as your inspiration, I'm hoping for bold flavours. It's also super expensive... over $16. Pass this over. 2.5/5 If you're looking for food, there isn't a lot that is good and affordable in the distillery but in a pinch, the sandwich seems to be the better bet. Just don't get the salad... whatever you do, don't. read more

Definitely one of the more "cool" ambiance spots in the district. We were so hungry and we didn't want to go full meal and this place and decent reviews with a $$ logo which most places in the area had $$$. We were amused with all the decor in this place! It was more of a merchandising thing so whoever does your merchandising on the floor give them a raise!! Everywhere you looked it had some type of item you could buy to help you cook, or accessories your kitchen! The food was decent! Ordered the friend chicken burger with slaw and fries on the side. Expected the. Burger to come out crunchy but maybe it sat too long or something cause definitely wasn't what we really were expecting from photos that were posted from previous yelp users. The burger was good, flavor was on point just wish it wasn't as soggy as it was when we got it! ThAts only a portion of their menu, they serve tons of other stuff and it seems if you're into cheese, this is the go to spot! read more

3.5 stars! My husband and I came here about 2 months ago during the Christmas Market. My first reaction was that it was such a cute place - small but there is a lot of fun stuff going on! One area is for ordering hot items like parmesan truffle fries $12 or assorted baked goods about $4 and up. I believe they also do charcuterie and cheese boards. Another area is for sampling dozens of different kinds of jams and spreads - the savoury and sweet ones that I tried were delicious! Throughout the store are stacks and shelves full of gourmet food items like different oils, seasonings, flavoured shortbread cookies and utensils. We ordered the parmesan truffle fries which were good but could have used a bit more truffle oil and parmesan sprinkled evenly throughout the decent sized portion. The bluberry and lemon scone also tasted as it sounds. To me, it was a good blend of sweetness and slight tartness but it wasn't amazing. All items in general are at a higher price point (items in bottles and the takeout food) but it seemed very fresh and really, it is all about quality for people who shop or buy food here. Staff were nice enough but it was really busy here of course on a Friday evening. Definitely recommend stopping by here if you are strolling around the Distillery District. read more

While their grilled cheese sandwich is indeed delicious, they appear to have had a recent change in staffing and not for the better. Not only did I get sick after leaving the restaurant (poor sanitation in the kitchen perhaps?), the waitstaff was incredibly rude while we were there as was someone who was organizing the store stock. Unfortunately, not a place I'd revisit again, which is too bad because I love their grilled cheese. Take a pass even though it looks cute. You don't want to get sick. read more

Nice addition to the Distillery district! Stumbled upon this place when we were out checking the lights festival. Nice place for you to hang out and get a coffee, tea or hot chocolate. They have a few flavours for hot chocolate - best part, you can get it in a dairy free option! I had tried the peppermint hot chocolate with soy milk and it was nice and minty! In looking at the menu, you could also grab a bite to eat or walk in their store to look at the different condiments they sell! read more

Stopped by this place while going through the Christmas Market at the Distillery, and I instantly fell in love. They have a great cheese counter where they will give you samples and tell you a bit about the cheeses. They also have everything you could want to make up a wonderful charcuterie board. They have confit, marmalade, jellies and spreads to sample. They have infused olive oils and flat breads. You're sure to find lots of things to your liking. I particularly liked the Oxford Harvest cheese, which is mild and creamy, yet still very flavourful. Honestly, I just paired it with fresh bread (acquired from a different, nearby bakery) and that was my dinner sorted. I also got their chocolate pecan butter tart. Warmed up, it is the perfect dessert to have with your favourite black tea with honey. I'll be back very soon to try more of everything! read more

My elderly mother (with a walker) dropped in to the cafe on a cool and rainy Friday May morning to get a coffee and pastry. No pastries available but other treats. We were told that that we couldn't sit and enjoy our coffee order inside because the policy was seating for meal orders only. The place was completely EMPTY. You think that they could make an exception since we probably would have been done and gone within 10-15 minutes. Unreal. We are not tourists but live in the city. We will never frequent this place again and will be sure to spread the word about your unwillingness to bend your "rule". read more

This place is so adorable in the distillery district. My friend and I were starving so we came in here to eat. We had AVOCADO TOAST, GRANOLA w/ YOGURT, and BISCOTTI because it was so inviting. We loved this place so much we didn't leave anything on the dishes to clean! ENJOY! read more

If it weren't for the touristy prices this place would be 5 stars. That being said, this is probably one of the best places to eat in the distillery. I've come here several times over the last year and I've had a few of their lunch items. I can recommend the Mac & cheese (I usually order it without bacon, but I've heard it's good with) and last I asked they made it with gruyere cheese, and it's absolutely delicious. You get it with some bread crumbs on top giving it both a variety of taste and texture. The butter chicken sandwich and roast turkey sandwich are both good as well, though the butter chicken sandwich is the lighter of the two options. The roast turkey sandwich is heavy and filling, I've been satisfied just ordering it alone without a side. There also a gift shop inside with a bunch of trinkets, kitchen supplies like cups and decorative utensils, some with sassy sayings and quotes. The preserves and snacks seem to be good quality too, though I've never tried them, and they also have a cheese shop in here, and appear to have a good selection of cheeses. You can also now order from here via some apps like Ritual, which makes this a convenient place to come by for lunch since you can skip the crowds. Overall I recommend at least coming by once and trying it out, though the process may deter you from coming here regularly, the quality certainly draws you back here every so often. read more

Among these three , I recommend the white truffle oil dipper , it costs 12.98 only , the flavor is so rich read more

A nice little shop for coffees and pastries. However, very disappointed with the portion size. I ordered a Buddha salad for lunch and got half a salad with romaine lettuce and a few veggies for 10.85. I understand rent prices but come on, I'll be starving in an hour. read more

Had the Paleo Bowl Yorkville, the taste is pretty good and the avocado sauce wonderful, but the portion size is not too great. I understand it is winter and vegetables are pretty expensive, but charing at 19$ it should definitely have leaves that fill more than half of the box and more than three cherry tomatoes. read more

Found this place during the pandemic through Uber Eats. I've ordered 4-5 different items from the menu and have yet to have anything that isn't absolutely fantastic! Great food, conscientious packaging and preparation, reasonable prices. read more

The name says it all. Perfect cup of soup and sandwich on a rainy day strolling through the distillery district. The warm Watson filament lighting and crafts for sale initially drew us in to escape the dreary weather. After getting a free and amazing Gouda sample, we knew we had to order a meal here. (All of their cheese is produced in small batches by local Canadian farmers. You can't get it in most other places). The woman working recommended we share the soup and sandwich since they have large portions, and she was spot on. The meatloaf sandwich with fresh rye bread meshed so well with the vegan tomato soup. We didn't have the opportunity to partake in the family style seating, but I love that they encourage you to strike up a conversation with tour table "neighbor." A cute little French cafe that fits the vibes of the district perfectly. Such a treat. read more

Checked out The Distillery District on a trip to Toronto this weekend. We stopped in here for a snack before heading off on the road. I wasn't really that hungry but since the food looks so good, I decided to get the Moroccan lentil soup. I ordered the bowl size and it was fantastic and leftovers to spare. It came with three slices of bread. My companion ordered the butter chicken poutine which was fantastic. The fries were crispy and delightful and there were lots of cheese curds and chicken with an ample amount of sauce. One of the things that was cute was there were little birds. In the cafe hanging out, yet not bothersome. The cafe is also a store, with all sorts of fantastic food items such as dipping oils, cooking oils, jams, and jellies, mustards and all sorts of things; pretty much everything looked amazing. The prices were really fantastic as well. Many of the items sold in the store are actually made right on premises. Really a great setting and really kind stay. Would definitely recommend and would definitely go back if we're in the area. I bought two cookies from the cookie jar, s'mores cookies and Christmas cookie, both were hard, not fresh and not that great. Skip the cookies! read more

This pop-in shop has a very cute interior (think Pinterest/Instagram). Perf place for your next Instagram photo. They ever had a bar area where you could taste different types of sauces which was pretty neat. I ordered fries with Parmesan cheese and truffle oil. The price was alright (I expected it to cost a bit more) I think it was around $6-$9? The fries itself tasted very good, hot and fresh! Would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a decently priced snack in the distillery. read more

Wildly delicious is right! This adorable place has a quirky hipster stuff and a ton of sauces -- jam, spreads, honey, all of it -- enough to appease a #saucequeen. As for the food, we got the grilled cheese, chicken sandwich, and the egg sandwhich (on a bagel). So delicious we forgot to take more pictures!! Highly recommend! read more

This was a really fun place to run into while in Distillery district. I loved browsing through their selection of gifts and cozy mugs and cookware. We got a grilled cheese (the port compote one) and a butter chicken poutine to eat back in the hotel, and it was delicious! Very apt comfort food for a cold winter night. read more

In search of jam, I wandered into this gem of a shop. Not only is their small batch wild blueberry jam amazing, but they also had fresh honeycomb and cute mice Christmas ornaments. They have a lot of spices and savory sauces, but that was not what I came for. read more

The super attentive cashier didn't steer us wrong, the Parmesan crusted grilled cheddar sandwich with added caramelized onions was delicious. The coffee was a bit bitter but much improved with the sample of buckwheat honey, and the Moroccan lentil soup was a nice light vegetarian option. The superstar treats were the two Mary Macleod shortbread cookies: chocolate and maple. The crunchy little maple chunks made the not-too-sweet cookies absolutely sing. Kitchen and barista service definite needs to be better coordinated as we weren't the only table left waiting for our order, but overall a very cool shop in a gorgeous warehouse loft space. Love all the local Canadian goods! read more

I work in the distillery and so I often grab lunch somewhere in and around the neighbourhood. The service can be spotty but the food is always fantastic. Having eaten at nearly every restaurant, bar, bakery and cafe in the area, hands down this is my fav. Note: Possibly best mac and cheese in the city. read more

The two stars are for the good food and products which they have. However the staff is incredibly rude. Just moved to distillery area, would have made this spot my new place to go but damn are the staff bitter. Very obvious that they do not enjoy their jobs lol. One guy kept snapping on me when I asked him a question, the second time the lady was organizing receipts while I'm standing there waiting to order for like 2 minutes before finally just looking up and staring at me.... then punching in my order without saying a word to make it known I've somehow inconvenienced her. Whack read more

This is a fabulous place with great ambience and loving staff. And they bake their own delicious scones and bagels!

Imaginative grilled cheese and butter chicken poutine! They have an excellent assortment of cheeses that we didn't try looked great.
