| - Favourite bakery in Toronto.
The servers are almost invariably unsmiling and somewhat brusque, but it doesn't matter because everything found here tastes wonderful. Prices are steep but I believe this is because they use butter, cream, chocolate, nuts, etc. generously-- at least this is what the taste and undeniable quality of the ingredients suggests.
Best bets:
Cheese blintzes: to die for. buttery, very tender blintz, with sweet, light, creamy cheese filling that has the milky-sweat cream taste of ricotta as well as the faint tang of mascarpone/cream cheese. These are proof positive that God wanted us fat.
- empanadas: (moist, well seasoned, consitently delicious, buttery pastry. I do not wish to know how much fat is in a vegetable number here, as I enjoy pretending they are healthy AND delicious).
- chocolate pistachio cookies: wherever the country of origin for these is, I want to live. Now.
- cinnamon rolls: limited quantity, as with much of their amazing inventory. they are just sweet enough, with no icing, but a super soft, impossibly pillowy texture.
- bagels: do not need butter. are insane. I want one now.
- seed loaf: puts Cobb's to shame. expensive though. omega three's aren't cheap.
I could go on, but won't. Suggest immediate patronage.
