| - I love this bakery. It offers simply delicious food, everything's always fresh, and of course the added bonus of chocolates, cheeses, sodas, etc. is great. If I'm going to buy lunch at work, I'll opt to pick up one or two small things here as opposed to a lunch special or sushi for the 2000th time on Bloor Street.
Point by point, this is why I love Harbord Bakery:
Salads- They have all the classics - black bean, coleslaw, chickpea, greek, artichoke, tomato/mozz, and probably about 10 others I'm not remembering right now. I can't recall if it's a rotating menu of salads, but there's always about 12 or available, the one's i've tried (black bean, greek, chickpea, slaw) have all been perfect (never overdressed, oversweet, or oversalted).
Sweet baked goods- Seriously, these make me feel like a kid again, I buy a little pack of cookies every few weeks and their my little calming morsels of deliciousness when I feel like I deserve a little break at work. It's great. The chocolate chip cookies are huge, but delicious. I've also had their checkerboard cookies, those classic ones with the jelly dots in them, and a handful of other things I can't recall right now. Always delicious.
Breadsticks- yea these deserve their own category, hey have them in plain, with sesame seeds, spicy, sprinkled with cheese... they have them in every variety and they are yummy. If I'm hitting that 3:30 slump at work, I bolt over and grab one to get myself feeling peppy.
Artisanal Sodas - I'm usually not a fan, but they have a great variety, my favorite is the lime-lemongrass soda.
Coffee - I'm shocked at how hard it is to get a decent cup of coffee in this city. This one is cheap, and it's good.
But my favorite thing is the Chicken Wonton Soup. Now, hear me out. This soup is perfect for if you're feeling under the weather, or are feeling fabulous and want to keep your good vibes going, It's light so you can eat it before you work out but it's also hearty enough to eat after your run. Seriously, it's no frills, it's delicious, buy it and thank me later.
There's tons of stuff in here I haven't tried yet, but I trust that I will eventually.
Last but certainly not least, the lovely ladies behind the counters are always smiling and ready to help. When I'm indecisive about what I'd like to get they'll make a recommendation without being in my face about it.
I want to live in this bakery. That's pretty much what I'm saying.
