You can always judge a place by how busy it is. If you're reading a review from someone saying " I don't know what all the hype is about". Well, if there were any truth to that, then the place would not be packed full of customers almost from opening to closing time.
I have tried a lot of different food items here. I can say that almost everything was much better than average. My favourites are the apple fritters and huge cold cut sandwiches. Custom ordered sfogliatelle cake is the best in Toronto. And if you don't know what this is...I suggest you order one. It is pronounced

Yes some days you may get a food item that wasn't as good as the last time. This is based on a constellation of factors. But then you go back again, and it was better then the first time.
I am Italian and I have been to almost every Italian bakery in Toronto. My opinion by far that this bakery is the best.
And whomever compared their donuts to Tim Hortons must have lost their sense of smell and taste. People don't line up and take numbers to buy Tim Hortons donuts. One day I was placing an order and three different customers kept interrupting asking if there were any apple fritters left.
