| - Brick Street Bread is one of a number of places that sell freshly baked bread in this area of the city. It's a very cute and enticing little building that screams "come get freshly baked delicious carb goodness".
Brick Street does offer a number of different types of breads, as well as pastry, and pre-made sandwiches. I've only tried the bread so I can't speak to any of the other items they sell. There seems to be a wide variety of breads. I've tried the Country White Baguette and the Small Whole Wheat Loaf.
The first thing i noticed was the prices were rather high. I opted for the small whole wheat loaf, which is 3.75 and rather reasonable but there is a large whole wheat loaf that is $7, which seems a bit insane to me. The bread was good but not good enough to justify a $7 loaf of bread.
The service was mediocre. I went in at lunch time and there was a very long line of people and one person manning the counter, only she wasn't manning the counter, she was helping someone on the phone and didn't seem to be in any rush to assist the many people filling up the small store. In my opinion, when you have a line almost out of the door tell the person on the phone to call back and help the people in line.
Also they don't have a bread slicer.... not a big deal, but when you sell sandwich loafs of bread, it should be an option. I find whenever I try to cut my own sandwich bread slices they end up way too thick and I waste half the loaf. It's a bakery, it should have a bread slicer.
All in all, the bread was good, the service kind of sucked. I would go back at some point but I'm in no rush. I think I'll check out some of the other bakeries in the neighbourhood first.
