Cobs Bread is a very tempting stop that is hard to avoid while you walk through the Annex along the north side of Bloor. With dozens of tempting bread varieties, as well as specialty pastries and desserts, sometimes you just need to pop in and see what they have that day.
My very favorite offering at this location is their cinnamon rolls. Which brings me quickly to my next point, which is their great customer service. If you want an iced roll and there are only non-iced ones left, the helpful staff will whisk it away and slather it up for you without a second thought.
The bread itself, including savory cheese rolls and other flavored rolls, are some of the best you can get in the area. And with so many different things to try, you may need to make a stop or two.
Cobs always has something up front in the clear lucite "sample box" whether it be sliced up raisin bread to try or something new that they want you to try. The staff will occasionally toss in an extra scone to round out your order, or offer you a taste of something that's not out on display already. This type of hospitality is what makes Cobs so popular and ensures that people keep coming back.
