| - Bored of the neighbourhood lunch options, I stopped in after seeing sign outside advertising the special of the day, a pulled pork sandwich with fries for $7.95. Given my unofficial quest to eat every pulled pork sandwich in Toronto, I gave it a try. It was actually good and satisfying with a really sweet barbecue sauce surrounding the shredded pork between the panini bun. While not memorable, I was pleased for an impromptu take out sandwich.
I've been to other Croissant Tree's and was never really enthused with my experience, but this location seem especially inviting. Really open and spacious interior with tall ceilings and lots of windows. Lots of seating and what looked like a decent patio on the side as well. They even serve booze, which I didnt notice in the one down south of King St that I visited last.
My only complaint was my side dish. I ordered french fries, as they seemed like the standard compliment to my pulled pork sandwich. Unfortunately while looking good, I'm not sure if the oil they used was old or used to cook lots of different things in it, but the fries had a weird taste to them. And its funny because while I was waiting for it to be all to be prepared (I got take out), I was staring at the salad bar of crazy good looking mediterranean pasta salads, quinoa salads, caesar salads, garden salads... Everything looked better than those damn french fries so I almost knew my impulsive french fry order would haunt me.
Either way, for $9 after tax I was pleased and am going to still give the place this place 3 stars and some repeat lunch business for its other sandwich menu choices, but skipping the fries. Maybe I'll give it 4 stars when I try one of the salads.
