| - I've had the opportunity to live within a few different food-friendly neighbourhoods within Toronto and have frequented some really cool local bakeries. None of them are as good as Tre Mari Bakery.
This family-run local Corso Italia gem has been in business since 1960, and offer what I consider to be the best fresh-baked bread in the city. I know of many customers who trek from the suburbs and elsewhere out of town to come here just for the bread.
However, Tre Mari offers much more than just fresh bread. They have a full deli counter, with an excellent assortment of meats and cheeses, a grocery aisle, with all the essentials (milk, eggs, frozen dinners, etc.), a take-out/dine-in counter, featuring pasta, sandwiches, salads, coffee, and pizza, and of course, a dessert counter.
Let's talk about the desserts.
I am not ashamed to admit that I've tried most, if not all of their desserts. Having a girlfriend with a sweet tooth helps, as does their tantalizing dessert display that greets you right as you walk in the store. All of their desserts are made fresh daily, which means they are as soft/gooey/crunchy/flavourful as possible.
They have an assortment of amaretto cookies that are just about the best cookies you'll find anywhere.
They have an assortment of squares/tarts/pastries that are dangerously habit-inducing.
They have tiramisu, cakes, pies, doughnuts, and zeppole.
Oh, and they have cannoli. Now, I've had many cannoli in my day. I grew up with Italian friends and neighbours, and was served home-made cannoli many times during my childhood. I enjoyed them, but never went out of my way to eat them, or thought much about them until I tried cannoli at Tre Mari.
THIS IS THE BEST DAMN CANNOLI I HAVE EVER CONSUMED IN MY LIFE.
I don't know what sorcery is at play here, but Tre Mari's cannoli are so good I am *compelled* to buy them each time I set foot in the store. The chocolate and pistachio-flavoured ones are incomparably delicious.
Tre Mari also offers catering and delivery services, as well as gift baskets and custom cakes.
Their service is impeccable. The Deleo family is always friendly and helpful, and go out of their way to say hello or offer assistance when needed.
To sum up, Tre Mari rises far above the title of "great local neighbourhood bakery". It is a destination for many devout and loyal customers and offers much more than just baked bread. I feel fortunate to live within walking distance of this family-run Toronto treasure.
