I have walked by this place numerous times, but never went in and tried it for some reason. I am an idiot because I've been missing out for really long time. This place is phenomenal!
It smells wonderful when you walk in. It's unmistakable. There is zero chance of there being bad food in any place that smells like this.
The pastries are delicious, far better than another bakery across the street, and this place has the greatest sandwiches I have ever had in my life. I have had a few different panini combinations and the flavours are so layered throughout each bite. I feel like standing in front of the Subway that is a couple of stores down from this place and shoving any customer that wants to get a sweet onion teriyaki and gross bread to this place and forcing them to order a panini. If they took one bite, I doubt they would ever go into a Subway again.
It takes a little while to get your order and just ordering a sandwich is not cheap (around $12), but it's more than worth it. There isn't a better place to eat lunch on the Danforth.
