I've walked by the Foodwares market many times-its located on the lower level of the Queen St Bay, easily accessible from the subway station and/or PATH. I was excited to try it out because of its modern look with tasty fresh breads on display in the windows.
But alas experience did not live up to my expectations. Service was poor. I asked the server behind the deli stand if they would make a fresh panini for me (their menu on the back wall indicated this option). She told me I could not have a fresh made sandwich, but only the pre-packaged ones in the central fridge. Hmm...so I asked again, noting I wanted a salmon sandwich but there were none in the fridge. She then agreed to make me a fresh panini. But the thing is, I'm pretty sure the fresh made panini is a permanent option regardless of what is in the fridge. She made the sandwich in a very lack-luster manner, didn't put my capers on, didn't know her breads or make any suggestions.
The panini itself tasted good. On the small side for ~$10.
I also got a side soup tomato florentine. The serving size was again very small (less than 6 ounces) and nothing special about the soup.
The total cost of my lunch was $14. That isn't bad, but I could of went many other places with better quality and service (i.e., Sage, Freshii, La Prep).
The seating area was also dirty. Felt like I was eating at McDonalds.
