| - I can't believe I haven't reviewed Lazy Loaf! Lazy loaf is just off Parkdale Crescent NW along with other small shops and restaurants. It's near the ice cream stop - Lic's. They do have a parking lot but it is shared so on weekends it can get quite packed. The first time I visited lazy loaf was last year and it was love at first sight. I walked into a display of fresh baked cakes, squares, cookies, breads, loaves. It was really heaven for me. My first ever visit, I was on some stupid diet so I didn't have any sweets (I KNOW RIGHT?) - I remember I had a sandwich and the ordering process is quite simple. You grab a piece of paper, check off what you want and bring it to the front. Their in house bread is quite good. You are able to order half sandwiches as well. I noticed they offer soups, salads and pastas as well as they have typical breakfasts in the morning. There is not really a designated area to line up so people line up along the display and into the dining area. It can get a bit tight if it's busy and sometimes I'm sure it can be a pain to find a seat.
This review is based mainly on the baked goodies. I visit Lazy Loaf when I'm craving something sweet (all the time) and I'm always excited to visit because they have cake pops, macarons, other squares and cakes that change throughout the week so it can be a surprise the next time I walk in. Lazy loaf has the best carrot cake I've tried - super moist and the cream cheese is sweet and delicious. The ginger cookie sandwich is amazing - two huge soft ginger cookies with a heaping of cream cheese frosting in the middle, these can get messy if you try and break off pieces as it squishes the cream and goes all over but nonetheless always tasty! The chocolate cake here is one of my favorite in the city - just please try it, you won't regret it. Dense but moist cake (yes dense but moist) with some amazing chocolate frosting in between the layers, I'm not sure if its chocolate cream cheese but whatever it is, it's top notch. I've had the turtle brownie, again, amazing. It's heavy but when you bite into it, it's like you wouldn't expect this dense brownie to be soft, the caramel and pecans on top is a sweet sweet sin. Right now, they've got a peanut butter cup and its really good, chocolate layer with homemade peanut filling - I tell myself there is protein in these cups so I don't feel as guilty.
I promise the moment you walk in, you'll be excited! Because every time I walk into lazy loaf (which is quite often) I'm ALWAYS excited.
Lazy Loaf, thank you for always being there for my sweet tooth *emoji with heart eyes*
