| - After reading the yelp reviews of the original and still standing North York location, I made the easy decision to have a turkey and bacon sub. On a super fresh, nice and soft whole wheat bun, I bit into one of the most delicious and traditional, though basic, subs I've ever had.
Fresh bread: check.
Crispy bacon: check.
Extremely thin julienne lettuce: check, check, check.
I actually loved this sandwich because it was simple (mayo and mustard) and affordable. I was here for the media preview and the owners of the shop were extremely nice, making sure everyone was happy while publicists took polaroids of people enjoying their sammies and posted them on the back wall. This place has old timey photos from the original location that adds a nice charm to a new place. This combined with the old fashioned sandwiches should make for lots of instagrams.
So why only three stars you ask? Maybe it was because it was a preview, but the actual ordering of my sandwich was an awkward experience. I ordered but had no idea where to stand or which sammie was mine, and when the sandwich artists were making my sub I could barely hear what they were saying. It was almost as if they were talking in mumbles. I felt very put off by this, enough to reduce what would have been a 4-star review down to a 3. I'll definitely give this place another shot sometime in the future though, and shall adjust my review should I see fit.
Final thoughts: definitely worth it for the fresh subs and taste. A seat by the window looking out on King Street, or, even better, a spot on the front patio, should make you happy on a summer day.
