Used to be 5 stars around 2016 when the really nice bread was used for BLTs.

Deducting two stars because the new bread used tastes like cake. Too sweet!

Bring the old stuff back!!!

Located in the Path, inside the First Canadian Place, ground level near Longo's and Suzy Shier.

I'm glad to say that the sausage rolls here are still 100% delicious!!! Nothing beats their sausage rolls whatsoever. I used to buy them on the regular when I worked in Toronto. Although they look small, they are so flavourful and filled with sausage and cheese. I noticed they have other savoury... more

The breakfast sandwich I had today so delicious
We decided to go another one for lunch on the way be around the town
We'll comeback for more
Thank you

I was called in for an interview by Shanee Silver and got interviewed by Kaleigh Halls. (I am not sure if these are their real names I am going off by their emails).Kaleigh was unprofessional at best and even though the interview started out okay she lost control of herself near the end.She even told me she was giving me a trial shift and waited until the end of the following week to tell me it... more

Since I was on the quest to find the best croissant in Toronto, I have to search high and low for these buttery goodness.

So I tried Brick Street's Chocolate Croissant today and from the outside it's aesthetically pleasing, looks crunchy and fresh plus you can see chocolates coming out from it.

As I bit into a piece of the croissant, I felt like I was biting into the 'abyss of nothingness'.... more

I bought a chocolate brioche here and it was fresh and fluffy. There was a thin tube of chocolate in the middle and the quality was good. It was not too sweet, it was just right for my taste. It was just a bit pricey for such a small size brioche. There were other options in the shop. I also look forward to try their other products.

I only tried the lamb kofta wrap, which was pretty good. It was much heartier and more filling than it looks, and it wasn't that well wrapped and fell apart as soon as I picked it up. The sauce was good and I enjoyed the sandwich overall, but as I was eating a solo kofta that fell out of the sandwich, I realized that it was actually not that flavorful alone and on the dry side. Overall fine... more

Mmm delicious coffee and yummy oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. Breakfast of champions!

Tried their lemon tart which was quite dense and overly sweet. The cashier made the experience worse by acting very nonchalant and rather annoyed when being asked for clarification on the filling used in the nanaimo bars, who responded several times with "have you ever had a nanaimo bar?!" without directly answering my question, as if it's as common as a chocolate chip cookie.

There are plenty... more

Their Coronation Chicken Sandwich is the best. Period. Drop everything and go and get one.

While I can't argue about the quality of their products - read other reviews if you want to find out how tasty their pies, bread, cakes, tarts, etc. are - I find their staff 'off-putting'.  Any time I've gone there, it almost seems like they're doing me a favor and they'd rather be anyplace else.   Although I hesitate to call them outright rude, they could certainly sharpen their customer... more

I only order 1 sandwich: British Style Egg Salad. It's that good.

Being British this is the sandwich for me, and it should be for you too. They make it big here, on thick slices of freshly baked Organic White loaf, using just enough sauce so it doesn't drip on your fresh pressed white shirt, and lots of smashed eggs to get you through the rest of the day.

As for the other stuff there are a... more

Located in the PATH right across the Longo's, north of TD Towers, in First Canadian Place, this location has a pretty decent variety of fresh desserts and lunch options.

I've visited a couple of times for their custard tarts, and overall, they taste fine, but they're pricier compared to other Portuguese custard tarts you can purchase in the GTA.

On my most recent visit, I came in a little... more

Been here a few times. So far, everything has exceeded expectations from their lemon tarts to their cookies (I had the lemon poppyseed cookie and it was an excellent balance of sweetness and tartness) to more savoury goods such as their pulled pork sandwiches and Cornish pastries was really good. I'm looking forward to trying out their pies and other pastries!

It is an above average option in the PATH system underneath the TSX stock market and across from Langos, The soup is the best. I enjoy their Kelp soup for its freshness and apparent all-natural contents. The BLT is nothing special. The meatloaf is similarly average, but has superior bread. The Coronation Chicken is their best sandwich. Like their other options the above average bread/buns... more

Was expecting my usual Boxing Day sandwich which I normally pick up at the Distillery location. However, this location for the Boxing Day sandwich is AWFUL!!! It`s grizzly to say the least, the turkey being dry, tendon-y, and appears it was scrounged together and picked off a day old turkey. Should not have been sold! This location is definitely not as good as the distillery location for both... more

I have genrally avoided this place becasue most of their offerings are not as healthy as the types of lunches I typically eat.  But I went here with a colleague and decided to have the chilli.  I am not a picky eater and usually will eat anything but ...... it was terrible. The seasoning seemed to have clove in it (gross) and did not taste anything like a regular chili, it was full of large... more

Taking away 1 star because I sometimes get baked items (croissants, pastries) that taste not-so-fresh... but I still find myself coming to this bakery for other items.

Recently tried the sandwiches, my favorite so far is the lamb kofta wrap. The sandwiches are a bit of a wait, especially during the lunch rush. (The grilled cheese will take at least 10 minutes)

Their tollhouse cookies are amazing! A must try!

This bakery is one of the reasons why I come back to the Distillery district. We stumbled upon this place a while back in search of a snack, and were fortunate to try the Sausage Rolls. My goodness, these rolls are all kinds of flaky buttery goodness, not to mention the tasty sausage contained within! Wasn't a fan of their Sheppard's Pie, as the meat or spice had a bit of an off-putting taste... more

Pros

Fresh bread and ingredients
Large portions (I managed to eat my sandwich in 2 meals)

Cons
The 'hot' boxing day (Turkey) sandwich was stone cold and so was not enjoyable to me. But if you like cold food it's not bad. Taste was fine just not what was promised.
Long lines

The pies here are, surprisingly for food court food, a bit underflavoured (and I'm someone who prefers mild food). The cookies are alright - nothing special for the price.

I'm very pleased to have found another good lunch option in the financial district!

The service here is always friendly, even when there's a long lineup. The food is always solid.

The meatloaf sandwich is SO good. The slice of meatloaf is kind of on the thinner side but it's absolutely enough, and it's served on the most delicious, fresh, fluffy, crusty bread. I wouldn't have chosen the... more

I had their Chicken Club this week and all I can say is "yuck". The chicken is totally gross, shreds and chunks tossed in some kind of flavor that resembles El Paso taco seasoning from the grocery store. I will give them credit for the sandwich being quite large and the bread was very nice and fresh. Employees were friendly. Perhaps other things on their menu would be better but I was quite... more

Another really good PATH food court option, with some great sandwiches and other options. I've not tried their meat pies or pasties yet but that'll have to change. It'll be hard to shake me from their Coronation Chicken sandwich.

Yes, I'm a fan. Great sandwiches, they are friendly, and they process a lot of people quickly.

A quick note on quality: I had an untoasted roast beef last week, which had very little meat in it and almost tasted freezer burned! Bread was dry, and the meat had no moisture or flavour to it.

Not close to being up to snuff.

I'll give it another chance, as I'd hate to think they're cutting... more

Tough turkey

I really wanted to like this place, the decor is right up my street and the menu looked really inviting. Sadly the experience was far from perfect. There is no guidance on how to order, two girls leaping between a serving hatch and the tills and you're not sure whether to order at the hatch or the tills, people are... more

1. Burnt croissant
2. Croissant not flavorful
3. Hot chocolate, made with milk still not flavorful, my guess not enough chocolate syrup or powder!!!

Will I come back.... Always... Not sure why!!!

Thank goodness for good company :)

AMAZING! Check this spot out

I recently payed a trip to Brick Street Bakery in the Distillery District. What a fantastic little spot! With such a variety of tasty treats, there truly is something for everyone. The food was amazing and the staff were incredibly bubbly and helpful! Will definitely be back for more!!

As I walked by the busy area, the wonderful fragrance of butter lured me in. The place looked rather bold, and the name "Brick Street Bakery" suits it just perfectly. I ordered a few croissants (butter, cheese, and chocolate) and they were absolutely delish, crispy, and buttery. Also tried their tarts (hazelnut, and pecan) and I've never had such amazing tarts before. Of course, you can't... more

Good Sandwiches in distillery District

My wife and I had lunch at the bakery during a visit to the Distillery District. They have a wide variety of sandwiches, soups, and cookies. Everything we had was very good. The service is a bit slow and the young women behind the counter were not very friendly, a rarity in Toronto.

Less than stellar experience

I visited Brick Street Bakery on January 3rd for lunch. I ordered the "Boxing Day" sandwich, which was satisfying, but not spectacular by any means. The breads and cookies look delicious, and their list of hot and cold sandwiches is really impressive. The store is tiny but cozy, and the outdoor tables are perfect for people watching on a warm... more

Macarons and veggie sandwhiches

I've visited their distillery district location twice, both times ordering their veggie sandwich and macrons. The sandwich was very flavorful and the pesto used in it is perfect. The first time I visited the place was empty and the service was great. Second time was during the Christmas market and the place was packed and it took us almost 40... more

Great Food , Served with attitude (Distillery Location

We visited the Distillery location on December 29th 2013 at 12:30 p.m. . The food is awesome with cornish pasties and spinach feta turnovers being real stars.
To the girl who served us you however are laughable in your attitude. If you hate your job please quit and stop taking it out on the customers. In the middle of the... more

I found a new "completely love it" item at Brick Street Bakery - PALMIERS!! $2 and they're bigger than your hand (unless you're a giant). It's dangerously yummy. I would eat this a lot more often if I hadn't seen Martha Stewart make this dessert on tv. recently =O

There are so many options for lunch in the PATH, but this is one of the top picks. Their turkey chilli is a standard in my lunch each week. The pulled pork sandwich is a monster and when I eat it, I am not hungry for dinner later.

This gem of a bakery is situated in the basement of the First Canadian Place. I came in the quiet hours between the morning insanity and lunch hour zoo. So for me, I wafted in the gently simmering fragrance of mushrooms, leeks, and bacon in the soup and still fresh cinnamon buns in tranquil peace and with attentive service. I can imagine this place getting harried with the lines of bankers... more

Good coffee; friendly staff

In short: Have visited Brick Street bakery on numerous occasions; great, friendly staff and good coffee. They have two locations, one in distillery, the other on the PATH (I mostly frequented the one on the PATH).

this is a place which makes you want to come back for the food and NOT want to come back because of service.

what i have : I go there usually for various sandwiches: tuna, blt, pulled pork, egg salad, all of which I find outstanding,

the service is generally quite unpleasant, and overall service has to easily be the worst that I have to encounter at the PATH anywhere. It almost seems like... more

Spinach Turnovers are a must

Another fantastic bakery in the heart of downtown. The prices a re reasonable for the size and quality of all the baked goods.
Definitely a good light casual Sunday brunch spot!

The Walnut Brownie WAS delicious! Date Square is next.

Thanks again for the reco black glasses girl.

Conveniently located in the PATH I have frequented this bakery from time to time during my lunch breaks. The bakery itself is a typical "PATH" sized restaurant - no seats, just a walk in and take out sort of deal. Lineups during lunch hour are long and at times can get a bit disorganized, however, the staff members do their best to maintain some sort of order and they do get through the lines... more

Croissants are very good. My wife and I love croissants and I'd say it's in the top 3, I've had in the city.

I really like their Little Bro coffee.

Sandwiches are not that good. If you're gonna spend $10 on a sandwich, just go to Fast Fresh.

Chicken tarragon is great. Skip the sandwich and get this instead.

Love their sandwiches and daily deals! I'm a regular customer, and love that they have so many options for lunch. Would eat their bread every day if I could!

No Bricks Through This Window

There is a Brick Street Bakery in First Canadian Place close to where I work. I discovered that they have half sandwhiches, freshly prepared every day, and most of them only cost $4! That's a deal.
I ordered the Coronation Chicken 1/2 Sandwhich for the first time the other day and have returned 2x since then for the same. The... more

Best sausage rolls ever

I go out of my way when in Toronto to stop and get a sausage roll for lunch here. Listening to the constant request for sausage rolls from other patrons as I waited for my sandwich confirms that opinion. Their sandwiches are great and Huge. Anything I've tried on their menu has been great, then I pair it with coffee... more

Extremely popular with locals; lovely for informal Sunday morning breakfast

We wanted to see the Distillery District before leaving Toronto and needed breakfast before going to a Blue Jays game, and we found the Brick Street Bakery just inside the open gates to this charming car-free shopping and restaurant district created by entreprenuerial artists, shopkeepers, and restauranteurs. There are other places to have breakfast within a hundred steps, but we... more

Loved their Soup and Chili

If you go, make sure you try the soup and chili in addition to their great sandwiches. My wife just raved about her chilled asparagus soup which was the perfect tonic for a hot Toronto summer day. The chili was very hearty and flavorful.

Awesome Coronation Chicken Sandwich

I've worked in the financial district here in Toronto since 2000. The best sandwiches I've discovered while working here were discoveries made just this year (2012), the smoked meat sandwich at Longos (which is amazing!) and Brick St.'s Coronation Chicken sandwich. I've only had the half sandwich which is huge and only $4.00... ($7.50 if you want a whole one,... more

I came here in to satisfy a pastry craving (thanks UK for creating this monster in me!!!) and on 2 visits I made in this week, I had dark roast coffee, butter croissant and a butter scone.

The service is nice, helpful and friendly. The dark roast coffee was too strong for me. First of all, I actually don't like coffee and it doesn't sit well with me either! The croissant was alright; I've had... more

A Superb Place to buy bread and sandwiches

We frequent Brick Street. There are 3 locations: the Distillery, the Beach plus the one near us in Leslieville. Their sandwiches are peerless. Proof of that can be found each day around say, 1:00----they're all sold out by then, guaranteed. The loaves of bread and sweets are also very good. Two areas for improvement might be: a) arrange for Visa... more

I have enjoyed a few Brick Street Bakery sandwiches at the Distillery and Queen East locations.

So I was thrilled this week to discover a location in the PATH!

I went today and picked up my favourite - the Coronation Chicken sandwich, and it was just as I remember it - DELICIOUS! My husband got the meatloaf sandwich, and loved that too. The place was bustling and busy, but the staff were... more

I feel like I've been here enough to properly review it... I stop here 3 mornings a week and often for lunch.

This is a pretty straight-forward bakery aimed squarely at the office worker lunch crowd. Great selection of hot and cold sandwiches-- I've had almost all of them and my faves are the Boxing Day turkey and the braised lamb. Also the meatloaf special (which seems to be available every... more

Dropped by after seeing couple reviews since I was in the midst of searching for bakeries. It was a little tricky to find....but what isn't when it's located in PATH? Somehow found it after wandering around for a minute or two.

Didn't see much bread when I first walked in...but soon spotted the croissants people raved about in the corner. I wanted to get all 3 to try (butter, chocolate and... more

You'll come for the croissants, you'll stay for the Chicken Tarragon pie.

By far the best croissants I've had in downtown Toronto. Flaky? Check. Buttery? Check. Their butter croissants are amazing, but their chocolate and almond croissants are ridiculous! I'm there at least once a week for a croissant. Truthfully, I would have one everyday if I wasn't afraid my a@s would bust out like a navy... more

I went in last week because I was looking for some treats to share with my colleagues and really had a craving for some macaroons. The display is really nice. Not only do they have an assortment of sweets but they also serve savory items and in fact I saw quite the queue during lunch.

I went during a busy time of day. I ordered six macaroons for $10, normally they are $2 each. Service was... more

Te Aro coffee at King and Bay! Awesome!

This little bakery is a great addition to First Canadian Place. They probably don't do the baking on site, but I think I found a new favourite place to get my croissants. They have some great tarts, bigger cases than the one in the distillery but I think less selection since they likely ship them in in the morning.
The sweets aren't too pricey and are comparable to the Chinese bakery just 3... more

The Distillery's popular bakery just opened up a new location at First Canadian Place. The smell of fresh baked bread in the morning is a wonderful way to greet me in the morning on my way into work.

In addition to fresh-baked breads, they sell sandwiches, sweet and savoury desserts including my favourite treat: macaroons! They're limited on flavour, I counted six different ones in total, but... more
