Walking around the Historic Distillery District of Toronto, this was one of the few places open in the evening for eating, and the menu sounded good to us so we decided to stop in and grab dinner. The awkward thing is that they have a menu that includes some hearty sandwiches and the like for a meal, but nowhere to eat it, so keep in mind it's takeout only. Despite the lack of room, it's cozy... more

Great sandwiches, yummy breads and for such a high traffic visited area. There's not anywhere to sit except outside...in the snow but that doesn't degrade the quality of their food. We had the brick street club and the boxing day sandwich. Both very different in flavors but they were devoured within minutes, so that's always a good sign. I would recommend trying multiple things while here -... more

Best baked goods in the area, on quality + pricing. People in other bake shops nearby are probably not local. Seems silly to rave about a cookie, but this is a great chocolate chip cookie, crispy at the edges, with the right mix between firm and chewy on the inner portions.

Coffee is good, you won't be amazed but it's hot, fresh, you'll like it well enough.

Pro tip: For amazing value get... more

Located a few steps from the entrance of the Distillery District, Brick Street Bakery is a cute little shop filled with fresh pastries, bread and savoury goods. Just inhale and start salivating.

We both ordered an almond croissant, which was not only massive, but cheap (came to around $2.50 after tax) and VERY tasty. They did not skimp out on the frangipane filling and the pastry was very well... more

HOLY CRAAAPPERS! This place is the gem of distillery district. As white girls ran pass me to take Instagram shots by the love wall, I ran the other way towards the delicious smell of baked goods.

The girl working there with the pretty tattoos is super friendly! She gave us one macaron free of charge because one of the ones we bought had a small crack in the shell. Macarons are a pretty decent... more

Here's the deal.

The chocolate chip cookie is just...the best thing anyone can eat. Unbelievably good

The steak and stout pie is phenomenal

The Cornish pastry is also fantastic - sometimes it's a special for $4 - best deal ever

The chili fries aren't that great, I would avoid -- but the fries are fresh cut so that's nice

You can't go wrong with bakery sweets and treats here -- it's fresh... more

Delicious bakery with long lines everytime. There aren't any seats inside the store, though they offer a few space outside. I highly recommend the sausage rolls, as they are always a best seller. The sausage rolls have a flaky texture and is warmed up to the perfect amount. The meat pies are also delicious and are about the size of a bread plate. I felt the the tarts were too sweet personally,... more

The custard (portuguese style) tarts are heavenly delicious and the coronation chicken sandwich is very tasty. Will be back!

We stopped here for some pastries after my birthday dinner. I am thinking my impression might have been a little more positive if it were a slightly less busy day -- we were still in the thick of the Pan Am Games at the time of our visit, and the Athletes Village was near to the Distillery District, making it so that pretty much every business was constantly busy.

We got a couple of butter... more

I've only had the Cornish pasties and Bakewell tarts, because they are so perfect I can't risk it and try anything else. Better than most Cornish pasties in the UK, filled with delicious beef and veggies, and fantastic crumbly pastry. Despite being very sweet (which is typical) the Bakewell tart had the perfect balance of almondy crumble and crispiness. Worth making an effort to visit, maybe... more

Brick Street Bakery makes sandwiches that it is a crime to call sandwiches. They are just too good. Between 2 slices of their incredible baked bread you can get a variety of fillings that leave you feeling like you just had a small gourmet meal. My personal fave is the vegetarian, filled with scrumptious roasted veggies. My husband loves the lamb for its balance of flavours. Each 'sandwich'... more

We stopped in for lunch and were quite excited with how good everything looked. As well as how busy they were.
I got a Thanksgiving sandwich (I LOVE these kinds of sandwiches). I did not love this one. It said it was warm, but it wasn't. And they claimed they were unable to further warm it up. Really? How is that possible - it's all one giant bakery. I was also generally disappointed - had... more

No seating. Sandwiches, croissants, loaves of bread, desserts.
We got pastries and desserts which were good.
We never tried a Nanaimo Bar. it was good with chocolate on top, cream in thr middle, and a chocolate coconut cookie on the bottom

One of the best sandwich/coffee combo I had since I moved to Toronto. Very friendly staff - just very great products. No rooms to sit except for outside

Located in the Distillery District, this place is a small, quaint little bakery, that smells delicious. I tried a custard tart and it was to die for! Amazing crust quality, and the custard was bruleed on the top so it was insanely tasty.
I've been craving one ever since.

This is my favourite bakery in Toronto. Very cute location in the distillery district. They have the best cookies I have ever tried in the city. My favourite would probably have to be the oatmeal raisin. I have tried many of the sandwiches, but the ones I have tried were great. Overall good food, good service, good location. Can't ask for much more.

This is a great bakery if you're not looking to sit down and have a meal. They don't really have seating, but there are plenty of spots to enjoy your baked goods around the distillery district.

The servers are fast, friendly and polite. Even when there is a huge line up they are willing to explain the different baked goods and any specials they have available. My personal favourites are the... more

I love this place... every time we visit the Distillery, we will step in here for some yummy pastries! Would not recommend coming here during the X'mas market times as it was INSANELY busy and the line up was all the way outside... in the cold. You know how I am w/ waiting and all... stupid time to come and on the last day! SIgh Anyhow.

The sausage rolls are amazing. But they sold out for the... more

This is the tale of the best sausage rolls in town. No kidding guys, I get weak in the knees at the very thought of those delicious savoury delights.

Ahem. Once upon a time, bf and I ventured into the Toronto Christmas Market to get into the spirit of things. (That's another story: never again on a weekend will we brave those insane crowds!)

It was a cold, blustery day, and I craved something... more

Excellent bakery. My fav here is the HOT spinach and cheese turnover and their almond croissant; with the best almond filling in town. Food is fresh and service is superb! Their egg breakfast sandwich is delicious and served on the most thick and fluffy bread, large enough to feed two!

Food was ok. Don't get the sausage roll, it was kind of gross. The piggy sandwich and almond croissant were fine. Service could be better and more welcoming.

I haven't been there in a while so I decided to stop by today and get my favourite boxing day sandwich. Now I have to ask myself.....WHAT HAPPENED?? Try chewy turkey, packaged stuffing and cold. This sandwich used to be served warm. Definitely not worth the $$ or the very long wait. Have they changed owners??

Nice, quick spot for lunch. I picked up the Brick Street Club. Definitely not what I expected, but really good. The marinated chicken was tasty. The portions are huge. The sandwich was easily big enough for 2. I was happy I stopped by.

Dear. God.

Somewhere between sampling a Cinnamon Toast Crunch ice cream (think of the milk at the bottom of the bowl turned into ice cream), the killer macarons (I tried and loved the maple, vanilla, chocolate, and lavender flavors), and the wicked good chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies, I realized this place had something special.

The confections are great and the staff was friendly.... more

My husband & I thought this bakery was totally gross. I got the spinach feta pastry and it was disgusting - dry, bland, and hardly any cheese. My husband got a sausage roll and it was not cooked properly. We got some other stuff too, but we just ended up throwing everything away because we were p@!%!d. We just ended up going somewhere else.

With their doorway just feet from the pedestrian entrance to the Distillery District, you might think they built a business out of convenient location. I can confirm that it patently untrue. I was there yesterday and the custard tart knocked my socks off! It was the perfect small treat, and so delicious. The pastry wasn't as flaky due to the custard's moisture, but it didn't take away from it... more

While walking around the Distillery District in Toronto, we decided to grab a quick bite since we were in a bit of a rush and this place fit the bill.

We tried two of their sandwiches (a pulled pork sandwich and a vegetarian one). Both were quite tasty and the bread was really fresh. I also tried two of their desserts (a cookie and a brownie) and both were quite nice.

Their prices are... more

The sandwiches here are yummy - the Boxing Day is my fave (basically Thanksgiving dinner in a sammie complete w/stuffing & cranberry sauce). The best thing I love at BSB is the sausage rolls - perfectly flaky, generous size & generous portion of deliciously seasoned sausage meat. Plus, they're fresh baked throughout the day and kept warm (best way to eat it).

Pastry-wise, I sometimes grab... more

After heading through the pedestrian entrance, I peered to my left and came face-to-storefront with Brick Street. I can rarely resist a bakery and this one was in the Distillery District -- making it even harder!

Upon walking in, I was greeted with the most wonderful smell of sugar mixed with happiness wafting through the air. Then I looked over and saw the macarons in all their glory begging... more

okay so forget the croissants and the sandwiches that were a fail here. the sausage rolls. oh.my.
I don't even like sausages but after two of my friends raved about it, I thought I would give it a try. so SO good. The pastry on the outside is super flaky, light and o so buttery. The sausage is seasoned amazingly. I would def come again just to get this!

A very business and a little pricey bakery. The service was fast and they do need to get people in and out as its a very small place inside.

I tired their spinach pastry, which was quite good and the last one left.

More like 3.5 - a solid 4 if they're not busy, because their food is very good. I love the sandwiches. But it they're busy, prepare yourself for a long wait in the chaos. They're not really organized to move quickly, so it can be frustrating.

Come here every time I stop by the Distillery District. Good for a quick snack, haven't tried the sandwiches (yet). The macarons are a bit inconsistent but edible, not as good as the other baked goods like the croissants.

Bottom line: definitely worth a try. Will be coming back.

Mediocre sandwiches with the looongest wait time ever. They don't use any spreads on their bread. Just tuna or egg salad on plain bread with a single romaine lettuce leaf. How easy is that? Why the 20 minute wait people? If there are only 10 choices, how about making a few in advance? Flavours used to be great and worth the wait but the product has become very bland tasting.

Best sandwiches in the business! The cookies are really good too. Great place, especially on a sunny day when you can sit at their bistro tables.

With many sandwich options broken out for you into two camps (cold and warm), you can't go wrong no matter what you choose. I read some Yelp reviews while in line and they recommended EVERY sandwich on the menu. I committed to the tuna, which was a large sandwich I could have easily shared with someone else. The sandwiches are on the slightly expensive side to not come with chips, soup, or a... more

The Brick Street Club is probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The only real downside is that as a result of their awesome food and small size they're often swamped and it can take a while to get your food.

Love this location! The wheat free spelt bread is fantastic (by the loaf) and they have very tasty gluten free chocolate almond cookies!

It used to be a great place to eat. But the food has gone majorly downhill. As a used to be regular and living around the corner I can list just about everything that sucks now.
The scones are literally half the size that they used to be, and not nearly as fluffy and delicious as they were but the price remained the same. I also used to always get the pulled pork, but the last few times they... more

Almond Croissant was delicious. Reminded me of a Chinese pineapple bun because of the delicious fillings inside =)

You gotta try the walnut-carrot cake though. That thing was impressive. Could've used another thin layer of frosting on top though.

Take a pass on the sausage roll though. It's dripping with oil and is a stroke waiting to happen!

Orange Marmalade White Chocolate Cookie. FOR THE WIN! We were doing an event venue search today and of course, took some time to check out the Distillery District. I saw a bakery and thought, I want a treat! Love the balance of treats, bread and lunch items. The inside is pretty bare bones and nothing to write home about but I can see how super cute the patio space is during warmer weather and... more

Brick Street Bakery is such a wonderful place located in the distillery district. The sandwiches here are amazing, I got the pulled pork and it was stuffed with meat. (see pic) Sandwiches are around $10 which is quite expensive as you don't get any sides with it. They also sell a bunch of baked goods from macaroons, tarts to scones and of course fresh bread. They also have cookies, cheese... more

The chocolate and lemon tarts are to DIE for!!!! I went back several times during my visit to Canada.

The Brick Street Bakery is the place to stop for a sandwich in the Distillery. The Boxing Day sandwich is probably my favourite then The Coronation chicken. The Tuna is pretty good too.

I can't comment on the meat pies or any of the treats.....

There is a nice seating area outside which is perfect for people watching & sandwich eating.

**The sandwiches are HUGE and great for sharing - you'll... more

Baked products are pretty good but their sandwiches are excellent. My go to is the braised lamb and peach.

Their bread is worth buying to take home.

Brick Street Bakery is a triple threat bakery. Do they act, sing AND dance? No. But they make good bread, have a nice atmosphere, and know what to do with that bread when they make you one of their Tarana famous sandwiches.

We were all dressed up and going to a wedding next door. We then realized, we'd hardly eaten all day and the ceremony was at 5:30... likely meaning we weren't eating for at... more

Stopped in here briefly to try the macarons. We got two -- the raspberry and the hazelnut. I was surprised at how tacky the inside of the macarons were, not the usual crunchy outside soft inside. It wasn't old or stale, just not as enjoyable. I did like the fruity flavor of the raspberry, though my friend mentioned it reminded her a little of fruit loops. The hazelnut had good flavor, but not... more

Best sandwiches in Toronto!

Stumbled into this place yesterday and split the turkey sandwich and the braised lamb sandwich. They were incredible and huge for the price.

Such a great deal!
