Don’t let the fact of a few steps below ground deter you. This mecca (pictured above) for sweet tooths and bread devotees offers exquisite Italian treats made with natural ingredients and organic flours. Sourdoughs, Focaccias, Amaretto Cookies and Biscotti are all so good, you should get at least two of everything.
They also have fresh juices, salads and sandwiches, for those wishing for a healthy meal to go.
Win-win.
The modern industrial-style bakery at King and Bathurst pays homage to the traditional Italian baking of the owner’s youth. Andrea Mastrandrea is a third-generation baker, using recipes handed down in his family. He quit his day job three years ago to make sure the bread he loved would continue to be made and sold. He uses only whole and ancient grains and nothing artificial in his foccacia, sourdough, cornbread and fruit and nut loaves. Sweet tooths will be happy to know that the bakery has biscotti, almond cookies and other sweet delicacies on offer, as well.
