COBS Bread — Restaurant in Fort McMurray

I'm writing this review and giving it a 1 star because they don't understand allergies here. I went in asking about stuff that wouldn't contain certain things because of an allergy, I would have much rathered them say they didn't know for sure instead of saying for sure it would be safe for me to eat and said it for sure didn't contain any of what I couldn't eat in it.

Very disappointed that I had to come home and spread the icing myself before giving it to my husband as...

Great staff and great food! They are clearly very popular already as every day I’ve been up there there’s been a line out the door! The best time to go is around 8am there’s still a line but it’s shorter than around lunch and you won’t have to wake up at 5-6am depending on where in town you live. I’m anticipating they may open a new location downtown with how much business they seem to be getting (p.s. my recommendations are the ham and cheese croissants, the plain croissants, the cheese buns, and the cinnamon rolls, but everything...
