COBS Bread — Restaurant in Ontario

In 1946, after the war, my grandfather and his brother opened a bakery in Copenhagen, Denmark. It quickly became a world renowned destination for sweets and baked goods. The brothers had reached local celebrity status and were the toast of the nation. They had plans to expand across Europe and concur the baking industry; that was until my now grandmother came along.

Both brothers fell for her when she walked into the bakery for some pastries. The brothers competed immensely for her love, but ultimately my grandfather out bested his brother. This caused a giant rift between the brothers and the bakery collapsed along with all their baking hopes and dreams.

My grandfather never baked a day in his life again until 2016 when he finally put my grandmother in a home. He baked up some of the best breads and scones I had ever tried. He passed 2 years later and I thought I would never eat scones that good again; until I went to COBS Bread in Belleville yesterday. What an experience, I loaded up on as much baked goods as I could fit into my Toyota Yaris. My grandfather and his scones may be gone, but I will never forget my first time going to COBS Bread...

I have been going to Cobs in British Columbia for close to 10 years. I was excited that Belleville was getting one! However, the quality at this location is not the same as the multiple other location I’ve been to. The mini cinnamon rolls were much smaller, flat and the icing tasted like they used hardly any cream cheese. This has been a favourite of mine for many years and I’m so disappointed. The other items I purchased have been ok, but still not the same quality that I am used...

Staff are lights out amazing. Worth the jump off the highway to grab some treats. The locals are lucky to have that place. I met Andrew, the owner. Guy had me laughing my guts out in seconds. You can't miss that boisterous voice anywhere. If you've past Belleville on the 401, and missed this Cobs, you've done yourself and the people in your car a disservice. Get off hwy and take a drive down to say...
