COBS Bread — Restaurant in Toronto

My bad for not dropping in sooner.

I’ve never been to a Cobs before today. Have often peered in, but never gone in to the one that’s just around the corner from me. Then I had the opportunity to sample a couple breads at a friends place, and that’s all it took.

What a great selection and oooh sooo fresh. It’s a real danger zone for me since bread and butter tops my list of favourite things to eat. Be careful, if you’re trying to manage your weight, this may not be the place for you. But if bread is your jam, and you haven’t visited, you absolutely must.

I plan to (slowly) work my way through all the choices, then pick my favourites. Only one bread missing from their large assortment - a rye bread with caraway. And they don’t seem to have a dark rye either. But tons of other choices. Go crazy!

I would suggest the Royal York/ Liberty Village locations for better service/quality over the...

I had a very disappointing experience at this location. When I walked in, I was not acknowledged, even though I noticed every other customer being greeted. The service I received was poor — when my items were placed in a box, I was told to move them around myself so the icing wouldn’t smear, and I was even left to close the box on my own.

The staff member’s name tag said Lucy. Based on how differently I was treated compared to others, I felt I was not treated fairly, possibly because I am a person of colour. This was hurtful and unacceptable.

I will not be returning to this location, and I will not recommend it to any of my family or friends in the area due to the poor and unfair customer service I...
