Epi Bakehouse — Restaurant in Toronto

Update: I left a review for this business based on a negative experience I had. The manager responded promptly and was very apologetic and gracious. As a customer, I respect that and thank her for her response. I have changed my rating accordingly. — I have bought from this bakery every week or two for some time now and we always spend a decent amount. We recently went and bought a box of baked goods and then decided to stay for lunch. I ordered a slice of pizza and unfortunately it slid off my plate and on to the floor. I told the young woman helping us and she said she could probably get me another and then went and spoke to the person who looked to be in charge. Surprisingly, said woman said no! We were a bit stunned. I didn’t feel entitled to a free slice but this seemed really short sighted given that we have been faithful customers. I am confident most other businesses would deal with something like that more graciously and going forward, I will be sure to give my business to them. This has turned out to be a...

The quiche is amazing but the beef bourguignon was sub par and definitely not as good as mine. Not even close. The beef was tough and chewy. They should have used a chuck and cooked low and slow to make it fork tender. It was also way too much tomato which is more Italian than French. I couldn't taste the wine at all which was a pinot noir and not burgundy. There were hardly any mushrooms in it and I don't recall any pearl onions. The mushrooms were pretty rubbery so I assume they were not browned properly ahead of time which is what imparts an earthy flavour. It was very bland and probably could have used more salt. A good beef bourguignon is very robust with depth of flavour. This had none of that. It was flat. At $23, it was grossly overpriced for barely any food that was mediocre at best. Huge disappointment. Epi can do better. Buy the quiche and forget the stew. The...

If you want to try the best Apple Pie you've ever had, come to this Epi (and earlier in the day so you can actually get your hands on one!)

Also, their pre-made frozen Mac and Cheese is SO GOOD. I'm not even exaggerating, the cheese and noodles are perfection (note: doesn't include breadcrumbs but you can add those in when you put it in the oven, if that's your preference).

It's not a cheap bakery, but their food is truly delicious and worth bringing as a dessert to a gathering (holidays, events etc).

Their quiches are also very tasty, and I'd say most of their on-the-go items are reasonably priced and fresh/good quality.

Don't mind the editting of one photo, I tried to erase my partner from the photo to preserve his...
