Mother’s Deli & Bakery

What a great deli should be like. Fast and friendly service and quality meats. Owner goes out of his way to make you feel like you belong and the option of picking your own buns for the kind of meat you want in your sandwich is great. Will certainly return, often.

Went in for the beef patties that were sold out at 11:45am. Ugh! I went for the veal sandwich & 6.50 and the sausage roll $ 2.50.
The veal was dry but the rest of the sandwich was great with grilled veggies and lots of tomato sauce. The sausage roll was fantastic, especially if you like sausage rolls. Service was pretty friendly. Would go back and try the roast beef and beef patty!

Ted is amazing, he and his wife know everyone in Unionville and we love them back. They also love ALL the kids who walk over from Berczy school next door for lunch and treat them all w just as much respect as a VIP — once my 11 yr old was $ 2 short on his lasagna meal (I wasn’t there) and Ted said don’t worry about it. The food is incredible especially veal sandwiches and those amazing shortbread desserts — I wish them all the good fortune they deserve– sincerely Trish

It’s fine. I’d go back if I were in the area but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

I’ve been here for years, ever since I was an elementary student at the school nearby. Not only is the boss there friendly and eager to make conversation with you, the food is great and cooked with a lot of favour. Always a plus!

This is the best deli you’ll come across.
Low priced, great tasting, and good attitude.
Every thing you’ll get is fresh and home made.
The owner (Ted) is nice and friendly, welcoming his guests with a wave and serving you with a smile.
The specials are to die for, usually pasta of some sort with Ted’s homemade sauce for only 4.50. If you’re not for pasta try something new and buy a beef patty, spicy or not, for 1.60.
Located right beside a school, it tends to be busy around 1, but this is the only downside.
A nice family run place to eat in a nice neighbourhood with a friendly atmosphere. Though the kids can sometimes be loud and rowdy (I should know, I was part of them), it’s still not a place to pass down. if you’re in the area, go for it.

Amazing service with a smile every time. We have been long time customers (over ten years). Ted, the owner, is great! Their beef patties are our favourite.

Large variety of delicious and wholesome food. Warm, friendly staff. These two factors, along with a nice area to sit down make this place a definite win! (I particularly recommend the No.3 Sandwich and the home-​made beef patty.)

Just a great place in general (: I’ve been coming here for over four years, never fails to disappoint.

Mother’s Deli is a medium sized family-​owned place, with great food for amazing prices. Their main draws are catering, lunch, and pre-​cooked meals. There’s an amazing assortment of options, and something for everyone, vegetarians, picky eaters, and those with allergies. Mother’s is a nut-​free environment, which is great for students at the school close by. For lunch, there’s some great options, the special (pasta, turkey, poutine, etc.) that is only served on weekdays, pre-​cooked options (homemade beef patties, sausage rolls, pockets) that are heated up for you, and sandwiches/​wraps (which are fully customizable). I highly recommend the falafel wrap, a great choice for vegetarians, and the sandwiches, which are loaded with meat. Some of my personal fave meats are the homemade roast beef (a must try if you’re new to mother’s), the Montréal smoked meat (arguably the biggest portioned), and the spicy calabrase (That’s off the standard menu, but you can order a sandwich with any meat on the deli board, just ask the price first). Ted (the owner) and his wife are friendly, and make sure you get what you want. The catering is also a big draw. I haven’t had the catering, though if it is as good as everything else on the menu, you will enjoy it. They also have great free-​run turkeys for the holidays (the stuffing is to die for!) and tomatoes from Mark Cullen’s (a famous gardener who writes for the Toronto Star) garden. As well, check out the drinks, which are cheaper then the equivalent next door. Considering the price, I’d say the service is the best I’ve had at a place with such a cheap menu.
Overall, Mother’s is a great lunch place with a good bang for buck.
Service: ⁵⁄₅

Value: ⁶⁄₅
Tips: Located fairly close to a school, it will be very busy between 12:50 and 1:50 on weekdays.
Get drinks from here instead of Daisy Mart (A convenience store next door). It’s cheaper and you’re supporting local business!
Sandwiches can be ordered with any meat and most cheeses that are on the board.
Specials are always $ 4.50

My vegan buddy has been raving for months over the falafel sandwiches served at Mother’s deli so I finally swung by one afternoon.
Ted, the owner of the deli is a really friendly guy who greeted us with a warm smile as soon as we came in.
I waited about ten minutes for the falafel sandwich as the falafel was being made fresh.
My buddy was right, the sandwich was delicious. The spices blended really well the toppings and the sauce that Ted added.
I was still a little hungry so Ted suggested I try one of the beef patties, which to my surprise was larger than both my hands and only $ 2. It was a little spicy, but Mother’s deli is definitely my new go to place for falafels and beef patties.

Great service and fresh food daily!
He never scams people for the food they get, and he always does his best to give the most he possibly can in a sandwich.
I’m a vegetarian so he adds many mixes and options to my sandwich.

Mother’s Deli is a fantastic spot owned by Ted, a guy who always has a smile on his face. Ted offers up great options for breakfast and lunch on the go as well as prepared meals for dinner. I always hit Ted’s for his fantastic Roast Beef for sandwiches, but he has lots of options for a hot lunch. Definitely a local favorite run by a guy with a big heart!
Ted also offers up fresh Turkeys for the holidays, which are free range; freshly prepared and bottled pasta sauce at harvest time and fresh Tzatziki that is killer.
