Cobs Bread

Delicious. They would have 5 stars if they still made their soft, yummy sourdough but apparently it no longer exists! So, I live in the area and have ventured to other bakeries and have found Cobs is far better. We get all our bread from here and it is always fresh and tasty. Now, I cannot even thinking of buying bread from the grocery store. I also feel like a lot of people hate on Cobs because they’re a successful chain. And they’ve been successful for a reason: they make good bread and have universal bread standards. I love Cobs! This location may not be the best (they do seem to lack an abundance of bread, especially after the noon hour) but it is my go-​to and I will not be ashamed just because they’re not a one-​off independent shop.

I don’t get this location at all. Whenever I come here for the apricot fruit roll it’s dry… like it’s from the day before. They say it’s made daily and I presume so because they donate leftovers, I don’t understand why and how this can be dry when I get it after noon on a weekend.
The annex locale is still fresher than this one. When you go mid day expect them to be sold out of stuff. Whereas the annex one keeps making stuff throughout the day. I guess I can understand why they run out of stuff early, slow traffic means slow business…
Was hoping things had changed since my last review but no, sigh

Have been buying at Bloor store particularly the square block loaf 4 at a time
Curious if they use High fructose corn syrup which is almost a poison in our human systems. Cob site is down so cannot find anything from them
Yes goes stale quickly so refridge or freeze

Love grabbing fresh bread, especially the raisin rolls, its their most popular and its a great to go tummy filler and also it works well with a coffee or latté.

We loved this bakery when we stumbled upon it during a recent visit to Toronto. We sampled the cape seed bread and knew we had to buy a loaf to bring back to the states. Wonder if they’ll ship internationally!

In the general picture, I love Cobs.
One thing that makes this Cobs stand out (and my favourite out of many that I’ve been to) is the workers there. Their service they deliver is excellent! Always nice and super informative about the baked goods/​breads they carry! Definitely worth a visit if you are in Kensington Market or even Chinatown.
Have been coming back to this location often and will always think about it when I’m in the area!

My name is Allison and I’m a carboholic.
I was a very regular regular at the Bloor Street location when I lived in the Annex and must say this location pales in comparison. While the product is the same in Kensington, I find the store to be less clean (not necessarily dirty… just less clean comparatively), the selection less bountiful (I had one of their summer lemon treats once, ONCE, and then never saw them again), and the service significantly less friendly. Once a staff person acknowledged me by turning my way and raising his eyebrows! I also wonder about the staff’s listening skills, particularly that of a woman who must work full time hours as she’s often there during the weekdays: I frequently have to remind her 3 or 4 times of my order if I’m getting multiple items, and then remind her I’m not done ordering! It’s quite disappointing, because I love Cobs bakery goods; I buy a loaf of their bread every week and a half without fail, their buns at least once every few weeks, and often treat myself to a scone after those particularly difficult night shifts.
Will I be back? Oh yes; as I said, I loves me some Cobs bread (and buns, and scones…). But sadly, I just won’t enjoy it as much as I used to.

Awesome chocolate croissants, danish pastries and scones. Get ‘em all.

Yummm! Delicious raspberry and pumpkin scones! And just like Grainne said, super nice and friendly staff. They make buying bread and other butt fattening stuff that much better!
The bakery is full of delicious looking baked goods, including artisan breads, croissants, chocolate croissants, cookies, etc… Everything looks good. I got the pumpkin loaf and a few scones. Everything is yummy!
They will slice your bread as thick or thin as you want it. 4 scones plus the loaf was $ 9.00 tax included :)

Back again today for another scone. Guy serving me was so so friendly! It’s not often I walk out of somewhere beaming just because someone is genuinely pleasant. Their staff are almost as sweet as their buns… I’m hooked!

I discovered this place 3 weeks ago while entertaining some friends from Texas. I have been back twice since then and plan on going every weekend! They have a beautiful, though small, bakery that is extremely clean. The displays are full and fresh. All of their scones are to die for! The drawback to this place is that they do not always make the same kinds of scones… so if you fall in love with one, do not expect them to have it the next time you go in.

Cob’s is a chain bakery. My bread was much drier than it should have been for ‘fresh’ baked. I’m not a fan. Acme and Ace are better.

as far as i’m concerned, this is the best loaf of sourdough in the city. one of the best i’ve ever had. prices are good, location is great, staff is friendly. the cinnamon scones are also really good. the only problem is that they sell out too quick– at the end of the day your choices will be limited to the pain de casa which is fine but not great.
they’ll slice bread for you free of charge, but since they don’t use preservatives your bread will probably only last two days before it gets hard. three before it’s inedible.
