You need to eat here! - Edit
We enjoyed two sandwiches and fries. All the food looked incredible and we can’t wait to slowly try everything. Very friendly staff, beautiful spot and delicious comfort food. So happy we got to try this new vegan gem. Can’t wait to come back!

Delicious and Delightful - Edit
Lovely restaurant with thoughtful attention to details across the board. It opened just a few weeks ago and everything was perfect. The menu is extensive and our choices were delicious. We ordered takeout at the restaurant but plan to return repeatedly to eat in. Fans of Gia will be thrilled.

This place rules - Edit
We feasted at Stefano's! Garlic knots, Eggs Benedict, and Italian Sub were all fantastic! Fried potatoes were extra crispy and delicious, and the mimosas were especially tasty, both the traditional and blood orange. The vegan meats on the sandwich were phenomenal, can't say I've had three types on a sandwich before that were all unique and excellent. The staff was super friendly, music was great, and the aesthetic of the place was charming. We just totally pigged out and had an awesome time. We're not from Toronto so will be missing this place hard until our next visit.

Amazing brunch spot! - Edit
Came here for a late brunch. We got the garlic knots, eggs benedict, and an Italian sub. Everything was amazing! The ham they use on the sandwich and on the eggs benedict was super flavorful. I also had a mimosa and my partner had a local beer. It’s great that they do brunch until 4pm and had so many things on the menu we’d definitely want to come back and try everything. The staff were super friendly and let us hang out for a while. It’s a bit pricey but totally worth it for the quality of the food and cozy atmosphere. One of the best all vegan spots we’ve been to in Toronto.

Loved the sandwiches. Yes, a bit pricy, but they’re filling and prices have gone up everywhere! Can’t wait to go back.

This place has potential - Edit
We went during the soft open, so they were working out many kinks. I had tried their sandwiches before at Gia’s and was always impressed. Everything we had here was just a 3/5 - the textures weren’t quite right and the taste wasn’t as good as it could have been, with the exception of the stellar Italian sub. I just don’t think the prices match what you get, especially during the soft open, but they’re too high for the quality. I would love to see this place succeed, I’m looking forward to returning when they’ve opened fully and will update my review then. The staff are incredible! I hope they bring back the fried chicken and the fish sandwich.

It was good...but... - Edit
10 years ago I would have thought the sandwiches were fabulous and wouldn't have scoffed at paying more than what other vegan fair was charging.
Read moreBut I'm being spoiled here in Toronto. The sandwiches were good but I wasn't bowled over. Likely the price held me back. The hefty $14+ gets you just the sandwich. I liked the chicken but it was similar to all the other deep fried chicken now available in town.
Actually, thinking about it more, I realize they are smaller version of the now closed "Too Cool for School" bakery (honestly I could never remember the name of that place!) Smaller and more expensive.
Also, the sandwiches aren't really available all the time? Just a special pop up at that location? Or just every Sunday? It's a little vague...
Pros: Tasty, Oat milks
Cons: Price/no side of anything, When exactly can you get them?

The bakery was called "Through Being Cool"

We have tried a number of different sandwiches but I always come back to the eggplant Parmesan with the fresh basil. Soo good! And the mac & cheese is super!

A-maz-ing food - Edit
Price is a little high due to that fact that it does not come with sides.
Read moreThe fried chicken was crazy good.
The corned beef equally as good.
Friendly staff as I entered to pick up my order.
Website to place an order was simply.
I regret not taking any photos:( —— so I went back the next day lol. This place is so good.
Again staff was top notch.
Thanks for the Espresso
