Brick Street Bakery

There is a bakery in the distillery district that I've walked past many times and that on a nice summer day is packed with people trying to place their orders.  I had always assumed that it was just baked goods because whenever I poked my head in and could see the display case I only saw desserts and breads.  I never spotted any other menu.  Turns out the menu is posted on a chalkboard on the side wall on the right. 

The prices for the sandwiches seemed a little high given they don't come with anything, but the day I finally decided to try one I discovered the price posted included the tax.  I also discovered the sandwiches were quite big. 

I ordered the coronation chicken sandwich.  It is chicken mixed with a curried mayo, apricot pieces, almond pieces and topped with granny smith apple slices and lettuce.  Since they are a bakery, I am assuming they baked the bread themselves.  It was very good and very fresh.  The sandwich was very big for me.  I only at half of it while relaxing at one of their tables outside.  I wrapped the other half up in the wax paper the sandwich had come in and took it home.  I don't know if you can order a half sandwich but if it's possible I'll be doing that next time.

One thing to note.  There was a sign by the cash register that said "Cash Only" and it seemed to be stuck on top of another sign that said no credit cards.  So if you are going to try it out, arrive with cash.

Just looking at the Brick Street Bakery website I notice they have a location in FCP (First Canadian Place) that  I've also walked past many times.  Might have to go there for a work lunch sometime soon.
