Joanna SableNovember 27, 2015Perfect Barese style wood oven breads. Do not expect the ordinary here. The pastries are made from time honoured recipes and those breads. A must is the Red Wine Dark Chocolate Loaf.
- Adam McNamaraMarch 29, 2017Forno Cultura is wonderful. Stop in early with your notebook or book and enjoy a coffee and cookie. Or, drop by later for a sandwich at lunch. Unfortunately, Forno doesn't encourage people to stay.
Karl BergerSeptember 29, 2017This is a world-class bakery. Excellent customer service. Wonderful pastries. Fantastic coffee. Having a "plank" with espresso was a perfect way to compliment a meal we had on King Street West.
Authentic Italian bakery. Get the polenta cake, it's so good. The chocolate brownie with black olives seems like a weird combination but it's incredible!- KattySeptember 3, 2019Traditional italian bakery, very upscale, great natural juices; I absolutely adore the mozzarella & tomato croissant & potatoes croquettes 😍
- Efrén Fernández AbeledoNovember 7, 2015Sandwiches are delicious. The whole setup is very authentic, and all the products look great
Alina DDecember 16, 2016Everything I got tasted really good but they can do better as to customer service! Smile and treat each customer equally! They need to fix their face more and get some training!- Kittie ChanApril 21, 2015Some of the best selection of Italian pastries... Very authentic. Biscottis are amazing, the chocolate hazelnut cookie is to die for!
Jeffrey SilverJuly 22, 2016Truly the very best Italian Biscotti and Cakes outside of Italy. Close your eyes and your walking around Milano.
KIAN FITJanuary 19, 2016Bambolone and Americano is my favorite alongside all other great things they have
Azhar BayFebruary 21, 2020Awesome delicious Italian cookies, high in calories but yummy, especially the almond one😍
Annuh StrangeJuly 2, 2013Staff are knowledgeable about their products. And the barista made me a super kickass soy cappuccino. Perfect froth. Coming back for sure.- Jamie SarnerJuly 29, 2015This place smells like heaven. Delicious panini, desserts & cappucino + home made ingredients to buy. Read more
Weekend-only offerings, like the apricot mascarpone filled old-school donut, make this place a destination
Raph HAugust 17, 2016Pilgrimage place for Italian pastries, bread (try the cocoa one) and all the rest. Paradiso!
These people know their shit when it comes to breads and pasteries. Bring an assortment of their pasteries if you want to impress your friends at a dinner party.
Alexander S.May 6, 2017Tried their sandwich, its delicious! Also they gave me a loaf of bread for free, haha:) nice place!
Pat NgNovember 3, 2013Impressed at the staff's knowledge & ability to describe their products. If you're looking for a specific taste - just ask!
Fantastic sweets and savories and a great espresso to go with it. Limited seating.
Peter CresswellJuly 2, 2022There’s really no way to go wrong here. Incredibly good quality on all products.
Most items here contain nuts. Be sure to ask. Great staff. Tons of gluten free options.
leilah vayidJuly 24, 2014Chocolate olive oil cake. Rich cocoa flavour with tender saltiness, it totally works.
Sian SimpsonJune 16, 2016Food all looks amazing. Not as many gluten free options as I thought, I counted 3. Server Staff are a bit rude.
Chefs FeedAugust 5, 2014Rob Gentile, chef of Buca Osteria & Enoteca, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Amaretti biscotti. Read more
Andrés Ryu 🎨April 22, 2014Pastries are overpriced. Taste wise, nothing to write home about, unlike the testimonials given below.
