COBS Bread Bakery The Annex

They let people who order online cut the line.

Love the bread, will go back.

The sour dough was good, but I like Nord Lyon's better. No one here makes any fresh bread without wheat.

always good and fresh

Not in the habit of writing bad reviews, but the pastries I bought today tasted off. There was a 'soapy' taste in them, not sure how to explain it. It's my first time going there and I expected the blueberry custard pastry and the chocolate 'pain au chocolat/ chocolate pastry' to have a buttery taste to the dough but instead there was a soapy aftertaste which could possibly mean a high level of baking soda. Won't be going again because of the taste. of the dough.

super generous and kind service!! the cream puff was delicious. my friends had the scones and also said how good they were!

For a university project, my group members and I got to interview the owner, Nathan Zou, about his experience as a franchise owner for COBS Bread. Nathan was kind, humble, and generous with his time, consistent with his involvement in the local community. It was a great experience!

I bought a croissant which got my mind off the rainy weather and some mini cinnamon buns which made me the man of the hour when I got back to my study group. If you're ever near Spadina and Bloor, treat yourself (or your friends)! Thank you Nathan and thank you COBS Bread!

I’m disappointed that the quality of the products in this location varies depending on which day you go. I usually go on Saturdays and have never had a complaint. I went on a Thursday and the ham & cheese croissant had a tiny piece of ham in the middle and a trace amount of cheese and the triple chocolate scone had ZERO chocolate chips in it and was extremely dry and not chocolatey at all. I guess I’ll stick to going on Saturdays to the Annex location.
In general, I find this issue at other Cobs locations as well, quality is consistently inconsistent and bakers are often cheaping out and cutting corners making an inferior product that I regret paying good money for. When it’s good it’s great. When it’s not, I hesitate to remain a loyal customer.
Customer service at all locations I’ve visited has been consistently good.

Great bread and buns. I only wish that more of the breads are available when they open in the morning

The cinnamon bun is tasty, but the overall store doesn’t have much vegan options.

Quality fresh bread and sweetbreads with a nice ambiance to choose peacefully what you may be interested in.

Love love love this place. If you like bread then you need to go here. The mini sourdough loaves are the best.

They have something new to try as "samples" also :)

When I stop by after work there's still a few good choices left.
