    High end bakery(forno) with a few locations across the city. The bakery items were all unique and were fresh on a Sunday morning. I got the BLT sandwich which was delicious and very fat rich which is great for hangovers. They also have some pastries that are special for the weekend like the Rum pastry I had which was very moist and rummy. -2 stars for the outrageous prices which are high even for Toronto standards.

    Amaretti😐(love the texture, soft and chewy. But dislike the almond flavour Run baba😐(don’t quite the cream in the centre. Rum flavour is too much. But the brioche is amazing, evenly soaked, moist and soft Olive oil cake 🙆🏻‍♀️(the olive is eww, but the cake itself is pretty good. On the bitter side, hint of saltiness is delighting. Good texture, crispy on the outside Cannoli🙅🏻‍♀️(the shell is not biscuit but pastry puff Torts ricotta 😐(just fine Bread pudding 😐(the streusel on the top are fantastic but the pudding itself is meh Underwhelming overall I hate how they pack the food with paper —————— Focaccia 😐

    Thanks Team Forno. I came in for some sandwiches for my wife but I just missed the last batch for the day......always fresh :) They were so kind to offer me some cookies on the house. She loved it. I had my best summer ice cream here. Disappointed it's only a summer offering. When in downtown Toronto, I always look forward to stopping by to get that smell and taste of fresh Italian pastries.

    A lovely bakery in a half basement! Came to try their sandwiches and some sweets. We ended up trying three sandwiches, and they were all delicious! The ingredients were fresh and the bread was unique, flavourful with a great crust. Also tried their rum baba and it was sweet, melt-in-your-mouth, creamy, moist, citrus-y, very good!!! They also sell whole breads. Staff are friendly. Great bakery items.

    You get what you pay for - and the baked goods are sure expensive! Make sure to get the sfogliatelle - a delightfully crispy, cream filled pastry shaped like a lobster tail. Unlike a real lobster tail, you won't be stared at when crunching away at the shell. Great selection of brioche, focaccia, and a mix of cookies and bits and bobs with traditional and modern flavours. Staff are friendly and there's a glass panel looking into the bakery where you can watch the staff prepare various gluttonous, glutenous delights with finesse - like a peep show for bread lovers. Try anything and everything - it's all sublime at Forno Cultura.

    Visiting an exquisite Italian patisserie at 10:00 in the morning, we found our options somewhat limited. Despite this, the treats were delicious, the service attentive, but unfortunately, the seating arrangements were quite uncomfortable

    Big fan of this bakery. The selection, the customer service and the overall vibe is wonderful. They has some of my favourite pastries in the city and the pizza is a must try!

    Loved every single bite of my lunch. This place is so lowkey and doesn’t feel like it belongs on king west. We got sandwiches for lunch which were almost too much food for us but the bread was amazzzzzzzzing. It was almost $50 for 2 coffee, sandwiches and a pastry which is a tad pricy but the quality is worth the price.

    Amazing sandwiches, Delicious cappuccino and latte, unique food stuffs to take home. Watching bakers make the sandwiches is poetry in motion!
