The joint does get busy during the day & most often the food items get sold out towards the afternoon. The parking spaces are a bit cluttered due to the ongoing construction works in & around at the time of my visit. The items are pricey for the quantity they offer when compared to another chain, but I guess that's the way it is. It is well kept & well lit and the curation indeed shouts out -- " alternative Italian baking space ". In the beverages, the solo coffee comes with a single espresso shot. The juice are bottled ones and mixed juice were the only available ones when I visited. I ordered a Tuscan Chicken Sandwich (contains arugula, roasted chicken, aioli, red grapes, provolone & sesame filocino bread) & a cup of Cappuccino with the same. The Filoncini from Forno Cultura are featured with a really tough crust and a softer inside (as I am told). Although the sandwich seemed to be really cold & hard for me. I felt a lot of sarcasm & disdain from the staffs / barista / servers at the venue unfortunately. New to an alternative Italian café joint such as the Forno Cultura & since most of my first-hand preferences from the menu were unavailable, I happened to be in need of suggestions on the available ones from the staff, who apparently passively mocked at my genuine inquiries. The MoCA has always been a location in my bucket list to explore in Toronto. New to the country, wading through the cultural shock, disdain & mockery of hailing from the South Asia with a brown skin or just adding to the already swarming population of the Asians in this first world country has never been easy. I am sure that a lot of it has to do with folks from my country or the neighbouring nations almost wrecking the moral code or exploiting the liberal strings in the societal fabric of this country, but yes, not all of us are a**ho*** or Gordon Ramsay. Aaaaargh, some scattered thoughts for discussion, some other day. In toto, except for the cold behaviour from the staff and 'concerete' Filoncini, I believe Forno Cultura definitely adds to the ambience of the MoCA. I sincerely wish the staff of Forno Culture were a bit more accommodating / patient to the ignorance of the (non-Italian) customers who visit places like MoCA which are places of solace for artsists or atleast some of them. Thank you for patiently reading through this.

2022.02.11 The visit to the new location of Forno Culturea ... the location at MOCA. The sandwiches are extremely good 👍. My hot Americano was up to my perfection. The dessert were tasty. The place simply decorated with a cool simple touch. Great job. The lady helping us was the barrista, the cashier, and helping us with food/dessert. It was 4pm. A must re-visit.

Beautiful open space coffee shop in MOCA with high quality tea and delicious bakery. They're worth the price; the cakes are soft, moist, fresh, interesting, and not too sweet, while tea drinks are subtle and aromatic. Decoration is bright and modern.

This is the most stunning space. Massive light filled windows over looking natural gardens. Inside Forno Cultura is as delicious as each of their locations but here they are serving the most wonderful antipasti, creative wines and perfect desserts. Do not miss this spot.

Everything here looks delicious, from bread to cookies, and it tastes how it looks. Go to Contemporary Art gallery location for a light and airy atmosphere. Or King&Richmond for more cellar and bakery feel.

The vegetarian sandwiches are so good; made on some Crunchy and warm foccacia type bread . They’re just warm enough to make the bread hot but not the toppings soggy. Delicious flavours! Great pick me up before exploring the museum.

Cozy lovely little café inside MOCA, related to the Forno Cultura on King West. They have one of the best BLTs, and a smaller (but good enough!) array of cookies, breads, pastries to choose from which will go with any hot or cold drink. They have a good beverage menu and some alcohol. The small space is beautifully designed, relaxing yet functional. They sell some gift items like pottery, bottled sauces, olive oil and a lot more. It’s a delight to grab a bite in this space and listen to their relaxing music.

I recently enjoyed partaking in their ‘Friends & Family Breadlab’, where Forno MOCA were sharing some new dish ideas with invited guests. I tried aquasala, tomatoes with torn bread, which I understand to be a classic Italian comfort food. It was a cold dish (which honestly surprised me 😬), however, the mixture of the tender red peppers, tomatoes and sauce were a perfect balance of the 3 fundamental taste senses sour, bitter and salty. There were a few pieces of rather dense bread in the mix, which slightly disturbed this experience. And at the risk of criticizing the concept of this traditional dish, I would have preferred that it was served with the bread pieces having been toasted, just before serving. I also tried a smoked trout dish with sliced fennel. The smoked trout was amongst the very best that I’ve tasted to date, with a beautiful balance between the natural flavour of the Trout and the smoking effect. The fennel provided a refreshing balance to this intensity. These dishes were nicely matched by a craft beer that I have never enjoyed before (Burdock Pale Classic). I would like to commend Michael whom I met at this event, who is responsible for this brand’s distribution. He was coincidentally seated adjacent to me. Lastly, I would like to thank Jessica for her outstanding service during my experience at this event! However, I have grown use to this level of service, as I am a regular at their King street store.

Located on the ground floor of the Museum of Contemporary Art. you don't need to pay entry to the museum to get access to this lovely and bright cafe.

Delicious drinks and food before or after visiting MOCA. The person who made the coffee last time I went, made such a delicious one, wow!!! They have a lemon loaf slice as a vegan option, very nice. If they haven’t sold our they also have bread and focaccia as vegan options

Loved the vibe there & I tried the funghi sandwich which was sooooo good!! I was expecting the biscottis to be better but they are ok!

Great coffee and selection of snacks/pantry goods ! Right inside the MOCA , with a very aesthetic front. The forno cultura staff were very friendly. Will be back for sure!

-High quality pastries and coffee -A very good taste in picking the music playlists - Modern and fresh vibes - Highly recommended for Sunday’s morning

Very tasty foods. They have high quality bread. It looks so good and tastes so good too

I visited here Sunday, November 20th early afternoon with a friend and the two staff were cold & treated me differently compared to the other customers. Really love Forna & it’s products but experiences like this make it hard to enjoy simple outings. Hope all customers can be treated with respect & kindness.

I didn’t even eat here. Google keeps asking me to leave a review so why not. I can say that the staff were pretty nice, even though there was like one person when we went. I was about to order something like a pizza or a panini but unfortunately they did not have any savoury items remaining. This review is solely based on a small conversation.

love this space in MOCA💕 Tasty bakery and wine. Friendly staff and beautiful environment!

High design Italian food spot. Great sandwiches. Awesome place for gifts or to put together a nice antipasti board for a get together

Pastries were fresh and tasted fine. The only hiccup was we found one super long hair wrapped under the base of their almond paste pastry. We called the store and let them know but no one returned call. If they could pay more attention to food hygiene, we will return.

Great space and good variety of options for pastries and coffee. Friendly staff!

The coffee, the bread, the treats, and all the fun booze-y options make this a very special spot. The staff there are incredible friendly and fun and make our day when we stopped for a drink outside on the benches in the sun. Highly recommended for a safe, outdoor friend meetup or date :)

Gorgeous interior as usual. I love visiting Forno for their biscotti and treats. I always get an iced americano. There's some benches outside to sit.

I've been to this location twice and both times the staff have pleasantly surprised me with their extra extra extra amazing customer service! They are just so friendly and welcoming and so knowlwdgable about their products! Honestly I haven't felt this kind of customer service anywhere in a long time or ever? Their foccacia is out of this world and made fresh daily I think. Their cedar jelly and goat cheese pair together so well and are so delicious (the staffs suggestion!). They also have a cute outside space where you can enjoy your goodies. I've definitely become a usual customer now and will be back often!

Great coffee, huge selection of snacks, treats, sandwiches and a whole range of baked and artisan goods! The cafe gets loads of light so it's really relaxing sitting with friends, and the staff are super friendly too!
