  Best donuts in the city! This place is like Willy Wonka's factory for adults. Theres a deli where you can get all kinds of meats, cheeses and everything in between. Also a lunch counter that serves pizza, sandwiches and other delectable items. There's a massive bakery with fresh bread, bagels, cakes, pastries and more. A coffee counter that serves more items than a Starbucks would. Finally in the back is their sweets bakery with cakes, pastries, donuts, and an array of delicious desserts. I've never had a bad experience here. Shout out to Mina in the bakery for being a fantastic manager and securing my business for years to come. See you next time, Sanremo!

  First time visiting Sanremo - it can best described as organized chaos. I visited Sunday at lunch hour. The place was packed. As someone who has never visited Sanremo before I didn’t know the process so I got into line where the entrance door was. I learnt listening in from others that the line I was in was only for cold sandwiches. So I moved out of line and more into the shop. There was no line for hot sandwiches so I got a meatball sandwich, chicken parmesan sandwich and a mac and cheese. The lady prepared everything quickly and handed me the food and a paper with what I ordered. Then I was paraded to the cash register/coffee bar ordering area. I paid and gave my name which they told me to go outside and get the drink at the drink window. Since I had some time I went into the dessert line to get a few things. People were everywhere but everything went pretty smoothly and quickly. The prices were very affordable. I got the coffee crema (which everyone had sitting outside). It was very delicious. The meatball sub was basic (no cheese) - just bun, sauce and meatballs. It was alright. The chicken parm was better because it had cheese. The mac and cheese was decent - nothing amazing but still satisfying. The coffee was my favourite part by far. I’d go back to get another plus try different food items. There’s lots to choose from.

  Worth the drive. I thought $7.49 for the pistachio crema was overpriced considering the regular felt too small buuuut it's decadent. Worth the trip and worth the price. Pastries are always a hit. I think I preordered doughnuts a few years back. I noticed they were almost sold out by the time I arrived today around 1-2pm. I've yet to try their savory menu. I plan to pick up some deli slices and sandwiches next time.. or food at the hot bar. Great bakery. I recommend giving it a try.

  VERY busy on a Sunday afternoon. Went to pick up some Zeppole's as a treat. Unfortunately they ran out of some flavors. This was our fault for going late. Keep this in mind. It's best to visit in the a.m. for more choices. We also picked up a veal sandwich. It was quite large and very good. Price was reasonable in comparison. The pic attached was half the sandwich. Also if you wish to buy fresh bread, go early. They didn't have much left when we were there.

  Visited SanRemo Bakery while in Toronto. The atmosphere was vibrant and buzzing, with a true neighborhood vibe that’s been alive and well since 1969. The service was efficient and friendly, keeping things moving despite the constant crowds. Tried items from the hot table and deli counter — classic Italian comfort food that’s always a guaranteed treat, made with authentic flavors and care. Yes, the massive viral donuts are fun, but the real magic is the depth and consistency of the food. Overall, a great spot for locals and absolutely worth many return visits — with no end in sight.
