Because their pies are awesome (especially their shepherds pie)!! When their meat pies are freshly baked, you can smell it everywhere in the Distillery District. Line ups pile up, everyone eager to get a slice!! I use to work near there & during lunch, my co- worker and I would go and get variety of pies to share for lunch they were that good !!

The second you walk in you're inundated with the smell of freshly baked breads and sweets. So many different many varieties to choose from. Of note: Brick Street Club and the Lamb Kafta.

all the bread is homebaked on the premises using organic ingredients. i'm not sure if all the pastries use organic ingredients as well, but the bread is outstanding. arguably the best whole-grain baguette in town, care of the bakery's resident French baker Mike. It's on the shopping list of many Toronto restos.

because from the organic bread to the roasted meats to the curry mayonnaise, everything is made on site and made-to-order. The Boxing Day sandwich (turkey, stuffing and cranberries) is to die for.
