This bakery has a casual, down-to-earth vibe. However, the prices felt a bit on the higher side.
We ordered the Coronation Chicken sandwich and the Egg Salad sandwich. The fillings were tasty, but the bread was quite hard and dry, which made the soft fillings spill out as we ate—ending up a bit messy.
Napkins aren’t placed out on a shelf for self-service, and they don’t seem to be provided unless you ask, so I’d recommend requesting a few when you pay.
On the patio, pigeons and sparrows quickly gather around the tables, likely drawn by the crumbs.
If you’re not comfortable around birds, just be aware—they do come quite close.
While this visit was a bit disappointing overall, there were some other items—like tarts and pot pies—that looked really good, so I’d like to come back and try those next time.

A cute small bakery located in Distillery. They serve a variety of pastries at an affordable price! The hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows is worth getting when you want a hot drink on a cold day. Especially compared to the other options in the area during the Christmas market season, this is a great affordable option. The space is a bit limited but still some seating space.

I want a home baked plum pudding , so I searched and found the The Brick Bakery makes plum pudding .I visited the Logan St location and was told they do not make them ,so I purchased a mince tart good, but nothing special .I have been calling their Distillery location to see if they have plum puddings and the phone rings and rings no answer .I called their 3rd location and the phone is not in service .I am now going to have to take the street car to the distillery location , to most likely be told they do not bake them .

Nov2024 Casual, no frills, and rustic bakery at the Historical Distillery complex that serves a wide range of baked goods and dishes.

The sandwiches are huge and the listed menus are varied. Tastes are diverse to appeal to plenty of diners. The brewed coffee is typical drip type strong and cloudy.

Service is counter takeaway style. Downside is that you need request for napkins despite them having a diy sermvice takeaway counter. No driniking water as well.

Dining nooks are limited to small stalls and counters.

Ideal for takeaways and very quick bites.

Brick Street Bakery is located in the Distillery District of Toronto. There are a number of sandwiches to choose from. It was quite difficult to explain what we wanted to the server as she struggled to understand us in English. We asked for a variation on what was advertised which she seemed to accept but it later turned out that the sandwiches were pre-prepared so it was not possible to alter the ingredients. What we received was a pre-wrapped sandwich on bread that felt somewhat dry, suggesting that the sandwiches were not that fresh. However, it was very pleasant eating at one of their outside tables in the sunshine.

I was slightly disappointed. I love Portuguese egg tarts- these were acceptable- but missing something- I love when there is a hint of almond flavor- which these did not have. The cheesecake tart also disappointed me- really didn’t have much flavor at all.

The iced latte was quite good. Just wish it had less ice and more latte.

We were in the Distillery District and walking around when my wife needed something to eat but did not want the usual fare. We walked into the Brick Street Bakery and really liked their selection of food and coffee options. The server/operator was friendly and guided us through our options.
Service was quick, friendly, and the food was delicious.
A return visit is definitely in the future!

We stumbled upon this little gem while wandering through the Distillery District this Sunday morning looking for a place to sit and grab some breakfast. A lot of places did not seem to be open despite it being after 10am. Entered and were immediately greeted and after a short look around proceeded to order two breakfast sandwiches and a couple hot beverages. Service was super friendly and quick and the breakfast sandwich was over the top! FRESH, Tasty and a generous portion! Served on delicious whole wheat bread this was really a great food experience! The bakery has a cool vintage vibe and feels like a local bistro should. They do have a good selection of take out which we will definitely try at a later visit. There are stools and a small area on each side to enjoy your food or drink on site which we took advantage of. Thanks Brick St. ! Excellent Espresso too! ☕️

Like some of the other reviews say, the sandwiches leave a lot to be desired. For a dessert and coffee it’s fine. We grabbed some to go while walking around the area, reasonable pricing compared to elsewhere.

Stopped here for lunch. The sandwiches were OK, but all kind of messy. It was very busy, and seating is tight.
