Fresh Bread, Now for Condo Dwellers

Finally! For those too lazy to descend the elevator and seek out a local bakery comes Freshbread.ca, the one stop source for light rye, multigrain, cheese bagels, croissants, onion buns and baguettes.

Yep. Freshbread.ca, "created to allow condominium owners all the benefits of an old-world European-style bakery", delivers fresh bread directly to your door - or front desk in some condo buildings depending on whether the security lets them infiltrate the hallways.

All bread is baked fresh daily by the Micalense Home Bakery, a local wholesale bakery that's been supplying Toronto with fresh baked products since the 1960's. While I haven't tried the service myself (I don't live in a condo and live right across the street from a bakery), I can imagine wanting to on certain occasions like a fingers-falling off it's so cold day such as today.

Wait..wha? They deliver...a pastry to your door every day?

They also look like the things that Rabba sells! I'm so confused.

This is lame. I have been living at Yonge/Bloor for 17 years and have been after the management office for the retail concourse to put in a store that sells fresh bread and baked products. With all the condos that have gone up in the neighborhood there is a great market. This is something we buy every day. The only place nearby that sells bread is Rabba.

What do they give us? More stores that sell women's clothes and sunglasses ???? Whoever opens a store that sells bread will surely make a killing.

This new online service sounds fine but probably expensive, something you wouldn't do every day.

Just my 2 cents.
