United Bakers Dairy

Rating: 1.8/5 (16 votes)

Posted by Staff / Reviewed on March 7, 2010

United Bakers DairyThe United Bakers Dairy was once a pillar of Jewish Spadina but it moved uptown years ago with its clientele, into this big, buzzing space where you can get a thick, sweet, rich cabbage borscht among the daily specials. Soup like this should be a right, not a choice.

I am not Jewish but before any Jewish High Holiday I make a point of going to "United" for my Pea Soup Fix. I can't stand the thought of this soup not being available even for a short time. Simply the best Pea Soup ever!

unreal pea soup. I just went for takeout and spent twice as much on gas as I did on soup - completely worth it.

I can't believe this place is still around. The food is lousy at best and the place is so outdated it's not funny. I'd say only someone who hasn't had real deli food would consider this place good. It sucks.

"Each to his own taste".
No use arguing with someone whose opinions differ from my own. I could probably name a restaurant that I hate and it might be your favourite. I've never considered United a "deli" just an old style restaurant filled with the most unusual characters in town. Sometimes the floorshow alone is worth the price of the free admission. If I wanted a "deli" I would probably go to Pancer's. I have sat down to a meal at United once but I do make regular use of the take-out counter as do many others. At busy times the take-out line goes out of the front door. Terrific soups and the best traditional cherry cheesecake!
