This buzzing Toronto spot serves up heavenly pastries like their must-try pistachio croissant, alongside friendly service and cozy seating, making it a breakfast haven.
"Open for: Breakfast and lunchPrice range: $$Philip Haddad’s croissants are legendary; they’re also incredibly messy, though you should wear the buttery debris on your face as a badge of honor. The viral, twice-baked Sicilian pistachio croissant naturally steals the spotlight with creamy frangipane oozing from its butter-busting pores, but don’t miss the opportunity to explore the rest of the fine-tuned creations. Kitchen manager Colin Butcher and chef de cuisine Joe Siu offer weekly savory Saturday specials, such as a mortadella breakfast sandwich with creamy bechamel, nutmeg dijon, pepper rings, meaty Italian sausage, and a fried egg. While you’re there, pick up a loaf or two of the sourdough, which utilizes dough fermented for 24 hours to create a compact, chewy crumb and a rustic, crusty exterior.Know before you go: The best way to find out about daily specials, pastry drops, and preorder availability is to follow the bakery on Instagram." - Tiffany Leigh
"With their crispy-crackle crust and melting-moment centers, Philip Haddad’s croissants are legendary. They’re also incredibly messy, though you should wear the buttery debris on your fingers and mouth as a badge of honor. Beyond the classic, there’s also an emerald-studded, twice-baked Sicilian pistachio croissant, which oozes a creamy frangipane from its butter-busting pores. While you’re there, pick up a loaf or two of the sourdough, which is fermented for 24 hours, offering a compact, chewy crumb and a rustic crusty exterior. The cafe also offers breakfast, lunch, and early dinner options. The tahini halloumi toast is a life-affirming (if thematically messy) selection: Fragrant, bitter tahini is slathered on thick-cut sourdough, topped with salt-kissed grilled halloumi, and finished with maple syrup and sesame." - Tiffany Leigh
