Sat Jul 12 14:05:02 -0700 2008 203864 nineinchnails 1 3863076 I like the bread at St. John's Bakery. They have different breads - so far I've tried a sourdough type bread called Angeligus that I can taste the sourdough base in. I have also had their multigrain seed bread, which is very good. They had nice looking olive breads and a raisin walnut today, but I had limited funds on me because I stopped there during my run. Next I want to try the Fife bread. They have a location on Broadview, north of Queen on the east side. I can also buy their breads at Fresh From the Farm on Donlands.

Sat Jul 12 17:05:41 -0700 2008 3862908 14906 Food Tourist 1 3863289 Jamie Kennedy's Gilead Cafe (in Corktown) has an absolutely amazing bread made with Red Fife flour. Also, (when they have it) Brick Street Bakery in the distillery has an excellent one as well. Have to also agree with the St. John's Bakery suggestion, their bread is quite good as well. Sat Jul 12 17:18:16 -0700 2008 3862908 11627 Otonabee 2 3865866 i'm not a sourdough pro, but i second jamie kennedy's red fife sourdough. my friend and i finished a loaf down at the beach today and it was great just like that Sun Jul 13 20:11:39 -0700 2008 3863289 156775 halugii 1 3863827 Excellent sourdoughs at Brick Street (on Logan and at the Distillery) and at St John's (freshest on Broadview north of Queen). Nothing shabby about Ace or Fred's breads either, mass distribution or not. Silverstein's rye, fresh from the bakery and unbagged, shouldn't disappoint. I'd pass on Cob's. Sat Jul 12 22:25:11 -0700 2008 3862908 23411 embee 1 3863871 Another vote for the sourdough at St. John's. A relatively wide selection of sourdoughs, too. I'm not a big fan of Brick Street sourdoughs (good but not excellent). I find their breads a bit dry compared to St. John's. I bought Ace Bakery sourdough and really didn't like it -- far too heavy. Sat Jul 12 23:01:29 -0700 2008 3862908 54667 merlot143 2 4056540 Another vote for St. John's here too. Their olive cilantro bread won me over immediately! Tue Sep 23 18:12:49 -0700 2008 3863871 195015 thora 1 3864037 No sourdough but superb rye breads at the Breadhouse in Pickering. Easily worth a special trip off 401 when going through the town. http://www.chow.com/uploads/8/6/3/92368_img_0201-3.20080710170304.jpg (photo with Dunn's smoked meat from Costco) Sun Jul 13 04:57:52 -0700 2008 3862908 56131 jayt90 1 3864387 If you can get over to King West, try Thuet.. Both the restaurant and Atelier Thuet sell great sourdough in multiple flavours. http://www.thuet.ca/home.asp?loc=home Sun Jul 13 08:53:33 -0700 2008 3862908 13866 tasoid 1 3866658 Thuet, Thuet, Thuet. Phenomenal bread - and I'm not a fan of his restaurant. Mon Jul 14 07:33:27 -0700 2008 3862908 11134 estufarian 1 4055818 How about some recos in the West end? Nothing fancy, no different flavours, just plain old fashioned sourdough bread. If anyone has had it in Seattle, that's the type I'm referring to. Tue Sep 23 13:33:22 -0700 2008 3862908 53671 Davedigger 1 4057360 I love Stonemill Bakery sourdough, available at SLM. The San Francisco Sourdough is great and there are usually a couple other varieties. German bakers know how to do sourdough right.

Thanks! Wed Sep 24 08:42:00 -0700 2008 4057360 53671 Davedigger 3 4057774 There are these retail locations and an outlet, far far north. http://www.stonemillbakehouse.com/English/070~where_to_buy/020~retail_locations/ But I would totally recommend SLM to get the fresh fresh product. Sorry about your butt. : ( Wed Sep 24 08:56:17 -0700 2008 4057726 12840 Mila 4 4057797 Well then! I'll give it a try a Sobey's first. Thanks for the condolances. LOL!!
