What a great place to eat, morning, noon or night. Food is always fresh and tasty. The open glass concept to watch the bakers and cooks gives this place high marks. I've been going for years and watching it's staff who are always happy, laughing and creating with great passion. They love what they do and it shows in the quality of baked goods and food they create. Amazing focaccia, bread, sandwiches, deserts, seasonal treats and the list goes on. The serving staff are always friendly and will recommend if your not sure. Everyone is great here from the top management (owners) to the rest of the staff. Can't say enough about this place. I'm a regular so if you see me say hi. Enjoy, you won't regret it....and take something home to share.
Great friendly service,excellent coffee latte,amazing pastries ,wonderful atmosphere,good music. All my frends love this place the location is excellent walking distance to downtown. What a great spot, I also try very tasty sandwiches, fresh squeezed organic juice and thin crust pizza my favourite, I love the feel of the whole place ,I can also watch baker making bread and pastry , ���
Great staff and heavenly breads. I had the veg flat bread pizza and it was out of the world. Tried the cookies and they were the best one can have. Great bread loafs too.
It was so good! Friendly staff. Very crowded tho, but not in a bad way. The sandwiches and pizzabreads were one of the best I had in my life. Bought some cookies to try at home, also very good!
Hiding in a basement beneath the notorious eating and drinking place Wurst, Forno Coutura on King West is loved for deeply fragrant coffees, crispy bread and mouthwatering pastry. The open kitchen creates an illusion of home cooking and there is something exceptionally magical in sipping a rather sharp macchiato while watching a focaccia rolled out right in front of you.
Food and coffee are great and delicious. The breads are so tasty and many options are available.
The design is weird. A very long table and narrow space. It just makes people not comfortable to sit in.
The staffs, in general, are friendly.
Always guaranteed to be delicious, this is a pheNOMenal Italian cafe. Gelato today was chocolate-lemon flavoured and was way better than I expected. Creamy texture and the biscotti was fantastic too!!
the italian name was catchy, that's why we walked in, we weren't planning to eat anything but the moment we walked in we changed our mind as everything smelled/ tasted amazing
Went there way after lunch rush hour to pick up a quick sandwich. The Tramezzini Funghi Cheese sandwich ($8.50) looked good, which they quickly grilled. Also picked up a couple of Frolle Ricotta (Turnover or a Pastry)($3 each)
The sandwich turns out also had Kale (grilled or boiled, not sure which). The Rosemary Bread was absolutely delish. The mushrooms cooked to perfection. The cheese could not figure out which, but the quantity was a bit disappointing according The my daughter who had it. The size of it reasonably big, but not overly big.
The Frolles are not seen in many places. The soft pillowy type Pastry filled gently with Ricotta and Raisins. Perfect all around, perhaps a bit of too much egg wash on top. Wish the Pastry taste had no egg wash on top.
Would come by and try some other sandwiches for sure
I love this bakery! I always recommend it to friends or visitors. The space itself is charming and thoughtfully designed. It's pricier than your average bakery/cafe but you can tell that the quality of what you're eating is superb. The staff is often friendly with minor exceptions.
You don't have to walk far to find something delicious on King West. Forno Cultura is great if you have a hankering for something Italian, whether it be baked treats, or something more savoury like pizza, panini, or other hot dishes. There are specials each day which keeps you on your toes. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable.
Warning that the prices are a bit steep but the quality is definitely there. The boast of using only the finest natural ingredients and organic flours.
I highly recommend as it's definitely worth a visit.
Went there for the chocolate tour. This is the first time I had a brownie with black olive in it! It was awesome! I feel kind of addicted to it!
Great selection of delicious freshly baked goods, friendly staff and reasonably priced.
I was surprised that it only cost $9 for a Foccaccia that was bigger than my whole face! Compared to other places where I have had to pay $12+ for a smaller sized one
So happy we found this place! Delicious pastries, amazing sandwiches and Excellent customer service!
This place deserves more than 5 stars!🔥
Stopping in finally after 7 months of peering thru their windows at various hours even late evenings to being guided by the green/red lights for entry and following the feet markers that led me to paradise.
Lingering thou not a common thing but I had to gaze at the pastry masters behind glass kneading away, slicing and patting the doughy delights.
So much to choose from but ended up with a selection of 6 pastry treats and a baget.
Service was excellent, well taken care of and smiles all around.
Will certainly be back in.
Best sandwiches in town. I crave the Tuscan Chicken one often. They change what they are serving each day. Coffee is great too. Desserts make a great boxed gift. Locals adore this spot.
Was not a long line up when I went today on a Saturday afternoon at around 3pm. There were signs on the window and tape on the floor to tell you where to wait and to be physically distanced from others. There was also an electronically controlled sign that told you to GO or NO, wait. When the sign lit green in colour, you could go into the cafe.
I bought two items that were “gluten free”, (celiacs beware - items were put next to regular items). Service was quick and good and the staff were helpful and kind. I have visited this location 3x including today’s visit. Glad I went back.
I give this place 4 stars as it is pricey, however the quality is high calibre and fresh so it is a good place to have a treat once in a while!!
