Wow what a great place, we had the Bagel with lox and cream cheese which was awesome. Picked up an Eccles cake to go which was great. Will definitely be back as the service and food were awesome.
This is a shop located on Oak Street, near 16th Avenue, that serves an enormous variety of cakes, pastries, pies, sandwiches, and other foods. They have such a good selection that it was quite difficult to take my pick. In the end, after quite a bit of hemming and hawing, I went with a Chicken Pot Pie, Mango Raspberry Cheesecake, Sticky Toffee Slice, Chocolate Decadence Cake and a Red Velvet Cake, as well as an Almond Croissant for my mom. In general, I thought the food was not the greatest in terms of taste/quality but still more than enjoyable. The prices were quite reasonable. This is a spot that’s worth a visit.Chicken Pot Pie ($6.75):3.5/5The crust was not particularly flaky, but still relatively tender, with a nice bit of savoury flavour. The interior is filled with chunks of chicken, potatoes, peas and carrots. There was quite a generous amount of meat, which albeit a bit dry, was relatively tender, well-seasoned and savoury.Mango Raspberry Cheesecake ($5.69):4/5The cheesecake was thick and creamy, albeit a bit gummy in some parts. It had a nice fragrance of mango and coconut that was not overly artificial. It was sweet; I would have liked there to be a bit more tanginess.Sticky Toffee Slice ($4.99):4/5The toffee was very thick and gooey, with a great caramelized flavour. The cake itself was a tad dense, but still moist. The cake is on the sweeter side, so you do need to have a good sweet tooth to enjoy it.Chocolate Decadence Cake ($5.49):3/5The frosting had a nice bittersweet flavour; I did find the chocolate to be a bit waxy and stale, however. The cake was a bit on the dry side/hard side, though not overly so. This was enjoyable, though nowhere nearly as good as the version from Trafiq.Red Velvet Cake ($5.49):3.5/5The cream cheese frosting was thick, creamy and sweet, with a nice bit of tang. As was with the chocolate decadence, the cake was a bit on the dry side (and I personally also found it to be a bit too bright red for my liking).Almond Croissant ($4.09):N/ASummaryFood: 3.5/5Price: 4/5Service: N/AOverall: 3.5/5Recommendations: Mango Raspberry Cheesecake, Sticky Toffee Slice
Hot turkey sandwich was fabulous. Generous portion. Roast turkey and stuffing is authentic and delist. Cranberry sauce a little tart if you like it that way. Friendly service.
Another deli gone over to the quick-buck-scheme dark side. By charging higher and higher prices for lower and lower quality (we paid over $4.50 for croissants that would have been laughed out of Montral even as day olds), Max’s Bakery & Deli is fully engaged in a culinary race for the bottom. Even for a light snack, Max’s offers yet another reason to dine at home.
Too many menu items and confusing ordering process. The staff are unorganized and there are way too many menu items – makes you wonder if there is high enough turnover to faciliate freshness. The place needs to simplify their ordering process and cut their menu items literally in half. The place has potential however it needs quite a bit of TLC!
Croissants and cakes!. I used to wake up early so I could stop by at Max’s on the way to work…to order a specialty sandwich for lunch. Even if the wait wasn’t too long, because it was made fresh and to order, I always had to wait around a few minutes for the staff to slice the bread and pile on the toppings. I thought it was worth the wait though. The amazing sandwiches are so good! Now, I just stop by for pastries and cakes. I like the chocolate croissants and the regular croissants. They’re pretty decent and huge. I also like to order the individual-sized cakes because our family likes variety! The quality of the ingredients is solid and I haven’t been disappointed by any of the baked goods. I particularly like the cheesecakes and any of the tarts. The cakes are rich and decadent…not the airy affair you get at the local Asian bakeries. cakeonthebrain.blogspot.com
While I have found the food to be generally good, and sometimes delightful (roasted vegetable & feta sandwich on focaccia), the service and long waits are annoying. I love the drink selection and the baked treats, but I won’t venture inside the store if there are people lined up.
