Le Gourmand Bakery is thanking the community that has been “extremely welcoming’ to them as they expand to better serve residents with a second location in New Toronto.
“Many described how they wished us success and that they were happy we were adding to the quality retail/bakery options in the area,” says Davis Snider, Le Gourmand’s Director of Operations. “They also liked the fact that we have a takeout window during these socially distanced times.”
Snider says their success come down ‘to our amazing product and service,’ which is at the forefront of Le Gourmand Bakery Etobicoke, at 2897 Lake Shore Blvd. W.
‘We make our baked goods with the finest ingredients,” he says. “Always made by hand, we strive to maintain a focus on the details when welcoming and serving our guests in the storefront.”
The new location, Le Gourmand Bakery Humber, at 3180 Lake Shore Blvd. W., across from Humber College, is called a “Pocket Bakery & Café,” with a reduced menu that includes their famous cookies, coffee, croissants, and sandwiches.
The bakery is planning more locations in the future and will be taking their renowned cookies province-wide by setting up delivery with the Canada Post.
If you are looking for some heat in your life. Then you want to visit The Cuban Thing food truck that will be spicing up things at Square One, in Mississauga, on February 12.
Main chef Chuchi says their frita burger is a top seller, along with the Cuban sandwich and their flan.
“We hope to be cooking non-stop when April comes,” he writes. “I truly want to create buzz in Etobicoke with my cooking.”
He plans to be based in the Kipling Queensway Mall area with his appearances available on social media.
“It’s about serving and sharing for us. Food trucks have turned out to be essential now with COVID-19.”

I tried the beef burger and it was nice and juicy. It wasn’t bad and I will return.
