Cobs bread is a menace to society! They call to me like a siren song to a sailor long lost at sea, you resist as much as you can until you're lured in by promises of baked wonderfulness. Then, they have the audacity to provide such excellent food, the dopamine triggers instantly. Maybe you fear judgement, as you buy not one, but 2 Chocolate croissants. Maybe it's for you and your spouse on a lazy sunday morning, or maybe its for you alone on the couch under a blanket of wool and crumbs. Illusions of control fade as to your tally, you add a loaf of their freshest White Vienna bread, and oh, are those hot cross buns catching your eye? Social pressures can do wonders to keep baser instincts in check, but the staff provide a reassurance, this is a safe place, you can give in, and they'll guide you along your way to a carb coma. Worse, the don't include any sort of warnings making it very easy to end up going back 2 or 3 times in a week!
Whether it be Linny, whom I've heard rumour makes all of the bread single-handedly yet I cannot verify, enthusiastically pointing you to the freshest loaf, or Mr. Moustache who at the drop of a hat has the perfect pairing for whatever your plans entail. Making grilled cheese? You want the garlic cheese bread, a hearty soup? Crusty Italian, thick sliced. All the staff I've dealt with (of which I've met many given my psychological dependence) have been exceptional so even though I didn't shout them out directly, they are still rockstars. Deborah is also fantastic and a reliable source
We live in dark times, a new existential threat rising with every season, institutions failing, leaders fumbling, and the world we once knew, slowly fading into distant memory, but you know what doesn't change? Flour, water, eggs, sugar. A warm hug in a cold, harsh world.
Dessert, meal, appetizer, snack, Cobs has it all. So go, it will enrich your life, and nourish your soul, but ultimately it will hearken back to the good ol'days and inspire better days to come, which I think we could all use.
My first time. I just learned of this bakery and it's involvement in the community. No day Olds, yummy baked fresh daily goods. It now will be my regular stop!
The staff has been amazing. I was unaware that you could not, yet, order in advance online, pay online and then use your card for points. The individual was able to assist me in a very professional way, contacted the manager, and was able to resolve the issue. Thank you. This bakery is one of my favourites.
The customer service here is incredible - they truly make an effort to go above and beyond. Everything we've ever gotten from here has been so delicious and fresh!
Workers are disrespectful. Garbage service. I was asked to go outside of the store not in a polite way. Outside it says 2 family's allowed. There were 2 people inside and I dint knew they were family or not. I suggest they should mention 2 people at a time and change employees there or give them a better training to be respectful.
I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Everyone who works here is wonderful, and the owners are truly kind and wonderful people. They really care about their customers and it is evident in every single interaction. 10/10 best Cobs I’ve ever been to.
I went into Cobbs for a coffee which they don't serve? So I looked over the delicious breads and choose a blueberry custard croissant. The sweet girl at the counter said it was on the house. Fantastic and made my day. Wish they had Cobbs coffee. I made her accept a donation to her schooling.
Cobs Bread West Hills is a terrible place to go and get bread and sweets. When I went there the service was terrible, the workers were incompetent. While I was getting my bread sliced, I overheard the boss being disrespectful to his employees and even making them cry. Everything is over priced for what they sell, their scones are more than two dollars each, and on top of that, they gave me the complete wrong scones. Their local officers do not last long and are not worth it. When I first walked into the store, I took one look at the displays and I was mortified at the disorganization. In conclusion, I do not recommend going to any Cobs Bread owned by the owner, even Zehrs sweets and breads are better than this.
Inconsistent with high prices is how I would sum up this Cobbs location. I have been to this location several times. It is usually pretty good but the last time I came it was pretty lousy. I got what was the worst sour dough loaf that I ever had at a Cobbs. I asked for thin sliced, but they gave me thick sliced. I probably should have checked my order more closely before leaving. In conclusion, I would say this location is hit or miss. Sometimes it is very good, other times its pretty bad. Not sure I would want to take the chance here given the high prices.
A very welcome addition to this community. A very pleasant surprise when I tried their breads. They were all very tasty. Their shop smelled so good, their products all looked so good and looked fresh and best all they all tasted good. Everybody should go there and try their breads. It will not disappoint.
Have gone here twice since they opened recently. Fresh and yummy baked goods, and great customer service. Good decision to open in the West End, much appreciated.
Amazing place! I visited over the Easter weekend and despite being newly opened and busy, there were still plenty of delicious good to choose from. Best hot cross bun I have ever tasted (apple cinnamon). Thank you and look forward to visiting you regularly now you are in the West end!
