Run by the same family since the 1980s, this bustling Boundary Street grocer builds serious, generously stacked European sandwiches to order. Regulars line up for the heft of a classic Reuben layered with house corned beef and sauerkraut, or the signature Tony hoagie with prosciutto, eggplant, and fig jam. Beyond the counter, shelves brim with brined olives, imported tinned fish, and rounds of cheese. Quarters get tight around lunch, but the counter crew moves fast, packing warm Portuguese custard tarts and pouring fresh-squeezed orange juice.
- Handcrafted Sandwiches: Generous builds including the corned beef Reuben, the prosciutto-stacked Tony, and fresh salad rolls.
- Authentic Continental Grocer: Shelves packed with specialty European cheeses, smallgoods, brined olives, and imported pantry essentials.
- Baked Sweets & Fresh Juice: Fresh Portuguese custard tarts, whole lemon meringue pies, and squeezed-to-order orange juice.
- Heritage Family Service: Old-school, multi-decade family hospitality where staff treat returning diners like relatives.

Todd Maich Italian Hoagie
Best sub I’ve ever had - I ordered the Italian hoagie. Literally the most delicious deli sandwich I’ve ever eaten
Nathan Castillo The Tony
For me though, The Tony is their masterpiece. Prosciutto, eggplant, camembert and a fig jam that really brings it together as well as pickled onions. It's a ridiculously tasty sandwich.
Todd Maich The Maria
Delicious sandwiches had the Maria & the hoagie both were fresh, well balanced and the flavours paired so well together.

Andrew Hudson Eggs Benedict
We both ordered eggs benedict—salmon for her, bacon for me. The eggs were perfectly poached, the hollandaise rich yet balanced, and the sourdough crisp and satisfying.
Stacy Hughes Lemon Meringue Tart
We ended up also taking home a whole lemon meringue tart - cause sometimes you just have to take the whole damn tart home haha
