Small Scale Bread

Ever since my first visit last year, I have stopped by on every Saturday I could to buy a loaf of Country White Sourdough bread. If I know in advance that my schedule won't allow me to go on an upcoming Saturday, I'll get two loaves since they freeze so well! The introduction of the bread slicer has also been super convenient. My guilty pleasure here is their superb almond croissants; Small Scale makes an excellent frangipane filling and when I can't justify treating myself I'll settle for just a croissant itself as it's a star on its own. Having tasted had an array of their delectable treats, I have found no faults and loved every bite. My only wish is that they would make their delicious pizza available on weekends since I can never make it there on a weekday lunch time. Never change Small Scale.

A hidden gem of Belleville. I live in San Francisco and stopped by this bakery en route to Toronto because it opened at 8am normal Bakery time instead of 10am like the rest of the bakeries. Gosh what a perfect loaf of sourdough, rivaling the best of SF! Crispy yet chewy crust with soft and moist inside. The cookies were flavorful and chewy. We bought a few other pastries just to try because they looked so good. They were all wonderful. A very legit “big city” bakery in a small town/small city. Their drink department could use improvement though. I’d say they are a great bakery but not a cafe yet. Highly recommend if you want bread loaves and bake goods.

Everything I’ve gotten is the best version of that thing I’ve ever had. A must try. Hope they are around for a very long time. The bee’s knees as they say.
