University Square Bakery & Deli

This place is pretty sketchy. Its so bare inside and not much variety. Felt sketchy eating the sandwich I got.
Plus someone scratched my car while I ran in to get a sandwich for 5 minutes. Thanks.

Went in for breakfast as opposed to buying the usual timmies.
Not much variety going on, but I saw fresh muffins sitting on the front counter.
Homestyle freshness and typical bargain goods are to be expected.
My banana muffin was yummy, but I was kinda hoping for something a little different that morning.

I can’t believe I didn’t discover this place earlier. I had lived in Guelph from 2005 – 2012 (I know!) and I didn’t discover this place until then end of 2011 or probably even early 2012. Their bread is very very fresh and I especially love that you can purchase a whole loaf of marble rye bread. Their sweets are delicious and very comforting. Don’t expect anything fancy but you can definitely expect home-​style, decent desserts if you are having a sweet craving. They also have a deli section and they have quite a variety of meats. They also have ready made sandwiches, dips occasionally, etc. in their fridge section. I’ve tried their ready made sandwiches but ultimately went onto buy my own bread and deli stuff there and made my own sandwiches because I realized that I’m a weirdo and do not like any form of sauce, butter, spread (ie: mayo) on my sandwiches and a lot of sandwiches are prepared that way.
But this place is a lot more fresh than your average grocery store and it isn’t very expensive either. Their little desserts may be a little pricy but they are well worth it. Apple strudel is also good too and reasonably priced.
