lady who brunches: You just admitted it yourself, the 16oz is 25 cents more! And my review was from a year ago, it's possible that any one of those places have changed their pricing since then. Actually I know for a fact that Starbucks did increase prices, and I'm about 80% sure Bridgehead did as well.

The Lavazza coffee at the Westboro location is incredibly, and has become my regular coffee place these days.
Not too sure what Candice means about prices: It's about the same or less than what you would pay at Bridgehead or Starbucks. 16oz (Grande at Starbucks) is $2.25 with tax. Well worth the extra quarter!!!

They have good Lavazza coffee here (Westboro location)! And they serve decent espresso. Not as good as we had in France, but still very good. Nice crema and not too bitter.
However, their coffee is a bit more expensive than at similar places down the road (Bridgehead, for example).

One thing I did notice when we were in the Westboro location of Swiss Pastries: they have a variety of little marzipan characters available to purchase fairly inexpensively (around $4 or so). I am sure they would make a cute addition to a birthday or other special occasion cake. :D

Only available on Thursdays, the soft pretzels are pretty good, perfectly salted and relatively chewy (although, as Pete in Ottawa mentioned, they don't have the shiny, crispy sheen to them). I usually bring home a few to serve with dinner (sliced meat, cheese, salad).

We tried their panini today at the Westboro location; delicious but a bit overpriced. I tried a vegetarian roasted vegetable one and mendel tried a Tuscan chicken one. Each was on a different sort of bread (mine was a rosemary bread) and had nice fresh toppings. But at 6+ dollars each, they were a tad expensive.

Just grilled some of these up on the BBQ. One day I'll work up the nerve to simmer them in stock the Bayern way...
Anyway, these were excellent Weißwürst. A little longer than the ones in zymurgist's photo. They didn't have green bits, which is fine with me. I believe Swiss Pastries also carry the chived (parsleyed?) ones but they were out of them when I dropped by. This was the Carlingwood location.

I tried their Smoked Sausages and they were the very good, dense kind. Best grilled or simmered, sliced with a sharp knife, and enjoyed with sauerkraut and potatoes. They also had Garlic Smoked Sausages and Farmer's Sausage that looked promising but I didn't try them.
