Bread & loaves
The everyday reason to come in. Baked in small batches through the morning — go early on weekends, they don't last.
BakeryBricolage.
A small, hand-run bakery on College Street — bread, pastry and coffee made daily, in the old French sense of the word: bricolage, built by hand from what's around.

The name
A word borrowed from the workshop, kept on the bread board.
Bricolage (brih-koh-lahzh): the quiet, French idea that the best things are made by hand from what's already around you — a little flour, a little time, a little care. That is what happens here, most mornings, before the door opens on College Street.
No factory line, no franchise playbook — just a small counter on College & Ossington, an oven that starts early, and a short menu that changes with the week.
We keep the offering tight on purpose: bread, pastry, and coffee, done the way we like to eat them. If it's not right, we won't put it out.
Come for a loaf and a takeaway coffee on the way to work. Come for a pastry and a slow sit-down on a quiet Sunday. Either way, you'll be met the same way: with something warm, made this morning, by hand.

A neighbourhood spot — and by every quiet metric, one of the best-loved bakeries in Little Italy.
4.9 out of 5 is not an easy number to land. It says the loaves are consistent, the pastry case is fresh, the counter is kind, and the doors open when they say they will. Guests keep coming back because the fundamentals are done well, over and over.
