I'm still woozy two hours after having a veal sangwich at Agincourt. Thanks to my friend Trina who took me -- and glad we got there before noon, what a line-up! It is tucked away in a small strip mall and truly you'd miss it if someone didnt show you it was there.
I had the $4.99 veal sangwich (love saying it that way) with peppers, onions, mushrooms and rapini...what I didn't realize was that every toppting was an extra $1.50 and the rapini might have been more actually. With a carbonated water -- and a gigantic apple struddel for later, we sat down to eat. There's only about 20 seats so as I said, get there early.
Shari's review best describes the joint so I wont re-hash, other than to say that the sangwich (there I go again) is delicious and Trina and I had a tough time talking with our mouth's full.
Truly a hidden gem. I'll be back with my 16 year old son to do some real damage and will certainly try a plate of food next time, or a meatball sangwich (sorry, I love that).
Ciao! -

Don't let the name Agincourt Bakery fool you, it's an Italian bakery that sells bread, desserts and Italian food. Some might assume it's a Chinese bakery b/c the establishment doesn't have a distinctive Italian name and has Agincourt attached to it which has always had a large Chinese community.
Here is the review.
It's known for having one of the better veal sandwiches in the city ($4.99). Some days the veal is better than others ( more tender) but nonetheless it's still pretty good. The chicken parmesan sandwich is always really good ($5.99). Just remember to ask them to go easy on the sauce or it's makes eating the sandwich really messy.
You can also opt to go for a plate which includes pasta and bread ($9.99) which is also nicely done. The portions are also very generous. Just one thing to keep in mind is that if you want hot peppers or mushrooms and other added items, it will set you back a dollar for each additional item.
I'm also a big fan of their cannolis which are available in vanilla and chocolate custards from what I remember.
Definitely a hidden gem in Scarborough.
FYI: The rating should be a 3.5 stars. -

Shari M. pretty much sums it up. I can add;
They have what should be a staple of all Italian bakeries but isnt - a great eggplant sandwich too. They'll also throw together a "plate"...whatever you want. "I'll have a few slices of breaded eggplant...a bit of broccoli...some of those potatoes...oh, and can you throw on some mushrooms and tomato sauce?" Whatever you want.
Oh, and since they expanded and added seating a couple of years ago, you don't have to take out or sit outside on plastic furniture.
A great, family place. -

Qualifying criteria for a good Italian bakery/deli/caterer:
- you walk in and the owner knows customers names and vice versa: CHECK
- have been in business for years: CHECK
- make a llaarrggee veal sandwich that guarantees you will wear some of it: CHECK
- portion sizes are large, and hearty, enough that a collection of construction workers and other men in uniform are lining up for food: CHECK
- an older Italian couple is talking over espresso: CHECK
All in all, the signs are there.
One of the best lasagnas I have ever had. Something like 7 layers of delish. This warrants a 5 star rating.
What does not warrant a 5 star rating: their veal. The veal is chewy, not tender like butter. The sauce is not flavourful enough. Not something you would expect from an Italian bakery.
If you want lasagna, bread, fresh pasta - go to Agincourt Bakery. If you want veal on a bun - go to California Sandwiches.Listed in: Push the Grocery Cart
