Review from Laura C.

Fresh. Tasty. Healthy. It's got to be one of the best quick lunches I've had in a while.
Hidden away at Dupont and Spadina, you might miss it as you walk by (as with a lot of the small establishments on the street). Mostly takeout, there are a few (count 8) seats inside and outside.
They have excellent cibatta grilled paninis - today I had the Walmer (juicy roast beef, dijon, mayo and tons of carmelized onions) $7.99 ($10.49 soup/salad combo).
They also have vegan wraps (many pre-made kinds which can be heated up toasty for you) $3,99, soups, pre-made sandwiches, organic pastries and coffee. Check out the menu I snapped a photo of in the pictures.
please please please try the Ice Moroccan Mint Tea. It's a sweet, minty iced tea that you will not be disappointed. I usually don't like too minty type drinks like mojitos and the like, but this one was more sweet and lemony and perfect. Although, my friend says too minty - to each his own. TRY IT! $1.99
The folks that work here are super friendly and chatty. If even you don't want to chat, they will get you to smile.
I'll be back! -

I have been eating here for a few years now and am collecting stamps on my sandwich/soup/combo card to get the 11th for free! I will often pass by here on my way home from work, so if you are too lazy to cook dinner it's the perfect place to pick it up. Or you could pretend you made it and invite people over.
The sandwiches are yummy, especially because they get shmushed in a panini press and it becomes extra delicious. They are named after Annex Streets, so it gives the place that extra neighbourhood feel. A lot have meat, but you can get veggie options.
All soups are fresh and home made (their beet soup won an award last year) and you can get them in individual take out sizes, or buy a glass jar of soup that you can take home and eat over a week.
There are also fresh salad options and if you don't want a fresh sandwich, have pre-made veggie wraps to go, which they can also unwrap and put on the press.
Desserts are from Sweets of the Earth.
It is a little nook right by Dupont subway, so it's in a very convenient location and has provided me and my friends with many a tasty meal. If you get a combo, you might have to eat only half a sandwich and save the second half for later because the soups are so thick and full of goodness. -

The Bedford($7.99)
Description: Authentically spiced pastrami with seasoned tomato slices, baby arugula leaves, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and grated asiago cheese grilled in a Swiss rectangle panini.
Highlight **Swiss Rectangle Panini**
Being a non-sammich follower, Breads fall under the radar for me.
One of those Food Group subcats I seldom choose for carb-loading.
I do admire the thin Panini Bread having an outside crunch factor.
Inside holds the ingredients to perfection that will make Earl of Sandwich not lose sight of his perfect hand.
Proportions of Ingredients to Bread was also on point.
Nicely done.Listed in: 4+ ****Stars****, Burger Me

Walking along Dupont on a Hot Summer afternoon.... Saw the sign "Moroccan Mint Tea" $1.99, hmmm sounded refreshing...
There are a couple of bar stools seatings inside Annex Hodge but it was unbearable hot inside with Air Conditioning. Luckily there are 2 tables set up by the sidewalk right outside...
Moroccan Mint Tea was A-OK! Refreshing with a hint of honey and a drizzle of fresh lemon juice. Wish can be more icy cold...to combat the hot weather.
Sitting by the sidewalk, inhaling the exhaust from the cars driven by during rush hours......
My Hot Yoga Date for sure will be interested in the Vegan and Vegetarian options Annex HodgePodge offers.Listed in: A Day in The Annex!

Went here for the first time today after seeing my co-workers have sandwiches from here over the past couple of weeks and wanted to see if they tasted as good as they looked/smelled.
I got the Madison sambo and it was pretty sensational. Great panini - very fresh, and delicious ingredients. Nice n juicy chicken breast, and fantastic chipotle mayo.
I don't like cheese so the very nice lady behind the counter suggested I get caremalized onions instead and it was a great call! One of the best sandwiches I've had in a long long time.
Only issue is the price. If this place was a couple of bucks cheaper then I'd be there several times a week. At 9 bucks (tax included) for a sambo, I'll be picking and choosing when I go. If someone was offering to buy lunch though, this would be up there with my recommendations in the area. -

Great little lunch spot that offers yummy soups, salads, pannini pressed sandwiches and pre made vegan wraps. Tip... Want more in the sandwich? Ask for extra veggies for a small fee. The staff great and very friendly.

Yummy, affordable vegetarian options!!
It's great to have this place here, because all the other yummy places around here (Live organic raw foodbar & Mystic oven) are yummy and waaaay too pricey for a quick bite of food. Altho it's not huge it definitely does the trick - yay!
