What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Unbelievably cool space, great menu with breakfast, lunch and coffee. We ordered with a big group and food arrived quickly and was delicious. The kids in our group also got banana Oreo ice cream and it was insanely delicious. Highly recommend this place - it has amazing sunlight and plenty of people working on laptops while they are and enjoyed their coffees. Can’t wait to come back soon."
"Absolutely great spot for breakfast or snacks or bakery fare. Pricing matches quality and yes that’s going to affect things a bit, but you’re going to get a better experience here overall than most similar spots in the area. Staff are on the ball and attentive, but it’ll take a few mins to make fresh food for you. The baked goods may even surpass the fresh food options. So come here for bread or pastries and you will find a 5/5 experience for sure. Can’t attest to the ice cream yet but likely also holding a similar standard. Plenty of tables in their industrial chic space for those wanting to dine in, but they have a good balance of to-go traffic too. Will definitely be returning frequently. Odd graphic design / signage complaint: the “rusted for aesthetic” sign out front is really hard to see against the black backdrop of the building’s front wall. I genuinely didn’t understand I was looking straight at the entrance until I went closer. Very odd. Would suggest a larger more readable sign in a brighter color so it’s easier to see from the street."
"Came here based upon a recommendation and was pretty disappointed. Crazy high prices - our toasted bagel with cream cheese was just under $6!! The jalapeno bagel was tasty, light, fluffy, but small given the price. Atmosphere was okay - typical urban industrial look, but nothing special. Service was friendly. Geared to take money from young urban professionals."
"This establishment is an excellent choice for breakfast, snacks, or baked goods. The pricing reflects the quality, and while this may have some impact, you can expect a superior experience here compared to most comparable establishments in the vicinity. The staff are attentive and proactive; however, please allow a few minutes for the preparation of fresh food. The baked goods could potentially exceed the quality of the fresh food options. Visit us for exceptional bread and pastries, and you can expect a top-tier experience. I cannot confirm the quality of the ice cream at this time, but it is likely to meet a comparable standard."
"Grabbed a bagel and croissant to go but the space is beautiful and would be great for a group meal or for some work. The croissant was buttery and had a super clean flavour. The bagel was also tasty. Maybe sourdough? If not then just well fermented. Both were a little too dense and bready but still great."
"Forge has the BEST breakfast sandwiches and the vibes here are great. I order The Dane ( Egg, Cheddar, Muhammara, feta & Spinach ) which was more savory and..."
