Country Style

There are times when you just don’t want to talk to anyone or see anyone you work with (or sometimes even your loved ones). We all go through that right? When two people talking loudly seem loud enough to be irritating. Take refuge from Country Style on Eglinton Avenue West. I come here for lunch sometimes when I need quiet times.
It’s not busy during lunch time and the place is half empty. People come, order and bring their food back to their office. Or illegally eat in their vehicles (it is illegal to eat while driving, seriously).
The food selection is not plenty and substandard compared to restaurants. Beside it’s a coffee shop — do not expect a gourmet. Heavens.
I normally order the soup which was probably high in sodium. Who cares I’m stressed out when I’m here. I often rebel. Call it comfort food. They have tuna salad sandwich too often served cold bread. They don’t ask you if you want your bread toasted so make sure you mention it before putting a scoop, one scoop, of tuna.
Not recommended for a date but recommended for quick bite. And peace of mind.

It was a little eerie walking into this place at 6 am and having 3 old guys stare at me while I walked from the side door to the counter. This was my first visit to a Country Style in probably 15 years.
I wasn’t really impressed with the muffin selection as they all seemed to be really boring options; nothing fun like Tim Horton’s fruit explosion muffin. I didn’t let this fact affect my rating though since one little location in Etobicoke can’t be blamed for a corporately mandated muffin menu.
I gave these guys 3 stars because it was a pretty standard experience. They got my order right, I didn’t get coffee instead of tea. The staff greeted me, weren’t overly friendly, but weren’t grumpy either. The place was clean and tidy. Nothing super fantastic about the experience and nothing poor about it either.

First time trying one of these grilled sandwiches at Country Style. I got the Tuscan turkey.
I really liked the pictures that tell me what’s in it without a description.
It’s on a square flat thin kaiser but toasted. The bread to stuff ratio was pretty good. And you can have different sauces like peppercon ranch, honey mustard etc
