Reviews of Licious Italian Bakery Cafe (Coffee Shop)

Caitlin Wright

If I could give 10 stars I would. I had a chicken cutlet sandwich, and it was Devine. Messy as it should be, the bun was extremely fresh, chicken was moist. I'll definitely be back and recommending this place to all my friends. Thanks for a great lunch !

Bjorn Surmann

Heard a new Italian Bakery opened in South West Barrie from one of my work colleagues, he said it was great... he was right!! all the staff there were really friendly and accommodating and you could tell they had a passion for the place succeeding. Keep up the great work guys, the sandwiches were amazing!!

Sergio Medeiros

Amazing food, reasonable prices and the veals are to die for.

Andrew Geddes

The CANNOLIS... Mygod the cannolis! They're literally the best I've had, nothing compares to their chocolate chip cannolis! In addition, they've got a fantastic assortment of desserts and baked goods and they're all great. From baby cheesecakes to butter tarts to various pastries. Lastly their espresso and espresso drinks are really good as well. If you're local and haven't been to Licious... It's time. The staff are lovely and you can't go wrong with any of the food. If you're driving through - it's 5 minutes off the 400, west on Mapleview. Go here on the way to (and from) the cottage. I'm telling you, they're the best cannolis you'll have!

Meatball sandwich Is a solid go to. Hard to beat. Clean, friendly service with a quality product. Thank you Stefano and Rose! Glad to have you guys around the corner.

Visited this cafe a few weeks back, was in the area and wanted a nice coffee. Saw they had cannolis, and so glad we visited because they are the best!! Also the latte was made to perfection with care! Definitely recommend and will visit in the future!

Excellent service. Awesome taste

Michelle Ball

The owners work here and make sure everything is top quality. Has a warm family vibe while feeling like we have a high quality cafe in a little suburb of Barrie. The only place I get a London Fog now!

Michael Marmur

Delicious sandwiches!

Kimberly Golden

I stopped by this bakery to pick up goodies for a high tea and was thrilled with the decadent desserts. The staff, in particular the young man working at the counter were pleasant and helpful. I suspect this bakery is a hidden gem in Barrie!

Salina Laila

Stopped in today for my first (soon to be many) coffee and croissant, the ladies at the counter were all lovely; all smiles, & very friendly. Beautiful interior, very clean, and such a variety of flavors for lattes! Cant wait to try them all as well as the dishes on their menu.

Steve Fogarasi

Erin Kiss

Today I brought my family to the bakery for lunch and oh my gosh the visit was incredible. We were greeted by the staff with a warm and welcoming smile. I had the veg sandwich with a pumpkin spice latte and both we incredible! My kids had the veal sandwich and pasta with meat balls and they loved it! The kids also had a treat for dessert and they had the cannolis brownies and cookies and not a crumb was left! Each item we purchased was delivered to the table. I highly suggest wonderful place for coffee/snack/ or a meal!

Mikeo

Really nice staff and delicious desserts and beverages.

Best Pasta and Deserts ever!!!

Natasha M.

We only had two desserts here because they were almost out of everything an hour before closing on Sunday. The two things we tried were tiramisu and coconut brownie (I think that's what it was called). Both delicious. The prices are a little high as I paid $10 for two things, but the desserts were not a rip off. They both tasted very rich and delicious.

Stacey Lauzon

The Portuguese tarts and cannoli are absolutely to die for!! We are from out of town and ill be back for sure

Marlene G

Great food... amazing service

Daniel

The food is incredible, the pasta and especially the sandwhiches. The drinks are amazing as well!

Heather Cumming

Great stuff good food

Dinah Shaboo

Just had a Licious Signature delivered and I have nothing but good things to say about it. Its so fresh and delicious and everything I'm looking for in a sandwhich. Amazing. 10/10 recommend.

Ana Paula Britto

Best Portuguese tart!

Semco Salehi

J J

Amazing espresso and veal. Desserts are fresh and authentic. Would recommend the cannolis or tiramisu =)

Dave MaGee

Deliscious food and friendly service.

Manu Ella

Rosie and her family was amazing ! Everything about them is great!! The food and the service was excellent! I got food catered to my place for my hunby's 40th birthday and everyone enjoyed. Thank you for making this day extra special in this uncertain time !!! This was my first time trying Licious and I'm so glad I did !!!! Thanks again for everything!!!

Butterfly Baby

The staff are very friendly and I really like the cannolis. I ordered the pasta of the day off of DoorDash and unfortunately, the pasta was so overcooked they were falling apart and mushy. I think it may have been in the hot table for too long or the temperature is too hot. I will be back for a cannoli, though.

Tammy Johnson

Great food and Amazing Service. The delivery guys were the bomb. Thank you for making the party a success.

Skylar Edwards

Good place to go to management really good would recommend to people ????

Jennifer Papotto

Stopped in this morning for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. I drink my coffee black so I am a bit of a stickler and it didnt disappoint and was a perfect counterpoint to delicious bombolini that had to have been made fresh that morning. It was so good I popped in again this afternoon for another cup of coffee and this time a cannoli. Wow is all I can say about the cannoli, clearly fresh with a great just fried crunch. I will be back another time for lunch to try the amazing looking sandwiches.

Mark

Very happy with this place, the sandwiches are large worth every dollar! Many desserts and a selection of coffees and smoothies.

Marina D'Alessio

Catered from Licious Italian Bakery Cafe for a function. Delicious is an understatement! Everything was a hit. Family was talking about it for days! Will be catering again for future functions!

val carmona

Visited Licious for our first time and we were not disappointed! As you can see in the photos, the sandwiches were huge, super fresh, and loaded! We also ordered the Raspberry pomegranate lemonade , and was so refreshing! To finish off we tried a couple of the desserts. The service was amazing, and the owner Rosie made sure we were satisfied from the moment we came in until the moment we left. Will be returning many more times in the future and will refer everyone to try out this hidden gem!

Melissa De Castro

Our centre is Catered by Rosie and her fabulous team. The food is amazing and we all love it!

John M.

It is a great place. Fresh food, delicious and the staff is always friendly. Love this place.

Linda

Love this place it's amazing friendly staff and the food is great plus the lattes are do good too.

Bill T (bilcoPROD)

Always exceed expectations

Sarah Drake

I decided to try this Italian bakery after hearing from my cousin that the veal sandwich he had gotten was amazing. I've tried the rice balls, lasagna, chicken, pasta as well as their desserts and everything was out standing! I happen to be a huge foodie and have a strong love for Italian food. I've eaten at many places across Ontario and I typically don't write reviews, however I felt this time it was necessary. The portions are huge and the prices are incredible. I get at least two meals out of the 3 choice plate they offer. The service is also 5 stars ( I would give more if possible). I'm looking forward to getting food from my new favorite Italian bakery again sometime soon!

Danny Bonitatibus

Veal sandwich, Rice balls, Cannolis were absolutely DELICIOUS!!

Wendy Small

Friendly staff. Good service and great food !

Brent Kennedy

Never fails! My weekly go too!????

Michelle Williams

The veal was amazing!

Jake white

I have driven by this place a lot and decided to step in. The two women behind the counter were absolutely lovely, top notch customer service. I got the veal sandwich which was made quite promptly and tasted phenomenal, a real proper mess to eat with the amount of sauce they use. Which I love in an Italian snadwhich. Would absolutely recomend.

The real food Review guy

Finally tried this place nothing but good feedback from friends and relatives in our community. They recommend I try their signature sandwich it was delicious my wife had the stuffed meatball sandwich And the kids had the pasta and meatballs all very delicious and then topped it off with some delicious pastries. The bill was surprisingly decent, thought they had forgotten to maybe add an order. The staff were very friendly, helpful and very patient as we didn't know what we wanted. A real hidden gem.

Tony

Decided to give this place a try, and I'm glad that I did. I was so pleasantly surprised with the quality of food and customer serviceI received. I've had many authentic Italian veal sandwiches before, and I can confidently say that Licious' veal offerings ranks right up there with the best. Also, major kudos for catering to people who enjoy a spicier meal, the hot peppers and chili oil paste is a perfect amount of heat and is incredibly delicious! With such strong first impression, there's no doubt that I'll be back. Well done!

Majid Khodabandehloo

Delicious ????

Onofrio Tamburello

Very clean and organized. The veal sandwich was so tasty and the cannoli topped it off.

Frank Albanese

Awesome cafe, espresso is amazing and the food is great too!

Dan Lemay

Feeding the contractors at my house, excellent veal sandwich's and penne pasta! Great Friday treat!

Stephen Birks

Excellent service and tasty products.

Jeff Walters

I had originally gone to a new restaurant that opened up called California sandwiches. The wait time was atrocious and I ended up walking out after half an hour when told that my sandwich won’t be ready for another 20 minutes. I then came here at Licious and as I sit here finishing my exquisite veal sandwich,I must say, that this is as good as it gets anywhere I have been over the years. The service, the attitude and the complete attention to quality and detail is noticeable as soon as you enter the premises.

Marlene Pearce

I had spent many years enjoying amazing Italian homemade food with my husband’s family almost every Sunday for dinner. Have not had any for many years. My daughter tried this new shop when visiting family in Barrie, and raved about it. Being from Toronto, I was afraid I would never get the chance to try exceptional homemade Italian food again. My daughter placed an order for both our families, and picked it up and brought it back to Toronto. We had the lasagna, (and I make a pretty good mange-cake version), but I must say, for me, this was the best one I have ever had. From the homemade sauce and noodles, to the perfectly seasoned meat, and melted mozarella (added a few minutes before it was finished cooking so it wouldn’t burn), this meal exceeded my expectations. The cannoli, Portuguese tarts, eclairs, bread and cold cuts were so mouth watering and delicious. I would seriously consider moving to Barrie just to enjoy this food regularly. Thank you Liscious for the extra work to prepare homemade healthy food that brought back wonderful memories of good food, laughter, and family. A wonderful experience during a time when families must stay apart.

Jessica C

When I screwed up my Doordash order. I had to drive to bakery to pick up what I forgot. The lady was so nice and stayed later than close to make sure I got my food! Awesome customer service and will definitely order again!!

Denise Coleman

If I could give more then five stars I would!!! This was my first time ordering from this wonderful place. I had ordered veal for my husbands birthday dinner. Rosie went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The food was absolutely incredible. They have the best canaloni I have ever had! I will definitely Be a customer for life!

Lindsay Stevenson

Friendly staff, excellent lattes and amazing cakes and tarts, all nut free! The entire facility is nut free! So good.

Julie Villa

I stopped in for my first time this morning, Let me say this first.. the layout of the bakery looks amazing, modern and clean. I was told from a few friends about this place that I needed to go try them out so here I am writing my review So let’s start with the customer service ! I walked in wanting to get a hot meal ... so obviously I asked if the hot table was open, the reply from the young lady behind the counter was that everything is now cooked and prepared in the back due to covid, and also to reassure the safety for all the customers when ordering so all customers stay the proper distance from each other ... I absolutely love that .... I see other places that don’t do this ... and it’s a great idea , very happy to see how far and beyond they went when it came to the customers safety .. after my purchase she even sanitized the debut machine !! This must but the first time since covid that I’ve seen a employee sanitize the debut machine after it’s used ... reassuring safety for the next customer ... Okay so now the food ! ... So too start it off I wanted a meatball sub .. but since I’m a picky person I asked if it’s possible to make it another way that’s less messy ? Again .. I’m a picky person... so what they did for me was instead of putting it in the Italian bun they cut out the top of a Kaiser bun and put the meatballs inside with my preferred toppings ( mushrooms , sweet peppers and mozzarella ). And let me tell you that was one of the best meatballs sandwiches I’ve ever had .... and also much easier to eat ... it was like a bowl , soooooo good . And knowing that they are willing to customize you’re order to assure the best possible experience shows how much they care ... I also got a pumpkin spice latte with a shot of salted Carmel .... and coming from a person that goes to Starbucks and Tim hortons .... this was fantastic, and you can’t beat the price compared to Starbucks ... I’ve also heard a lot of good things about their iced coffee ! So that’s the next drink I’m getting when I come back ! Thanks for the food Licious family ! And everyone should really check this place out ... you’re missing out !

Don Chrysler

Super disappointed to see the man that prepared my sandwich fail to wear a mask. Foods always good. But I find the casual attitude towards wearing masks to be irresponsible.

Matthew Lewis-thorne

Great service, great food highly recommend if u need a quick bite to eat

Courtney Courtice

Licious provided my work with lunch through the Meals 2 Frontline program. The veggie lasagna was amazing and super cheesy!

Cristian Zani

Unfortunately I can’t put anymore stars.... food is really fresh and taste amazing, I’ve tried everything and every single thing is amazing , word of an authentic Italian from off the boat!! Service is fantastic everyone makes you feel like you are family!!

Barry Capp

I have tried almost everything on the menu from hot take out meals to sandwiches deserts to die for and specialty coffees no one can duplicate and to top it off a great family run business that will treat every client like your family. You had me from my first visit to Barrie and if you want Italian this is the place to go to. I Travel over 220 km from Cobourg for my food experience.

banker2525

Had the veal sandwich and a cannoli. This place knows how to cook veal--melt in your mouth, tender, and saucy. Will be going back once I'm out of this food coma.

Sal Tamburello

Fresh food, good service. Excellent price

Taylor Jacques

Iced coffee is the best from here

walter mceachern

Went in to see what they had. Surprised to see they have a hot table for lunch specials. I picked up pasta for dinner. I will be back soon. All good!!

Tamara Gauci

Amazing meatballs and cannolis ???? best service ive seen in a long time!

Tom Wrixon

I'm borderline addicted to their signature sandwich - it may actually be a problem :P ... Small, clean, friendly establishment which is projected well by the staff. My office orders from here regularly, and are never disappointed. I am actually going to order the signature sandwich today for lunch (hence how I found myself on Google writing review about this place :)) - keep up the good work!

Robert Coulter

Always the best

Davis Horowitz

Really nice staff, who you can tell actually care about the quality of the food and guest experience. I'll definitely be coming back.

Tim L

Quality food and friendly staff.

Brittany Conforti

Would so recommend this place to anyone, their hot table tastes amazing, their espressos are on point and their desserts are homemade and to die for. They're friendly staff and serve their customers right away and amazingly. 100% worth going

Dulce Pinho

Really I should give LICIOUS a 5 plus! A colleague and I ordered sandwiches for pick up. These were huge and smelled so great even through the take out bag. Got to work and were swamped so we couldn't even eat them at the time....ate them about 20 minutes later and they smelled AND looked like we just picked them up. Meant to take a picture but just had to dig in....It was so YUMMY.....everything was fresh, the chicken wasn't dry at all and oh so messy! Not to mention that the owner was just so wonderful and polite and offered superb customer service!

Derek Thompson

Came in for a quick lunch ordered a veal cutlet, tasted great. Super fresh. Friendly service, we’ll definitely be back !!!

jeremy uylenbroek

High quality food and service..... Esspresso was one of the best I've ever had..... Cannoli (real).... mmmmmmm Pulled pork....oh my.... melted like butter in my mouth and was super juicy and full or real flavor Yum yum....... This is a great place Tell your friends....

jason scharff

The food here is delicious, the baked goods are amazing. My gf woke up super excited to go grab a box of baked goods and a sandwich today, we were super disappointed when we noticed the woman at the counter was wearing her mask around her chin, not covering her mouth. Another woman came out of the back to refill the pasta and didn't have one on at all. We had to walk out. Regardless of your politics on masks, when preparing and serving food they should be worn. Total bummer, we won't be going back and we frequented it a few times a week. If you're going to have a sign on the door requiring customers to wear a mask because it's the law... as an update to the comment below, I apologize.. she came out of the back to do something, it was just in the area your pasta usually is. My mistake. I didn't want to get close enough to see what she was actually doing and I didn't really care. . The point is she was in the back without a mask and came to the front without one, and the cashier was wearing hers around her chin not covering her mouth, and she was walking behind the food counter as well.

Donald McCarthy

Delightful experience and delicious baked goods. The only thing better than the taste of their pastries was how great their customer experience was. This is an example of how small business should be run. The whole team, from the person who answered the phone when I called to pre-order to the owner who chatted me up at pick up, was genuinely engaged and seemed to look for ways to exceed my expectations. You are now "my bakery"!

Warren Hunter

Simply the best veal and meatball sandwiches in Barrie. I only like homemade foods and this is it. Buns are always fresh veal always done perfect. Staff are the greatest, you can tell this is a family run place. Finally an amazing eatery in Barrie, they are rare. Well done!! My go to is the veal with cheese, mushrooms, and peppers. To die for!!!

Gary Silva

Great family ran bakery awesome food awesome prices not much else you can ask for.

Rick Coccimiglio

The team at Licious was super amazing to work with. They took great care of a little Mother’s Day gift I wanted to share with my mom. As I haven’t been able to see my parents in months due to the lock down and distance they were able to bring a smile to my parents face! Thank you so much!!

Lucas Eremita

Best service I've seen at a bakery in years! Honestly I didn't know what to expect going in and I felt like I was family walking out. Truly blessed to know these guys are around. To top it off nothing but top quality food in there. I'll definitely go back. Wow can't believe I didn't go to this place sooner. Highly recommend????????

Jamie Wilson

Amazing food and super friendly service. 2 thumbs up from the entire family! You can tell this is a family-run business with tons of pride in what they do. Highly recommended.

Fuzzy Kitty

Ken Spurvey

Great little Hidden Gem in the city of Barrie. Amazing sandwiches and baked goods. You won't be disappointed! Thank You!

Mike Bogio

I have been eating Italian sandwiches since I came out of my mothers womb. I ordered a veal sandwich with cheese, mushroom and sweet peppers. First off, the cheese is so rubbery; the veal is not edible at all, it was not breaded properly or even breaded from the looks of it, and on top of that it was extremely tough and leathery. Even though mushrooms can be eaten raw, it was so undercooked and cold.

Joanne Morganti

This is REAL Italian food...best in town...Their cannoli are perfection. So happy to have this place in our city.

Cheryl Van

I randomly found this place around March time just before everything shut down and I'm so glad I found this gem. They have the best cannolis in Barrie. A lot of places have been losing their touch but Licious has not. Haven't got the chance to know the staff well but they were so amazing and I will always give them my support. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Paul Makowski

They deserve success. The coffee, the canolli, all of it all of it is made with quality, care and love. I will definitely be going back and make this place my regular cafe.

Teresa Z

AMAZING PLACE!!! if I could give 5 plus stars I would. If you are looking for a real Veal sandwich this is the place! Fantastic staff! First time customer, and I will be back to try an espresso and more. California sandwiches is getting a lot of attention, this place is far superior in every way. Prices are amazing here as well. Thanks for a great first experience.

Daniela Annoni

Want Italian pastries or hot fresh cooked lunch or dinner? THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!!! Food is always fresh and the staff is very friendly! A family feel for sure! Great place in Barrie! GO GO GO !!!

Diane Osborne

June 9th 2020. We were craving a homestyle Italian meal while everthing was closed. We came across this place and decided to try them. They came through 100% percent delicious ????! Thank you for making our anniversary special!

Not quite on the level of California Sandwiches, but very close. Amazing customer service.

Amanda Chaddock

Peter Johnson

I would like to thank everyone at Licious for all the work that was put into making my wife’s birthday a success! The food was absolutely amazing. The penne alfredo and veal parm were a hit. Thank you so much to all the staff.
