Brodflour

What is Brodflour? Situated at 8 Pardee Avenue on the western edge of Liberty Village, Brodflour is a working urban stone mill and Scandinavian-inspired bakery originally conceived by Dara Gallinger and Ronnen Harary. The bright, sunlit space features clean pale woods, white-painted brick, bench seating wrapped around a central tree, and an unobstructed view of the stone mill turning heritage Canadian grains into flour. Counter perches, communal tables, and a seasonal sidewalk patio provide casual spots to eat in rather than treating the counter as a simple grab-and-go stop.

Brodflour Menu & What to Order Every loaf and pastry relies on certified organic Canadian grains milled directly on-site and baked within 24 hours. Take home the seed-packed Bird Hearth sourdough or the dense Scandinavian Danish rye, or grab lunch with the pressed turkey baguette stacked with aged cheddar and sweet onion relish. For sweets, prioritize the cardamom knot—known locally as the Cardi B—or the weekend-exclusive sticky toffee Danish alongside a flat white brewed with Monogram espresso. Vegetarian toasts with cultured butter and saskatoonberry jam are stellar, but because flour dust is integral to the milling space, there are no gluten-free options.

Know Before You Go Seating is strictly walk-in, and weekend mornings bring lines out the door for limited pastry drops and fresh loaves. Arrive during weekday mornings or early afternoons for the full bread selection and minimal waits, keeping in mind the early 3:00 p.m. cutoff on weekends. Parking on Pardee is limited, though the Green P lot across from Lamport Stadium is steps away, and the 504 King streetcar stops a short walk north.
