Tony's Focaccia

What is Tony's Focaccia? Sharing an intimate counter on Augusta Avenue with sibling bakery Milk and Cookies, Tony’s Focaccia brings French-trained baker Anthony Phoumivong’s slow-fermented baking craft to Kensington Market. The compact storefront centers on glass cases stacked with golden, dimpled loaves freshly baked and drizzled in olive oil. Designed predominantly for grab-and-go service, it is geared for handheld lunches taken to Bellevue Square Park or enjoyed on foot down Augusta.

Tony's Focaccia Menu & What to Order Sandwiches are assembled on thick, salt-flecked rosemary focaccia with a crackling crust that easily anchors hefty fillings. The menu favourite is The Soprano, layering prosciutto and provolone with balsamic-tossed arugula and a savoury mushroom-walnut pâté. Mortadella fans should order The Hawk for its bright counterweight of creamy lemon ricotta and Dijon mustard, while plant-based diners are covered by the Antonia Vegana with roasted vegetables and house arugula pesto. For dessert, the standout curveball is The Tiger—a generous scoop of nostalgic Tiger Tail ice cream pressed into warm, rosemary-scented focaccia.

Know Before You Go This is a strict walk-in operation with no reservations, and peak lunch rushes on weekends frequently generate lines before batches run low. Street parking across Kensington Market is scarce, making the 506 Carlton or 510 Spadina streetcars the smoothest way to arrive. Operating hours run Wednesday through Sunday starting at noon, with the kitchen closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
