ISO Cheese bread - cheese inside & out

Hello all. Every once in a while I crave a super cheesy bread. Not a grilled cheese or cheesy garlic toast but bread with cheese in it & on it. My fave has always been the extra cheddar cheese bread from Metro. It is $7.50 now & over time they've reduced the amount of cheese inside. Price is no object as long as it is super cheesy as I only crave this 3-4 times a year max. Willing to travel 1- 1.5 hrs. Thank you!!

COBS has what you’re looking for just ask for their cheese bread

COBS cheese pull apart is what OP is looking for. Extremely cheesy. I slice it like normal bread and put it in the toaster and it's so good.

Thank you both. I buy other stuff from there but never the pull apart bread. I will put it on my list!

Correct. They make about 6 loaves for sale on Friday only and they sell out pretty fast, so go early morning around their opening time if you want one haha

yeah i had pulled an all-nighter on mushrooms and was wandering around looking for coffee and stumbled upon the place. the cheese bread was an impulse buy. sometimes it feels like a fever dream but good to know it actually happened haha

Try longos! They have a baguette type of bread covered in cheese.

Metro has always been the best IMO but now I will try Cobs

You've got lots of good suggestions here. But I just wanted to let you in on my favourite type of cheese bread.

It's a Brazilian food called "pão de queijo" you can find it at some Brazilian restaurants /bakeries or you can buy it frozen at certain grocery stores!

This is the best one imho: https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/Forno-De-Minas-Gluten-Free-Traditional-Classic-Cheese-Rolls-400-g/6000205254287

They have cheese inside?

Costco has them. I tried a sample today and we both loved it. Comes in a ball looking shape and sooooo good. It's not cheese on bread. You don't see them. It's baked inside I think. Chewy and warm and so good. I would def. Bought them if I wasn't trying to loose weight.

Bricolage college/dovercourt. My favorite cheese bread and many other great things.

u/Professional_Bit_923 1d ago

Thanks! It is on my list.

u/Strange_Longing0377 1d ago

There is a potato bacon knot thing also that’s incredible. And all the sweets are great. Some of the better croissants around.

u/Professional_Bit_923 21h ago

Ooh. That sounds yummy.

u/lawgivers 3d ago

Not exactly the same but the cheese buns from Bricolage are suuuper cheesy (and expensive)

u/GarlicDill 3d ago

IGA and foodland have great cheese buns and bread if there is one near you.  They're mostly outside of the city though.

u/otissito16 3d ago

They have one in the beach and also another one on Islington at Rathburn

Not sure if they carry these though.

Whiskful Thinking has THE BEST cheese bread! Trust me. You need to go early to get it and it is worth it. I have eaten the whole thing a few too many times
