Morning Parade on Dundas right across from Trinity-Bellwoods park. Cozier than it looks from outside!

Yes, they just opened recently but I fear they won't be around long. I pass by nearly twice a day and have never seen a single person inside. It also doesn't help that for a few days they already had a yellow DineSafe notice in the window a couple of weeks after opening.

I stopped in briefly a while ago as I was excited to finally see a German inspired business open downtown...but...I felt underwhelmed. A proper German bakery should be open at 6 am, practically bursting with fresh bread and other baked goods (think of the famous Dimpflmeier in Etobicoke), but the offerings in this place are very spartan and the hours are surprisingly casual. Do they even make their own stuff?? It was hard to tell as it didn't have that signature smell. Also, minus points for the hip hop music that was playing when I was there - that just doesn't create the appropriate vibe at all.

This place will be gone before Christmas.

@rdaner Place is already DONE

Did I not call it??? I have a natural radar for retail death long before it even inevitably occurs. Oma's German Bakery had the vibe of it from day one. Compared with a proper, real German bakery, they did just about everything wrong. So disappointing since I would love to see one somewhere, anywhere downtown...
