Granby

Review Summary

Pain-Pain Boulangerie Artisanale earns praise for high quality bread and a wide variety of options that many describe as very good and enjoyable, with sandwiches on baguette and bread that feels worth seeking out. Frozen bread is handy for toasts, and the overall quality and freshness of the products are consistently highlighted. Customer service is noted as helpful and communicative, though a few reviews mention a lack of courtesy. Families with kids find the atmosphere welcoming and the day starting well, with many options and a sense of being in France, and some plan to return later the same day because the offerings are so good.

Sushi Japanese Asian

Review Summary

Onigiri Shop draws a mixed set of reviews, with several diners calling it a great value and a convenient, cozy lunch counter thanks to large, filling onigiri and quick service, and a wide range of flavors from spicy salmon to beef with marinated egg yolk and even Korean fried chicken. Others praise the affordable price and generous fillings, sometimes noting the rice is the main star, while a few find the portions too rice-heavy or the fillings sparse and occasionally oily. There are plenty of positive points about the atmosphere and friendly staff, but some experiences mention cleanliness concerns, a small dining area, limited seating, and a tiny bathroom, with reports of a weak sanitation impression and even warm raw fish in some cases. Occasional order mistakes or menu misunderstandings are mentioned, but some staff corrections and courtesy are noted; gluten-free awareness was flagged as unclear by at least one reviewer. Overall, Onigiri Shop is seen as worth trying for value and variety, though dining in may be less enjoyable for some and cleanliness or service can be variable.View restaurant profile
