Delica’s gourmet lunches are coming to Queen West

Anyone who’s tired of waiting 20 minutes in the takeout line at Fresh may appreciate this: the strip of Queen West near Trinity Bellwoods will soon have a new grab-and-go lunch option. An “Opening Soon” sign recently appeared in the window of 920 Queen West (the space formerly occupied by lingerie shop Nearly Naked) announcing the impending arrival of Delica Kitchen, the café and lunch counter that already has locations in Rosedale and Leslieville. Delica is known for its big baguette sandwiches and wonderful baked goods, including doughnuts from owner Devin Connell’s side business, Paulette’s. Which is all just to say—next year’s Bellwoods picnicking prospects are looking better than ever.
