As someone who doesn't like to sit in at a table when I eat I didn't mind the lack of seating as there isn't much space for it and could become crowded quick. I've had several sandwiches & wraps and every one has been phenomenal...both in taste and portions. The staff is also a pleasure to be served by and the owner herself cares about the community which is refreshing to see. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone who is on the fence or just looking for a bite.More

We are frequent visitors to Stratford for the Festival. We've visited Sirkel foods in the past for lunch. For what it's worth, they've redecorated since our earlier visits and the interior is totally different from what is in some of the photos in this site...(more about that below). Sirkel is now completely a take-out place, with no tables. It has dark walls leading up to a kind of post-industrial set of counters, one to order and one for pickup, through plexiglass dividers that are kind of like the windows at banks or ticket booths with a slot at the bottom to exchange money or credit cards. There is little dampening material, so the interior is acoustically live, at times uncomfortably so. But for our knowledge that the food would be pretty good, we might have gone elsewhere. The menu is written on a large blackboard on the wall. The food here is actually fresh, plentiful, and very good. There are no tables (nor is the setting conducive to a friendly meal), but on a nice day just cross the street to the many picnic tables around the town hall or, if it is a nice day, go a little further down to the lake. The portions were huge. We had a pesto chicken sandwich and a second sandwich with goat cheese. They use artisan breads and ingredients, so everything was flavorful and tasted well. Our recommendation: Treat this as a takeout place only and consider ordering on line. Come here on a nice day and enjoy a picnic lunch either across the street or at the park by the lake. Expect to bring food home.More

No reviews in the past year? This place is GREAT for sandwiches and desserts. We picked up smoked turkey and roast beef sandwiches this year, each enough for two people with chips and/or dessert. Try the Hello Dolly, Brownie, Date Bar, Lemon Bar, anything else....If you call ahead to order, you won't have to wait.More

This welcoming and unassuming spot serves up delicious food! During my 4 day stay in Stratford ON, it was our go to place for breakfast each morning, excellent scones and muffins! It also provided a great take-out lunch with a festive and delicious LGBTQ+ and...gravlox sandwiches. The date squares and lemon are especially good. There are picnic tables in the square directly outside the shop...so a perfect location.More

You get your bang for your buck here. The sandwiches are huge! Sometimes we have to save half for later. Great lunch spot for take-out. They do not have indoor seating anymore, but there is plenty of seating located around the Square, in the park,...etc...make it a picnic, take it home....the possibilities are endless. They are hard working, appreciative, and inclusive. And did I mention the food is yummy??More

Unbelievable fresh food, just had what was ordered as a sandwich egg salad with a twist. Bacon tomato lettuce mixed in a terrific choice. You will not be disappointed the bread is magnificent. The sandwich was so thick I had to squeeze it a little...to start eating. Good job as always Sirkel foods.... the staff is delightfull as well and the table top extras like brownies butter tarts cookies just to name few are a delicious ending.More

My husband and I were quite excited to try the food here given the high ratings. The descriptions of the two sandwiches we ordered sounded amazing. Based on the sandwiches alone, we would not return to this venue - they were bland/tasteless (the only good...part of the sandwich was the pickle that accompanied them). However, the brownie was fantastic! Lastly - a point of contention: when paying for our food order, the credit payment device prompted us to tip the cashier for ringing in our order (note: this is not a sit down restaurant - you stand and wait for your food order). I find this appalling. Why do we need to tip the cashier,,,does the owner not pay her staff a living wage?More

Sirkel has long been a favorite and this visit didn’t disappoint. The Big Papa sandwich is delicious and I liked the take-out only service. There is plenty of outdoor seating in market square in the sunshine to enjoy lunch.

We picked up lunches on 4 days during our stay in Stratford, twice to take along on a hike. Sandwiches are enough to share, especially if you also pick up a fantastic dessert. We had the Dreamwich (a bit messy and luckily not taken on...a hike), smoked turkey and roast beef. One day we picked up two orders of crepes to take back to our room. We should have gotten just one order, they were so large and stuffed! Favorite desserts were date squares and hello dollies. Takeout only. We called in our orders ahead of time, so didn't have to wait long. Very pleasant and prompt service. NOTE: closed Saturday and Sunday (and holidays too)More

No seating. Cow line up. No one to clear open space to void or rid of disease. Staff stays behind counter. Not the same feel. Hate their take out boxes they fall apart. Charge me $42 for lunch I expect to sit. And sorry! No...tip for you. Taking money at a cash register doesn’t warrant tips.More

Open just for take out but that’s ok as there’s a nice sitting area across the street. We ordered a sandwich each on their home made brown bread. Tasty fresh bread, and so huge we could have shared one sandwich. I had the goat cheese...and veggie, my husband, the roast beef. Both fresh and tasty and they don’t skimp on the fillings. A bit pricy for a butter tart, or the other desserts, but they are probably made there. Can’t wait to go back.More
