 1. Crêpe It Up

(416) 916-3558

Categories: Creperies, Breakfast & Brunch

Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core

4.0 star rating

This is the best crepe joint in Toronto!
They serve fresh crepes, and their savoury selection is actually delicious, -a first for most creperies.

Service here is far above average. Our petite crepe 'artiste' -Tina, I believe, was extremely warm,…More »

 2. The Pie Shack

2305 Queen St E
Toronto, ON M4E 1G7

Categories: Desserts, Coffee & Tea

Neighbourhood: The Beach

4.0 star rating

Mmm... Pie.

If I lived near The Pie Shack, it might be a need for concern. I would be an enormously fat but happy person. Instead I am reduced to my snappy, smaller self in desperate need of pie.

The Pie Shack can fill so many uses in a small…More »

I tried my first Tiny Tom donut today after sarah l's solid recommendation, and I'm so thrilled to share it. This donut is like no other. Trust, as these are the words of a self-proclaimed donut fiend.

Judge not the size, for each donut at Tiny Tom's…More »

735 Markland St
Markham, ON L6C 0G6

4.0 star rating
  2/25/2010

Marble Slab= ColdStone Creamery. If you've been to Coldstone in the U.S. then you've pretty much been to Marble Slab as well. It has the same system, interesting flavours and candy toppings.

Choose a size, a flavour and as many 'mixins'(toppings) you…More »

Categories: Bakeries, Desserts, Coffee & Tea

Neighbourhood: Kensington Market

4.0 star rating
  6/22/2009

I'm a sucker for baked goods; pies, cookies, breads... Then to top it off with non-traditional ingredients and flavours, well, that's a match made in heaven.

There is a trade-off when one has to consider the options between selection and freshness as…More »

Dear Krispy Kreme,

I know I wasn't a great friend when you first came to town.
I know I promised to show you a good time, and introduce you to my friends.
I'm sorry we didn't go on picnics in the park and I didn't even take you to work.
I'm sorry we…More »

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

3.0 star rating
  8/9/2010

I've been coming to 7 West off and on for a very long time, and a few things have changed. However, it's still one of the best restaurants in the city for a quality 'round the clock menu.

Some of my favourite dishes here, are the pastas (their rose…More »

 8. Kwality Sweets & Restaurants

2150 Steeles Ave E
Brampton, ON L6T 1A7
(905) 790-1684

Categories: Indian, Buffets

3.0 star rating
  1/14/2010

Kwality seems like an entirely random experience in Toronto. Every time I'm back here it feels like I'm actually somewhere in Punjab, India. This place is riddled with Fobs. So much so that it's a pretty fun experience. Actually, scratch that, come…More »

Category: Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt

Neighbourhood: The Beach

4.0 star rating
  7/17/2011

4 solid stars for great selection and delicious taste.

I stopped by Ed's this afternoon for a delicious frozen treat. Ed's offers plenty of options in the fruit and nut category in ice cream and gelato, though not my first choice. I usually prefer…More »

 10. Calabria Bakery

5261 Hwy 7
Markham, ON L3P 1B8
(905) 471-1033
4.0 star rating
  10/10/2011

Calabria Bakery is a Markham gem. Their cannolis are to die for, in that soft creamy and not so sweet sort of way that induces pangs of nostalgia for a Sicilian vacation. Their filling takes me back to a trip in Cefalu (Palermo) where I sat sipping…More »
