1. Gale's Snack Bar
Forget you, laws of physics: time travel IS possible. All you have to do is step through the rickety front door of Gale's Snack Bar at Eastern and Carlaw and you will be transported to a bygone era. This is a diner through and through, dripping with…More »
2. Lady Marmalade
Toronto, ON M4M 1J3
Canada
(647) 351-7645
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Italian
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
I haven't written a review of Lady Marmalade? Let me change that immediately. This Leslieville brunch spot is best known for their legend-and-you-WILL-wait-for-i t-dary queues for weekend brunch. I declare the long wait worth it. And if you have the…More »
3. Mylk Uncookies
To be sure, Gerrard and Parliament is an unlikely location for an indie coffee shop of this calibre but that's what makes Mylk Uncookies such a welcome addition to the neighbourhood. Especially since Jet Fuel really isn't a sit-down spot. You can…More »
4. Capital Espresso
Gorgeous space at the corner of Queen West and Dunn Ave. You don't know where that is? Let's just say it's in that pseudo-not-quite-that-sketchy lane of Parkdale smackdab in the centre of Blondie's and Mother India.
Capital Espresso how do I describe…More »
5. The Emmet Ray
Toronto, ON M6H 1A4
Canada
(416) 792-4497
Category:
Jazz & Blues
Neighbourhood: Dufferin Grove
Popped in here late last night for some drinks before last call. The place was crawling with locals in various stages of inebriation.
It's a long and narrow space. The front is dark and cozy and the raised back room is a bit brighter and better for…More »
6. Rooster Coffee House
Toronto, ON M4K 2N4
Canada
(416) 995-1530
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Riverdale
This is a very calm and inviting space. A few two-tops near the back, and a large communal table. Music is very chill and the service is top-drawer. And one can't say enough about Rooster's glorious front patio and location across from Riverdale…More »
7. The Fish Store & Sandwiches
Toronto, ON M6G 1B7
Canada
(416) 533-2822
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
This chub-sized sando-hole makes some slammin' fish sammiches, I tell you what. There is barely enough room in here for a Mediterranean tuna (four seats), so pray to Poseidon that the weather is fair and that you can sit outside on their lovely…More »
8. Pita Way
Toronto, ON M5B 2H9
Canada
Category:
Middle Eastern
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
I was stumbling down Carleton St. late one night looking for a falafel fix. Not literally stumbling, more like shuffling. Whatever. I found what I was looking for, in the form of Pita Way, their monstrous mustachioed signage beckoning me in. Even…More »
9. White Squirrel Coffee Shop
Toronto, ON M6J 1G5
Canada
(647) 428-4478
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
Have you seen the white squirrel? This Queen West coffeeshop is named for the albino rodent celebrity of Trinity Bellwoods park. Like a rodent, the café is pretty small and feisty, but unlike a rodent the staff won't gnaw on your belongings or infect…More »
10. The Burger's Priest
Toronto, ON M4L 1G3
Canada
(647) 346-0617
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Upper Beach
I returned to pray at the Holy altar of meat. Instead of The Priest however, I went for a more modest "cheeseburger". Still took about twelve minutes, and I left stinking like a deep fryer (there is literally oil mist in the air here), but that…More »

11. Ric's Collectibles
Toronto, ON M4M
Canada
(647) 436-5643
Categories:
Music & DVDs,
Vinyl Records
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
If bears loved vinyl, they would make Ric's Collectibles their den. It's like a subterranean cave filled to the brim with records. (Imagine hibernating to King Crimson?) From Queen Street only the tiniest of signs announces its presence, so be on the…More »
12. Toronto's Squirrels
The squirrel most common to Toronto is the Eastern Grey Squirrel. It's a brownish grey creature that also comes in black. They have a long bushy tail that aids in balance, small upturned ears, and big black eyes. They are 20% less cute than…More »
