Cool Places in Leslieville

See All Lists
Leslieville is a really unique community that supports a lot of local businesses. There's some really cool places, that I haven't seen in other 'hoods. It's great because you can get your brows done, get a great workout, pick up some gourmet cheeses and breads, and fancy olive oil ~ and grab a fantastic espresso, all within walking distance!

I love this place!  It's spacious, the staff are friendly and helpful - it's filled with olive oil, vinegars and more things olive (tepanades, etc).

I picked up a gift for a friend here - apparently most of the olive oil is from spain...but they're…More »

This place has a fab selection of vegan/gluten free desserts.  The desserts are rich and delicious.  I've had a few cupcakes and tarts, and they were all delish, and totally worth a try.

They also make some great cookies, and have recently expanded…More »

Today was my second time here..we're in the process of reshaping.  i really enjoy the experience and they're open late-ish (until 8 on most weeknights).  I have friends who swear by this place.

The experience is really lovely, the brow technicians…More »

Both my puppies and I love it here.  They're super nice, and I go in to buy something for my girls whenever I get the chance.  They love love love love the wellness puppy treats.  They haven't started on the sweet potato treats yet, but I think…More »

*3.5 stars*
I really like this bar - it's super low key, and everyone is really nice.  It's really hard to tell that it's a bar from the outside, but they have a cute patio outback.

They have a few sections, and a reasonable variety of drinks.  Their…More »

Love it here!

It's where I discovered Fruli!  The drinks are great, and decor is fab - and everyone must try one of their cheese trays (they have a little something for everyone)

I took in the 11:30am yoga class today.  It was pretty good.  The room was not as warm as usual - and I'm totally thankful b/c it's been a few months since I've practiced.  The teacher was good, the class was challenging, and had enough of the stuff…More »

I wandered in here today to discover there's a new bakeshop/cupcakery in the neighbourhood.  I really enjoy supporting local businesses so I purchased 2 cupcakes.  The outside of the store is cute, and inside it's rather unassuming.  They had 6…More »

Ed's Ice Cream is the place that keeps Queen St E here alive (if that makes any sense).  The scent of their waffle cones often fills the streets, and they stay open late (till 10:30 or 11pm during the summer - talk about smart!)  and open till 9:30pm…More »

After stopping at another cheese market and discovering a new found love for goat gouda I decided to stop into the leslieville cheese market.  They had a variety from Holland (I think), also quite tasty.  The set up here, requires that you talk to…More »

This shop is super cute, and what a novel idea!

I like that they tell you exactly where the fish is from.  That's kind of neat, and you don't get that kind of service at a lot of places.

I think the prices are ok, they're pretty competitive, fish isn't…More »

Their croissants, brioches, and danishes are delicious!

The danishes are a really great weekend treats - I prefer the ones topped with fresh raspberries, but sometimes they top them with walnuts.  The danishes are light and flaky, topped with a super…More »

I was here today - I ordered an iced tea (a great day for it, considering the sunny weather).  The tea was notably a bit tart, they did have honey and sugar, but an ideal solution would have been simple syrup for their iced teas.  Maybe next time.…More »
