Om nom nom! I love Hawkers! I crave this place all the time. I really wish I had got an extra dish to take home for my lunch. Damn!

Thinking of Hawkers takes me back over 4 years ago when I lived a few blocks away. Me and my roommate would wander up…More »

I loooove this place, and I don't even need to eat a GF or DF diet anymore!  I still pop in to grab some buns and treats for my cousin, and when I do I get a little snack for myself.  

The buns are flavourful, chewy, and delightful.  I don't know why…More »

A long time favourite of mine.  I hadn't been back for some time, but I am sure glad it is just as good as when I used to come regularly.

Actually, I think this place has improved over the years.  The Locus used to be known for dreadfully slow…More »

This place is a must visit on any Main Street shopping adventure!

Another great Main Street clothing boutique.  Local designers and unique clothes are what bring me in.  They also carry a selection of Dish Jeans which fit me well.

The coats they carry are just beautiful and fun, though I have never purchased one, I…More »

I was tempted to give 5, but held off because of the price point. But they get top marks for selection!

I used to live near this place when it was still just the tiny beer store. Now that they have expanded they have so much more to offer.

Why do I…More »

I LOVE Red Cat.  I wouldn't say they are the absolute best, but they do a damn good job and the staff are always really nice (not pretentious).  I like the layout of the new shop and think it is fabulous that they have managed to stay open in this…More »

Having been to this shop many times, I was super impressed on my last visit.  Other times I have been less impressed.  It depends who is working.

Anyhow, this review gets 4 stars thanks to the lovely girl that helped me find a wool that would work for…More »

A cute little shop with a rotating stock of fun surprises.  

There is a little bit of everything in this place.  It's a great place to find materials to make your own cards as well as super cool art projects for kids.   This store makes me wish I was…More »

I love Burgoo.  Burgoo makes my tummy so happy.  I crave the grilled cheese here like no other grilled cheese (exception: in BC that is... I have had others that are even better).  It seems as though they have started skimping on the cheese in the…More »

Try the milkshakes.  Just do it.  Raaaallllggg... Peanut butter and chocolate?  Yes please!

Recommendations: Sit at the bar.  Chat with the friendly bar tender.  Then turn around and look at the top of the wall behind you.  And if you are curious, ask…More »

I'm still loving this place after all these years.  Our floor hockey team is becoming a regular fixture here when our group size is small enough.  The service is always excellent, friendly, and efficient.  The food is really great, and the prices are…More »

Lunch time on a weekday seems to be the time to go.  We did not suffer from a lack of service the other reviewers have mentioned.  The service was friendly and helpful the whole time.

I really enjoyed my dim sum here.  Normally my morals get in the…More »

Best veggie burger I have had in ages.  The patty is made there and has beets in it!  

No extra charge for yam fries is a win.

Service is still sloooow.  But friendly.  

Cans of Lucky have gone up to $3.75.  Islanders and hipsters, shed a tear.

I came here for brunch to use up some Groupons and was actually really impressed.  I liked the decor, as it was cozy but not dark and gloomy.  There was an air of retro but also contemporary, and everything felt good.  The purple bathroom is also…More »
