Category:
Nail Salons
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville
I wanted to treat myself and get my eyebrows cleaned up. Saw the store front and cute name and knew I had to try it out. So glad I did. The store is a great mix of being girlie and cottagey. Mismatched whitewashed furniture and pink art (for sale…More »

Barbeque
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville
I had planned a smallish surprise b-day party for my mom, and the perfect locaiton, in my opinion, was Highway 61. I was so glad my choice proved to be loved by all!
Highway 61 was so accommodating to our party of 15, and my request to bring in a…More »

3. NAILSENSE
Today at Nailsense.....waxing, manicure, pedicure.
With the cold weather hitting the area hard, Shari M. decided to warm up her face, hands and toes with a trip to the s.p.a. The advertised Yelp deal drew her in, but the experience is what made her…More »

I have been to Vanessa Nails & Spa twice now. Once for a mani, and once for a pedi.
What drew me into the shop was how clean it looked. Upon further finger and toe investigation, this place is spotless. Even the bathroom is super clean.

6. AML Auto Service
Normally when I get my vehicle serviced, I don't do it - I get a dad/brother/boyfriend to take care of it for me. Yes, I am completely ignorant when it comes to vehicles.
I recently had to have an emission test done asap. I called the Gyro Mazda…More »

Toronto, ON M4S 2N2
(416) 488-2663
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville
Craving ice cream, but not heavy ice cream. Il Gelatiere checked off all my requisite boxes.
As I would bastardize in even trying to remember and write out the iced gem's actual name...I will just say that it was a creamy vanilla with chunks of dark…More »
8. Patisserie La Cigogne
Toronto, ON M4G 3B7
(416) 487-1234
This place still packs a punch.
On labour day, the choices were slim, but I was headed to La Cigogne specifically. I wanted some tourtiere. I was so glad when I saw the joint bursting at the seams with other patrons.
I managed to snag a table. French…More »

Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville
A Second Cup is a Second Cup. Not much differs between location. EXCEPT, for this one.
Hands down this has to be the cleanest, largest and quietest Second Cup location I have ever been to.
Along the Mt P strip, this Second Cup is nestled under…More »

12. The Olde Yorke Fish & Chips
I have to agree with fellow reviewers - this is the best fish and chips in Toronto that I have found.

Cinema
Neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant and Davisville, Yonge and Eglinton
The Mount Pleasant Theatre is a small, older theatre. I hate to do, but I comparred it to the Fox. It isn't a Fox Theatre, but it is a cute theatre. It reminds me of the time my dad took me to see the first Indiana Jones movie when I was a kid.

14. Pharma Plus
I am normally a die-hard Shoppers fan, so this is a biggie.
I stopped at this Pharma Plus on my way home from work recently and was super impressed. Not only is there free on site parking, but the store carries everything.

Still a fan of The Longest Yard. I feel the need to update to share more interesting facts about this spot:

A very cute little shop on one of my favourite streets.
Settled 2 doors down from Fabulous, Jules is a perfect little french oasis.
I stopped in for treats to take to work on Christmas Eve. Jules was quite hopping at 8 am. You could see a lot of…More »

Category:
Nail Salons
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville
As a fan of Fabulous across the street, and always looking for perfection and a lover of NYC, I was attracted to Madison Nails based on their goal of replicating the nail shops in NYC.
I had a 10 am Saturday appointment for face waxing and a…More »
21. Mountain Bean Coffee Co
This spot was a Second Cup. I don't ever recall a Second Cup closing, so I find it interesting that a CDN west coast coffee joint would set up shop at this location. I would be interested to find out why they chose this spot.
I am honestly not sure…More »

Category:
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville
I don't get the hype on this place. Decor - yep, it is nice, but there are too many tables in this place.
For such a great, friendly neighbourhood, I find that a lot of the clientele are snooty and uptight. The staff seem to be overworked and have…More »

Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville
After passing Originals a few times, and getting the impression that this spot was a bit out of place in the Leaside location, I wondered what it was like on the inside.
My usual take to a road house type of joint is the food is going to be meh.…More »

Category:

Passion Fruits is a great spot on Bayview that sells beautiful array of flowers, fruits and vegetables. During the warmer months, the outside display of plants and flowers lures people in. Once inside, their very neatly array of seasonal fruits and…More »

Saweet Jeahusus. This place has ruined me. Completely ruined me. They have set the bar so high for other bakeries, I am afraid that noone else will compare.
This cute store lured me in when I needed to pick up a sweet treat for my God Daughter.…More »

How many Petite Thuet locations does there need to be?! Apparently, 4.
