My 30-Day Yelp-athon
See All Lists
1. Inspire Yoga
I took a 60 minute hot fusion class with Justine. Inspire Yoga is a pretty new studio in a commercial district within Northern Mississauga. While the studio is well-designed with the necessities for a hot yoga studio; showers, large change-room, yoga…More »
2. Tangerine Asian Cuisine
Based on my experience with both lunch (4 stars) and dinner (2 stars), Tangerine continues to be a lunch time favourite of mine. Considering the food is about the same at dinner, save the portion sizes which are somehow doubled, I save my hakka…More »
3. Chino Locos
Toronto, ON M4L 2P4
(647) 345-5626
Categories:
Mexican,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
There comes a time in a Yelper's life where one wonders, 'Why on earth haven't I reviewed this place yet?' and I have that thought now about Chinos Locos.
These 'Crazy Chinese' owners have stolen my heart through their delicious AZN take on the…More »
4. Chipotle Mexican Grill
Toronto, ON M5B 1R7
(416) 596-8600
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: Ryerson, Downtown Core
I've had a change of heart about Chipotle. In the past month I've been eating gluten-free, so my choices are vastly reduced where it comes to the convenience of eating out (salad-free).
Chipotle is one of the few places that offers their regular…More »

Please tell me what is the big deal about Chipotle. I've been to two locations(not just for the… Read more »
5. Saravanaa Bhavan
The Saravanaa chain is pretty rad overall, IMHO, bringing traditional South Indian dosas to major cities in the world. This one needs more staff, though service and restaurant itself is still impressive.
I came here on a Saturday night expecting a…More »
6. Tom's Dairy Freeze
Etobicoke, ON M8Y 1K5
(416) 259-1846
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Etobicoke
Tom's Dairy Freeze is definitely a fun date in warm summer days. I get the love for this place. It's a clean, fun walk-up window with picnic tables and we just don't have enough of these places in Toronto. Venture into Michigan and places like Tom's…More »
7. Juice & Java Cafe and Catering
I visited Juice & Java by way of FabFind not long ago and I'm pleased with my experience. I adore that I have the option of getting work done with their wifi with a delicious crepe and a latte. I tried the brie & apple crepe (brie, bacon, apple…More »
8. Rajdhani Sweets & Restaurant
Like Singh A., I've got a pretty soft spot for this little Vegetarian dig in the seedy Albion-Islington nook.
Thali-style restaurants fill that falafel type of fast food niche where Indian cuisine is concerned. For $5.99 you get an assortment of…More »
9. Calabria Bakery
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 »
10. Dosa Palace
I came to Dosa Palace on the advice of yelpers, but I wasn't blown away like others with the Masala Dosa offering. Though Dosa Palace is not bad, there are about 50 of these types of restaurants in Scarborough. Maybe Mississauga just needs more…More »
11. Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu
Adding this to my 'I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet!' -list. This BCD location is much better than the Bloor St location since it's cleaner, closer (for me), less busy and therefore, less warm from amassed body heat and service is…More »
12. Topshop
Much like the effect of beer goggles Topshop has unfortunately revealed itself to be an inferior H&M in many ways*. The quality of clothing, accessories and makeup settles in between Forever 21 and H&M touting prices higher than Zara.
It seems like a…More »

Finally, Topshop made it in Canada.*
The British fast fashion retailer is going to have a huge effect… Read more »
13. Udupi Palace
This restaurant belongs in that "I can't believe I haven't yelped it yet" list. More like "Madras Dosa Hut" than "Saravanaa Bhavan", Udupi Palace fills the gap for a decent Masala Dosa in the little India neighbourhood*.
I appreciate the nod to…More »
14. Moksha Yoga Maple
This Moksha is a lot like others in many respects. I've taken a regular Moksha class and an Ashtanga class at MMaple and they were okay as a semi-regular Moksha student.
Though the customer service lacks in hospitality, the studio is immaculate and…More »
15. Madras Palace
I'm partial to Madras Palace as the one of the very first South Indian restaurants in East Toronto. I used to come here with my family as a child and it was pretty much the only place to get Dosa in the early '90s.
The interior hasn't changed at all…More »
16. Thai One On
Review on Take-out:
I've never frequented any of the other locations, so this was my first experience with them. Calling in was pretty painless and smooth; they got my order, Green Mango Salad and Basil Tofu and confirmed my name and gave me the time…More »
17. Bombay Palace
I can't believe I'm the first one to review this Brampton classic. I've been going to Bombay Palace rarely for the past 10 years or so for parties and dinners, and almost as a rule I've always been pleased with the spread.
During weekdays, Bombay…More »
18. Michaels
Richmond Hill, ON L4S 0B2
(905) 780-7717
Categories:
Art Supplies,
Cards & Stationery
I prefer this location over the Hwy 7 and Woodbine one by far. It's much more spacious, well lit and aisles are easy to navigate. Though it's very difficult to find someone to assist you, an easy walk over to a generally empty cash register will…More »
19. Sally Beauty Supply
Once again the Canadian equivalent of a US chain falls short of it's counterpart. It's not all bad though, and I'm satisfied to have an alternative to the main beauty stores. Though, this location doesn't have the Queen Helene's Mint Julep Masque…More »
20. Zara
Everyone, I'm sure, knows of Zara -that Spanish fashion chain that sources higher quality clothes than the usual suspects.
I'm a fan of the layout of this location because it's much easier to navigate and explore than the older, big box-style…More »
21. Guru Lukshmi - CLOSED
I came here tonight for a dinner as recommended by many of my Mississauga friends. I'm extremely excited with the excellent results.
GL is a nostalgia-inducing family run South Indian restaurant.
What was a gem I thought I discovered is actually a…More »
22. Toronto Pearson International Airport
As far as airports go there are definitely worse ones out there but for a large city airport, Pearson falls a little behind for travelers.
First of all, the transportation to and from the airport is laughable. Really? No direct subway connection? So…More »
23. Moksha Brampton
This Moksha location recently opened in the heart of Brampton. As far as chain yoga locations go, it's one of the better ones in GTA. It's new so that could be a reason for the 'freshness' but staff here seems to be really passionate about the…More »
24. Yelp Masquerade at Bar Vespa
One of the best elite events evarrr!
I had a blast decorating my mask and I look forward themed events that require some creativity.
I mean who doesn't love more work?!
Okay, so it was hard to find Bar Vespa. Thanks a lot Google Maps! I hate you.
The…More »
25. Rajdhani Sweets
I came here for a visit today not knowing this location is also owned by the same owners of the Etobicoke location (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...).
While the variety in the meal offering is pretty much the same (all vegetarian), this location is much…More »
26. Judge Motors
I've been bringing my car here for the past year or so for oil changes. It's pretty much a one-man operation though he has someone helping him.
Appointments are available fairly quickly though there is no waiting room so either walk to Loblaws on…More »
27. American Apparel
Vaughan, ON L4K 5W4
(905) 760-9111
Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Men's Clothing
Though AA makes their stores very uniform, there are far better AA locations in the GTA.
Employees are absent, I think in the back somewhere watching the next episode of Walking Dead or something, training to be zombies. When I was finally approached…More »
28. Candy's Costume Shop
Toronto, ON M4S 2M4
(416) 487-5794
Category:
Costumes
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville
Like Charlotte, I visited Candy's to buy a mask for the Elite Masquerade event*. The store has an amazing selection for costumes and all of the related accessories.
I perused the store to notice their assortment of costume makeup (Ben Nye theatrical…More »
29. Family Shawarma & Falafel
Toronto, ON M1T 3J7
(416) 496-8010
Categories:
Middle Eastern,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
I discovered this place through a recommendation made by a friend. It's in an unassuming strip mall located across Le Cafe Michi in Scarborough.
Family Shawarma does pretty well because of their meat and prices. I haven't tried the falafel sandwiches…More »
30. Holt Renfrew
Toronto, ON M4W 3L8
(416) 922-2333
Category:
Department Stores
Neighbourhoods: Yorkville, Downtown Core
Like any other area of Yorkville I avoid this location during TIFF unless I want the tourist experience of celeb-spotting.
Yet, this Holt's location has the. best. cosmetics and perfume section ever. Staff is attentive and walk through the variety of…More »
