Finally made my way to High Park this past week and loved it. I didn't have a plan of which trail/path so my friend and I just roamed around. It's a lot larger & has a more variety than I expected (was just expecting paths & grass).…More »

*3.5 star review*
This place is packed with a ton of cooking related items considering it's not a very large store.
They have a great selection of cooking books along with other genres. I found Norman Doidge's book How the Brain Changes Itself on the…More »

Decided to finally check out High Park (long overdue!) so I met my friend here since I've heard great things about it.
This place has a great homey and cute feel to it with its light green walls, milk bottle vases & white painted tables…More »

The space is great with plenty of seating. There's a long communal table in the front, a few four-seaters in the back along with another communal table. There's an patio in the back but the space isn't open...yet (waiting for the…More »

My latte was good - milk was velvety but thought it tasted a bit too milky so it overwhelmed the espresso. The rosetta leaf the barista made was probably the best I've seen here and in Vancouver. It's a shame when I have to cover it with…More »

Impromptu bowling never been so fun. my friends and I decided to try it out since there were lanes available and had nothing else planned for the evening. It was pretty expensive at $50/hr with shoe rentals at $5 though I had a great…More »

So this is my 3.5 star review of their Afternoon Tea. My friend and I had a great time here but unlike other Yelpers we only had the option of sitting outside the restaurant. It's not that bad but being in the lobby with hotel guests walking about…More »

I made reservations for 7pm on a week day but still had to wait about 20 minutes until a table was cleared. No biggie. This place was packed so the 20 minute wait didn't seem that bad.
The place itself is very unassuming on the outside -…More »

I never noticed this place before since it's tucked away in a plaza on Markham Main Street. Thanks to Yelp, I found it when I was craving Thai and didn't want to go far from my home.
My friend and I started off with the shrimp chips that…More »

This is my go to place when my friends and I are craving crepes/waffles when in Little Italy. Prices are reasonable- I think it was roughly $8 for a waffle and $7 for a crepe and the portions are large. There's a wide selection of…More »

I came here with a few people for dinner on a week day. It was only about half full so we were seated pretty quickly. The chef used to be a chef at Google who decided to open up his own place.
I had the dinner combo (not too sure if…More »

I came here for a Sunday brunch with a bunch of people and they staff here was nice enough to accommodate separate bills for each of us.
They have a number of sweet and savoury crepes.

This place caught my eye when I drove by so I made it a point to go here when I could. It's a very hip cafe considering it's in a small town, which is fantastic and it opens late. There's plenty of seating and also an actual bar serving…More »

Decided to drop in for their award winning chowder since I was in the area. I was going solo so I sat by the bar. The waitress/bartender was nice and provided prompt service.
Of course, I had to order their New England chowder which came…More »

I prefer this location than the one on Middlefield. It's much quieter so you're almost guaranteed a table and there are actual working outlets to plug in your laptop if needed.
I've come here a couple of times and had their green tea…More »

I was reluctant to come to this place since my husband came a few years ago and didn't like it. However, since I had my Pago credit to use, I figured I'd give this place a try to really see how this place is.

Granted this place is nice given that the area is a bit grungy so it gets points for that but I found that the cappuccino and the coffee on the burnt/bitter side. I was disappointed and didn't finish my cappuccino.
However, my cheese…More »

This place is a cute neighbourhood spot with a large patio (too bad it was cold and rainy the day I went). I found it a bit odd that their sale sign and coffee beans blocks their view from customers coming into the cafe - you have…More »
This place is pretty good if you're looking for lunch or just a place to hang out for a bit. They have soups, salads and sandwiches for those looking for something more substantial but if you're looking for a something sweet pastries like danishes,…More »
