Best souvlaki on the Danforth, HANDS DOWN. You can't beat this ridiculously delicious meat that is always juicy and spiced to perfection.

Asteria is the best place to go for a no-fuss meal that is super yummy. The place is family-run and there's…More »

Broadview Espresso is my new favourite place to work - well, that is, when I don't need the internet to get said work done. As others have mentioned, this little café does NOT have wifi. From what I've heard, it was apparently a decision made by the…More »

I am currently sitting in The One in the Only, the coffee shop attached to The Only Cafe on the Danforth at Donlands. This is my first time here and I'm already taking time out of my cover letter writing activities to review this place. Because it is…More »

Delicious and cheap. What more can you possibly want?

I went to Square Boy tonight on one of my many repeat visits since I was first taken there by a friend in September '08. As always, it was yummy, affordable, and I walked away crazy full.

As others…More »

The most delicious bread in the city is made in this bakery. From their most basic $1.50 crusty loaves to their fancy-shmancy $8.00 sweet breads (trust me, it is SO worth the splurge), I haven't met a bread product from this place that I didn't love.…More »

Finally got to try out the newly opened Dough Bakeshop last week and it was definitely everything I wanted it to be and more!

To make our first visit a well-rounded one, my roommate and I bought a variety of goodies: a loaf of brown bran bread, a pair…More »

El Pipil is one of many clothing/gift stores along the Danforth between Pape and Broadview. Trust me: walk along there and you will encounter MANY shops that seem pretty much just like this one. Leaving aside its similarities to its neighbours, El…More »

Wow, only one review and a pretty negative one at that!

I personally love Pulp, but then I love cute little card shops. :) The card selection at this particular shop is super unique though -- you're sure to find the perfect card for even the quirkiest…More »

Where I go to get my cupcake fix! (6)

This list features the places I go when I'm in dire need of a cupcake. Which is, like, every single day. Some of these shops are better than others for satisfying my craving, but when I really need that delicious combo of icing and cake in an individually sized cake, I'll take any of these, please and thank you! :)

(Still to be added to the list when I find time to write up their reviews: The Sweet Escape Patisserie, Wanda's Pie in the Sky, The Cake Box)
