The Best & Worst of The Beach(es)!
See All Lists
1. Life is Sweet
Toronto, ON M4E 1G9
Canada
(416) 698-0555
Lemon cupcake with lemon curd filling.
Best cupcake I've ever had in my life.
Worth the trip to The Beach.

10 Things I Love About Pie Shack!
1) The hours are phenomenal. 11am-11pm every day - this alone ranks it high on my favourite places list, as you all know how I feel about cafes that close early.
2) Free, reliable wi-fi. Stay as long as you like - no…More »
3. Carload On The Beach
Toronto, ON M4L 1J4
Canada
(647) 345-9282
Categories:
Fruits & Veggies,
Grocery
Neighbourhood: The Beach
When I was riding by on the Queen streetcar and saw Carload's signature yellow and red signage I literally lept out of my seat and instructed the driver to let me off immediately. Could it be?? A duplicate of Carload in Bloor West Village (…More »

Category:
Kitchen & Bath
Neighbourhood: The Beach
I couldn't possibly love/stock/praise this store more than I already do.
You may not actually need anything in here, but you will covet everything. Every possible practical kitchen, bathroom or storage gadget you can think of, they'll have, and it's…More »

5. Quigley's - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M4E 1E9
Canada
(416) 699-9998
Categories:
Pubs,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: The Beach
I'd award four stars to Quigley's just for playing the GOOD version of Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" - the extended version that outros with a cover of The Supremes' "Where Did Our Love Go". But thankfully, the food and service were equally four…More »
6. Beacher Cafe
Toronto, ON M4E 1E4
Canada
(416) 699-3874
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: The Beach
My Saturday morning craving for Eggs Florentine got me on the horn with Abby "I miss runny eggs and hard liquor" R, who was happy to indulge me in a last minute jaunt to this Queen East establishment.
The decor is pure Valhalla Inn circa 1983,…More »
7. Hooper's Pharmacy
Toronto, ON M4E 1E3
Canada
(416) 699-3747
Categories:
Health Food Store,
Drugstores
Neighbourhood: The Beach
Hooper's in The Beach looks like it's been around for a century, but it stocks modern supplements. I expected it to be a stuffy, nursing home-esque pharmacy but they actually surprised me with their shelves of current fad drugs and tinctures.
They…More »
8. Beachside Grill
Toronto, ON M4L 1H5
Canada
(416) 686-7153
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Diners,
Burgers
Neighbourhood: The Beach
Standard breakfast in The Beach(es)! If you like your eggs firm or anything more than runny, make sure to ask because the standard is on the raw side.
It's just like Sunset Grill, down to the near immediate post-meal indigestion (…More »
9. Cafe Florentin - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M4L 1J3
Canada
(647) 341-2936
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: The Beach
The hours are dynamite (7am-10pm daily - I can't think of a single Toronto cafe, not even Starbucks, that is open that consistently) and the baked goods are smashing (I tried a mini lemon tart and linzer cookie - $0.55 each). The chairs are crazy…More »
10. Lick's Homeburgers & Ice Cream
Toronto, ON M4L 1H8
Canada
(416) 691-2305
Categories:
Burgers,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: The Beach
A Lick's is a Lick's is a Lick's. Or is it? I've only ever been to Express locations and as far as I know this is the only full service location in Toronto. A quick jaunt from Ashbridges Bay, this Lick's location has all the fixin's...the wild and…More »
11. Remarkable Bean
Toronto, ON M4E 1G2
Canada
(416) 690-2420
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: The Beach
People mis- and overuse a lot of adjectives - among them, amazing, incredible, and remarkable. The actual definition of remarkable is: "unusual or striking; "noteworthy or worthy of notice". Remarkable Bean, while a decent shop that makes a quality…More »
12. Beaches Wholesome Food Store
Toronto, ON M4E 1G2
Canada
(416) 690-9500
Categories:
Health Food Store,
Grocery
Neighbourhood: The Beach
I'm scratching my head wondering how this place stays in business.
While it is well organized, very clean and spacious for such a small space, the prices are ludicrous. Between two and THREE times as expensive as any other health food store I've been…More »

Bull in a china shop alert!
I've never seen a more cramped and cluttered store in my life, and I shop for vintage and antiques like it's my job. I knocked over two separate embroidered silk flower arrangements ** in my ten minute visit, and I'm not…More »

Canadian (New)
Neighbourhood: The Beach
I have never been more east than this, other than when driving on the 401 to get the fuck out of the city for a weekend. This is about as far as you can go along Queen Street East before Scarborough.
My meal was absolutely five stars. If you can…More »
15. Lion On the Beach
Perhaps checking out Lion On The Beach for the first time on a day I'm surrounded by people I hate** wasn't the greatest of ideas, but the glowing reviews reeled me in.
The menu here is ample and there's lots to choose from, including an all-day…More »

Canada

Category:
Post Offices
Neighbourhood: The Beach
Thank goodness for Abby "I know everything about the Beach(es)" R's review, otherwise I never would have tracked down an open post office in the east end.
This is indeed a hidden, barely-visible-from-the-street post office. It's not IN the Shoppers,…More »
17. Gull & Firkin
The food here was shockingly good. My grilled cheese with fries (only $8.95) was scrumptious - the aged cheddar, Monterey Jack and Swiss cheeses were deadly sharp and perfectly melted. This is not for fans of dull, processed cheese - this cheese has…More »
