1. Silly Goose Kids
Toronto, ON M4C 1J6
(647) 341-4400
Category:
Toy Stores
Neighbourhood: The Danforth
News was buzzing around my mom group about this new baby toy store on the east Danforth that was supposed to be really cool, so on an outing I decided to check it out with a mom friend.
Silly Goose Kids is smart for a couple of reasons:
1) Its run by…More »
2. Sophie Mon Petit Cafe - CLOSED
What I like to do on Monday's with my mommy friend is ruin our awesome class of yoga with some counter productive food. So we decided to try out Sophie since we both had passed it a few times but had never gone in.
The cafe is cute and minimalist -…More »
3. Bumbleberry Kids
Toronto, ON M4L 1H5
(416) 691-5556
Category:
Baby Gear & Furniture
Neighbourhood: The Beach
I decided to check out this place today based on the other reviews and because I skipped it last time I was in the beaches assuming it was another overpriced kids clothing store. Man was I pleasantly surprised!
Not only are the prices fantastic, the…More »
4. Danforth Pizza House
This will be quick since there's not too much to add over my fellow Yelpers - just some quick tips:
1) Bring cash - their register is from the stone age and debit/credit card machines were no where in sight. The prices are flat rate though - $20 for a…More »
5. Massey Centre
East York, ON M4K 2S5
(416) 425-6348
Category:
Child Care & Day Care
Neighbourhood: East York
I was excited to check out this Ontario Early Years Center with Kai and I figured it was pretty exclusive since I had to register a week in advance because the coordinator insisted that the spots fill up fast - and of course I believed her, its a…More »
6. Treasure Island Toys
Toronto, ON M4K 1P9
(416) 778-4913
Category:
Toy Stores
Neighbourhoods: Greektown, Riverdale
I popped into Treasure Toys yesterday for the first time to buy my son some ridiculous baby sunglasses that wrap around the back of his head. Have you ever seen a baby with sunglasses on!? They're ridiculous!!!!
I thought this place was just another…More »
7. Congee Queen
WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER.
Seriously this is the second time in a row that I've been to this Congee Queen location and have been completely ignored. The first time I thought it was the non-Asian factor as I went with my very Caucasian mother. But…More »
8. Lil' bean n' green
This cute little shop in Leslieville is a perfect hang out for mom's and dad's on parental leave with their kids.
In the mornings they have circle time where you can bring the young ones in for some singing, playtime and a chance to network with…More »
9. Teatree Cafe and Eatery
Toronto, ON M4J 1L8

Neighbourhoods: The Danforth, Greektown
I've been to the Teatree Cafe three times now, each time trying one of their different sandwiches.
Grilled brie on oatmeal raisin bread with honey baked apples - my favorite of the three - just the right amount of melt and crunch, super tasty
Chunky…More »
10. Ten Feet Tall - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M4J 1N2
(416) 778-7333
Categories:
Music Venues,
Cafes
Neighbourhood: The Danforth
I decided to check this place out because I heard it was pretty kid friendly and had decent food. My friend was pretty upset the weekend before when she dragged out her two kids on a Sunday for some eats and was turned away at 6:30 for closing but I…More »
11. Juice & Java Cafe and Catering
This was my Friday stop for mom group, and although navigating the narrow stairs to the upper deck with a stroller (make sure you have a mom buddy!) was tricky, the atmosphere is cool enough that I didn't seem to mind.
The menu is quite extensive…More »
12. Three's Company Too - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M4J 1N1
(416) 406-3233
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: The Danforth
This place is great! It's quickly becoming my favorite stop after my Wednesday or Friday mom group. However it took me about 3 years to realize it was there since its pretty easy to miss when you walk by.
There isn't much seating though and you have…More »
13. Superb Nail Spa
Toronto, ON M4J 1L9
(416) 850-1077
Category:
Nail Salons
Neighbourhood: The Danforth
I never thought that I would find my favorite nail salon right around the corner. Now, I'm fairly snobby with my nails since I do run a nail polish blog and I know the difference between a shoddy pedi and a good one. I've never been disappointed with…More »
14. Danforth/Coxwell Library
The library itself is small but because of that its a little unpopular and there is not a lot of competition for seating or computers.
I mostly frequented this library for its Baby Time program for encouraging literacy for kids 0-6mo. The program…More »
15. Hipo Clothing - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M4E 1E9
(416) 840-2599
Category:
Baby Gear & Furniture
Neighbourhood: The Beach
I'm really sorry to say that HipO has closed and left a big void in my cheap baby clothes desires.
However, if you're looking for another kid consignment store in the Beaches that is equally awesome I'd hit Bumbleberry kids!

Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: The Danforth, Greektown, Riverdale
Motorama was one of those places that I kept passing by saying "yea I'll totally check out that place next time!" but I just never did. So after 3 years of walk-by's I finally decided to check this place out with my friend. We hit it before 11am so…More »

Toronto, ON M4M 1K2
(416) 465-4141
Categories:
Baby Gear & Furniture,
Toy Stores,
Children's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
Maybe I'm just not that type of mom. You know, the type that only wraps her child in organic muslin diapers that have been hand bleached and dipped in hipster sweat or something.
Baby on the Hip is what it is - a baby store in the heart of…More »
18. Ages & Stages
Ages and Stages is one of those places that if you don't have a kid you kind of just pass by without even noticing it. When I was on one of my stroller walks I passed by it and then slowly backed up staring through the window which is crammed with…More »

My Friday Mom group decided to convene this time at the Cozy Cafe & Bakery.

20. Celena's Bakery
So after my Friday mom group I heard that there was a new cafe that all the moms frequent after wards so my friends and I headed over there strollers in tow.
First of all why this is a hot spot for moms is beyond me since there is hardly anywhere to…More »

Toronto, ON M4K 3V7
(647) 342-3539
Categories:
Music Venues,
Cafes
Neighbourhood: East York
My mom friend and I stumbled across this cafe on Pape after yoga class and thought we'd hit it up for a drink - I mean it looks like a little hip cafe in upper Danforth so what could go wrong?
This place is not a cafe. Sure they had green tea (why is…More »
22. East Lynn Farmers Market
East Lynn Park has to be one of the best places for a farmers market. Why? Because in the summer it has one of the best and most coveted splash pads in the area that tons of organic lovin' mom's flock towards with their kidlets. That being said, its…More »

I never had a cannoli until I went to North Pole with a fellow mom-friend. WHERE HAVE CANNOLI'S BEEN ALL MY LIFE????
I want to fill a bathtub with them and bathe in their creamy goodness.
My mom-friend says that they have the best she's had, and I'm…More »
