So, first order of business: a disclaimer, I am one of those people who are easy to please. It doesn't take much for me to have a favourable opinion of you, provided of course you have good manners. Seriously!

So how can you - and by you, I mean me -…More »

Ok, so the food here is as fabulous as most of the reviews have been raving about. I ordered the rainbow trout that came with scalloped potatoes, beet bulbs and chard... the fillet was cooked perfectly, flaky and moist and the potatoes... I mean,…More »

There were 7 of us, caught in the Sunday afternoon rain, looking for a nice cozy cafe to get warm drinks and dry off. We had spent the day a Foodstock, so we decided to check out Orangeville downtown, and came across Mochaberry - a true gem of a…More »

I LOVE this place - been coming here for years, way before the secret got out and it went so mainstream :) This is my family's go-to shawarma place. Plus, they're also the only place I've found outside of Kuwait that does a great cheese manakeesh.

Hands down, the best roasted marshmallow ice cream EVER :)  They are incredibly generous with their portions too. I usually get the smallest size, and I can barely ever finish it. Although, to be honest, there is no such thing as too much ice cream,…More »

Ever since moving back to Mississauga, I've been missing my go-to-cafe back in California. This Second Cup location, right in the heart of Streetsville, is pretty close to perfect:
* Great ambiance - the location of the store has a small town feel…More »

In the mood for some fish and chips for lunch one day, my friend suggested this place and we went to get our fix. The shop did not disappoint: the place has a very old neighbourhood shop feel, if you know what I mean. Like, the owners have been…More »

I like coming to this Starbucks location from time to time to get some work done. I like the fact that there are so many windows, and that most of the tables are by them.

The staff are really friendly and chill, and the coffee strong and fresh.…More »

I love their sandwiches, although I know what some of the reviewers mean about it not being authentic per se. Still it tastes really good, so it's definitely worth a trip every now and then :)

My first DimSum restaurant in Toronto, and I was definitely not disappointed. I loved their shrimp dumplings, snow pea leaves, rice roll with crispy donut, their green beans with pork and chicken & mushroom steamed buns the most. We ordered a lot of…More »
