Category: Coffee & Tea

Neighbourhood: Kensington Market

4.0 star rating
  Update - 10/23/2010

I really appreciate that this place is open until 1am. As I write this, this place is filled with like-minded nerds bathed in the glow of their laptop screens. Like the intermittent Internet connection in this place, the coffee is mediocre at best,…More »

    I walked into this coffeeshop on a weekday afternoon to enjoy some reading.  Instead, I spent most… Read more »

  Update - 1/18/2011

A few notes from my last visit at lunch. Nothing really went right. My fountain pop was flat and tasteless and a replacement was served warm with a sliver of ice in it (running low, guys?).  

I started off with a house salad which was hair-pullingly…More »

Neighbourhood: Niagara

4.0 star rating
  Update - 11/7/2011

I returned to find that The Counter is no longer and the Thompson Diner stands in its place. The difference? Not a thing. The restaurant looks, feels and definitely tastes the same as before, though I can safely say my experience was a bit better…More »

    It's never good to drink on an empty stomach, so I ended up here late last night doing the opposite:… Read more »

We arrived on a Friday night around 10pm, after other options for a late-night snack proved fruitless. There's not a lot of eats in this district, so I was happy to hear the clamour of diners when I stepped inside. Me and my DC grabbed a two-top.

Like a worm in a bottle of mescal Tequila Bookworm is just there. Idly floating at the corner of Queen West and Portland. You're not really sure what to think when you walk into this place. It's a coffeeshop but they're licensed, so it's a bit of a…More »

 6. King Palace

Canada
(416) 515-8188

Categories: Indian, Pakistani

4.0 star rating
  Update - 1/1/2012

Just a quick update to advise against the combos listed on the wall. While they're a good value --hovering around the $10-13 mark for two or three items-- throwing them all in the same container is a disaster. By the time we got home our chili…More »

The Lakeview is a 24-hour diner at Dundas and Ossington. They serve all day breakfast, brunch from 9-5, sandwiches, burgers and confusingly inexpensive cocktails. Though you might be tempted to sample their 2007 Flat Rock Reisling (you won't really),…More »

There's late and then there is Past Late (which comes right after Pretty Late). And it's only past Past Late that you show up to joints like Xe Lua.

I visited here for the first time after the Yelp Magic 8 Ball with a group of hardcore night owls all…More »

It was half past midnight on Friday night. I was catching some nocturnal rays from the glow of my laptop screen. Yelping. That's when my stomach started talking, and it wasn't to chat. It was saying, listen up bub, and not in a friendly way. I'd…More »

If I was ever diagnosed with a sodium deficiency, I'd high-tail it to Canton Chili. I imagine it would only take me a few bites before my levels would be restored. A few more bites I'd be suffering Lot's fate; turning into a pillar of salt from the…More »
