1. Grinder
If you like tuna like I like tuna STOP everything and run *scratch that* SPRINT to Grinder for their incredibly genius tuna sandwich.
Soggy or stale bread is in my opinion a sandwich cardinal sin!
So I was reluctant to try this tuna sandwich…More »
2. Teatree Cafe and Eatery
Toronto, ON M4J 1L8
(416) 901-9089
Categories:
Gluten-Free,
Vegan,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhoods: The Danforth, Greektown
This place is seriously cute and Erin the owner is simply delightful. She makes everything pretty much from scratch gluten-free and vegetarian or vegan friendly. Everything is about $7 and includes a soup or salad.
My TOMATO MELT on RYE with avocado,…More »
3. Gull & Firkin
After a tiring afternoon of beach volleyball, my friends and I decided to go to the Gull & Firkin. I assumed there was no way we'd get a spot on the patio given that it was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and well over 30 degrees.
I asked the waitress…More »

Categories:
Women's Clothing,

I first met shop owner Nathalie-Roze when she organized a Haitian relief designer rummage sale. A mutual friend told me about the event and I was able to volunteer in the amazing fundraiser (we raised over 13k for the Canadian Red Cross). As a…More »

The decision to de-fuzz my hot-pocket was an easy one... actually going through with it is a different story! Since I am now a pro at having these done on a regular basis, I thought I'd share the experience with other curious but nervous wooly…More »

6. Damzels In This Dress
By now any of you who have met me in the flesh know that I mostly wear skirts and dresss... that being said I am a HUGE fan of this store.
I happen to be in the area for the Leslieville STOMP and recalled bookmarking this store; I stopped by with…More »
7. Halo Body Art
I had been flirting with the idea of getting a tattoo for years and after a few months of saving up I was finally ready to begin my quest to find a tattoo artist. Unlike most I knew exactly what I wanted and where...but since my piece so so big and…More »

Toronto, ON M4M 1J8
(416) 462-0062
Categories:
Drugstores,
Cosmetics & Beauty Supply
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
So the renovations are finally done and I have to say this place has done a total 360. There is a huge grocery area, cosmetic section and brightly lit aisles.
For some reason they are still missing some pretty crucial cosmetic brands such as…More »

9. Starbucks Coffee Company
Toronto, ON M4J 1L7
(416) 461-3771
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: The Danforth, Greektown, Riverdale
When it comes to mass produced coffee I prefer Starbucks to Timmies any day! The coffee itself deserves 3 stars but this location in particular deserves an extra star for its amazing staff.
They are always super nice even when they have lineup out…More »
10. Merchants of Green Coffee
I really really wished this place was near me, but alas it's quite the hikes away from Etobicoke (but worth it)! I was visiting my friend in Corktown and helping her through a little life hiccup when she suggested we go for coffee.
She suggested…More »
11. Mercury Espresso Bar
Today I had quite possibly the best Latte I have ever had. The foam was rich and flavourful, the base was strong but tasty and at about $3.
The WiFi was quick and reliable; you just need to ask the barista for the password and your set. I loved that…More »
12. Circus Books and Music
Toronto, ON M4J
(416) 925-6116
Categories:
Bookstores,
Vinyl Records
Neighbourhoods: The Danforth, Greektown, Riverdale
Definitely my favourite local bookstore... I am here pretty much once a week!
They have a great selection of books on music, pop culture, and fiction and the prices are excellent. They also carry a good mix of DVDs, CDs and Vinyl.
13. The Burrito House
Toronto, ON M4J
(647) 436-5099
I was feeling a bit peckish and needed a hardy meal stat.
I am not sure why I took my friend's advise on The Burrito House considering my last altercation with him and food {1}, but something told me to give this place a shot... and I am glad I did.

14. Pape/Danforth Library
Toronto, ON M4K 3S6
(416) 393-7727
Category:
Libraries
Neighbourhoods: Greektown, Riverdale
Similar to Irene E. this library is generally my pick-up and drop off location. The space is small and there is not much room for studying although there is a large table upstairs that can be used for laptops.
Downstairs there is a cozy spot for…More »
15. Donlands Subway Station
It's not a bad station per se but definitely not as good as some if its westbound competition...
The Good:
- No frills type convenience store downstairs
- Right next to the One in the Only coffee shop
- Busses are frequent
The Bad:
- No ATM
- No Metro Pass/…More »
16. The Only Cafe
So this is where my mom threw away all my shit from my childhood! I thought this place was adorable. I was wandering the Danforth and wanted to grab a coffee somewhere.
I ordered a large latte and it was LARGE (the barista handed us our lattes in a…More »
17. T & T Supermarket
Note sure what to say that hasn't already been said by my fellow Yelpers... let's than talk about what I bought and what I wanted to buy:
- Coconut ice bars are fantastic... I wonder how cheese flavoured ice cream taste (maybe next time).
- Seaweed…More »

I like the cozy front parlour in this place, it seems so nice and inviting and the staff here is usually very nice.
I do love the atmosphere here and I wish I could give this place 4 stars but the truth is I personally find their selection of books a…More »
19. Loblaws Supermarkets Limited
I like this Loblaw.
They have a relatively small prepared food section but the staff is always nice and friendly.
I wish they had more parking available because the parking lot is usually packed and I end up having to park up the street at the other…More »

Breakfast & Brunch

Stopped in for lunch and expected to be blown away by the promise of delicious panini. I ordered the Italian panini with a side salad and a latte. My panini was mediocre but my friend ordered the Greek panini which was much tastier. I liked the…More »

Women's Clothing,

Neighbourhood: Leslieville
It's not been said, so I am going to say it: I did not find this place thrilling nor did I find anything!"
I will echo Danielle P.'s mothball concern because this place smelt like it. Also the racks were pretty bare, the items overpriced and sadly…More »
22. GoodLife Fitness
I am not a fan of this location.
When you walk in you are hit with a pretty fowl smell similar to kitty litter which I assume is a mix of sweat and B.O. from the cardio machines all lined up in the entrance.
The hours aren't great and the change rooms…More »
23. Obama Café

Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: The Danforth
I wanted to give my mom her Obama themed mother's day gift (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) at an Obama themed cafe. I trekked it all the way from Etobicoke to this place only to find it inexplicably closed.
The sign in the window fully says open, and I am…More »
24. Velvet...Fine Food
There are many reasons why this place deserves a 2.5 star rating:
-The name for this place is puzzling given that it's a crappy dive bar... is that why there is a question mark?!
- The poutine has shredded cheese in it
- The gravy was dare I say bland
-…More »

Neighbourhood: Riverdale
I wish I could share Avitania B.'s Groupon enthusiasm because I found this place a big let down. I too had a $50 Groupon here and was really excited to give it a try.
At first I was concerned that this place may be too fancy and romantic for a casual…More »
26. Bar10der
The very fact that this place has a five star review makes me shiver. I should say that I did not try the nachos which apparently earned them such an accolade but I doubt they would have made up for the mess that is this place.
Let's start with the…More »
27. India Kitchen
Oh man this place was a total disappointment.
I was at a friend's house and we were both in the mood for some Indian food. He mentioned he had tried Indian Kitchen and they were really good and to my surprised they were open until 10pm 7 days a week.
I…More »

There are certain foods I used to think are impossible to fuck up and quesadilla are on that list... well ladies and gentlemen I present to you fucked up quesadillas!
It sounded like a typical chicken quesadilla so I took the bait.

This place was literally just ok.
I ordered a mimosa to kick-start my morning and appreciated that the OJ and the bubbly was delivered separately so I could mix my own (and yes I was tempted to forgo the OJ all together and suck down my small bottle…More »

Eyelash Service

Everyone knows that length and girth are desired by all women... for their eyelashes, and frankly I am no different. Oh how I long for full, long luscious lashes that make people stop in their tracks and say "DAMN THAT CHICK HAS SOME AWESOME EYES!"

I rather enjoy this Dominos. All of the staff I have ever encountered are super nice and surprisingly helpful by suggesting cheap combos to make my order cheaper. No eye rolling happens here when I sub marinara sauce for ranch and their service is…More »

*Insert rocket Onomonopia* The first time I went to Red Rocket I swear I thought the barrista sneezed in my latte. After a few visits, I realized that the uber hipster behind the counter was not releasing mucus into my $4 drink but in fact handing it…More »
34. Taste of Danforth
I think taste of mediocre is a better description for this annual letdown.
A few years ago when I lived in Etobicoke, I went to the taste of Danforth and had a blast. This year since I live in Greektown I vowed to go once again and bring mom and dad…More »
35. Lakay Caribbean Restaurant
I should start by saying that Lakay is Toronto's only Haitian restaurant... and it's not your typical "Caribbean" eatery. I grew up eating Haitian food my entire life and as far as I am concerned they deliver. This is my soul food and I can't help…More »
