Great all-around café. Warm, student-friendly atmosphere invites you to stay a while. East-facing patio is great a great place for a beer (or two or three) in the summer. Cakes are top notch also; they sell out quickly so grab your favourite slice…More »

Sweet mercy, Wanda's is closing in on me. After successfully thwarting their aromatic attacks every time I walked past of one their three ridiculously proximate locations on Yonge Street, they went and opened a spot a mere waffle's throw from my…More »

Decorated in the popular gay/Kubrickian motif, Blushberry is bringing the trendy SoCalFroYo fad downtown. The innovative flavours and toppings are delightful; the servers even let us try samples. Being boring, I stuck with plain yogurt and almonds.…More »

"You are now a regular at Menchie's Frozen Yogurt." If there was a "Tub-o-Lard" badge on the Yelp app, I surely would have earned it, this weekend. I hope they don't start recognizing me there. (Whatever, I'll run it off.)

I stopped in here after an evening a romantic evening La Coquine. So impressive that this place is open until 11pm on weeknights, which makes it a perfect post-dinner stop.

The staff is real friendly at Yoyo's Yogurt Cafe. Unlike their competitors down the street -- where you're pretty much on your own -- at Yoyo's you are greeted as you as soon as you walk in. On my first visit a kindly staffer walked me through the…More »
When Krispy Kreme first hit the Canadian donut scene, my friends and I went bonkers. At that point in our lives, our primary pastime was driving to coffeeshops and eating donuts there. So when the double K hit the Heartland, it was like the opening…More »
