Admittedly, I've never had their evening menu but as far as I'm concerned the day begins and ends with their brunch.

A delightful atmosphere that has an odd calming affect when you walk through the door - particularly if you are seated upstairs which…More »

Woodbine and Danforth - Yup, it's worth visiting... (8)

It might not be a neighbourhood that's bursting with trendy retail flavour but it still has a lot to offer.

Surprise Finds (7)

More specifically (since the title only allowed a max. length of 64 characters), "Places I Would Never Think I'd Find Myself In Let Alone Giving It a Great Review".

The Great Dessert Seduction (9)

Places to get your sweet on.

[Warning: one place mentioned on this list is located in Thunder Bay, ON]

Cup O'Cake (5)

The idea of this list is to [hopefully] expand it as I discover more list-worthy cupcakes since I don't normally go out and buy them. But I need to provide a brief explanation for Sweet Tooth. It's the Chocolate Raspberry cupcake alone that earned its spot. So moist and delicious and imagine if I went when they were fresh!

If You Took Me To These Places, I Might Make Out With You (9)

The title says it all...

Why I Miss Living Closer to the Beach Area (4)

Once upon a time, I lived in an area that straddled Leslieville and the Beach, perhaps leaning more toward the Beach. And though I don't live THAT far from these places, here is a list of places my Sunday bike rides or strolls miss...
