Yorkville and You
See All Lists
1. Toronto Reference Library
The Toronto Reference Library (TRL for the hepcats) is the grand poobah of this town's free book rental emporiums. The monstrous edifice is located just north of Yonge and Bloor. There are five floors where endless stacks of books, tables and study…More »
2. One Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5R 1C2
Canada
(416) 961-9600
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhood: Yorkville
"It's hard not to feel that many of the previous reviewers were less reviewing the restaurant than reviewing expensive restaurants as a class or expressing their own class antagonisms." Warren L.
This is the first time I've started a review with an…More »
3. Crêpes à GoGo
Toronto, ON M4W 3Y8
Canada
(416) 922-6765
Damn, this place is French y'all. It took me back to my time in Paris, when every one of my actions felt like an unwarranted intrusion upon a more sophisticated culture. Crepes a Gogo is about crêpes crafted with love and care by the owner, who is…More »
4. Crema Coffee Co.
Toronto, ON M4W 1A9
Canada
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Weird café crammed inside a Freshii. The actual coffeeshop is the size of two phonebooths, so customers wanting to stay must sit in Freshii, which isn't much bigger, but comfortable enough. I actually found an outlet for my laptop, which I wasn't…More »
5. Yorkville Library
Toronto, ON M4W 1L4
Canada
(416) 393-7660
Category:
Libraries
Neighbourhood: Yorkville
Yorkville has a rich history of dudes tossing money around. In 1903, the Chief Librarian in Toronto wrote to Andrew Carnegie (yes, that one) about an endowment. Being the consummate philanthropist, Carnegie flipped a cool $350 grand northward and the…More »
6. King Palace
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 »

7. Seven Grams
This literally cool café in Yorkville was a delight on Toronto's first scorching summer day. Located just south of Davenport on Avenue Rd, Seven Grams is just enough off the beaten path. It's a sleek and modern split-level coffeeshop with plenty of…More »
8. Big Smoke Burger
Big Smoke Burger used to be known as Craft Burger. It turns out they didn't officially own the rights to "Craft Burger," and to play it safe they decided to change the name to a trademark they could secure. You'll note that nothing has really changed…More »
9. Rolo
Toronto, ON M5R 2C7
Canada
(416) 920-0100
Category:
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhood: Yorkville
I came here with my little sister convinced that ROLO was an acronym. Ridiculous Olio Life Organization? Rastafarian Organization of Les Objets? I pondered this impossible question as I browsed through the store and their ridiculous olio of laughable…More »
