1. Dark Horse Espresso Bar
Toronto, ON M6J
(647) 352-3512
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
A new dark horse location on queen west! Barn boards and nifty Edison light bulbs adorn this gorgeous space. Coffee is delicious and the atmosphere is hipster calm. Lovely addition to the queen west coffee landscape.
2. Nespresso Boutique Toronto at the Bay
Nespresso Boutique is hard to compare to any other Nespresso Boutiques because it is the only one in Ontario. They sell Nespresso machines ALL over the country and there are only two stores, one in Toronto and one in Montreal. Everyone else is forced…More »
3. Junction Fromagerie
Toronto, ON M6P 1Z3
(647) 344-8663
Category:
Cheese Shops
Neighbourhood: The Junction
The Junction Fromagerie is a small, cute cheese shop with welcoming service and a good selection of Canadian cheeses. They had a good selection of Monforte and Fifth Town cheeses, Evelyn's Crackers and fresh locally made bread. We tasted several…More »
4. Silk
A friend recommended I go to Silk for the best thai food in the West end. This location was formerly called Young Thailand, but they both have the same proprietor, Wandee Young.
The decor in Silk is very traditional, dark and often with very bizarre…More »
5. Wafflebar
Wafflebar is a vendor at the Brick Works Farmers Market on Saturday morning. It is the best waffle I have ever eaten, they use seasonal local fruit as a topping option, as well as chantilly cream or just plain icing sugar. The service is friendly and…More »
6. Rowe Farms
Toronto, ON M6S 1N6
(416) 766-4383
Category:
Meat Shops
Neighbourhoods: Bloor-West Village, Swansea
When I saw that Rowe Farms was coming to Bloor West Village, I was elated. The products are expensive, more so than going to your average farmers market, but it is one of the only places in the Village to get antibiotic and hormone free meat, with a…More »
7. Alfredos Fine Food
Alfredo's is surprising. It is seemingly an overstuffed convenience store, until you really look at the stock on the shelves. Sure, it is crowded, but it has organic, specialty products that the local grocery stores don't carry. Organic milk, cream,…More »
8. Boston Avenue Photo Co.
Toronto, ON M8Y 1L3
(416) 255-6228
Category:
Photographers
Neighbourhood: Etobicoke
Boston Avenue did the photos for our wedding. The photo style is photojournalistic and contemporary. They had two photographers with us for the entire day, although it took some getting used to, it was as if I was being followed by the paparazzi. The…More »
9. Bliss
Toronto, ON M5A 1L4
(416) 323-3353
Category:
Party & Event Planning
Neighbourhood: Corktown
The gals at Bliss helped plan my wedding. As a girl who did not dream of what her wedding day would look like when she was a child, I was overwhelmed with all the decisions but had a very clear idea of what I did and didn't like. Whitney, one of…More »
10. Sears
Etobicoke, ON M9C 1B8
(416) 620-6011
Category:
Department Stores
Neighbourhood: Etobicoke
The pug hair was starting to pile up, my broken vacuum was collecting dust, which would also need to be vacuumed up, I was in desperate need of a new vacuum. I went to Sears. It seemed like the right place to go. The selection was good - a huge price…More »
11. Wise Daughters Craft Market
Toronto, ON M6P 1Z8
(416) 761-1555
Categories:
Art Galleries,
Jewellery
Neighbourhood: The Junction
Wise Daughters is a fun store, located beside the tastiest coffee, Crema. So grab a coffee and head over for a quick browse of their handmade art, clothing, accessories and jewellery. The store is average priced for local, artsy items and has tons of…More »
12. Fraser-MacDonald Animal Hospital
My pug and I have been visiting Fraser-MacDonald Animal Hospital since he was just wee. After having a terrible experience at another vet, it was refreshing to go to a wonderful place like this. The front desk staff are lovely, and helpful and the…More »
13. L'Enveloppe Rouge Papery & Giftware
Toronto, ON M6S 4W1
(416) 766-2772
Category:
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhoods: Bloor-West Village, Swansea
Located in a strange alley of oft-forgotten stores, gyms and offices off Bloor Street, this card shop is a wonderful find. It has hip and clever cards, great little trinkets and locally made jewellry at an extraordinarily affordable price. The staff…More »
14. Starbucks Coffee
As Starbucks go, this one is pretty run of the mill. Nothing fancy. Same quality of lattes/americanos as any of the other Starbucks. The staff are friendly. The downside to this starbucks is the lack of seating, only a small row of seats, usually…More »
15. Outhouse
Outhouse - a strange and unappealing name but nonetheless a welcome addition to a bleak strip of Jane street. Vegetarian and vegan sandwiches, baked goods, soups and salad are offered in a cozy space with perhaps the friendliest staff I have come…More »
16. Loblaws
Toronto, ON M6R 1X3
(416) 533-4078
Category:
Grocery
Neighbourhoods: High Park, Roncesvalles
As far as grocery stores go, this one is a bit below the average loblaws. Having used this store for years by locational default I can say with experience that the store has all the basics but few frills. Recently they have added more specialty…More »
17. Pizzaiolo
A delicious slice of delivery heaven. If I want to order delivery, this is my favourite place. The Gianni Ola with its bacon and mushrooms and soft and chewy crust makes me so very happy.
This location has always served me tasty slices in store, with…More »
18. Pottery Barn Kids
Take a dozen pregnant women, new moms and seasoned moms with their irritated children and put them in a store, a tiny store, filled to the brim with overpriced and adorable items - and this is Pottery Barn Kids at Sherway Gardens Mall. If you should…More »
19. Hrvati Bar
Toronto, ON M6G 2V3
(647) 350-4227
Category:
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Seaton Village
A rustic, hip, woodsy interior welcomes you when you open the door to this new "Croatian" style pub located in little korea. The large harvest table is great for a big group, or several parties at once, with additional seating at the bar and in the…More »
20. Yours Truly
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z9
(416) 533-2243
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
Yours Truly is a great new addition to the ossington strip. Formerly a Galaxy Donuts, they have transformed it into an uber cool and modern space with faux wood walls, copper light fixtures and edison light bulbs. The old Galaxy Donuts sign can be…More »
21. Gelateria Gianni
Oh mio dio! After a trek up and down the Torre Asinelli - which always induces nausea on my part - a cup of gelato is both unwise and necessary. In my extensive gelato travels in Italy, this gelateria ties for best in the country. The flavours are…More »
22. Patisserie 27
Re-review update: They have added a few tables and chairs and continue to make delicious banana chocolate croissants. Worth a star, I'd say.

23. Locanda del Falco Spelta Caterina di Piazza S.
Beautifully located at Castello Rivalta. Delicious Pisarei, one of the best I ate in the region. I still dream of the tagliolini with porcini that I ate here. A wonderfully cozy place to have a nice meal. There is a wonderful store on site that is…More »
24. Ristorante La Capriata
This restaurant is lovely. Before entering check out the medieval arrow stuck in the portico - it's been there since in landed - very cool! Delicious Bolognese food - the pasta is the highlight - made by a sweet nonna and I must say, I had a moment…More »

Toronto, ON M6S 1N6
(647) 427-2998
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Bloor-West Village
What a treat! An Italian cafe through and through - complete with Italian muzak and a rich, creamy espresso that makes me dream of my days in Italy. A selection of pastries include nutella biscotti and the perfect sized canolli. The gelato selection…More »
