A lot of CB2 accessories for kitchen and home looks really familiar....

I think I seen them somewhere else? In someone's home? In some restaurants?

But I do like the pricing... which is quite affordable and some of the items are great gifts to someone as house warming gifts!

Furniture wise.. I do find a few interesting pieces... especially the outdoor furniture... dreaming having one of those day beds on my patio... until I see the price.. :)

The store itself is well layout... high ceiling... inviting comfy looking furniture....

There is also a small clearance section upstairs but the discount is just too minimum to worth your while!

I usually go to Congee Queen if I want some comforting food... and I know the quality and quantity never disappointed...especially if I want some decent Chinese food after hours...

Services always Meh..... Staffs all looked tired and overworked... and wish they are somewhere else.

Ask for something... an extra bowl? some hot sauce? If you lucky they will arrive eventually.... if not ask again....

They accepts Visa and Mastercard....

Huge Storefront Window overlooking Queen West....

Sunny and Warm Sunday Afternoon...

A well made Americano ($2.75) in a mug is all I need...

And an electric outlet right under my seat with Free Wifi..

Capital Espresso has all the elements that makes me a happy camper....

If you live in the Neighbourhood and you looking for varieties of Ethnic food, Fu Yao Supermarket is the place to shop.

You can find Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Jamaican, East European groceries... Which is quite surprising for a grocery store of this size.

Walking around give me cravings for Halo Halo... so many ingredients to make one of those... all I need to do is to add shaved ice!

But at least it has my favourite Ube+Green Bean ice bar.....

A OK or I've experienced better? 2.5 star maybe

Queen Victoria Pub can be both...

Great to have a drink with a friend if you are in Scarborough area.... but why are you in Scarborough in the first place?

Waitresses are really friendly.. and homey... most of the patrons are from the area.

Over 20 drafts on taps... nothing too exotic but most people will find something they enjoy.

Food.... Tuesday night is 1/2 half ribs... $11 for a rack with fries..lucky it is half price, as it just tasted blend and on the dry side and lack that grilled taste... BBQ sauce not helping much in making it taste any better...

Maybe I would stick with a beer and watch the Blue Jays lose/win next time on one of the big screen TV...

Dimming the light a little might help... at least all of us includes the waitresses can looks better? :)

Parkdale Library is quite decent..

A lot of shared communal tables right in the middle of the library... So you might able to get a seat... but there are not too many places to chill out...

So come here to have some work done, use their Wifi.. then move on....

Boreal Gelato Company's Lemon Olive Oil Sorbet is quite interesting... Refreshing and light for Summer evening, especially when I just want something light before my meal at Grand Electric...

The interior has this cozy and homey feel...love the sofa...

Ask for password if you want to use the Wifi.

Lunch Specials at $15 Monday to Friday till 5 PM.

I enjoyed my experience at Pizzeria Libretto Danforth much better than the original one.

The restaurant is so much more spacious... high ceiling, comfortable chairs and even a nice patio...

I almost half full after I ate my Arugula Salad.... the portion is huge and have almost a whole pear inside... a little over dressed for my preference but it is GOOD!

Margarhita pizza with oozing cheese and oh so fresh basil leaves.. I ate the whole thing...

Espresso Gelato, what a sweet ending..

All this washed down by a glass of "Anna 6" white wine ($5)

The sun is shining bright and the warm is warm... I kind of feel like I am in Naples?

La vita è Bella!

Some place you know you would not like it right when you step in. This Starbucks is one of those.

Due to the limited in space and it being so busy...the whole store are just full of people waiting... one time to order and other for the drinks...

The place just smell funny and without circulation, I don't even want to sit inside. They do have a patio so that is a way better option on a nice day.

Noka Contemporary Japanese Cuisine & Sushi

Noka.. a new Japanese restaurant just doing a soft opening in the Annex.

Service a little spotty... There was no wait for tables but I feel a little rushed and cannot really enjoy my dinner...

The price though is good... really good... but with all these competition around including Sushi on Bloor right next door and Sushi Couture just across the street and a few more in walking distance.. competition is going to be harsh!

Sushi Combo ($9) is amazing value... 5 pieces of sushi and a California roll with soup and salad and that's dinner pricing!!

- Salad dressing is Meh, funny mango taste...?
- complimentary potato chips is a nice touch
- The nigri sushi is good... but notice no wasabi inside...
- California Roll has sauce on top.. I guess it is one of those fusion twist?

Free Edamame if you check in on Yelp App (YAY!!)

There is something just missing from Noka... I hope they can figure that out before their Grand Opening!
