Hale Coffee Company - 300 Campbell Ave Unit #103, Toronto, ON M6P 3V6

š“ RESTAURANTS
Earls Kitchen + Bar - 150 King St W #100, Toronto, ON M5H 1J9 (Other locations too)
Earls is one of our favourite places to go ā they are an āupscale casualā dining spot. Their food is a fusion consisting of American, Canadian, and international dishes, offering vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Some items include steak, burgers, sushi, and chicken Hunan kung pao (Melissaās go-to, but with tofu).
Eataly Toronto - Manulife Centre, 55 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON M4W 1A6
Eataly is an Italian one-stop shop ā they have fresh pasta, pizza, cheese, coffee, and gelato. They have other locations, but their Toronto Yorkville location is the largest! If you plan to come here to eat, weād recommended getting a reservation as it is almost always busy (rightfully so!). Their food is amazing, but their gelato⦠their gelato is incredible. We recommend trying the pistachio or coffee flavours, but you can also ask the employee to taste other flavours! Their coffee is also pretty good, although nothing beats the Caffe Crema. Itās like a coffee frappe/iced cappuccino but a thousand times better!
PLANTA - 1221 Bay St., Toronto, ON M5R 3P5
PLANTA is a fully vegan restaurant, this location is more Italian-style with pizza and pasta dishes. This spot is one of Melissaās favourite places to get Margherita pizza. Their bang bang broccoli is also delicious! They have another location on Queen Street that offers more Asian-style cuisine including sushi, maki and hand rolls, and curry rice, just to name a few!
š¬ DESSERT
Andreaās Cookies - 1632 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON M6P 1A7
This cookie shop hits the spot when youāre looking for a sweet treat. The shop is open from Wednesday to Saturday, and has similar cookies to Crumbl, but more homemade tasting! They also have another location at 166 Ossington Ave, Toronto, ON M6J 2Z7.
Eataly Toronto - Manulife Centre, 55 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON M4W 1A6
Yes, thatās right, Eataly is here again. Trust me, their gelato is so good. They also have pastries and cake slices which are just as tasty, but their gelato is what dreams are made of!
SOMA Chocolatemaker (Distillery District) - 32 Tank House Lane, Toronto, ON M5A 3C4
Located in the Distillery District, SOMA has the best tasting hot chocolate Iāve ever had (this is Melissa talking, I canāt speak for Muhammad). They also have truffles that are also incredible. Thereās windows that allow you to peer into the workers making the chocolate and gelato! Itās the perfect place to warm up with a nice hot cup of hot chocolate.
