My hands-down favourite brunch spot, constantly on the list for Best Brunch in Toronto. Cute vintage decor. Small menu where everything is delicious, good pricing. Long wait times but worth it!

My favourite cafe. It's Scandinavian in its drinks, food and decor. The cardamom latte is unlike anything I've had. Best part: they have a hammock on their back patio!

Fruit at great prices. Favourite part: they have a juice bar where they'll juice up whatever you like for a very reasonable price. Smoothies too! Oozing that Kensington vibe.
