Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near The Beaches, Toronto

Val • April 25, 2013Best vegan bakery in the city! Though it's way out east, it's worth a special trip. Gluten-free options too. Try the cupcakes and donuts!

Chester H. • October 2, 2017Great little shop, there aren't too many really good coffee shops on Queen East but this is the best I've seen east of Te Aro (near Pape). The iced latte was awesome.

Roslyn • June 8, 2011Green apple gelato is my fav but the espresso gelato is amazing too!

yoner • July 31, 2019Get the mixed meat wrap. It’s essentially a half beef, half chicken shawarma. Tremendously flavorful, especially with all the toppings!!

Paul L. • November 19, 2015All the bagels are great Montreal style. Cream cheese is spectacular. Beat the weekend morning rush and arrive around 10. Fresh bagels coming out!

Chris G. • July 17, 2011For a creamy Americano add the water first. Sandwiches I love the Thai tuna wrap.

Irwin L. • April 1, 2015Impeccable steak frites and duck confit. Nice wine list

Christine W. • April 28, 2016bread is great and always fresh. Get the cinnamon bun, has cream cheese icing on it.

Kim M. • August 24, 2011The best tomato quiche ever!

Rachel S. • October 30, 2015Great breakfast spot, especially in the summer. But be warned: portions are sizeable.

Will R. • September 1, 2014Try the Hazlenut gelato. So good.

Elizabeth V. • September 27, 2015This place is simply lovely. The bakery is in a tiny little home which makes it quaint and welcoming. The owners are just as sweet and amazing as there desserts.

Lisa F. • August 3, 2013The omelette de huitlacoche for brunch is delicious.

Angela M. • October 23, 2013Great spot to grab coffee and pastries on way to work:)

Katya R. • April 7, 2015Chef's starters plate, butter chicken and lamb qorma were very good and clearly made fresh. I liked the way tables are set; thumbs up for white table linen. The place really needs to work on service.

Joshua C. • September 5, 2014Really creative juices and smoothies. Organic and mostly local.

Steve H. • April 20, 2011Great breakfast for lunchtime too - especially combinations with the salmon such as egg sunset - but make up your own too!

Canset T. • August 11, 2018Tam bir Akdeniz mutfağı...

Julian S. • April 19, 2013The specials are usually good. Most staff pour a good Guinness. Lots of friendly regulars.

Meghan R. • January 22, 2012Delicious kamikazi maki! Spicy goodness.

@iamBraga • July 19, 2014Food is so fresh. Service is so friendly and inviting. Very nice place to sit and relax on their patio for a snack or enjoy their incredible sandwiches.

Mia • March 14, 2015Cute little tea shop in the beaches - really nice variety of teas - Truffle has now become my favorite😊

Beachdemon • May 27, 2014Amazing BBQ and slow cooked smoked meats! Farfalle pasta is also D-lish! Totally worth checking out, especially the patio in the summer.

Candice K. • November 15, 2012Try the Stiegl Grapefruit Radler. It's like beer and grapefruit pop. Delicious! Come on Wednesdays for live Gypsy Jazz 8-11.

Cameron D. • September 14, 2016Great spot if you're looking for a patio with a good beer selection. Typical bar food. Close to the beaches. Can't complain!

Jalila F. • June 7, 2013Best brunch in the beach. Can't go wrong here. Never disappoints. I wouldn't suggest coming in a group of more then 4 for weekend brunch. Dinner is good too.

Courtney H. • December 20, 2011Best in the city! Don't leave without trying the Crispy Spicy Beef. Also try the coconut chicken soup and the green curry. Wash it down with a Thai iced tea. Yum!

Daryl W. • April 27, 2013If you like really spicy curry, try the vindaloo.

Farrah O. • January 15, 2017Really amazing breakfast spot! We loved it! Will have to go back to try lunch and dinner now!

Ian L. • January 9, 2016Shio is a lighter sweet clam based broth, with a thicker noodle. Reminds me of Okinawa soba. Pretty good
