Best French Bakery in Ontario

"Toronto’s most famous ice cream sandwich can be found at Bang Bang on Ossington Avenue. The now iconic ice cream sandwich shop in Toronto opened its doors in 2014. Local foodies quickly caught wind and queues begun snaking down the street at the first whiff of warm weather (and during cooler temps too, if we’re honest)."

"A post shared by COTG // Food•Travel•Girlpower (@chicagoonthego) on Apr 6, 2019 at 1:34pm PDT. Bang Bang has some unreal flavours — ranging from Soybean Walnut to Avocado. When paired with their egg waffle cones, it becomes a must-share for you to post on your Instagram feed."

"Nestled on Ossington Ave, Bang Bang is most definitely the best restaurant in Toronto for ice-cream sandwiches. Having much more of a cafe and takeout vibe, Bang Bang is the type of place you grab something and go. Honestly, run to this places, it’s amazing!"

"When The Pilot opened its doors in 1944, it was originally dedicated to Canadian WWII pilots fighting overseas. Today, The Pilot continues to embody this spirit, with its large rooftop terrace dubbed the “Flight Deck.” The laid-back atmosphere is indicative of Yorkville and is a great option for some much-needed reprieve from the bustling downtown core. On Saturdays, you’ll be able to catch live jazz from some of Canada’s finest musicians, adding to the historic charm of the establishment."

"A big part of why Toronto's coffee culture has had such a glow-up story is Pilot Coffee Roasters. What started as one coffeeshop in Leslieville quickly blossomed into a franchise of stores and a roastery across the city, all with the same mission statement – providing great coffee in a way that benefits growers and consumers alike. We'll drink to that."

"Next pick is one that is located in Yorkville for those of you looking to switch it up from the typical southern core spots. The Pilot’s is a large steel rooftop patio (The Flight Deck) with an interesting history. The Pilot offers up some high end eats if you’re looking for a nice place to eat while still keeping that bar vibe going."

"What makes them special: Located in the historic Dineen Building, this popular coffee shop attracts the visitors with a distinctively stylish interior marked with high ceilings, red leather banquettes, and custom marble countertops. Coffee breaks last way longer here and with a good reason—unique roasts like Temperance Espresso Blend, with light citrus notes and a very smooth texture, call for attention and a true appreciation of quality."

"Thankfully, there are three Dineen Coffee spots dotted around Toronto, meaning there’s always a spot relatively close by. Personally, my favourite is on Gerrard Street East but there’s another great spot on Yonge Street, too. Prices can be a little higher than other spots, but it’s well worth it if you want some good quality coffee."

"Death in Venice is all about unique gelato flavours, and they produce 52 different flavours that change by the seasons. Some of their wildest flavours include Grilled Cheese & Sourdough, Pad Thai, and Corn on the Cob. Don’t worry if you’re not too experimental, though – they’ve got “normal” flavours like Turkish Coffee, Nutella & Cookies, and Peanut Butter & Croissant!"

"Mad scientist Kaya Ogruce’s gelato laboratory produces some outrageous flavours. Many—like pad Thai, corn on the cob and grilled cheese—sound more like savoury eats than sweet, icy treats. If standard vanilla is what you’re after, this alchemist’s creations are not for you."

"Chemical engineer turned gelato magician, Kaya Ogruce whips up flavour combos you could only dream of. They’re often wild, but they work!"

"Just outside of Calii Love (the healthy eats coffee, smoothies and lunch bar specializing in poke bowls) on King Street you’ll find some adorable pink murals that are perfect for the gram. These are probably my favourite pink walls in Toronto, aren’t they cute?. Located at: 367 King Street W"

"If you’re also a lover of all things colour, Calii Love has a wall filled with cute and aesthetic murals perfect for your Instagram feed. Afterwards, you can grab a colourful latte or poké bowl inside the restaurant!. LOCATION: 367 King St. West, Toronto, ON"

"Cauldron Ice Cream opened its doors in September 2018 in Toronto’s trendy Queen Street West. Owners Serena Sun and Alex Wang prepare the shops ice cream with liquid nitrogen. When the fog billows out of the mixing bowl it looks similar to a witches cauldron!"

"Founded in 2002 by Bay St. lawyers Shawn Hewson and Ruth Promislow, Bustle Clothing is a leading Canadian sportswear label, known for its cheeky twist on menswear classics. Shop their new unisex collaboration – Playboy X Bustle. The collection includes: heritage classics, collegiate prep, streetwear, vintage-inspired T-shirts and accessories."

"This is one of our all-time favourite spots to hang in the city. Not only is there plenty of room for kids and pets to run around, but you can also enjoy great eats and drinks at their three patios. Depending on your mood you can either grab food from the various vendors on-site or enjoy a sit-down experience."

"Techie-turned-brewer Callum Hay takes traditional beers and adds spin with ingredients like rose hips, ­sarsaparilla, tangerine and prickly pear. If you like what you drink—and if you’re an aspiring or experienced home brewer—all of Halo’s recipes can be found on their website. If not, a visit to the taproom for a pint of something super juicy, sour or hoppy is in order."

"Known for: Experimental concoctions in a cool modern setting. Three years ago, head brewer Callum Hay quit his day job as a software engineer to turn his basement home-brewing hobby into a full-fledged business. Ever since, Halo has been pumping out equally delicious and unorthodox creations."

"A post shared by Halo Brewery (@halobrewery) on Dec 7, 2017 at 9:33am PST. Chris from travelingmitch:. “In this post on Toronto breweries, we want to make sure that we’re giving enough love to the west end, which had a thriving beer scene before it was cool."
