54 h. ago Popular Toronto sandwich shop that closed finally making comeback this week

A once-popular Toronto sandwich shop that's been closed for nearly a year is about to open a new, permanent location.The day is nearly here: Slammie Sammies is making its epic return to the Toronto food scene this weekend, as the sandwich shop gears up for the grand opening of its first-ever permanent location.Founded by Pedro Dos Santos and Marilyn Simms of Vert Casse-Croûte Catering in the spring of 2024, Slammie Sammies first made its mark on the city while operating out of the beloved, now-defunct (but replaced by the equally great Roxton Pub) Opera Bob's.Serving what Dos Santos and Simms describe as "sloppy, messy, two-hander sandwiches," Slammie Sammies gained its reputation for precisely that: whopping sandwiches that leave you scraping every last bit of filling off the wrapping once it's done.Grilled Chicken Tzatziki, Vietnamese Sweet Beef, and Shrimp Po Boy were all among the sandwich venture's best-sellers before it fell into a sudden h...

3 d. ago A groovy new pizza place is replacing a neighbourhood favourite in Toronto

A Toronto restaurant that was a local favourite is about to be replaced by a trendy new pizza joint.Toronto is riddled with so-called "hidden gems:" those if-you-know-you-know spots good enough to contend with the most buzzworthy of institutions that, for whatever reason, go virtually undetected by people outside the neighbourhood.For Harbord Village residents, up until February of 2025, one such spot was Borden Street's Think It Cafe.A cozy, homey cafe that served up Italian paninis, baked goods from Amico Chef and coffee, Think It stood as a certified neighbourhood staple for seven years before a series of obstacles piled up high enough for the cafe to ultimately close its doors.There's good news on the horizon for the neighbourhood, though: a new venture is preparing to keep up the Italian tradition in Think It Cafe's former home at 196 Borden St., albeit with a different dish.    View this post on Instagram    &n...

3 d. ago Toronto ice cream shop is closing down after less than a year

A Toronto ice cream shop that took over for one of the city's best is closing permanently after less than a year in business.It was a loss for the ages, back in late October of 2024, when Moss Park's Creamery X announced it would be closing down for good.The ice cream shop, located at the, shall we say, colourful intersection of Queen and Jarvis, gained a major reputation during its short-and-sweet four-year run thanks to its next-level flavours, which included a selection of vegan and gluten-free ice creams.The shop officially closed at the end of October last year and was instantaneously replaced by a new, but deeply similar venture, Pink Elephant Creamery. There's good reason for why, exactly, the two ice cream shops were so similar.Upon the transfer of ownership from Creamery X to Pink Elephant, all of Creamery X's award-winning recipes were transferred to Urvin. It was a great deal for Creamery X's enthusiastic local fanbase, who would still be abl...

6 d. ago Massive fireworks show to light up Toronto skies for major festival next week

Toronto is gearing up for a huge celebration as Diwali - Festival of Lights returns to the city, complete with ethnic bites, a diverse lineup of vendors and artists, and, of course, an enormous fireworks display. This year, attendees can expect over 1,000 artists — both local and international — to grace the stage with live dance shows and musical performances. Although the international appearances are still under wraps, last year the festival featured Mumbai Troupers and Bollywood actor Omi Vaidya. So, if these appearances are anything to go by, then this year's special guests should be something to look forward to.Of course, a Diwali event also means an abundance of South Asian food. Street food vendors, such as Toronto Tikki Co. and Uncle Omelet, as well as fusion food vendors like Fukrey Indian Bistro and Streetside Munchies, will set up shop at this two-day festival.    View this post on Instagram     ...

6 d. ago Loblaw closing No Name discount grocery stores in Ontario after just a year

Loblaw Companies Ltd. is slowly winding down its ultra-discount No Name grocery store program, with two of the three pilot locations in Ontario now closed or slated to shut down just over a year after they first opened. The stores were originally launched in September 2024 and gave shoppers access to even lower prices than the company's existing discount chains, like No Frills. The concept aimed to reduce operating costs through shorter store hours, a smaller assortment of products, limited marketing, no refrigeration, and fewer weekly deliveries. At the time, the company said that the stores would help customers save up to 20 per cent on everyday essentials; however, it looks like the concept didn't exactly land with consumers, as its reduced operating costs meant shoppers would have to shop elsewhere for refrigerated items like dairy or fresh meat products. The bare-bones stores carried just 1,300 products, compared to the 7,000 items typically carried in sm...
