3 h. 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...

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...

Customers across Canada have been shocked to find that the prices of their Tim Hortons coffee have jumped up recently.The rising prices of, well, everything, lately, are a reality that the majority of Canadians have come to accept in the tumultuous years since the COVID-19 pandemic upended industries across the globe.It's simply not surprising anymore to find that your go-to snack or dinner ingredients have gotten more expensive overnight (while, all too often, the contents have dwindled).In spite of this — or, perhaps, because of it — folks find small comforts in those things that seem to stay, perpetually, the same.For the past three years, the price of a coffee at Tim Hortons has been one such thing, but no more: the quintessentially Canadian cafe chain has increased the prices on its coffee.It's a move that the chain calls "more than reasonable" in a statement made to blogTO."Our approach to pricing in our restaurants does not reflect any ...
