Starving Foodie's Favourite Things List

I thought it might be fun to do an Oprah style list of my favourite things in Toronto and more.

You can use it as a guide to your Christmas shopping or something new to try or you can even use it if you want to get me a gift I will love.   I hope that some of these things become your favourite things too.

Top 10 List of Starving Foodie Favourite Things:


1.  Teas
  • Kusmi Tea - Detox
  • Numi Tea - Gunpowder Green
  • Teavana - Oprah Chai

2.  Coffee Shops

  • Starbucks - Love Peppermint Mochas and Cool Lime Refreshers
  • Aroma Espresso Bar - Ice Lemon Mint Aromas and great Hot Chocolate

3.  Sweet Treats
  • Squish Candy - Grapefruit and Blood Orange flavour and Strawberry Rhubarb
  • Hong Kong Waffles - I love snapping off bubbles of waffles
  • Portland Variety Chocolate Chip cookies.  They are they best cookies I have ever had in Toronto

4.  Housewares stores - I love looking for things at Homesense and stores like that where I can find interesting gadgets and tableware and things I can use to style my photos at home and for entertaining.
  • Winners
  • Homesense
  • Kitchen Stuff Plus
  • The Bay
5.  Restaurants
  • Hawthorne Food and Drink - Because they use local vendors and train people that need help to get jobs in the industry while trying to produce as little waste as possible.


  • Pearl Diver - Great seafood and awesome desserts too and they have a special private room for Chef special nights to help George Brown College chefs mentor with established chefs.

6.  Things - Movies
I love going to see movies so a Cineplex Gift Card or tickets for a TIFF film would be great.
I love documentaries so a pass to Hot Docs Film Festival even better.

7.  Gelato
I like the Gelato from Gelato in Yorkville and I like La Paloma but it's far for me now without wheels.

8.   Cheese

If I lived near the Cheese Boutique I would probably be there all the time.  I love cheese.  I like triple cream cheeses like this and smoked cheddar for mac and cheese and goat cheese for pastas and appetizers and Cheddar cheese for so many things.


9.    Poke
I love the classic Tuna Poke - Favourite places include:

  • Big Tuna Poke on Bloor Street.
  • Cali Love on King St. West.
  • North Poke on Baldwin


10.   Places

The Drake Devonshire Inn - For it's amazing view and relaxing vibes and it's eclectic decor.
