For very yummy coffee and huge jars of exotic loose teas, come here. The shop is on the main floor of a house, and an always packed patio in the front. Very homey atmosphere.

BEST smoked meat sandwiches in the hood! (and arguably in Toronto). Don't bother with anything else, just get the sandwich... and a pickle.

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. That's all. In any incarnation you can imagine: the regular slab of orange between two slices, or bread adorned with mozzarella, sundried tomatoes, arugula and pesto.

open 24 hours. Nothing like rare beef and beef balls with rice noodles in soup @3am. Or chicken currey. or an avocado milkshake... a bit pricier than the other pho places, but cleaner and better.

Best. Ethiopian. Restaurant. In. Toronto. I have tried at least 8 different restaurants. This tops them. Order Beef tibs, Kitfo (rare) and the veggie combo platter. 2 dishes is enough for 3 people.

BEST VEAL SANDWICH EVER! I like to order my juicy veal cutlet with a big slab of roasted eggplant, and some cheese. Half will fill you up, and you will have messy sticky tomato sauce fingers!

Ronnies oozes hipster. It has a great patio and inside, although a little grungy, feels like you are in an old house, which i believe, you are. They serve import beers and have others on tap.

If you would like to see what the previous owners of Bohemian-Lux are up to, check out their new bar which opened in the summer of 2012. They have a wonderful stock of imported beers!
