Location: 165 Tremont Street, Boston, MA Honestly, this place should be called thinking crap. Hands down, the worst Earl Grey I’ve ever tasted…and I’ve tasted plenty. And besides, the chocolate croissant was nothing to write home about. Boo. Very disappointing. Someone quickly direct me to a good bakery/coffee shop. I miss Le Gourmand.

Location: 410 Adelaide St W www.leatcatering.com/home.htm In the cursed location where Zimbel’s Cafe and before that, Mosaic used to be, L’eat Express is the newest addition to the building beside Toronto School of Art. Herbal Infusions is faring quite well so far, so maybe there is hope for L’eat (such a difficult name to wrap my head around. Sometimes … Continue reading
Location: (Yorkdale Mall) 3401 Dufferin Street, Toronto www.michelsbaguette.com One of my favourite “go-to” bakeries in Toronto is Michel’s. It’s an European-inspired cafe/bakery and there are several locations in Ontario. It reminds me of Paul’s in Paris. No nonsense pastries, sandwiches and cafe lattes. It’s the perfect spot for a giggly group of girls women to go … Continue reading

Location: 404 Adelaide Street West Toronto, ON www.herbalinfusions.ca Just west of Spadina on Adelaide is a hidden gem of a gourmet tea shop. While rounding up everyone for our daily tea train, it’s been referred to as “that fancy new tea place” and,when they were giving away free steeped tea a couple of weeks ago, … Continue reading
Location: www.legourmand.com You guys, Le Gourmand is OPEN, again!!! As of 1pm today. It’s looking shiny and new, but most importantly: THE CHOCOLATE CHIP WALNUT COOKIES ARE BACK!! I’m also happy they’re no longer using POWDERED Earl Grey tea, but the real Taylors of Harrogate. Welcome back Le G, you were missed. Here’s Foodhogger’s original … Continue reading
Location: 375 Queen St. W. Toronto Open only 4 weeks now, Little Nicky’s already seems to have a cult following of donut lovers. Mini donuts, that is. Made on a cute little mini assembly line. Old-fashioned, little, powdery-sugar-and-cinnamon-covered deep fried goodness. We love the retro, dinery vibe, and with Ray Charles playing in the background, “A.Mat” … Continue reading
Went to Jimmy’s Coffee and got some Earl Grey (Mighty Leaf brand) and a banana caramel cake/bread – which was tasty but greasy. My tea has a funny aftertaste, which I can’t pin-point, tastes like the cup? Still, I like this place – it’s cosy and they have a lovely sunny patio out back. Reminds me … Continue reading
