The closest awesome coffee shop! Really friendly, less than 2 minutes away, great coffee, and open at 7 AM pretty much every day. I'm not a big fan of their baked goods though.

The best coffee in the 'hood and a cool walk through a formerly industrial area with warehouses and interesting businesses. All the hipsters working on computers all day makes for some cool people watching, too.

The Commissary is an awesome all day restaurant but also stocks lots of prepared goods. If you're tired from a day of exploring but want to eat at home where it's cozy, they've got you covered. Or grab any meal and wash it down with excellent coffees, juices or cocktails. Plus getting there is fun - Sterling is one of the most cool streets in Toronto!

They have THE BEST SCONES and my favourite croissants as well. Plus you get to pass the water tower and go over the rail bridge to get there if you're walking, which I recommend. I love the rail bridge and this is definitely iconic in the 'hood.

The Islands are a great place to explore - you can see the skyline from a whole new perspective! Plus taking the ferry is fun. Rent bikes and pack a picnic then head to the beach for the day. Most of the time it's good for swimming, if a bit cold.

They design the goods here in the back and they are great. Many are "Canadiana" but I'd say others are heritage looking. I particularly like their bags design. They use cool logos such as CBC Radio, Boeing, Cessna, Nasa and RCMP. The store front is a bit inconspicuous but it's worth a visit!
