Tinto Coffee House

 89 Roncesvalles
416-530-5885
At first glance, Tinto looks like a lovely place, with 2 levels, many vegetarian items, and an overall great atmosphere.

Aaron, Brandon,  and I went to Delux for Brunch sometime ago after one of our runs. Delux is a French-Cuban restaurent and replaced The Sparrow. Inside, it’s funky like a loft-style condo, with high ceilings, ultra modern with exposed brick,funky art (think Andy Warhol).
Marble tables with dark wood surround the place.  Located in funky hipster Ossington [...]

Euro Crepe Cafe

582 Danforth Ave
(416) 462-2500
Euro Crepe Cafe is a relatively new place on the Danforth that serves both sweet and savoury crepes and other brunch fare. Given the fact that many places on the Danforth do not survive a year, Wendy and I thought we should stop and critique the crepe selection. Wendy loves savoury, while [...]
