Best breakfast in Toronto: Where to go and what to eat
"What is it: If you're looking for classic Toronto, look no further than this little breakfast joint in Little Italy. Since 1998, Aunties has been slinging eggs and bacon on mismatched plates to appreciative locals. If you're craving a sweet start to the day, the cinnamon French toast or oatmeal pancakes should fit the bill."

Toronto’s best coffee shops Downtown Part 1
"The Dundas west location of Café Plenty is a neat little spot in the middle of a super busy area; It’s smack across the street from Toronto Police 52 Division, on the cusp of Hospital Row and heading towards China Town west. This small yet roomy chic café is good for a croissant and latte pick-up, but if you’re hankering for more grab a sandwich and salad as well."
