A friend recommended The Chicken Cartel and how good their fried chicken sandwiches were. And now…read morebecause they have opened a new closer location, original location was in Oakville, I made the trip to Etobicoke to check them out. Because also, hubby always craves fried chicken. Menu is small, only a few chicken sandwich options, a few wraps, and some chicken fingers, fries etc. Prices I felt were on the higher side, as a sandwich averaged about $15 alone, combo was an additional $4+, higher if you want to get the Pop Shoppe soft drinks. For our family of 4, we ordered the Cartelito (the most "regular" chicken sandwich), the TKO (topped with slaw, honey dijon and some chilli oil), the Uppercut (chili oil, japanese slaw, chipotle mayo), and an order of Chix & Sticks (chicken finger and fries). Burgers & chicken fingers were done great. Thick cuts of crispy fried chicken. Fries were good, similar to new york fries. I got an order of onion rings, these weren't great, batter was thick and a bit too crunchy, i don't think they were home made, likely frozen, so i would stick to the fries next time i go. Good treat once in a while, but definitely a once in a while treat as for a lunch for a family of 4, it was quite pricey.

My new favourite cafe for baked goods. I work in the area,…read moreso I'm always looking for new bakeries and pastries to try, to enjoy with my coffee during my break. Black goat is no stranger to me. I visited this cafe only a handful of times more than 5 years ago, as I was not working in the area yet but would come down for meetings. During this time I distinctly remember they had an Oreo cheesecake cookie that was aaaaamazing. So amazing, I never forgot about it, 5+ years later lol. Well I came back this year, sad to find out they were no longer selling it. So on my first visit, I decided just to get a chocolate chip cookie. To my surprise, I actually really liked it. I'm very picky with my chocolate chip cookies. The bonus was the price point. It was only $2 something for a delicious, generously sized cookie. On one of my most recent visits a conversation was sparked with the owner. I thought it was appropriate as I was in there so often, I should at least learn her name lol. I learned so much from her and all the struggles she faces as a small business during these times of COVID and inflation. The owner is soooo nice and sweet. Okay this review is getting so long lol let me tell you about some of the other treats. Which again, her price points are so refreshing during these expensive times. Banana chocolate chip muffin- I don't like these, but I love them at black goat. The muffin top has the slightest crunch and they use chopped Belgian chocolate instead of chocolate chips. All this makes it's so delicious and so different than any other banana chocolate muffin I've tried. Carrot muffin- again that slight crunch on the muffin top is such a winner. And the muffin is not too sweet, like those store bought one. It tastes fresh, like your actually getting a serving of vegetables lol making you feel even better about eating a muffin. New menu item, croissants - so wonderful! It has the perfect slightly crunchy outer layer while the inside is so soft and all around buttery. AND great news, the Oreo cheesecake cookies are coming back this week!! Back by popular demand, she informed me that these were coming back, as she was rolling out a whole load of new bakery items. (Brownies, hello dolly bars, other cookies) I'm sooooo excited, take all my money! Hot tip: all baked goods are 50% off after 1:30!

While waiting for my order at The Empanada Company, I saw Fair Grounds Cafe and it intrigued me. I…read moredecided to drop by a week later, as I was in the area to get more empanadas. I found parking right in front of the cafe. It's diagonal, pull-in street parking. I walked in. It's a push to get through the door. I was immediately greeted by a friendly, accommodating staff member. I wanted a hot chocolate and asked about the four different ounce sizes. He showed me all the paper white cups. I went with the second-largest size. I also asked that I get soy or some non-dairy beverage added to it. Done! I have a weakness for baked goods. This cafe has vegan options, including pumpkin vegan muffins during my visit. Everything looked so goods, from brownies, to cookies. I saw the large cookie jars staring at me. My gosh, each cookie is larger than the palm of my hand and I have big hands! I wanted a s'mores one so badly. You basically take the tongs, grab your cookie, and place it in a paper bag. I got my hot chocolate and cookie that came to $9. It's not cheap, but it's fair trade goods. I expect to pay slightly more. There is a draft in the cafe, so the merchant bill that I had ripped off the machine before getting my bill blew off the counter and onto the floor. I let the man know, which he appreciated. You can pay by cash, and debit and credit cards. I also provided a tip. As usual, it's up to you. It was a bit of a challenge with full hands to get out of the cafe when you need to pull on the door handle to get out. Luckily, I put my hot chocolate on the bar-like table, pulled the door open, used my foot to keep it open, grabbed my drink, and moved quickly through the door. Problem solved! The hot chocolate is dark chocolate. I happen to love it. If you are more of a milk hot chocolate lover, you might find the hot chocolate to be missing sugar and perhaps taste bitter. I loved it. There was probably more soy in my drink than there should have been, but it was perfect for my less sugary needs. The s'mores cookie is extremely yummy! OMG, if I lived in the neighbourhood, I would buy the jar of cookies every day. It was buttery, chocolatey, and marshmallowy (I know, not a word, but whatever) delicious. It paired nicely with my hot chocolate, as it had slightly more sugar. I would come back just for this cookie alone. There were plenty of seats to sit down. If you sit by the bar-like area with stools, you get a nice view of the area. People-watching is casual in this cafe. It has a nice vibe. You can get a number of fair-trade coffee varieties. I am personally not a coffee connoisseur, but I appreciated both the selection and the cause. I like this cafe. I'd come back to give the muffins and more drink items a taste the next time I'm here.

Great staff, decent ice creamy…read more If the server educated us on how the ice cream is made it is family owned and made in-house and I believe she called it custard base and they have rotating flavors. We tried The salted caramel espresso, the vanilla, the strawberry, so overall what I would say is the ice cream is very mild and none of the ice cream flavors were that rich it did feel like a healthier alternative which is not bad but if you are someone who likes your ice cream to be a lot sweeter not sure that they have that type of option. I also tried the charcoal cone which I thought was delicious it's similar to a sugar cone but it's not as sweet and it was the perfect balanced to the ice cream I did find that the ice cream melted quicker than usual and I'm wondering if that's because it's a custard

(The joint is now located inside Woody's Burgers.) After perusing their promising list of flavors, I decided to go with the Toasted Marshmallow option. I got a single scoop in a cup and took a seat on their inviting patio. I was immediately struck by how creamy the ice cream is. It's got this amazing texture that's enhanced by the strong, irresistible vanilla flavor. Honestly it's among the best vanilla I can remember eating. The problem is, however, that I didn't order vanilla, I ordered Toasted Marshmallow. As I kept eating, I did find sporadic pockets of marshmallow, and they were good, but I definitely wouldn't classify them as "toasted." Still, I'd return just based on the strength of that vanilla.
