    Great gelato shop!! I tried my favourite mix of pistachio and hazelnut in a cup as 1 scoop and was really impressed. Strong flavours and even bits and chunks of pistachio nuts inside. They make everything in house and the owner told me they use the nuts from Italy too. I plan to visit many times this summer!

    We got the triple milk cake gelato, there was a 50% off promotion. There are pieces of cake inside the gelato which I enjoyed. The gelato is made of natural ingredients. The portion is generous, good value. The gelato itself tasted great, but the texture was icy and not really smooth. The employee was very friendly and offered samples. See my pics for the current flavours (they rotate) Unfortunately there is no seating.

    A neat Gelato Shop offering all natural gelato, snacks and drinks. We visited before Christmas and got the viral S'mores Hot Chocolate! It was rich and creamy as well as their regular hot chocolate. We also had two scoops of gelato in Gianduja and Sicilian Pistachio flavours. The staff is helpful especially when you can't decide which gelato flavours to get! The place is bright and clean and has a few tables. They don't have a public washroom.

    First time at this spot to try their hot chocolate and it was so good. We also got their affogato with espresso Biscoff gelato and it was the best thing ever. They have so many unique flavours of gelato too. Must try!

    Opening roughly 5 months in the West Queen West neighborhood, @venerosagelato is serving gelato that is 100% natural, freshly made in-house and with ingredients directly imported from Italy. They come in waffle cones, sugar cones or in a cup. You can sample some of their flavors before deciding which one you'll like. I loved their Triple Milk Cake and Mango and they also have Espresso Biscoff and Pistacchio.

    The smores hot chocolate was sweeter than expected but still good. The service was prompt and it was busy when we went. The presentation of the hot chocolate was nice. The place has some seats and the decor is nice.

    Flavours include Eastern Bliss and Triple Milk Cake-- two flavours I've never seen in a gelateria before!

    A new gelateria on Queen Street West opened today! The gelato is made on site, and there are some flavours that you don't find in standard gelaterias, like Eastern Bliss and Triple Milk Cake. The staff are super nice, and this weekend, everything is half off. Visit soon!

    Tsujiri (Tsujiri Tea Store/Tsujiri Chaho/辻利茶舗) is a Japanese tea spot and bakery of well, Tsujiri…read morethe Kyoto/Uji tea company on Toronto's Dundas and Elizabeth. The company has been in business since 1860 making matcha, hojicha/houjicha and other green teas, and you happen to have this tea and dessert spot here and in multiple cities. (I usually don't get Tsujiri's teas as I have my usuals in Yamamoto and Itou En, but because I see the bad Ohtani/Ootani way too often on the latter's displays as in the one on the Bums obviously, Shouhei [with the good one being Ikue-san who for us non-Japanese residents mostly know her as the voice actress of "Pokemon's" Pikachu], I may have to start getting Tsujiri's more often and Itou En's less often for matcha and houjicha. [I intentionally add the "-san" honorific to the good Ohtani and drop it to the bad Ohtani.] Yes Toronto and Canada, I too wanted the bad Ohtani to go to the Jays, not the Bums, and if you have always wondered why the Dodgers are called that, when the Trolley Dodgers [people dodged incoming trolleys to get to work] and the Giants were still in New York City's Brooklyn and Manhattan respectively until 1958, "New York World-Telegram" cartoonist Willard Mullin back in the day called them that as they didn't win their first and only east coast title until 1955, though the fortunes are the total opposite since they moved out west to Los Angeles and San Francisco.) Just like what I did with my Jirou review, I'll point out what items I see here that are not in my local cafes and vice versa. This will be a good reference section for me should I have the power to return to the city, and it will also give both you Canadians that haven't visited any of their multiple locations yet and international visitors an idea of what to expect. While I sit at multiple spots in my temporary home inserting the usual "Yes guys, the ladies are cute!" statement, I better mention this important note. Do keep in mind that the place, with a simple tea house look, is narrow. There aren't many places to sit at. There are just 2, 3 tables? Right around there. Let me get the item comparison part out of the way. Items I recall seeing here that are not in my local Japanese/Japanese ties cafes/dessert spots (the latter type involves a place I reviewed in Satura, a mainly European cafe at one of my suburbs with Japanese ties, including a partnership with a cafe/bakery in Tokyo)? There are items such as yuzu kakigoori (Japanese shaved ice), shiratama dango, dango parfait, and soft serve ice creams of matcha and houjicha. Items I recall seeing in my usual spots that are not in Tsujiri? Besides the cute decorations (multiple Sanrio characters coming to my mind instantly), the local Japanese bakeries/cafes have items such as kouign amann, "Anpanman" pan, Japanese strawberry short cake, ube matcha latte, and Japanese sodas. The fun part section? Seeing that my K-foodie sis, her friend and I are in a tea shop, a (too) legit (to quit) Japanese tea shop, of course I had to get tea in some form, as I picked the cold houjicha latte. We also had the matcha houjicha soft serve, a daifuku and an order of dango. As expected, the foods and drink are so good. Even my sister's friend said that the place is a perfect 5/5, and my sis likes the place despite not being as fond of Asian cafes or Asian desserts/pastries that aren't Filipino as I am. (She does like European ones like kouign amann though.) The flaws section? Normally, I penalize a cafe a star if it doesn't carry a caffeine free drink as I seriously think about the kids and how I often don't need the insane amount of caffeine, but because Tsujiri is a Japanese green tea company, I can't deduct a point for not having a mugicha. Besides, outside of mugicha, houjicha is a good alternative for kids that are old enough anyway. So, with that said/typed, the only flaw I can think of is the limited parking, but of course, this is Downtown Toronto now. Tsujiri is that good of a tea spot. Though there isn't an ideal parking situation, the place is that good of a spot because of the good tea and food. It may never be my top Japanese cafe (I've known Clover for around 20 years or so), but it is that good never the less. If you're looking for a good cafe/dessert spot in Toronto or in multiple cities in Canada, go to a Tsujiri spot! +/Tsujiri is terrific at being hospitable and flashing dashing foods and drinks, and having multiple locations in the country shows how good the spots have been. -/There's limited parking, but of course, this is Downtown Toronto/whatever Canadian city you're from after all.

    I haven't been back here in a while so I was surprised to see new menu items... I got the matcha…read moreand toasted soy bean latte and HOLY SH*T I think I found my drink for the summer. It's refreshing, matcha forward. And the toasted soybean powder conpliments the matcha very well - I was expecting it to overpower the matcha flavour. Thế syrup was also not too sweet but I do recommend giving this a very thorough stir. Service is still good after 5 years, and the place is great for taking photos of drinks in. Lots of wood elements seen in typical Japanese establishments.
