There is a new poutine joint opened up at Bloor and Spadina. Not sure if it was posted already - but didn't see it in the last couple of pages.
They have all you can eat poutine on tuesdays. 296 Brunswick Avenue. They are from Montreal.

I walked by today and it was still open. Is it closING soon? There is a huge portrait of the original owner....perhaps she recently passed?

This will be nothing to write home about.
Lavazza is one of the big Italian coffee monopolies found all over Europe. See also Illy, Segafredo, etc. Low quality beans shipped from very far away and sourced by unethical means.
Signing a contract with these megaroasters entitles cafe owners to a pretty decent free espresso machine (good espresso machines can cost as much as a fiat 500 -- no small investment).

There is already a Lavazza Expression at Harbourfront.

Explains, I guess, why they were all over the place at the Rogers Cup.....I guess building some brand recognition here.

According to the Star, the official closing date is September 7. Looks like I might be able to get in one more visit.

Does anyone know the story of "Tree Top African Cafe" on Dundas outside Kensington Market? It looks to have been abandoned for years. The earliest Google Streetview image from 2007 shows it in the same dilapidated state.
Someone on Chowhound says it's been cleaned up in the past few days and apparently someone is opening it as an African cafe! Can anyone who goes by there verify this? I wonder why it sat there like that for a decade? Was it ever in business in the past?

Yes, super excited about that, the Danforth Libretto is my favourite pizza in the city, but it's not that convenient for us to get to. This one we'll be able to walk to. More pizza and negronis are on the horizon.

signs have been up for ages....seems to be taking longer and longer for restos to open!
While we are in that 'hood.....I finally ate at Los Colibris the other night (it is the Mexican place that moved into Barootes space at 220 King W (El Caballito is their Tequila bar that went in below in the old Quotes space). The food was excellent...service was a bit spotty (considering the place was no where near full) but it appeared they were just understaffed a bit - not expecting any trade early on a Tuesday night perhaps.
Burrito Boyz is opening in the old bank on the ne corner of Queen and Roncy.
