While they rock a full-\u00adon menu\u00a0(and drinks!) the strength of Bloomer&#8217;s is in their desserts and baked goods. Bloomer&#8217;s was the cafe\u00a0I worked out of for a few weeks, and I pretty much ate a donut a day during that time&#8230;sometimes\u00a0more. From simple Blueberry or Lemon, to more interesting flavours like Rose Pistachio or\u00a0Peppermint Mocha, Bloomer&#8217;s is a great place to chill out grab a bite. They have a decent selection\u00a0of gluten-\u00adfree items, too!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15389\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Bunners.jpg\"  rel=\"attachment wp-att-15389\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15389\" class=\"wp-image-15389\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Bunners-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"Bunner's\" width=\"590\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Bunners-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Bunners-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Bunners-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15389\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bunner&#8217;s<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/reviews\/bunners-bake-shop-toronto-24980\" ><strong>BUNNER&#8217;S BAKE SHOP<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nBunner&#8217;s was a new one for me, and I was not disappointed. Located in Kensington Market,\u00a0Bunner&#8217;s is a grab\u00adand\u00adgo kind of place; it&#8217;s a bakery, not a restaurant or cafe. Their options were\u00a0amazingly overwhelming: donuts, cake, cupcakes, cinnamon buns, brownies, bread, pizza\u00a0buns&#8230;the list goes on. The cinnamon buns are DEFINITELY a must, and their pizza buns were\u00a0surprisingly delicious. I may have even liked them more than their desserts \u2013 that&#8217;s how good they\u00a0were. With killer savoury AND sweet options, consider Bunner&#8217;s a mandatory stop.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/reviews\/urban-herbivore-eaton-centre-toronto-29094\" ><strong>URBAN HERBIVORE<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nUrban Herbivore has always been my standard Kensington stop. Historically, it&#8217;s where I would\u00a0stock up on cookies and muffins for my long drive out of the city and back to Kingston. They also\u00a0make some delicious salads, hearty soups and stews, and healthy sandwiches. If you&#8217;re getting\u00a0your sugar kick from Bunner&#8217;s and Bloomer&#8217;s and your comfort carbs from Hogtown, Urban\u00a0Herbivore is where you may actually get some nutrients \u2013 hardly a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/reviews\/fresh-on-spadina-toronto-1353\" ><strong>FRESH<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nIf we&#8217;re going to talk nutrients, we have to talk Fresh. While on the pricier (and busier) end of\u00a0things, Fresh delivers some wicked juices and healthy bowls. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, you&#8217;ll get your\u00a0money&#8217;s worth for sure, it&#8217;s just Fresh isn&#8217;t really a \u201cbudget\u201d destination. Because of that, I don&#8217;t go\u00a0every time I&#8217;m in the city but when I do I make sure to stuff my face. Over the years they have\u00a0become quite popular, and now have 3 locations around the city. I suggest calling for reservations\u00a0if you&#8217;re planning to go during lunch or dinner hours.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15386\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Veg-Haven.jpg\"  rel=\"attachment wp-att-15386\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15386\" class=\"wp-image-15386\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Veg-Haven.jpg\" alt=\"Veg Haven\" width=\"590\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Veg-Haven.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Veg-Haven-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15386\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Veg Haven<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/reviews\/vegetarian-haven-toronto-3237\" ><strong>VEGETARIAN HAVEN<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nAnnnnd if we want to talk pricey, we need to mention the Haven. Again, this is not a budget place\u00a0to grab a quick bite. Like Fresh, Vegetarian Haven is best enjoyed for a proper, ye olde fashioned\u00a0sit down meal. With it&#8217;s cozy atmosphere and impressive daily specials, Vegetarian Haven is a\u00a0great place to go if you want a legit meal \u2013 and legit dessert \u2013 in a wonderful, intimate atmosphere.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15387\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Apiecalypse-Now.jpg\"  rel=\"attachment wp-att-15387\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15387\" class=\"wp-image-15387\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Apiecalypse-Now.jpg\" alt=\"Apiecalypse Now!\" width=\"590\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Apiecalypse-Now.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Apiecalypse-Now-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15387\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Apiecalypse Now!<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/reviews\/apiecalypse-now-pizza-and-snack-bar-toronto-58573\" ><strong>APIECALYPSE NOW!

Boom. Done. You want an order of donuts with your pizza? They&#8217;ve got\u00a0you covered. Friends, this place is a definite must whenever you visit TO, whether you order a whole pizza\u00a0or just snag a slice. The icing on the cake here is it that it&#8217;s just a short walk from both Bloomer&#8217;s AND The\u00a0Hogtown Vegan.
