The Chronicles of Monica: Life in the T.Dot: Ticking Off the Toronto Bucket List: Week #6

Another week has come and gone!

So this week I did more eating and drinking :) I'm not sure a week will go by in Toronto without me eating something or treating myself to some sort of beverage.

What did I do this week? I hopped into The Communal Mule, ate a crepe at Krepesz in Kensington Market and had a picnic under the cherry blossom trees in High Park. Lovely week :)

The Communal Mule

984 Dundas West

I popped into The Communal Mule while waiting for my hair appointment at Barberella down the street. It was raining, and I had some time to kill so I thought "why not!". It's decor is nice, and the latte was decent, but I just didn't feel like I belonged. It felt rather pretentious, and more of a expensive "hipster" kind of crowd. The barista was alright I suppose, but after I ordered he took a while to make my latte since he was chatting with a friend. He eventually looked at me and was like "sorry, what did you order, a latte?". Not impressed. Anyway, I'm still a positive person, so I was alright with his forgetfulness. It happens. They played Euro dance type music, and I believe it was coming from a radio. I wasn't all to impressed with this since I believe indie coffee shops should be playing their own little mixes! But, who am I to judge. I'm sure there are people out there who love it!

Anyway, I wouldn't go back here. Ella's Uncle is right down the street, and I'd rather go there any day of the week!

Krepesz

Kensington Market - 253 Augusta Ave

I've always walked by this place, but I never thought to try it out! I thought I had read a tweet about this place, so I had to try it out :) My friend and I were just going to try their chimney cakes and a coffee, but since the cakes weren't ready, we shared a crepe! It was delicious :) Chicken Stew Crepe with Feta. mmm so yummy! I would highly recommend coming here for some crepes. I want to visit again just to try their dessert crepes! They looked delicious as well! The portions are generous. We shared a crepe, and it was good that we did!

Cherry Blossoms in High Park

So beautiful!!

My Japanese friend suggested I visit the cherry blossoms in High Park before I left, and since they were basically in full bloom, we decided to go! In Japan cherry blossoms are a big deal. People gather round, eat and drink under cherry blossoms every year. They are a delicate flower, and once they bloom they disappear! Luckily, the blossoms were at about 70% so we were still able to see them! It was very busy at High Park! I swear every Japanese family was at the park, I felt like I was in Japan! We had a little picnic, and enjoyed the lovely spring weather :) Simply beautiful :)
