Description:
DOWNTOWN. You deserve a reward, don't you? Of course you do! A chocolate truffle is just right – rich and indulgent, but not too big. Soma's chocolate is considered by many local chefs to be the finest in town, and you'll find it on a number of restaurant menus. Try it for yourself at their shop in the Distillery District. In addition to traditional but oh-so-decadent candies, you can enjoy contemporary creations, gelato, cookies and hot chocolate. |

Description:
MIDTOWN. Sure, they may be a little faddish, but cupcakes have a certain appeal that a slice of cake just doesn't. This charming little corner bakery makes perfect little single serving cakes that are as delightful to look at as they are to eat. Tempting flavors like the James Brown (chocolate buttercream on chocolate cake), Mango Madness (mango buttercream on vanilla cake) and Curious George (banana buttercream on chocolate or vanilla cake) are popular, but with about 15 daily varieties, you'll have a hard time choosing just one! |

Description:
WEST TORONTO. Since the mid-70s, this family owned enterprise has been providing artisanal cheeses to enraptured Torontoans. It's a hive of activity here, with some people dropping by simply to check out the cheese-aging cave. Others flock here for the free samples, rarely leaving without a purchase of some sort. And it may not even be cheese. Joining ranks with all this dairy goodness are a host of imported delicacies (Turkish figs, Italian olive oil, Hungarian paprika), premium deli meats, hard-to-find produce (fingerling potatoes, truffles), chocolates, coffees and more. Enjoy some of these gourmet treats in the café; alternatively, pick up the makings of an indulgent picnic lunch. The shop provides cheeses to all the top restaurants in town as well. |
