MY MEDALLION
You’re likely spending more time at home and missing local shops, bars, and restaurants you tend to frequent. Luckily, there’s a solution for that! Many Toronto businesses deliver straight to your home, and we’ve gathered a list of the best ones to try.
Craig’s Cookies
Craig’s Cookies in Parkdale is steps from residents of 145 & 79 Jameson Ave. Actor Craig Pike started his bakery out of his home, creating fluffy chocolate chip cookies stuffed with a variety of childhood favourites: Pop Tarts, Nutella, and Hershey’s Mini Eggs. Immediate delivery via Doordash is available, but if you can wait for next day delivery that’s also an option at a reduced price. If you enjoy puttering around in the kitchen, consider ordering their dough and enjoy a fun and easy baking project. As a plus, Craig’s Cookies also delivers Pilot Roaster’s coffee beans to enjoy while you snack.
Culinary Adventure Food Co
If you’re missing the colourful variety of Toronto cuisine while staying at home, why not have the food come to you? Culinary Adventure Food Co is known for their food tours of Toronto neighbourhoods, which mix history with a tasting menu. Now, they are introducing their delivery box service which is based on different parts of Toronto, such as Chinatown or the eclectic Kensington Market. Enjoy Chinese buns, artisan cheese, decadent chocolate bars and many other surprises in each box. A bonus is that each box comes with a 50 dollar gift certificate towards your next Culinary Adventure tour!
Type Books
For book lovers who miss the library, Type Books will bring reading material right to your doorstep! With locations in the Junction, Forest Hill, and Queen St W next to 55 Lisgar St, this Toronto favourite is still nurturing its literary community during social distancing. They offer contactless delivery from King to Eglington and Jane to Yonge. If you’re not sure what you’re in the mood for, go for a Mystery Bag, a curated selection of reads based on your taste! Additionally, a variety of puzzles and games are available for delivery alongside books.
Bellwoods Brewery
Another great Toronto business to support is Bellwoods Brewery. Named after the neighbourhood where it was founded, this brewery offers everything from bright, fresh styles to imperial stouts. Orders are placed online and delivery is a flat rate of $10 and available on business days.
Epicure Shop
The Epicure Shop in Cabbagetown, next to 561 Sherbourne, is another wonderful option for local snacks. A family-owned and operated deli offering the best cuts and gourmet treats, they are currently delivering through Uber Eats. Whether you need prepared meals, locally-sourced meat, cheese, or pastry, they are sure to meet your needs.
Although you may be missing your favourite food haunts in the city, there’s no need to forego them completely!
