We already know there’s truly never a dull moment around Bloor-Yorkville, from flagship store openings, to the ongoing transformation of Bloor Street, and the growing fitness and culinary experiences coming to the area. It can be hard to keep track of the latest and greatest, which is why we’re doing the investigative work for you! Below you’ll learn about the newest lunch spots, where to find an authentic Italian espresso, as well as the latest in fitness and fashion.
Good Karma
55 Avenue Road, Yorkville Village
A new option for those in and around the Yorkville Village area, Good Karma specializes in Indian food made from organic and locally sourced ingredients. The Bloor-Yorkville location, in Yorkville Village, is the latest endeavour from renowned restaurateur Hermant Bhagwani. The menu includes Indian-inspired vegan and gluten-free items, and the restaurant places a major emphasis on supporting sustainable farming practices.
ZAZA Espresso Bar
162 Cumberland Street
A trip to Southern Italy might not be attainable this week, but ZAZA Espresso bridges the gap between dream and reality. Inspired to bring an authentic Italian experience to Bloor-Yorkville, ZAZA beans are hand roasted in Italy by a third-generation coffee roaster family. The artisan quality of not only their coffee, but traditional desserts and gelato make ZAZA an essential Bloor-Yorkville destination. This is the third Bloor-Yorkville location for the ZAZA family of coffee shops! The sister location, COCO Espresso is at 29 Bellair Street, while a lunch-focused ZAZA is at 55 Avenue Road in Yorkville Village.

A new addition just east of Yonge and Bloor, Mad Radish offers healthy food for the busy people of Bloor-Yorkville and Toronto! Prioritizing nutrient-dense ingredients alongside culinary technique, the offerings are rich in veggies, grains, and proteins.

Brenton & Co.
126 Cumberland Street
A partnership between two bespoke tailors has resulted in a brand-new concept in Bloor-Yorkville.

The team works to prioritize both the look and feel of their garments, along with the technical precision seen in traditional British tailoring.
DIOR

It’s hard to miss the glowing exterior of DIOR’s brand new flagship, which makes sense given that it’s the largest DIOR boutique in North America!

The boutique also features full collections for both men and women, including ready-to-wear, timepieces, accessories, jewelry, and handbags.
