Food Scene
Outpost Coffee Roasters Ltd
1578 Bloor St WThey roast their own beans!
Their slices are enormous- big enough to share but really, why would you when they taste that good! And make sure to ask them to brush their garlic oil on your next slice of pizza! They have a small casual seating area- better to grab and go or have your pizza delivered.

Local and laid back vibe, rooftop patio, great selection of craft beers and Southern-style dishes. Great place to watch sports too (they have 3 well-placed flat screens), but doesn't feel like a sports bar!
