East side's Carbon Bar is getting a counterpart right downtown. Get ready for The Carbon Snack Bar 460 about to set up shop at the corner of King and Spadina, where Quantum Coffee called home until 2020. TR Trivia: QC returned to the area via The Well last March.
Warmer temps are finally on the approach, which means prime ice cream weather has arrived. However, you'll have to cross S'cream Ice Cream and Coffee off your list. Touching down in Yorkville at the onset of the pandemic, the coffee and confection shop offered more than just cones.

La Mooriyya Markette’s motto? “Explore the world, one shelf at a time.” The very recent edition to Kensington Market took over a sprawling grocery space at the corner of Augusta and Baldwin last fall, featuring a variety of vendors and retailers. In fact, Marry Me Mochi, the ever-expanding chain of Japanese mochi doughnut shops, opened an Insta-ready outpost out front. While La Mooriyya has closed, the pretty in pink doughnut destination is open for business.
Lobby has a long history in the 6ix. Do you remember standing in line to get in back in the day? At Avenue Road and Bloor, no less? The nightclub kicked off in September 2003, just in time for TIFF. Thanks in part to its proximity to Yorkville, it drew a steady crowd for some time before doors closed in 2010. [00:02:00] Nine years later, it touched down on Queen West and last year added Hamilton to the roster. Here's the thing. The Queen West outpost? Temporarily closed. And you'll never believe what's next. It's about to land right back at Avenue Road and Bloor. At its original address. You can't make this stuff up.
