What she gets: a vegan donut. This bakery and café, steps away from Christie Pits, is a Bloorcourt favourite for vegan and non-vegan diners alike. Choose from sweet offerings like ice cream sandwiches and jumbo-sized vegan donuts in classic and experimental flavours, plus mini donut holes for a more petite treat, while savoury eat-in or take-out lunch offerings include a pulled jackfruit sandwich, a vegan spin on the Cobb salad, fried pickles, a tempeh Reuben, and well, the mouthwatering list goes on.
If perfection is possible with food, then this place has nailed the concept. Nobody ever goes home feeling like they missed out with their meal. Even meat-eaters have felt weak in the knees with the offerings at Bloomer’s, which include amazingly cooked dishes like a Portobello and kimchi burger, curried cauliflower soup and gluten-free zucchini chocolate muffin. Skip the groceries this week and eat here instead.
There’re always at least eight to 12 vegan desserts to choose from, including the light and fluffy carrot cake, pumpkin tarts and chocolate chip cookies. Everything’s baked fresh daily, so feel free to stock up on your way to work or drop by for a late night snack.
