Third Wave is a russian owned cafe. Their coffee is pretty good, their service could be just a little friendlier for their local patrons. they are fairly quick with their food & coffee.

Daisy drycleaners, whilst they are environmentally friendly, their service could be a little friendlier. Their prices are far too high as well, and turnaround is lengthy as well.
Approximate cost: $15.00
Opahs is located on Rouse Street, their food is great, on the expensive side. Very rich in taste and if you have a sweet tooth, they definatley have the best dessert which is the coconut crepe with maple syrup. Nice interior and they also do take away and home delivery for locals.
Approximate cost: $27.00

Benny, Sonny and the boys are amazing!! It's no wonder this is one of the most successful business on Bay Street. Their consistanty and hard work is a credit to each of these staff members. Even in times of being heavily packed with customers, these guys always take the moment to greet me by name and ask openly how myself and my partner have been since the last time I'd been in. They always have a smile on their face and make us feel welcome back every time. I have spread the good word here and referred many people to the "Best fish in chips" this side of the river. Well worth the drop in. Keep up the good work guys. Well done!!!

We have been dining here for 7 years & this cafe has been consistently excellent the entire time. The staff are friendly & recognise us as regular patrons, the food is always of a high quality & very reasonably priced. Always fresh & has a great atmosphere at all times, whether you are there to catch up with friends for their late brekky, or just there to read the paper & have "the best coffee on bay street", thanks so much Peter for knowing how to drive that coffee machine like perfection. It's always a pleasure & we will often bring new friends straight there for a casual dining experience because we know it is going to be great. Thanks so much guys keep up the great work.

Lentil as anything has an amazing story, the owner is a very wealth, humble individual who sleeps under the stars & is an advocate for the land belonging to the original owners many thousands of years ago. His restaurant runs on the "Pay what you think your meal is worth", this caters for all clientel of all walks of life. We first visited there with the expectation of a few lentils on a plate, costing only a couple of dollars, from the minute we walked in there, it gave a sense of honesty & homely feel. The staff are all volunteers, and there are no prices or suggestions of prices on menus for food or drinks (no alcohol). After the first 10 mins in this very basic humble establishment, we had decided to pay double what we had originally gone in there expecting to pay. By the time we left, we paid triple & still thought it wasn't enough, but were a little confused as to how much we should actually give, so we made the pact that we would indeed return & next time we would bring our friends. We had the delightful pleasure of meeting the cook at the end of the end of our dining experience as I asked to please send my thanks to the chef for the delicious vegetarian meal (Im not a huge fan of vegetarian food), however this was exceptional), she presented herself to our table & it turns out she was a 70 year old pakistani woman who had volunteered her services to cook soley for the evening of the busy establishment. We would highly recommend this place for a humble dining experience & appreciation for how the business is conducted with humility.
