Get ready for a super detailed review because this was one of the highlights of my trip to Toronto. This was on my itinerary prior to my trip and I was super stoked I got a chance to visit!
Teddy Story is a little cafe with adorable bear decorations straight from a little girl's fantasy. Its a teddybear store in the front half, and a cafe towards the back. In the front part of the store, there is a giant menu on the wall with a wide variety of drinks! I ordered a coffee milkshake and a earl gray rose milk tea. The dessert I ordered resembled a slice of watermelon but was really a raspberry cake with cream. There is also a giant screen portraying the adventures of Paddington, along with a super cute soundtrack that is played through the store. After taking a few sips of my drink, I wandered toward the teddy bear section. They have pre-made teddies with clothes already picked out, along with special collectible items! Additionally, there is an option to "make" your own teddy! You can choose from different sizes ranging from 5"-8" and up to about 14". Each teddy is designed differently so they have different price points. There is also clothing / shoes you can pick out for your teddy based off of what size they are. I chose a 8" teddy ($21.99) and picked out a hoodie ($10.50) along with some cute sneakers ($9.99). My total came out to be around $50 ish dollars. To be honest, I rather purchase a custom teddy from Teddy Story rather than a big company like "Build-a-bear" because the quality is much better, and the price points are pretty much the same. The person working helped me pick out the outfit and recommended me items off the food menu. Overall, I had a great experience and I left the cafe with a new cuddly friend!
