I took a day trip to Toronto from Buffalo by bus. The terminal was not very far from Kensington Market so I walked around there for a few hours. This might have been a weekend because there were vendors in the street, although I could be wrong.
I saw this quaint cafe hidden by a big tree from the road. It didn't look anything special from the outside, it just looked small and cozy to me. I went inside and saw a few tables, and only a couple left unoccupied. I ordered a crepe and tea. I do not remember exactly what kind I ordered (this was in 2007) but I remember being so comfortable there that I stayed for more than an hour. I was by the window watching the world outside.
I pulled out my journal and started to write. The vibe inside was very nice, very relaxing. The music wasn't as loud as my thoughts, and everyone seemed to respect the faintness.
I visited Toronto for a day, walked around Kensington Market, and had lunch here. No CN Tower, no tourist places. Just this neighborhood alone, was enough to make me want to go back and visit Toronto again.
