Christmas shopping continued on Sunday along Bloor around the Bloordale area. This area has sufficiently gentrified so that there were more choices than Dollar Marts. Near Bloor and Ossington, a bazaar offered a variety of knick knacks both "vintage" and new. The stores around Lansdowne were more niche: Zebuu offered pricy carved wooden birds from around the world, alongside soft Turkish towels and scarves; Fenigo specialized in lunch-related merchandise of all sorts: bento boxes, tiffin containers, thermos, eco-friendly metal straws.
I went in vegan baking company
Through Being Cool for a snack break. In addition to baked goods, they also can mustard, pickles, and marmalade. There was also a freezer full of vegan entrees including chickpea pot pie, lasagna, and mac and cheese. I settled into a corner nook with a sugar and cinnamon doughnut ($3). It was soft and felt denser than usual, but not too cakey. I liked that it wasn't too sweet; there was just enough sugar to satisfy your palate.
