My friend Kaitlynn (
@fawndolly) decided to spend a day downtown together! She lives in a nearby city, so it's always a bit of an adventure for her to visit me in Toronto. We visted Teddy Story, which, as far as I know, is the only teddy-themed cafe in the city.

In addition to coffee, tea, and cute desserts, they sell absolutely adorable collectable teddy bears from the Thai brand
Teddy House. We visited before Halloween, but we were greeted by a Christmas-themed bear.

After taking about a billion photos, we decided to have cake and coffee. I had the strawberry shortcake cappuccino and a slice of Godiva chocolate cheesecake while Kaitlynn ordered the rose milk tea with a truffle royal mousse cake. The seating area was very small, so it felt a bit crowded as there were a few couples inside the cafe with us. Once they left, it felt intimate and cozy. There was an old cartoon (Corduroy Bear or Teddy Ruxpin, maybe? I can't remember) displayed with a projector on the wall, with soft classical music playing.

| The cheesecake slice was deceptively big. I skipped lunch. |
The cheesecake was rich and heavy, just how I like it. It was so delicious! The strawberry shortcake cappuccino didn't really taste very strawberry-y, but it definitely had a sweet and milky flavour compared to your typical cappuccino. I was really pleased with the food, and it was quite reasonably priced given the downtown location and the generous size of the slice.
After stuffing ourselves we decided to take a few coordinate shots, and then we wandered around downtown for a bit before doing some shopping in the Eaton Centre, also known as the seventh level of retail hell.

I hope you enjoyed this mini-post! I'd like to keep posting blog entries about my tiny casual meets, so stay tuned for more.
Stay spooky!
