A couple days ago I was invited by YGO Lab to try their bubble tea with my friend Kate. YGO Lab is a bubble tea place I’ve been to before—I love bubble tea, and with YGO Lab's convenient location near…
The Perfect Chill Spot
U of T can be quite overwhelming when it comes to finding places to relax, study, or even just hang out. It's so big it's hard to find anything. There are so many hidden places amongst the school that even…
Coming Home to Caffiends
When I got back on campus at the end of Orientation, the first thing I did was visit Caffiends, Victoria College's student-run fair-trade café, located on the first floor of Old Vic, the college's castle-like building.

Diabolos Coffee Bar
After a hiatus last year, UC's 50 year old student run cafe is back and better than ever. Diabolos' space in UC's Junior Common Room was recently renovated into a bright and airy one, dotted with ivy and tiny succulents.
