Pantry
If all that window shopping has got you feeling peckish, I can’t recommend Pantry enough. This spot is right next door to Gee Beauty on the corner of Yonge & Roxborough and it’s the perfect spot for a fab breakfast sandwich, quality coffee, or quick lunch. Whether you’re in the mood for a hot meal or are craving a cold salad, Pantry has it all and then some. If you can’t make it to Pantry’s Rosedale location, you can check them out in Commerce Court or Leslieville, too. Plus, don’t forget to check out their Thanksgiving feast menu that you can have delivered right to your door!

Greenhouse Juice Co.
If you’re looking to stay as healthy as possible, make sure you’re getting in your greens and if you ask me, the easiest way to do that is to chug a green juice. One of the top juice companies in the city is Greenhouse Juice Co. and while there are locations and stockists all over Toronto, the brand’s Rosedale outpost should definitely be on your list.

If you’re down with cannabis, a visit to Rosedal’s coolest cannabis store Superette is in order. The store opened this spring and has everything you need to get educated, restock, and even get cozy.

Aesop
If luxe skincare and bodycare products are your thing, then it’s time you ventured into Aesop in Rosedale. Each Aesop location throughout the world is beautifully unique so if you’ve shopped the brand in another country, don’t expect its Toronto locations to look the same. Get ready to do some major damage on the brand’s hand soaps, lotions, and skincare products.
