#THEPINKLIFE in Toronto: For The Love of Pink Cafés & Treats

Hiiii pink lovers! Today I'm super excited to kick off my mini series of blog posts on some of the cutest pink places in Toronto. I'm sure you've seen these in my feed on instagram over the last couple of years - but I thought it would be easier if I put them all into categories as round up!

This first post is going to cover some of the best pink cafés and places to get treats. They are in no particular order. Be sure to let me know which one you will be hitting up next!

Ladurée

Be sure to stop by this cute little spot for a taste of Paris right in Yorkdale mall. Ladurée seriously has the yummiest and prettiest macarons ever. My favourites are Strawberry Candy and Rose Petal. I've never eaten at the café section before but it looks amazing as well! It's a bit pricey but totally worth the splurge on a special occasion or two, right?

The best spot to get a pink OOTD photo is right by the bathroom doors on the right side of the order counter. So so pretty!

Café Cancan

I've been here twice now and both experiences have been filled with photo opportunities. From the mint and pink interior decor to the mirrors and floral wallpaper - it's like a pastel café dream come true.

My favourite thing to order here is the birthday eclairs. You can get them separately as a little treat or they come with you order of brunch!

COPS Toronto

This is the sweetest little coffee and doughnut shop. The sweet cinnamon and sugar donuts are the best! I can't believe I've only been here ONE time but I NEED to go back.

Again - so many photo opportunities at this super pink and insta-worthy shop.

Taiyaki NYC Ice Cream

This place is a bit more new, but it's so yummy and totally worth checking out if you love ice cream. Who doesn't love ice cream?!

I tried the vanilla ice cream with sprinkles and I loved it. See photo above (the one with the unicorn horn!).

My favourite things about this place would be the colourful painted walls, the pink neon sign and of course the pink flower wall.

Early Bird Espresso (Queen)

Early Bird doesn't seem very pink friendly until you find their porch outside in the warmer months. It's a cute little hideout spot with two picnic tables and a very cute cotton candy pink painted brick wall for endless amounts of picture taking.

Note: they only open the patio in the summertime, so don't plan to see pink unless it's nice weather!

Bake Shoppe

I've been here a handful of times and I love it so much. The baked goods are super yummy, the staff are always super friendly and they make rap cookies - yes, rap cookies.

Besides all of those things - of course, it's pink.

There is a pink neon sign, pink plates and pink cupcakes - but the best part is probably the bathroom downstairs. Be sure to take a trip down to check out the pink flamingo wallpaper - it's amazing!

The only down side to this place is that it is closed on random days of the week and not open all day long always. Be sure to check their hours before you plan on paying a visit!
