Bite (The Pretzels) & Sip (The Smoothies)

Bite & Sip is easy to miss in Honest Ed's row on Bloor St. West but it gets two doughy thumbs up from BlogTO. Opened a year ago, owner Milka Cobanov has been steadily winning fans with her freshly baked pretzels and a large selection of fruit and candied smoothies, alongside a reasonably priced selection of sandwiches and salads. The "décor is jumbled" and there are "no wild tastes or new flavour profiles here," but the lack of pretension may be the reason why locals keep coming back for more. [BlogTO]
