Kawartha Dairy are opening an ice cream shop at 888 Danforth Ave, one block west of Donlands, this summer:
Great to see! There is a gaping lack of Danforth ice cream options between Pape and Woodbine.

It is days like this that I miss St. Clair Ice Cream.
Personally though I prefer Summers in Yorkville.

It competes with Octo Zone located on Yonge between Dundas and Shuter.
What is up with all these Asian snack and gift shops? First Sukoshi Mart and now Octo Zone.
Don't forget that Octo Zone and Ohyo Spree (and similar Japanese-style merchandiser arcades) are also popular with East Asian tourists visiting Toronto, hence all the signage in Chinese characters (though with some Hiragana and Katakana on the toys' packaging as many of the toys are from popular Japanese media franchises). Plenty come for the plush toys and/or the figurines.Correlating with the influx of demographics. Many of the condo tenants scattered through downtown but often concentrated around the Bay and Yonge corridors are students of U of T or TMU. Or young adults who moved from the suburbs or elsewhere and now live downtown to be closer to work or whatever.
And not just East Asians as these products are popular with everyone. For example I bought one of those really big, obnoxious stuffed characters as a key chain finder.Don't forget that Octo Zone and Ohyo Spree (and similar Japanese-style merchandiser arcades) are also popular with East Asian tourists visiting Toronto, hence all the signage in Chinese characters (though with some Hiragana and Katakana on the toys' packaging as many of the toys are from popular Japanese media franchises).

I don't get that mentality. You travel all the way to another continent to a totally different culture...only to seek out stuff that's commonly seen back home? That makes no sense to me. When I travel abroad, the very last thing I want to see is something typically Canadian. I want to immerse myself in a culture I'm not familiar with.Don't forget that Octo Zone and Ohyo Spree (and similar Japanese-style merchandiser arcades) are also popular with East Asian tourists visiting Toronto, hence all the signage in Chinese characters
Clearly @Towered won't be ordering coffee from the Tim Hortons locations in South Korea or the UK.
