Union Station Toronto
2024 Oct 14
Impressive transportation station connecting Canada’s major cities with Toronto. Its architecture has been kept and maintained over the years and now Union is bigger and more modern with several areas inside as restaurants, food court, coffee shops and retail stores.

If you’d like to enjoy the “pop culture” of Toronto’s commuting this is THE place to visit (and it’s free)

BTW, The Path starts in Union
Ogawa Coffee

Nice small coffee shop. I haven’t had the experience of going to Japan yet but as per other reviewers the design is close to what we can find in there. I had the matcha coffee and the rose and cinnamon macaroons and they were all delicious and great quality.

It was busy when I visited on a Saturday afternoon, there was barely a couple of seats. There is no parking as it is in downtown, you’ll need to park in one of the streets or a parking lot.
Nice tiny library with great customer service! Staff is soooooo helpful and nice! There are not tooo many areas to sit down but if you need to study or work it will serve very well. There is a strong wifi and there is an area with ~6 desktops. I will certainly return if I need a quick stop.

It may need some TLC but it does the work.

Centrally located and accessible to public transportation.
Very nice park. It is huge! It has several types of trails according to difficulty level. Good signalling. Plenty of parking which is included in the entrance fee. Washrooms are clean but in specific locations, so most likely you’ll need to drive or go in your bike to get to them.

While hiking, we saw several families camping in their designated campgrounds, which was really cool.

If visiting in summer, bring repellent, sunscreen, food , water and a hat! It is HUGE and you can spend here 3-4 hours at minimum.
South Bay Center

I love this plaza! Not only because it is very well located in the middle of Dorchester but because it has literally anything you need.

Please, take note 📝

There are stores for groceries 🌱🌶🥔🥗🥦🥒🥕, electronics 💡📱💻, renovations ⚒️🔨🪛, shoes 👠 👞 …. Beautiful and nice restaurants, even a Nail salon 💅 (Which I love!) and finally… a Starbucks (a very nice one!)

I come very often and still there are stores I haven’t visit.

It is a busy mall, so be prepared for a little hassle to park.
