Loyal customers of Fahrenheit Coffee might have been surprised to find the cafe MIA this week on the Esplanade. I stopped by yesterday to grab a pick-me-up only to find it no longer existed. The tiny cafe was completely empty - no equipment, no fixtures, no counter, no signage....almost nothing to hint that one of the best new coffee shops to open this year ever existed.

All that remained was a notice on the door from GOAG Grinding and Brewing thanking customers for their support and mentioning that a new full service training facility will be opening within the next four weeks.

Mobile apps continue to be the start-up ventures of choice for Toronto entrepreneurs. One of the latest additions to the roster comes out of the Ryerson DMZ. Released to the iTunes store just this week, WhatImWear.in is a fashion app that lets users take photos of what they're wearing, tag the photos with brand names and other details and scour the app for interesting looks uploaded by other users.

Last Monday nine Toronto start-ups gathered on the lower level of MaRS to persuade wealthy investors to fork over some money - lots of it. This Venture Day was the culmination of the innovative Next 36 program where four person teams comprised entirely of Canadian university students had been challenged to create a mobile app (and company) with a starting budget of $50,000.

The downtown Toronto night market is on this weekend. Taking place in the parking lot of T&T on Cherry Street, this is the second night market that has graced the GTA this month, following the hugely successful Night It Up in Markham.

This is the second year for the T&T backed night market and based on last night alone it has taken a huge leap forward from its underwhelming debut last year. This year, there are more food vendors including many who make a regular appearance at Night it Up but the scale of the event is still much smaller.

A new iphone app was released this week that wants to be a comprehensive guide to Toronto chocolate stores. The app includes a directory of all chocolate stores in the city and includes recommendations about what to get at each one AND what to eat it with. At Ambiance Chocolat, for example, the scotch whisky caramel is suggested to be paired with some smoked maple wood cheddar. Now only if they also told us where to find that.

The app and web site, the Choco-Locate project, is meant to be a companion to the upcoming documentary Semisweet: The Other Side of Chocolate which will be screened on TVO later this year.
