Ninetails Coffee Bar

Ninetails Coffee Bar is a cafe specializing in dorayaki: Japanese honey pancake sandwiches. 

This sleek cafe on Bloor Street gets it name from the mythical fox spirit originating from East Asian folklore (which was the inspiration for the Pokemon of the same name, for the anime nerds).
