Treats was founded in 1977 as a single location selling specialty chocolates and other sweets in Yorkville, Toronto. Enthusiastic about their venture, the founders expanded their shop concept; and in 1979, the first Treats restaurant was born. In the early 80s Treats evolved as a bakery, using quality ingredients to provide fresh products each morning. Treats stores grew in number and popularity. Within a few years numerous locations opened, delivering across the country. Later as the 'Coffee Bar' concept was introduced customers were invited to choose from a variety of premium and flavoured coffees, which they dressed to their personal tastes.
One on One gives our clients the opportunity to create their own salumi. We meet with clients One on One, on our 1950's kitchen table. No fussy board room table, no intimate atmosphere, just an easy going meeting talking about food. We can make anything you like, from your grandmother's secret recipe, to reproducing an existing cured meat for a retail location. We will work closely with you to ensure your satisfaction. We also offer this service to our chefs.
We carry over 400 different varieties of cheese. Availability may vary. We focus heavily on local and Canadian cheeses especially artisan, but a large part of our inventory is made up of cheeses from around the world. We offer international cheeses that are exclusive to Cheese Shoppe on Locke and we work closely with local wineries to offer wine and cheese parings.
