The family recipe traces to the Catalan region of Spain, where the founders learned from one of the country's top churreros before transplanting the operation to Toronto. Classic churros come in crispy, sugar-dusted lengths in four sizes; the filled versions go further dulce de leche, pastry cream, Nutella, white chocolate cream cheese maple the luxury pistachio option at $12.50. The thick Spanish hot chocolate, rich, very thick, deliberately dense, is the correct pairing: it's a dipping experience, not a beverage. Every batch is hand-made fresh each morning, which means there's a finite supply and the regulars know to show up early.

Try the classic churros, artisanal filled churros, thick hot chocolate.
