St Lawrence Market is a great place to find the best tomatoes in Toronto, especially the rustic beefsteak type. Those huge produce stores at the Front Street entrance always have a wide selection of fresh produce, including the nicest tomatoes.

Subtext specializes in light roasts and usually has several on offer that they brew to order. Very high quality coffee.

Located just 30 seconds away from the ROM, L'espresso by Mercurio is a convenient option for a quick bite. While it's decent, you may want to consider walking a bit further to the Annex neighborhood for better options like Ahmetzade, a cute Turkish coffee/breakfast place, or Amal, which has a morning menu.
