Bloor West Village
Bloor West Village runs on 47 restaurants and a coffee scene that's one-third the size it should be — 12 cafes against a cohort average of nearly 19. Lyla's House and The Coffee Boutique hold the line, but this corridor trades on accessible eat-anything density rather than any particular distinction.

About this Neighborhood
Bloor West Village is a working main street that has not confused itself with a destination. Forty-seven restaurants — Lettuce Love Cafe for the plant-curious, Ali Baba's shawarma for the late crowd — anchor a strip where the grocery situation (9 options, a z-score of -1.26 below cohort) is the quiet frustration. Fresh Avenue and Green Thumb Fruit Market cover produce basics, but no full supermarket. The coffee count, 12, is similarly thin relative to peers. Where the neighborhood genuinely excels: 15 parks (George Chater, Neil McLellan), fitness infrastructure running from Studio 77 Pilates to Modo Yoga to Orangetheory, and a socialGlue score of 75 that reflects a street life built on transaction and habit. The digitalNomadGravity score of 100, driven by coffee density, flatters a neighborhood that is less laptop-cafe than it is stroller-sidewalk. The 15-minute completeness score of 83 — five of six daily categories on foot — is the honest measure of how this place actually lives.
