Considering Toronto's culinary scene, it should be no shock that "hipster" food has taken over the city. Hipster food is essentially any dish that becomes trendy: it's posted all over social media and it's all anyone is raving about.
Hipster food is often unique and unusual (ex: sushi burrito and rainbow bagels). Sometimes it just takes a basic concept and elevates it (ice cream sandwiches and grilled cheese).
Whether you're a bonafide hipster searching for that next "it" food or a newbie trying to keep up with all of the insane culinary trends, this list is for you. Here are 16 hipster AF foods that you can find in Toronto.
