One huge advantage of staying here... you can keep an eye on the massive line up at Bang Bang! So many unique artisan flavours, like London Fog, ginger milk, or espresso made with beans from the coffee shop down the street. If it's just too packed, head to Sweet Olenka's on Queen.

Toronto Islands are an oasis in the city, accessed via ferry. I suggest taking the ferry to Ward's Island, which is residential and therefore very quiet, or to Hanlan's Point, which is mostly parkland. There are a couple cafes on the island but I recommend packing snacks as well.
