About The Red Bench

At the first organic homemade frozen yogurt and cookie bar in Toronto, an actual bench—its bright red planks flanked by wrought-iron arm rests—sits just outside the entrance to The Red Bench. It's clear that what you see is what you get at this organic dessert bar, which crafts six flavors of frozen yogurt in-house. The frozen yogurt is made with the highest quality organic ingredients, including organic Canadian milk and yogurt. There are no questionable ingredients in any of these flavors, and are complimented by 30 or so fruit, nut, and candy toppings that guests can serve themselves. Also, frozen yogurt is healthy—containing probiotic cultures, protein, calcium, vitamin B-2, B-12, potassium, and magnesium.

But frozen yogurt is only one half of the equation at The Red Bench. Equally tempting are the made-to-order cookies, which start out as five organic cookie-dough bases. After choosing their base, guests can add in chunks of chocolate or clusters of nuts to create their own custom-made desserts. The cookies take only a few minutes to cook in the oven, after which they can be eaten or preserved inside a glass box for eternity. The Red Bench boasts over 25 premium loose leaf teas and organic coffee to warm the soul and soothe the mind.
