Looking for date ideas in Toronto? Bumble’s 30 new Interest Badges, like HIIT, cocktails, and house plants, help you connect with people who share your passions, making it easier to plan dates that truly match your vibe—here’s some inspo inspired by these game-changing badges.

Thirfting

Love finding a diamond in the rough? Take your date on a thrifting spree on Bloor Street, Queen Street West or Kensington Avenue. Highlights include Public Butter Vintage, Mama Loves You Vintage, and Odd Finds General Store. Don't forget to enjoy the thrill of finding hidden gems together — it’s the perfect way to see if your match shares your love for quirky treasures.

Tacos

If you and your date love tacos, you can debate whether Seven Lives or Dirty Birrias serve up the best in the city before conceding that you simply have to try all of Toronto's best tacos, together

Run clubs

Channel those first-date jitters by working up a sweat at one of Toronto's many run clubs. From the upbeat evening vibes of Beer Run Club to the early-bird antics of High Park Rogue Runners, choose a run that matches the tone you want to set for your date.

Drawing

A first date at one of Toronto’s life-drawing events is perfect for the artistically inclined. Try the Drink & Draw Life-Drawing Social at The Drake or Black Lab Brewing, or join a social drawing workshop at the AGO. For a unique experience, head to the Kensington Market parking garage for tandem skyline sketching.

Mocktails

Show off your knowledge of the city by taking your date on a sober soirée to taste Toronto's best mocktails. Try the Pink Pony Club at Lulu, the La Carabina from La Bartola or the Nospresso Martini at à toi.


It’s easier than ever to find someone who’s on the same page as you with Bumble’s new Interest Badges. These date ideas showcase some of the coolest spots around Toronto making it easier for you to connect with people who get you and your passions. So, next time you’re planning a date, why not make it something you know both of you will enjoy.
