Just plain delicious everything. Great space. Lovely staff. A little pricy, but worth it. Social hub of the neighbourhood. Recommend the egg sandwiches if you're hungry.

Soooo delicious. Breakfast/brunch/lunch unlike any other. There is good reason people line up here all week long. If you go outside of peak times you don't wait too long. But it is always well worth the wait.

A magical place where the spaces that once were used for making the very material so much of the city of Toronto is built of have been transformed into a growing, ecologically friendly, educational, culturally vibrant scene. Beautiful trails, community events, weekend markets (all year round), an amazing outdoor skating rink and an incredible children's play space are alive with what makes Toronto so special.
