This is the favorite coffee shop for Riverdale locals. They don't have wifi which encourages visitors to relax and read or strike up a conversation! It has a great patio with Muskoka chairs to sit and soak up the sun and watch the world go by. This is where locals come to socialize :) The coffee is great and their almond lattes are the best!

One of the most beautiful back patios in Toronto. Shaded by giant weeping willow... you can often stay outside even when it rains! The feed is great and it has a nice little bar up front. Owned by Dora Keough
