The best kept secret on the rail path!! They got cheap eats that can’t be beat really. $5 for a lettuce Gouda bacon and tomato’s bagel that will satisfy your cravings. And don’t get me started on the drink. $4.25 for a latte made by someone with dyed hair and pronouns.. in this economy?! By far and away the best cup of joe for whatever the day may have for you. Don’t sleep on this !!

We were lucky enough to attend the special community dinner event for Nowruz, Persian New Year. The food was delicious, we honestly couldn't have enough. The space was arranged in a way that was accessible and allowed for mingling and meeting new people. The host was excellent and really made everyone feel welcome! So happy to have gone. Looking forward to more community events in this space!

Great stuff!! I feel extremely comfy here, the main space is cozy, kid and LGBTQ+ friendly and they have cheap, affordable juice, cookies and sandwiches, cheaper than elsewhere. $10 Saturday Brunch combo is a steal too!

By far my favourite place to have a flat white and bagel and did I mention a really good flat white costs $4.75, where do you find that in Toronto?!

Very friendly, helpful and amazing staff. Coffee also done well especially my Americano I had. Nice seeing a queer friendly and resources space for youth and others as well in the community. Love seeing the inclusiveness and intersectionality visible and present. Feels safe and loving.
