Toronto’s kitchen for creative cooks, bakers, and curious snackers.

Food has a way of bringing us together. From birth it connects us, we have stories about it, we nurture others with it and we use it to share joy.

This is a place to gather around food. Whether it’s attending a baking class, discovering a cool new food startup, or enjoying a coffee break with neighbours and friends, this place is for you.

We’re a space where Leslieville enjoys great coffee and supports local dreams!
