A coffee shop for the foodie in you.
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.
Mess Hall 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!
Fun-filled baking classes that are delicious too!
Join in the fun with The Magpie Cakery Baking School

Cinque
Hailing from the coastal city of Livorno in Tuscany, Lorenzo has a deep passion for bringing joy to people through food. He specializes in crafting delicious schiacciata sandwiches, drawing inspiration from his Tuscan roots.
Schiacciata is a traditional Italian bread similar to but thinner than focaccia. Lorenzo prepares it along with pickled veggies, spreads, and sauces all from scratch, often incorporating fresh produce from his garden during the summer.
