Leafy Sanctuary

Garden terrace patio

A secluded lush garden oasis out back. Surrounded by greenery, string lights, and bistro tables for sunny mornings and breezy summer evenings.

Loved by the neighborhood

From morning espresso runs to late afternoon study sessions and weekend garden brunches.

"A true sanctuary in Baldwin Village. The three distinct house levels and lush rear garden patio make it easily one of Toronto's most charming neighborhood cafes."
