A lovely little gem tucked away in an inconspicuous corner by the shore, just a couple minutes off Yonge St. Everything about this cafe feels made with care. Deliciously smooth lattes, very flavourful avocado toast (the sourdough is legit!), and maple pecan butter tarts with a balanced amount of sweetness. The interiors are warm and serene, and the atmosphere is instantly calming when you walk in. Very friendly owners as well :)

The vibe here is so cute, and the coffee is delicious. I found the staff extremely nice and friendly. We went to Gilford Eatry first and came here for coffee after. Great combo!

Lovely little cafe in Gilford! The staff were so sweet and patient, and the cafe had a warm, cozy ambience. If you're looking for a coffee or tea, consider this location! I just wish they put up their full drinks menu on their website so you can decide what you want before you go in haha

Cute little shop. The kids love going for a walk and stopping for a trip. Recommend the cinnamon buns if they aren’t sold out!
