6 h. ago Beloved Toronto coffee shop opens new location after over 20 years in business

A Toronto cafe that's been a neighbourhood stalwart for over 20 years is finally expanding, opening a brand new location in the city.Every neighbourhood has its institutions; those spots that have been there as long as you can remember and that you can't imagine ever closing down. Growing up in the Beaches, for me, that was The Goof (legal name: Garden Gate), but for Mimico, Birds and Beans Cafe fits the bill.Opening its doors in 2004, the cafe has been supplying the community with fair-trade, bird-friendly coffee and eco-friendly goods for the past 21 years out of their charming cafe just off Mimico Square.If you rarely venture deep into the west end of the city, you could go your whole life without knowing it was there, but you'd be worse off for it: the coffee is excellent, and the cafe itself looks and feels like something straight out of Gilmore Girls.As of last month, even more people in the city are getting the chance to experience the magic of Bird...

6 h. ago Shuttered Toronto landmark gets new lease on life as grocery business moves in

The fate of a well-loved Toronto landmark has taken another turn after the iconic Beaux Arts-style building was closed for three years.The former Postal Station C building at 1117 Queen Street was built in 1902, designed by famed architects David Ewart and Samuel G Curry, and served the neighbourhood's mail delivery needs for more than a century until it was officially closed in 2020.In the years that followed, it seemed that the fate of Postal Station C was nothing short of tragic, from being sold to sitting vacant, and riling up locals even more with the possibility of a futuristic new condo tower sprouting from the stately old building.Take a walk by Postal Station C today, and you'll see the building plastered in signs indicating that something new is moving, teasing work opportunities, and a new chapter for the building.    View this post on Instagram           A post shared b...

While it might not be everyone's dream to live in a fairytale cottage surrounded by trees, birds, squirrels, and woodland creatures, if it's your fantasy, 42 Brookfield Rd. is the ultimate dream Toronto house. Built in 1915, according to Geowarehouse, 42 Brookfield Rd. is a magical five-bedroom, four bathroom home tucked away on a massive ravine lot.We're talking 100 feet wide at the back and almost 200 feet deep. The dining room. This charming Toronto home oozes timeless character, with lovingly maintained details like coffered ceilings in the dining room and intricate plaster moulding throughout the main and second floors. The foyer. There's even a set of butler's stairs from back when the home had staff who needed to get to the second floor unseen.A sunroom that could be a home office. Sadly, it is currently closed off, but the vibes remain immaculate.The living room is almost 400 square feet. It's the kind of place ...
