The Cornerstone

Stopped in to grab something to eat and drink after a tattoo appointment up the street while I waited for my go train. Originally I just wanted to be somewhere close while I wait, and didn’t care much for where I waited but I’m so happy this is where I ended up. The atmosphere is fantastic, warm, cozy, and very relaxed. I got a chai tea and ‘taste of downtown’ sandwich with curried potatoes. Not kidding when I say this sandwich changed my life. So. Dang. Good. Both were amazing, the gal who was helping me advised me that they don’t sweeten their chai so there was sugar in the table if I wanted to do so but I didn’t have to. Their chai is PERFECTION. I even grabbed a second for the road when I left. The two gals behind the counter were so awesome, I’ll definitely be back to try their seasonal cocktails and the beers they have on tap (huge bonus this place is licensed). Overall such a cool spot, glad that after all this time walking passed it I finally wandered in.

One of my favourite places to come when I just want to lounge with some good coffee and good food! The staff are always wonderful and super welcoming. The atmosphere is great and it has a unique and rustic charm. It seems very community focused and always has lots of posters for local events, so it’s a great place to go to find things to do. The coffee and food are incredible and they have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options. The cookies are to die for!! And they do a lot of live music and an open mic, so it’s fantastic if you’re looking for entertainment.

It felt like i would sit there for hours and keep on talking to my better half. The place felt magical. Atmosphere was so nice and pleasant. Service was great. Ourserver was talkative and suggested whats good to order. Food was outstanding. Delicious and mouthful.
