Haven is a fanciful little nook off the beaten path. Often displaying cute and colourful art pieces, the owners are just as welcoming as the atmosphere, which is that of a cozy cupboard. I'm a grateful neighbourhood regular who feels as though Haven really embodies a rich sense of the new Bloordale Village community.
Their coffee is up to par, and their specialty drinks are like the crack of my childhood fantasies (one word: Nutella). Their new food menu actually blew me away. As a meatball aficionado who proclaims no one makes better than my late strega-nona, their meatball sandwich was lusciously aromatic and delicious. My roommate saw it in my hand and said, "...that is sexual" as his pupils dilated. Pretty much sums it up.
P.s. Best patio in the neighbourhood in the summer.
P.p.s. Great gluten-free options.
