| - Holy Oak is one of my favourite daytime hangs, as well as one of my favourite evening destinations -- they cover pretty much all of my needs!
Daytime: There is no cozier cafe than Holy Oak. The friendliest, sweetest staff. Delicious espresso. A variety of sweet and savoury treats (I developed a spanikopita addiction throughout my frequent visits). House-made soup, several kinds of grilled cheese sandwiches (one with apple and basil - yum!). Very reasonable prices. No pretension or bullshit.
Nighttime: An intimate, candle-lit music venue and bar, featuring some of the best musical acts in Toronto. A good selection of beers on tap (usually a couple of St Ambroise, Beau's, Cheval Blanc, and more). Great cocktails. Not feeling like alcohol? There is also juice, tea, hot chocolate, etc.
Happy fifth birthday, Holy Oak! Bloordale wouldn't be the same without you.
