| - This could be the cutest café in Toronto, Canada or the world except it is not primarily a café, but a toy store specializing in teddy bears. Plush toys are usually cute, but everyone knows that teddy bears are not only the cutest, but also the classiest, nicest and most smart of them all so Teddy Story is as good as it gets.
Teddy Story sells hand-made teddy bears of all sizes, shapes and personalities (except all teddies are kind and friendly of course). They have 10 cm teddies and a couple of meter and a half ones. One chooses a companion, dresses him or her and adds a story and goes home happily.
Thankfully the owner has had the brilliant idea of adding a dedicated corner of the store to being a café and one can order attractive and colourful pastry, cookies and choose from a menu of daily specials, coffee, café au lait and teas. Not only the coffee was deep and tasty, but they also add cute designs (hint: it could be beary) to your beverage.
The café and store are not only cute, but also clean and tidy and show a pride of ownership. This is clearly both a business and a labour of love. The owner and her employee were poring over our beverages and, although the design of the bear needed some work, they were clearly caring and earnest. Speaking of the owner and employee they are polite, friendly and well put together. I almost wanted to thank the pretty owner for her store and demeanour! The website has a couple of spelling mistakes, but represents the store well. Please stay friendly and humble and kudos.
They have a table already occupied by a teddy so feel free to sit with her and treat her and yourself to a tea or smoothie. They were showing a Paddington bear cartoon on the wall, yet their store is still quiet and tranquil so go enjoy the treat, beverage or the bears as your eyes wander.
Teddy Story is the prime destination when looking for a friend/teddy bear or when downtown having some quiet time and a treat.
