2013Open since 2013. That's 13 years. Opened by Phillip du Preez and Sheena Mercer.
Our take
Phillip du Preez and Sheena Mercer opened the café in March 2013 in the woods just off the highway in Shirley. Yelp put it on its list of Canada’s top 100 places to eat more than once, at number 13 in 2021 and 19 in 2023, which Capital Daily and CTV both covered. Regulars built the four-season patio. Baking comes out all day, and the shop sells local art and gifts.
