There are people arriving and leaving on boats docking directly at the patio; giving a very different vibe to most patios in Ontario. There is a great hot and cold cafe menu, a well stocked bar, and a good selection of sandwiches. It is a bit on the pricier side; but the backyard patio is worth the extra couple of bucks. Food is brought to the table - a nice touch! This is also a tourist store with a good variety of homewares and local pottery and crafts.

If I lived in Gravenhurst, I could see this being one of my favourite little places to hang out…read more When we first walked in, I loved the retro/hipster vibe to it. This place is heaven for your inner geek. Old school board games, a pac man machine and a war-hammer painting station line the walls and floor of this place. We ordered a London fog from the counter. I was excited to see a beautiful selection of teas, there was definitely an emphasis on oriental teas and not as much variety as say, a David's tea but still very nice and a lot of nice lattes and mixed tea drinks on their menu. The London fog was actually fantastic and different from any I've ever had and the girl serving us was bubbly and nice. The strangest and most interesting part of this place has to be the single barbers chair and barber cutting hair at the back of the store. This guy has his own little studio at the back of this coffee shop and it seems to be popular. One of the servers had to turn away a client and said that he was booked up for the day. All-in-all this is an eclectic place that I feel prides itself for it's uniqueness. It's warm and welcoming and if you make an appointment, you can also get your hair cut!
