    Ratelier located in a lane way parallel to Queen St. W near Crawford St. is a space for creation. With a curated gallery (upstairs), a space that holds immersive fragrance workshops, and a specialty coffee bar, the concept of the space is to pause, explore, and connect with one's senses with others. The studio is hidden where you won't know where to find it unless you know. I've been seeing this space on Instagram for a month or so now and was excited that their coffee bar was finally open (they were holding fragrance workshops prior to their coffee bar opening!). I stopped by Ratelier on a Saturday morning around 9am (they open at 8am on the weekends and 7:30am on the weekdays). The place already had a few customers sitting upstairs while more customers stopped by as soon as I was placing my order. I decided to grab coffee beans as well from Ethica Coffee Roasters and it took staff quite a while to find the price of the beans (they weren't listed on the bag of beans or shelf). I also ordered a cortado which was made at a reasonable time (it was a long cortado). They also have some pastries for sale as well that are placed neatly in a display case. Heading upstairs there are only about seating for 6-8 people (3 tables), while downstairs there is seating for about 12-15 people. Since they hold fragrance workshops in the space as well there was a small corner on the main floor for all their materials needed for their workshops. The upstairs portion also doubles as a curated art gallery - when I went there were beautiful black and white photographs displayed on the walls. I enjoyed my coffee (which was made well), soaking in the space and aesthetics of the place. The music was relaxing and calm. They have a big screen where they were playing videos about specialty coffee and what it is/why it is different from mass produced coffee. It was nice to learn more about specialty coffee, as transparency in the coffee world is becoming more and more important. During my stay here there were quite a number of customers who came in. The staff were friendly and efficient, not super warm though. Either way my coffee was made well. Overall, a nice relaxing space to grab a coffee and/or view their art gallery. You can also inquire about their fragrance workshops as well which are held at specific times and days. Since seating is limited, it is likely not an ideal space for you to do work at (there is no wifi). It definitely is becoming more and more popular so drop by to experience the space during non-peak times. A worthwhile place to check out if you are in the Trinity Bellwoods area!

    My friend and I really enjoyed their perfume workshop. You get a quick intro, smell all the scents and pick your top six to test on strips! Shoutout to Victoria for being so helpful - mixing the strips and seeing the scent change instantly was so interesting. Tip: Come with a scent profile in mind. I actually used ChatGPT to narrow mine down. I wanted something coffee-forward and ended up with notes: Base: Coffee, Tobacco, Tonka Bean Middle: Fig Top: Pink Pepper Tobacco surprised me but added depth and tied well together with the coffee scent. Highly recommend if you want a creative night out! I booked their blending session only and decided to get their travel kit at an additional cost. They also have 30 ml and 50 ml bottles too.

    Toronto Review 14/Many: While visiting Toronto not long AGO, we went to this museum. Aside from…read morethat terrible pun, the museum was excellent and quite big, with an interesting mix of modern and old artwork. Of course, we didn't love everything, but that's to be expected with modern art. Anyway, it didn't take long for us to enter, but it was a bit difficult to find everything. Part of this was because some of the hallways couldn't be accessed, as there was what looked like a wedding reception on parts of the lower floors. The first thing that we went to was their signature exhibit right now, "The Impressionist Revolution: Monet to Matisse from the Dallas Museum of Art." It was a nicely designed exhibit that took up the entire floor, with plenty of space between each artwork, allowing people to get around and look at everything. I was happy to see that it wasn't just works by the most prolific artists, but also works by Morisot, Bernard, and Munch, among others. There was also a nice gift shop for this exhibit, among other things. Also, there was a nice observation area up the stairs, even with the fifth-floor gallery being closed. Of the other special exhibits, my favorite one was "Ranbir Sidhu: No Limits." A London-born but Toronto-based sculpture creator, Sidhu created works for this exhibit that were made primarily of mirror-finished stainless steel and were fascinating to look at due to their sheer size and scale. If you want to look up one of them, Asteroid 3033 X1 is the centerpiece. Near the end of my time there, I also saw "Diego Marcon: The Bubble Boy," which had some interesting use of CGI and puppets, with one of the movies reminding me a little bit of Anomalisa from a few years ago. Outside of these works, I wasn't as big a fan of "Dawoud Bey: Material Histories, Living Landscapes." The shadows were interesting, and some of the work had interesting faces, but I found the movie inside to be on the more pointless side, even if it had some creepy/unsettling aspects to the music and otherwise. Due to the giant line, I wasn't able to see "Yayoi Kusama's INFINITY MIRRORED ROOM - LET'S SURVIVE FOREVER" either. The pictures look nice, but I wasn't planning on waiting what seemed like 45 minutes or an hour, so if you don't want to wait that long, go there immediately. The Dutch master paintings from "Painted Presence: Rembrandt and His Peers" were also nice, with some more impressionist works around the corner. Outside of this, there was some interesting Indigenous and Canadian art, some other Dutch/European works, a nice collection of snuff bottles, and a large space with sculptures by Henry Moore. I would go over everything else, but I won't, as there was a lot. Overall, it was a nice selection of works from all over, with my only complaint being that it was a bit difficult to find everything. I would highly recommend taking several hours to go to this museum.

    We had an excellent visit. 1. Paul McCartneys photos from…read more1963-64. A must for this Beatles fan. 2. Canadian modern art. Stretches the brain. 3. Henry Moore sculpture garden. $60 CAD for admission for 2 $8 coat check for 2 $13.95 for coffee and pastry
