Whether you call it The Beach or The Beaches, this Toronto neighbourhood is full of charm. Having a good grasp on the cafés in an area really makes you feel like a local and as a former Beaches resident, I can confidently say I know the ins and outs of the East end. Without the hussle and bussle you may feel working out of a coffee shop on Yonge, The Beaches offer a different vibe. Ready to grab a drink?

The best part about this café? You can take a taste of Remarkable Bean home with you by purchasing their house blends of loose leaf tea or coffee! They know quality which is why all of their coffee is small batch micro-roasted daily.
