We're just getting our new web site together. In the interim, enjoy our new schedule and come enjoy our daily specials. Now open every day for breakfast and lunch. Dundas Street W., just East of Keele St.
When you live in a mid-gentrification neighborhood like the Junction, brown paper in storefront windows, "For Rent" signs, or any other indication that a new business is opening are constant sources of nervous anticipation - Will it be something cool, or just another crappy junk shop? A couple of weeks ago, a new cafe opened in the area that definitely fits into the former category, and not by name only.
Cool Hand of a Girl (2804 Dundas Street W) is a new organic cafe located just east of Keele on Dundas; Dave and I headed down there this past weekend to check it out. My first impression was that this coffee shop is really cute: it occupies a small space, and the tables and chairs are a mish-mash of fun retro furniture. The walls are currently bare except for a cool black and white art installation on one wall - I expect more art will be added soon, making the space feel less "plain" than it does now.

It's bright, it's sunny, it's like eating in an old friend's kitchen. The food is delicious, organic and home-made.
Cool Hand of a Girl is the kind of cafe I wish would pop up in my neighborhood. Small but delicious menu of soups, sandwiches and salads and desserts. Organic coffee and tea. This place gets busy.
