If you are on Gerrard this is an independent coffee shop. It's been in the neighbourhood for years! A better alternative to Tim Horton's which is located down the street from Grinder.

Entertainment & Activities

Make a reservation before you go. You usually need a large group. But such a fun time if you can do it!

Parks & Nature

I love going to Cherry Beach with the dog especially. If you have a car and a dog. This is a great spot to let them run off leash in the off-leash park. Even if you don't have a dog, this is a great spot where the beach will be a little more private than other beaches.

I LOVE going to the island! There are public beaches (nude and not nude) or stroll through the beautiful grounds playing frisbee golf. There are really cute cottages, where locals live year round. The island is even great to go to on not so nice days.
