This year, skip the apples and the “World’s Best Teacher” mug, and gift your kids' teachers something they really need to relax over the summer break: coffee and pastries. ☕🍪

Gift cards are available in-store at the café, or online at store.you.ca, and make the perfect end-of-school gift to thank teachers for all their hard work.

This is Jade, one of our woodshop youth trainees, showing off some of the different tasks our trainees might be working on at any given time at the woodshop. 🧰 From sanding our chef boards, to branding our coasters, there's always lots of work to be done and skills to be learned!

From start to finish, all of the wood products we sell in the café are hand made by local youth under the guidance of expert carpenters. Once our youth trainees have completed their training, they'll have gained the valuable skills and supports they need to find meaningful employment in our community.

You can help support local youth by purchasing products and making a difference in our community! 💪 Shop our wood products in-store at the café or online at store.you.ca.

Pop-tarts with a gourmet twist! 🍓 Our Pop-tart Danishes combine layers of flaky pastry with a sweet centre of cream cheese mixed with our house-made Mushed Strawberry Rhubarb jam. Like all of our baked goods, they're baked in-house daily and waiting to be enjoyed with your favourite drink!
