Cool Hand of a Girl

What is Cool Hand of a Girl? Anchoring a classic stretch of Dundas Street West in The Junction, Cool Hand of a Girl is a warm, unpretentious daytime café and evening eatery grounded in organic Mexican home cooking. Inside, the dining room is intimate and unfussy, styled with mismatched wooden chairs, humble tables, and a bustling takeout counter, complemented by a relaxed sidewalk patio in warmer months. It operates effortlessly as both a daily morning coffee stop and an organic, scratch-kitchen refuge.

Cool Hand of a Girl Menu & What to Order Morning visits demand the chilaquiles or the beloved avocado-parmesan sandwich, built with ripe produce and bold, balanced seasoning. Later in the day, substantial offerings like the Mexican Bowl and the tarragon chicken sandwich demonstrate the kitchen's commitment to clean, seasonal ingredients, especially when doused in the house-made hot sauces. To drink, pair your meal with a deeply spiced Mexican 'Café de Olla' or a rich iced chocolate.

Know Before You Go With limited indoor seating, weekend brunch rushes can lead to waits, though the shop accepts advance bookings by phone or email alongside walk-ins. Note the split schedule: day service runs Tuesday through Sunday, while dinner operates strictly Tuesday through Saturday until 7:30 p.m. Streetcar and bus routes along Dundas West provide easy transit access, with metered street parking lining the commercial block.
