Good Company

What is Good Company? Set right along Queen Street West just east of Bathurst, Good Company is a sharp hybrid hangout founded by hospitality pro Mandy Todaro and master barber Eric Buzzeo. The street-level space operates as an airy daytime cafe and sleek evening cocktail lounge framed by roll-up garage doors, sidewalk patio seating, and an expansive L-shaped bar, with Buzzeo's barbershop tucked upstairs. Come nightfall, warm amber lighting takes over and wall-mounted tables fold up to make room for evening vinyl and DJ sets.

Good Company Menu & What to Order Todaro's menu leans into well-crafted, snackable comfort built around premium ingredients. Daytime and afternoon visits call for the multi-tier Bagel Tower stacked with smoked salmon, capers, and sweet mascarpone with honey-soaked blueberries, or the Thick and Morty, a brioche sandwich layered with mortadella, pistachio butter, and pickled chayote. In the evening, pivot to savory bar snacks like burrata with toasted sourdough, spiedini, and steak tartare, washed down with house cocktails or a specialty pistachio latte.

Know Before You Go Seating is primarily walk-in friendly, but snagging a spot by the open garage doors fills up fast, particularly during the 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily happy hour. The energy shifts dramatically after 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays when DJs spin late into the night. Street parking along Queen West is scarce, so taking the 501 Queen or 511 Bathurst streetcar is your smoothest route to the front door.
