Opened

January 27, 2026

A trans-owned cafe and wine bar in the heart of the Village, founded by partners Dani Gaede and Rowan Jette Knox. Coffee, teas, pastries, and sandwiches by day, with curated wines planned for evenings. Fills a community gap left by Glad Day Bookshop's move to Queen West — a quiet third space for the queer community.
