Youthful Vengeance

What is Youthful Vengeance? Located at 1110 Dundas Street West near Ossington in Trinity Bellwoods, Youthful Vengeance is a volunteer-run community gallery, performance venue, and daytime café founded by David Choi and Deirdre McIntosh in partnership with the Vengeance Foundation. The spacious 1,700-square-foot room pairs casual street-facing seating and work-friendly tables with open gallery walls exhibiting emerging local artists. By day, natural light floods the communal room, while evenings pivot into candlelit live jazz, art openings, and poetry performances.

Youthful Vengeance Menu & What to Order Beverages take center stage at the counter, leaning heavily on precise extraction methods and East Asian flavor profiles. Standouts include the Melbourne-style Magic Latte pulling double-ristretto shots with Ethiopian beans from Moji House Coffee, alongside ceremonial-grade Maker Matcha lattes. House-brewed iced infusions like the Mint Yuzu Ginger and Lychee Strawberry Hibiscus deliver a sharp, refreshing punch, while colder afternoons call for the loaded hot chocolate topped with marshmallow, chocolate drizzle, and ginger cookie crumble.

Know Before You Go Daytime visits operate on a casual walk-in basis with laptop-friendly spaces to work or view the latest installations. Evening programming—such as the recurring Weeks of Vengeance showcases and Sunday daytime indie markets—frequently requires free RSVPs or ticketed admission via their website. Commuters can hop on the 505 Dundas streetcar directly to the door, while drivers will find a paid municipal parking lot located right across the street.
