It’s officially Patio season and we are ready to stay hydrated! Here are just some of our favourite spots to hit up in our favourite neighbourhood. Queen Garden Cafe Newly opened and just three doors down from our office, you’ll know where to find us on break. The beautiful glasshouse coffee bar is tucked away inside a garden.
