Wild Oat Bakery, Cafe & Farm is a long-running Glebe bakery cafe where organic-flour breads, croissants, vegetarian comfort food and a farm-grown ingredient thread all matter. The order is strongest when it moves between the pastry case, the soup-and-sandwich side and the take-home freezer.

Oat Couture is a Bank Street cafe built around steel-cut oatmeal, with savoury bowls, sweet oats, breakfast sandwiches, paninis and a cozy neighbourhood rhythm.

Charlotte is an upstairs Elgin Street cocktail-and-wine lounge built like a living room: sofas, low light, sharply described cocktails, vegetarian-friendly snacks, and weekend DJ energy without turning the whole thing into a club.
