Great Co-Founders & Delicious food. It’s one thing to serve great food, it’s another to buy from a great team. I’ve been loyal to the Hive corn bread for years now. My friends all ask me when can we go to the Hive. They’re also on uber!
Toronto just scored a delicious soul food spot in a legendary space
Chic, moody, and perfect for date night or drinks with intention. A go-to when you want great ambiance and a slightly upscale vibe without trying too hard.

Square Boy
Delicious for after a party
