More than your neighbourhood coffeehouse: Boxcar Riverside

The up and coming neighbourhood, Riverside, became a lot trendier with the opening of Boxcar Riverside, part of the Boxcar Social brand. Boxcar Social is a rustic-chic, coffeehouse that offers premium coffee, craft brews and charcuterie plates. The Riverside coffeehouse is the second location, with the first  at Yonge street and Birch avenue.

The owners wanted to do something they loved and they wanted to do it right. Bringing their customers beans from all over North America and having fresh, organically certified ingredients is very important to them. With the success of their first shop, they were able to bring great coffee, local beers and foods to the east-end.

Boxcar Riverside is a large, trendy coffee shop located at Boulton avenue and Queen street east. The gorgeous spot is a great place to get some work done and enjoy a quiet cup of your favourite coffee or host a private party and enjoy the local craft brews on tap.

Riding Towards Success, Toronto’s Harley-Davidson Cafe

Engines were roaring and barbecue was smoking as guests poured into 1903 Cafe, Toronto’s Harley-Davidson cafe. The grand opening of the cafe was supported by numerous open-bars, complimentary barbecue, a DJ and a JumpStart Rider Simulator.

The simulator is a stationary Harley-Davidson motorcycle, fitted to a Jump Start stand where attendees were able to sit on the bike and feel the power as they revved its engine. Even the most inexperienced of riders were able to take part in the fun.

Open just till September, 1903 Cafe gives Harley enthusiasts a look into the rich history of the company by showcasing an extensive lineup of bikes, tools and branded gear. 1903 Cafe aims to bring bike lovers from far-and-wide to enjoy the memorabilia, fresh coffee and great conversation.  The Harley-Davidson Cafe is a Canadian concept and the first of its kind in the world.

After a pour of one of their freshly made coffees, provided by Toronto’s Fahrenheit Coffee, the Harley-Davidson’s won’t be the only thing speeding off into the sunset.

The space is available for special events and can fit up to 350 people and currently has long, communal bench seating with a few lounge areas.
