    If you're coming to Toronto in the winter, be sure to check this place out during the day or night. Go for a skate then enjoy some coffee or beer! Great relaxed vibe with views.

    Craft beers and wonderful espresso! Espresso comes with a side of sparkling water to cleanse the palette! Delicious food, great view of the water!

    Cafe by day and craft beer bar at night with a beautiful patio overlooking the water. I wish they had a broader menu for dinner, but this is a great option for coffee or drinks.

    The CUCUMBER SALAD was delicious! (goat yogurt, burnt chilli, dill, pangratatto). Place has some great #vegetarian options with a patio, WiFi and excellent coffee

    Great spot for a drink after skating at the Natrel Rink. Seating is kinda limited but plenty of standing room overlooking the rink/pond.

    Great place to coffice that's near Harbourfront. Only issue is that there aren't too many plugs.

    Pretty good coffee, lots of space, view of the harbour. 10 staff on shift, despite being fairly quiet and took ages to even be acknowledged when waiting to be served.

    Coffee is good beware it’s very inconsistent on the food side with food on weekends still only starting 11:30. They lack in pastries.

    A good place for parties as well.

    Came with my bf to celebrate. Food despite looking good,tastes terrible. We couldn't even eat the salad cos it inarguably awful, so asked fries instead which weren’t good either. They were very rude.

    Spacious, slick industrial vibe. Same quality you're used to from the original Boxcar. Get cosy in the winter and watch people skate.

    Best location, worst possible service and staff. Arrogant, snobby and rude.
