Dear Friends, Neighbours, and Family,

After nearly 13 incredible years in beautiful Bloor West Village, we share the news that our cafe will be closing its doors. Our final day of business will be Wednesday October 8th.

From the very beginning, this space was created on the idea of community. Over the years, we’ve had the joy of showcasing the talents of local artists in our gallery, celebrating life’s milestones with neighbours who entrusted us to host their most memorable events, cheered on our favourite team, and gathering together every month for open mic nights that filled the room with music, laughter, and connection. These walls have witnessed so many stories, and each one has made this place what it is.

We are deeply grateful to every one of you who stopped in for a coffee, brought friends to a show, displayed your art, or simply made this cafe part of your everyday rhythm. You are the heart of our beloved cafe, and we could not have asked for a more supportive, inspiring community to share this journey with.

While this chapter is coming to a close, it’s not goodbye - it’s see you later. To celebrate everything we’ve built together, we’d love for you to join us on our last day. Come enjoy a coffee on the house, share a memory, and let’s bid farewell the way we began - together. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for 13 unforgettable years.

With love and appreciation,
Baka Gallery Cafe
