about

Toronto is seriously lacking in third spaces. We go to work, and then we go home. Our homes are also becoming quite small in size to host friends and have a gathering.

There are bars and restaurants in the city, great ones at that. But there are not that many third spaces where you can do activities other than eating and drinking.

You may be thinking "but I'm not creative", "but I'm not an artist." In our opinion, everyone can do art. In fact, our menu is divided into different categories, whether you want to build a small model with instructions fully provided, or you just want to choose some stickers and make a collage. We have 10+ activities in the menu for varying degrees of interest and mood.

Dear Peachies Picnic Café began as a simple idea: a cozy space to slow down, create something with your hands, and share a moment over tea.

Our indoor picnic café is inspired by nostalgia, whimsy, and the quiet magic of everyday moments.

We're not a traditional café. We don’t serve lattes with laptops or offer a full menu. Instead, we offer a space to make — and a different kind of menu, one filled with creative activities.

We opened Dear Peachies to be a space that doesn’t rush you. A space for solo afternoons, thoughtful dates, mini celebrations, and spontaneous creative joy. We may not be here forever — but while we’re here, we hope to be your favorite little stop for some memories and cozy tea shared among friends.

You're welcome here, exactly as you are.
