Take A Tour Of Our Neighbourhood: A Guide To Summerhill/Rosedale

The Room 2046 store is lucky enough to be based in the Summerhill/Rosedale area of Toronto, Canada. The stretch of Yonge Street from St Clair to Rosedale subway stations is full of shops, restaurants and businesses, making it an ideal part of the city to wander around and explore. Come along for a tour of some of our favourite spots in our neighbourhood!
Matcha Lattes in Room 2046 Toronto

A Matcha Made in Heaven

We are now serving matcha green tea lattes at our #CafeInShop.

Matcha is powdered green tea unique to Japan, and just one glass is the equivalent of 10 glasses of regular loose leaf green tea. It is made with a stone-grinding process, which allows you to ingest the whole leaf and gain all of its benefits.

The Great Gluten-Free Brunch

The Great Gluten-Free Brunch

There is no better reason to wake up on the weekend than to enjoy a morning full of meals. Yes, we're talking about brunch, arguably the best meal of the day because of its unlimited possibilities. However, if you have restrictions for either gluten or dairy, it may be tricky assembling a meal that suits you and pleases your company. But never fear! We have two recipes that will inspire and delight your senses without compromising your dietary needs.

We pull medium-roast espresso on the mighty La Marzocco from Italy using our custom blend beans originating from Brazil and Ethiopia and roasted by the local award-winning roaster, Social Coffee Tea & Company. Room 2046 Cafe also serves decaffeinated espresso alongside gluten-free treats baked by Queen B Pastry. Swing by Summerhill soon, ask for our signature the Valmonte, and have a chat with us!
