Rumored openings on Ossington

A couple of cafes are expected to open soon on Ossington. No, I am not talking about Salt Wine Bar, which has surpassed Union as the longest wait for an opening on the strip (hopefully it will be as worth the wait as Union!). Actually, there are two places coming to Ossington between Queen and Dundas which are already known to Torontonians from other neighborhoods.

First we have Te Aro Coffee, which is already serving the coffee-mad masses in Leslieville. Both the Facebook account and the Twitter feed for Te Aro have revealed a new location will be open on Ossington in July, and there are hints it will be in the space once home to Get Real Cafe.

Next, Tasteto revealed today that Goed Eten, formerly of Kensington Market, is taking over the lease once belonging to Semolina Bakery. Now, if they serve the waffles and frites as advertised, Goed Eten will be brilliant if they stay open beyond 5pm on weekdays, and if they are open after midnight on weekends, they’ll pack em in!

Is Ossington dying already?

With all the hoopla going on around how ‘hot’ Ossington is, it was interesting last weekend to walk down the street and see the reality of the situation. There are still a lot of places on Ossington not leased, nor will they likely be leased in the near future. Only 6 months past the moratorium it seems that the street is starting to close for business.

Below are a few photos of the recent devestation:

(will I have to change this blog to be the DundasVillage blog? – or is that the next local target)
