Our customer Craig stopped by yesterday and kindly donated a copy of his book to our café library.

“I’m Sorry. And Thank You.” – A Memoir to Sydney is a heartfelt story inspired by his beloved dog, Sydney.

We’re honoured to have it on our bookshelf for our customers to enjoy with a coffee.

Thank you, Craig, for sharing your story with us. 💜🐾☕📚

Purple Penguin Cafe on Queen Street East is a must-visit coffee and sandwich shop in Toronto. Their friendly staff and cozy atmosphere make it the perfect spot to grab a hot coffee, tea, or cold drink to refresh yourself on a beautiful spring day. Despite experiencing some technical difficulties with their online ordering feature, they were quick to resolve the issue and apologize to their customers for any inconvenience caused. The cafe also takes time off for holidays like Victoria Day but makes sure to keep their customers informed through social media updates. Purple Penguin Cafe is not just about serving delicious food and drinks; they also spread love and positivity through their social media posts, sending messages of support to all kinds of people. Recently, they were even included in the BTS Lego Run event by Universal Music Canada, where they served fresh baked Apple Fritters and Purple Penguin Cookie treats that were enjoyed by all.
