My lovely friend Joy, who you can learn more about here, because shes incredible, was by theĀ Coffee Pocket the other night to install one of her awesome tape drawings, applied directly to the wall.
I love this piece, and it really comes at such a perfect time.
Enjoy, and Thanks Joy!

Obviously if you’re reading this, you go to the Harbord shop, or have been at least once.
If not, get it together, geez.
Anyways, if you go to the Harbord shop, you’ll recognize Megan, or you may just know her as “the funny girl”. Megan, the funny girl, is celebrating a year of live comedy performances with a 20 minute set this Friday May 17th at the Flying Beaver (488 Parliament).
I promise you lots of dirty jokes, and a good time. See here
Come one Come all this Wednesday the 8th, at 7pm.
That amazing, talented, hilarious, larger than life, gentle as a kitten, Edwin Huizenga, violinist of the Wooden Sky, along with Phil Fournier on his harpsichord will be playing a FREE Bach concert instore at 297 Harbord.
We’ll keep the machine open late, and will be serving espresso only, paywhatyoucan style.

Come by the Harbord shop soon and check out this sweet bench our friend Brian made.
Brian lent us this bench for a bit, but if you’re interested in adding some new furniture to your place, get in touch, I guess we could let it go to a good home.
This is a Silver Maple and Black Walnut bench, finished in all natural stains and bees wax.
Get in touch with him brainvolz@gmail.com for more information.

This Saturday, March 3oth, we’re teaming up with our buds at New Balance to bring an event to Harry Rosen at 82 Bloor street.
Come by for one of our coffees made exclusively as a single serve filter cup, from your choice of either a heavy bodied metal filter, or a light bodied paper filter.
Enjoy some vinyl, sip a drip, and if you pick up a pair of NB Made in USA’s, we’ll even throw you a couple free coffee cards to use next time you’re in the shop.

Some of you may recall the massive geometric painting that hung on the walls of the harbord shop once upon a time.
Accredit that memory to Doug Brown. If you’re not familiar with one of my all time favourite bros, check his website here, and better yet, stay tuned for a new installation by Doug coming soon….

Look at these fucking winners! Imagine your house and life were this nice?
Ol’ Joshy boy and his lovely lady Natasha got to show a piece of their little heaven to the folks at Boots and Pine.
Take a peek, read a bit, get to know a little more about the guy responsible for keeping the Harbord shop in check.

Yo, if you don’t already know who Megan is, you probably don’t ever come to the shop, or haven’t for years, because she has been cracking jokes, and slanging the Hot n’ Browns at every SJCB location for almost 3 years now.
Megan not only is the longest running SJCB barista, and chief honcho of the PATH location, but shes a really fucking funny stand up comic.
