Café at 3L is the coffeehouse inside The Leisure Learning Lab, built around good food, good coffee, and the belief that cafés can be more than places to grab something and leave.

​

They can be places to stay awhile.

​

Come for lunch. Meet a friend. Work for an hour. Listen to live music. Take a workshop. Have a conversation. Discover something happening in the room next door.

​

Our café is part of the larger 3L experience, a contemporary third place built for connection, creativity, curiosity, and community.

​

Fresh, thoughtful, and made here

​

Our approach to food is simple. Make it fresh. Make it interesting. Make it well.

Our menu is prepared in-house and changes regularly, with sandwiches, soups, salads, baked goods, café favourites, and rotating seasonal features.

​

We care about where our ingredients come from, and whenever possible, we choose local businesses and producers who care about their craft as much as we do.

​

Our coffee comes from Patrick's Beans, and we proudly use Arva Flour Mills flour in our kitchen and baking.

Supporting local is not a marketing line for us. It is part of how we want to operate.

​

A coffeehouse with something going on

​

Café at 3L sits inside a working arts, music, and community space, which means your lunch might come with a soundtrack.

You may walk in during a live performance, see an artist setting up, hear an open mic warming up for the evening, or discover a workshop happening later that week.

​

Our Live Music Monday: Lunch Room Sessions bring local and Canadian musicians into the café from 12 to 1 PM, creating an opportunity to enjoy live music over lunch as part of our Pay Leisure Forward programming.

The café is also connected to 3L's larger music programming, including Open Mic + Jam, Live Music Showcase, and The Listening Room Series.

​

Zero proof, always​

​

Café at 3L is part of a fully sober space.

Alongside coffee, tea, and café drinks, we serve creative zero-proof beverages and mocktails designed to make going out feel interesting without alcohol needing to be part of the experience.

​

Come as you are. Stay awhile.

​

You do not need to be attending a program to visit the café.

Stop in for coffee. Bring your laptop. Meet someone for lunch. Read. Create. Listen to music. Find out what is happening at 3L.

​

That is what a third place is supposed to be.
