Ultramar
1121 Broadview AveBest prices for gas and only a few blocks away.
This is the favorite coffee shop for Riverdale locals. They don't have wifi which encourages visitors to relax and read or strike up a conversation! It has a great patio with Muskoka chairs to sit and soak up the sun and watch the world go by. This is where locals come to socialize :) The coffee is great and their almond lattes are the best!
