Stratford / Cafe

One of my favourite places to get coffee in downtown Stratford. Great coffee and treats made in house as well as lunch options to sit in or take out. The chocolate chip and sea salt cookie is a staple for our son Tomo.

Stratford / Cafe

A go to coffee spot for our family. They specialize in espresso based drinks and baked goods which are made on site. On Saturdays they offer two varieties of homemade doughnuts which are not to be missed. Make sure you get there early. They usually sell out pretty fast.

Stratford / Food Store

This is a great spot for groceries as well as frozen prepared foods and take out. All of the baked goods are made in house and they offer a number of lunch options through their bowl and smoothie bar. This place is great because they strive to be a zero waste one-stop shop that really cares about their impact on the environment. There’s a great selection of local products and produce as well including many bulk items including dry foods, cleaning and household supplies.

Stratford / Restaurant

Hands down one of the best restaurants in Stratford. AO is a casual spot specializing in made to order pasta using noodles which they make on site. They have a revolving menu which changes seasonally, but offer some staples like their Bucatini all'amatriciana and arancini.

Lincoln / Artist

Hi! I'm a freelance illustrator from Lincolnshire. Growing up in the countryside gave me a lot of opportunity to explore, fantasize and most of all draw! When illustrating I think about the story I can tell to make the subject come alive. I love illustrating anything conceptual, (particularly editorial), packaging, greetings cards but overall I love drawing!! 💖🌞😻♌💞
