ABOUT US
Founded by an immigrant family with a simple mission of hospitality and quality. When you step inside, you’re stepping into our home. Every cup and every pastry is made with care, love, and integrity.
Crafted With Care, Made In-House
We believe in serving only what we’d serve our own guests. That’s why everything, from our rich, specialty coffee to our decadent baked goods, is crafted right here in-house. Our famous larger-than-your-hand croissants are piped, proofed, and baked fresh daily in our kitchen, ensuring every bite feels homemade and comforting.
Specialty Coffee, Locally Sourced
Of course, great coffee is essential. We proudly brew with Subtext Coffee Beans, locally roasted and among the highest-rated specialty beans in Toronto. Every espresso shot and pour-over reflects our commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
What Does Martin Mean?

COMMUNITY SPIRIT

In the ever-changing specialty coffee market, we are committed to embracing innovation, discovering new flavors, and refining our methods to ensure the highest quality in every cup.
