Beandigen Cafe

The Glebe (Lansdowne)

Why it matters: owned by Anishinaabe mother-daughter duo Paula and Jayde Naponse of Atikameksheng Anishinawbek First Nation, this Lansdowne cafe is a community hub for Indigenous people and their supporters. Alongside the coffee bar you’ll find clothing, art and goods from Indigenous makers, plus regular beading workshops. Order a coffee, browse the shelves and pick up a gift that actually supports the artist who made it. Closed Monday and Tuesday; weekends open at 9am.
