I love this coffee shop!!! Service is always excellent, you'll be greeted with a friendly smile and a little chat when you enter this quaint and quiet cafe/art gallery. A super huge bonus for having organic, fair trade coffee and healthy things to snack on! Also, (an awesome perk) they have agave nectar among the condiments you can put in your beverage!!
I have never had a bad americano here but it varies in greatness depending on who the barista is. Don't let that deter you! Even though there is a Starbucks but steps away, seek out this Beaches gem; you won't be disappointed! -

Wins at delicious drinks and coffees.
Unbelievable service. Kind and relaxed owner.
Never closed. (this is an exaggeration) but they do have generous hours.
Decor is cozy. A communal table at the front, and a few small tables scattered.
Electric art. They currently are displaying work from a local artist. Mixed media.
Restroom is so cool! It's still in the process of being finished. But cute art.
Lest you miss it. It's a house. Very easy to walk by.
An Americano is a Canadiano here, because he's cool like that.
Never mind Starbucks, this is where it's at.
D is a cool letter. I like 'D'. Do you like 'D' too? -

This is a fun little coffee shop that is a great addition to the area. It's a little short on seating, but it's also never very busy.
The hippie owner is happy and friendly.
The hipster barista is gruff and not friendly, (Not UNfriendly, just not FRIENDLY.)
I like this place, but it's not on the same level of Mercury, Manic or Crema, but it's a LOT better than the place down the street that rhymes with Shmarbucks.Listed in: Coffee

Review from Vivek S.
Way down the rabbit hole -- that is, near the corner of Queen East and Woodbine -- is a charming café and art gallery called Wunderland. It's tucked inside an unmissable house painted brown and yellow. There is a small patio out front and inside is a wood-lover's dream. It's covered with barnwood and full of picnic-style benches constructed of large slabs of darkly-stained wood.
Wunderbar serves up fair-trade organic coffee, smoothies and other typical coffeeshop treats. They also offer something called a Canadiano, which the owner described as "like an Americano, but made here." Brilliant! The drip I had had *just* finished brewing, and I don't think the flavours had enough time to settle. It packed a punch on my tongue, but I definitely enjoyed it. And the prices here are super reasonable.
(Interestingly, like Burger's Priest across the street, this spot is loosely associated with a church. Except in this case it's the very unboring and pro-marijuana Church of the Universe http://www.iamm.com/. I uncovered this tidbit via research though. You won't feel a religious vibe here at all, nor do they proselytize.)
This is a friendly place that is a welcome addition to the neighbourhood. Don't forget to peek at the artwork adorning the walls (as well as some pieces on the front porch). Neat stuff.
Obligatory Title Pun: It's WUNDERBAR.
Menu Readability: Is it the law that cafe's present their menu on a large chalkboard? Legibility is OK.
Need to mention: Blues on the radio!
What this place teaches me about myself: I think pot and coffee makes more sense than burgers and JC, right? But what do I know.Listed in: Queen Street Address, Top Coffee Shops, Beachy Keen

Looking for coffee in the Beaches? Give Starbucks a skip and hit this funky little independent coffee shop. With its interesting artwork, beautiful reclaimed wood floors and furniture and, yes, good coffee Wunderland is a comfortable spot to catch up with friends or sit and relax alone. Also, the people that own it could not be much nicer.
One note - CASH ONLY. -

I hate starbucks for the most part and was dying for coffee so I went in,. Even though I thought it looked interesting I did not want to deal with any snobby artsy attitude you sometimes get for not being a " regular", but was really suprised when I didin;t get any of that and a good coffee that had me wired for hrs to come. Its pretty far from where I normally go for coffee but if im ever in the area agin ill ditch MY bad attitude and go in there agin, because its nothing like some of the places ive been into.

Wunderland is a newly opened cafe/gallery on Queen just east of Woodbine. It is located on the 1st floor of a house with indoor seating and a small patio on the front yard. They offer a variety of coffee drinks and teas with a small selection of baked good. It is a fun quirky little spot. Do check out the artwork on the bathroom walls.
