Anna Tvinnereim took ownership of Beaches Bakeshop & Café in 2007 and has since redesigned the space into an authentic Swedish café in the heart of Toronto’s east end. This is the type of place you curl up with a tea and a newspaper to hide from the world after a long day. Anna has been a cook and a baker for as long as she’s been in North America — about 20 years. When she wasn’t cooking or baking herself, she was teaching other people how to do the same.
The charming bakeshop is decorated in true Swedish style; the warm ambience is accented with quirky comics, colourful clogs and soothing folk music playing on the radio in the background. The homey Scandinavian style is something that sets it apart from other cafés in the neighbourhood.
