NEW ARRIVAL ON THE SHELVES

We are so excited to stock I Love My Purse by Belle DeMont and illustrated by Sonja Wimmer!

This delightful, heartwarming book follows Charlie, a young boy who decides to wear a bright, beautiful purse to school. Even when faced with curious looks and questions from classmates, Charlie stays true to himself—and in doing so, inspires everyone around him to embrace their own unique joy and individuality. 🌈✨

It’s a powerful, sweet lesson in self-expression, authenticity, and confidence that kids (and grown-ups!) will absolutely adore.

SOCKS THAT REALLY KNOW HOW TO GLOW UP!

Who says the fun has to stop when the lights go out?

We've got glow-in-the-dark socks at Old’s Cool, and they're giving us some serious after-dark magic!

Glowing jellyfish, slithering snakes and other wonderfully weird designs that come alive when the lights go down.

Perfect for Halloween, spooky season, quirky gifts or anyone who believes their feet deserve a little attention.

Because life's too short for boring socks.

Come get your glow on at Old’s Cool!

Whether you're lighting one for self-love, setting an intention or simply making your home feel like an enchanted sanctuary, there's a candle calling your name.

Because sometimes the best magic is the kind we create for ourselves.

SWEATER WEATHER. SWEET TREATS. ZERO REGRETS.

The weather is cooling down, but things are heating up in our little café!

We've got delicious fall-inspired treats waiting for you, from rich, decadent squares and cozy cookies to pecan tarts and beautifully iced baked goodies.

Pair one with a hot coffee or tea, find yourself a cozy corner, and give yourself permission to slow down for a moment.

Because sometimes the best part of your day is a little treat and a friendly face.

Come for the coffee. Stay for the community. Leave with crumbs.

YOUR NEXT GREAT IDEA NEEDS A PLACE TO HAPPEN.

A knitting circle.
A book club.
A creative workshop.
A community conversation.
A holiday party.
A gathering of chosen family.
A really weird idea you've been waiting to try.

We love them all.

At Old’s Cool, we've always believed that a general store should be more than somewhere to shop.

It should be somewhere to belong.

As we head into the holiday season, we're inviting neighbours, artists, organizers, makers and community groups to make use of our space.

Because the best things that happen here aren't always things we sell.

Sometimes they're the friendships, conversations and connections that happen when people come together.

THERE'S ROOM FOR YOU HERE.

Have an idea for a gathering? Let's make it happen.

DM us or email [email protected] to inquire about available dates.

Meet your new fall obsession: THE APPLE ALMOND CROISSANT!

Flaky, buttery layers. Sweet apple goodness. A golden, crumbly almond topping. And just enough deliciousness to make you forget you were only stopping in for coffee.

It's giving cozy autumn mornings, warm hugs and absolutely no intention of sharing.

And judging by the look on our taste tester's face, we think we've got a winner!

Pair it with your favourite Old’s Cool coffee or tea, grab a seat and enjoy a little moment of happiness.

WARNING: MAY CAUSE UNCONTROLLABLE HAPPY DANCING.

Come get yours at Old’s Cool General Store!

SOME CLOUDS DON'T GO AWAY. BUT WE CAN LEARN TO DANCE IN THE RAIN.

Join us tomorrow at Old’s Cool General Store for a special children's book reading with Toronto author Karen Krossing, featuring her beautiful picture book The Cloud That Stuck.

Saturday, October 17, 2026
3:00 PM
Old’s Cool General Store
250 Westlake Avenue, Toronto

Meet Tansy. One blustery day, a cloud settles above her head and refuses to leave. No matter what she tries, it just won't budge.

But with a little love, support and creative thinking, Tansy discovers that maybe she doesn't need to chase away her cloud to find moments of joy.

A tender and imaginative story about big feelings, mental health, resilience and learning to embrace life's rainy days.

Inspired by Karen's own experiences with mental health, The Cloud That Stuck reminds little humans (and us big humans, too) that we don't always have to fix everything to find a little sunshine.

Bring your little ones, your curiosity and your love of stories!

Because at Old’s Cool, we believe there's room for every feeling, every story and every kind of weather.

All are welcome!
