With great passion for art, music and the love of coffee came the creation of Open Studio Art Café in Spring 2015. A place where life drawing artists could join a community, practice their skills, share their talents, and have an espresso speciality coffee experience; all in the idyllic setting of Pickering’s Nautical Village. 

Catering daily to specialty coffee enthusiasts, cyclists from near and far, art & music lovers and locals, the café community has grown its many art forms by continuing to maintain its inclusive and supportive ideals. Staying the course over the past couple of challenging years and adapting where necessary, today the café remains the steady heartbeat of Nautical Village.
