Lazy Daisy's Cafe story about us

Lazy Beginnings


When I was a kid, spending summers on the family farm in Midhurst, Ontario meant getting up early to help my Uncle Howard milk the cows. When the outdoor work was done, I’d help my grandma bake. The front door was always open and neighbours and friends would pop by for a chat and something delicious to eat.

She was a brown and white Guernsey who like to lay around and chew the cud. I spent a lot of hot summer afternoons nestled in the crook of an apple tree reading, while Daisy rested in the shade beneath me, swatting flies with her tail.

When the work was done we'd enjoy a glass or two of milk with one of grandma’s famous oatmeal chocolate chip cookies or a butter tart. I remember friends n’ neighbours always dropping by for a chat (and to tuck into grandma’s legendary home baking).

I wanted to bring the spirit of our farm to the city: farm
fresh vegetables, locally sourced and seasonal, the meats naturally raised, drug & hormone free, our pastries all handmade with only real ingredients, no nitrates or preservatives.

We know that when you visit Lazy Daisy's Café or enjoy our biscuits in your own home, that you’ll be creating fresh baked, memorable moments for you and your loved ones.

In 2011, I opened Lazy Daisy’s Café, bringing the spirit of our farm to the city, offering locally sourced, homemade food to our community.

I'm proud and humbled that Lazy Daisy’s is recognized as one of the Top Brunch Restaurants and the Number One Breakfast Sandwich in the city by Toronto Life, BlogTO, Now Magazine, Eater Magazine and USA Today (to name just a few!) and that our famous Bake-at-Home Buttermilk Biscuits are now available in over 50 stores province wide.

Our friendly, hard-working team is a huge part of what gives Daisy's it'sfantastic vibe. I'm very lucky to work alongside such amazing people.It's our pleasure to welcome you to Lazy Daisy's.

Hope to see you soon!
