We also have ear savers, hand sanitizer and kids' face masks for sale. ⛑️😷💦👐 Looking forward to being able to host some friendly faces again soon at the cafe! 🤗☕♥

Summer Camps in Toronto have looked very different

Summer Camps in Toronto have looked very different this year, if they're running at all - at The Maker Bean, we're thrilled to have completed our first week of in-person camps, with many precautions & policies in place for safety, and we think the social interaction, learning and fun was a huge boost to our campers' spirits! 🛠️💻🤗🌄

➡️ One of our camper's parents wrote an insightful article in Today's Parent about her difficult decision to send her daughter to Maker Bean camp, and the positive benefit of it for both of them. Read it in our bio!

It's Global Love Day today! ♥️🌎 It's been a strange 7 weeks since social distancing began and The Maker Bean moved to take-out only. It's a tough time for all small businesses - with no staff and only the 2 of us working everyday. But the silver lining is that we've got to spend a lot of time together, getting ready for the arrival of our baby bean and seeing the outpour of support from the community, friends and family to make PPE for those in need. Times are hard right now, but it will all pass and love will never go away. Happy #GlobalLoveDay #allinthistogether 💕👫
