A former industrial hinterland located between the Mile End and Parc-Extension neighbourhoods, Mile-Ex is a thriving enclave of artists, small businesses, adventurous restaurateurs, as well as the city's more cutting-edge architecture and design studios. The area carries a raw authenticity that's hard to find in other parts of town.

From cold brew on tap to avocado toast, life would not be the same without Dispatch. Remote workers and local students frequent these artisanal roasters and cafe religiously. The minimal, industrial decor is the antithesis of the coffee multi-national chains in town. Make sure to catch some rays on their inviting patio. Leaving Mile-Ex? No problem. You'll likely spot their Dispatch truck or their coffee beans sold all over town.
