Davenport Village

Davenport Road traces an ancient shoreline; what was once submerged underwater is now a thriving area -- a mixed ecosystem of industry, residence and commerce. The area is home to a diverse community; predominantly Portuguese, Italian and Latin American. It is a neighbourhood in transition, as auto body shops transform into cafes and bars, and younger families move in. Peppered with parkettes, warehouses, and rehearsal spaces, this once uber industrial neighbourhood has people venturing north of Bloor.

Born and raised in Davenport Village, childhood friends Rosario Salvi and Gianfranco Voce founded The Sovereign in May 2012. These two Italian gentlemen are committed to serving excellent coffee (Rufino blends) in a welcoming a warm environment. In 2013 head chef Anthony Menna joined the team; the café now offers brunch, house-made snacks, and baked goods (the pistachio cookies are heaven). The Sovereign has evolved into a pillar for the community (think Cheers), acting as both a meeting place for local residents and business owners, and a destination spot for espresso aficionados.
