I enjoyed a satisfying career for a number of years in fashion but it was not long before I was lured back to my culinary endeavors through my love of chocolate and Heavenly Sweets was born.  Hand- rolled truffles in a multitude of flavours and textures along with my infamously decadent buttery "caramel cookies", still one of our most sought after "heavenly treats" were just a few of the sweets I loved to create and share.

By combining both my flare for fashion and design along with my passion for baking, I had the best of both worlds. Creating beautifully gift boxed "Heavenly Sweets", I was now supplying gift shops across Canada with decadent gifts of chocolate. 

Having always enjoyed our family life in Collingwood, it was natural to locate and open my first boutique chocolate gourmet shop in neighbouring Thornbury. So much fun, however there was still one key ingredient missing in my blissful equation. What I really wanted was to share in the company of friends and family. Stories and laughter reminiscent of all my fond memories shared around the dining room table surrounded by my mothers' fabulous cooking and hospitality. 

 In 2010 I opened a dessert café in Collingwood which evolved from just desserts and coffees  to serving light lunches as well . In January of 2016 we moved to Cranberry Mews and my dreams of a European style café/bistro  became a reality.  We  are proud to serve delicious breakfasts and lunches and offer a unique atmosphere for our customers to enjoy good food and escape to a little taste of Paris in Collingwood. 

House specialties are Croque Monsieur and Croque Madame, Rene's French Onion Soup(my husband makes the best French onion soup). Crepes Maison and our Savoury Crepes are delicious and are made with my Mom's recipe.   We  are  fully licensed making the café experience  even more enjoyable. Friends old and new can sit back, relax in the comfort of our elegant café and enjoy a relaxing afternoon  sipping on a nice glass of wine or an amazing cappuccino made with our own roasted coffee, sharing good food and laughter.

The last element of my dream has been fulfilled with the introduction of our Heavenly Gourmet Section.  Frozen foods carefully selected from many of the local talented foodies in the area! Heavenly creations made right here in our own kitchen.  Delicious sauces, oils, condiments from fine gourmet suppliers  to help make your cooking and entertaining so much easier. And a great choice of  gourmet gifts available to suit any budget! 

Our enthusiasm for creating fond memories has always been at the top of my list and I feel very fortunate to have our manager, Leyla , sharing in my values of warm greetings, friendly smiles and a welcoming experience. I raise a glass to toast my wonderful family who taught me how important it is to take the time to enjoy life's simple pleasures and I welcome you to join us at Heavenly Café and to share in our "heavenly experience" 

Fondly,
