History

Established in 2012.

Crème Fraîche Market Café began as an idea in the fall of 2010. Constance Dykun had just finished her inaugural farmers’ market season as the «Cheese Lady of Monforte Dairy» and she was inspired. The community, the fresh air and all the beautiful food left her wanting more. Constance grew up in the food business and she felt the need to get back to her roots. When the space of Lello Art Gallery became available in Constance’s neighbourhood she knew it was the perfect place.

Between farmers’ markets and permit purgatory, the opening date of Crème Fraîche was a mystery. Constance, with undying optimism and unending perseverance, filed all the paper work. She pushed, pulled, cajoled and pleaded her way through the permit process. Finally, on June 21^st, 2012, Crème Fraîche opened!

We are offering many different Ontario artisans’ products. Monforte Dairy cheeses, bread from St. John’s Bakery, fair trade organic coffee from the Merchants of Green and so much more.
