Located on Bathurst just south of Bloor, this is a restaurant, café, bookstore and crystal shop combined. As you first walk in you can choose from a variety of treats and beverages (I recommend their homemade hummus). In the back is a large selection of esoteric and self-help books, as well as packaged everyday herbs and spices. They also offer clothing, and singing bowls and instruments for the more musically inclined.

In Bloor West village, a close-knit community has formed around Alternative Thinking – a psychedelic specialty store and event space. Offering alternative books, jewellery, visionary cards and even organic food, this is a playhouse for curious types. The shop holds weekly events (which are often free!) and brings in tarot and palm readers for psychic fairs each month.
