Out Of this World Cafe
Out of this World Café is more than a food provider. We are an "Alternative
Business" operated by the Ontario Council of Alternative Businesses.
Alternative Businesses feature high quality products and service, emphasize community building and provide employment opportunities for the psychiatric consumer/ survivor community.
In short, besides providing our customers with great food at great prices, Out of this World Café builds our community by creating jobs.
Out of this World has a long and successful history of operation within the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH)'s Queen St. W facility. Originally a vocational rehabilitation program run by (CAMH), Out of This World Café and Espresso Bar (OTW) was divested to OCAB in 2002 to be operated as an Alternative Business. Over the past six years, OTW has dramatically expanded its product lines, service and revenue base and currently provides employment opportunities to over 20 individuals with mental health and addiction histories.
OTW was recently featured in the newsletter Healthy Communities published by the Ontario Healthy Communities Coalition
