The Palm is the brainchild of Brian Gibson, who is originally from the Bahamas and moved to Toronto in 2007 for school, and like he says, "the rest is history!" The Palm opened last summer as a pop up at College Street and Spadina Avenue after seeing the need to bring a taste of the islands to the city after international travel was paused due to the pandemic. This summer, Gibson decided to bring back the island flare to the Distillery District, exclusively at Cacao 70.
The Palm menu consists of tropical smoothies, freshly made limeades with fruit infusions, coconut water beverages and, of course, their special Piña coladas, Mango coladas and Daiquiris. This time around, Gibson introduced alcohol to the menu too, so feel free to spice up your beverage with alcohol if you desire. The Palm is ready to help the people of Toronto welcome summer, and the only thing missing is the beach.
Their partnership with Cacao 70 creates a whole realm of sweet indulgences, with tropical, summer-appropriate drinks at the Palm, and luxurious and creamy chocolate desserts and milkshakes just a few steps away.
"Customers can have an island iced beverage, or go a quick few steps over to Cacao 70 for a cold chocolatey milkshake, or a warm chocolatey waffle with ice cream," says Gibson.
The Palm is located at Cacao 70 in the Distillery District at the bar most easily accessed from 33 Mill Street. They are open from 12 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. from Thursday to Sunday with hopes to continue until the early fall.
