"The Drake General Store, Queen West by Kindred Studio. As they are constantly asserting, The Drake Hotel has nothing to do with a certain local hip hop celebrity. In fact, they were here first and are arguably more prolific, having recently branched out with a hotel & restaurant in Prince Edward County and General Store locations in Ottawa and Vancouver, on top of their 5 Toronto locations + a partnership with Good Neighbour in Leslieville. The original Drake General Store on Queen West at Beaconsfield is fashioned after a traditional hotel gift store and finds itself somewhere between flea market and cottage country rest stop. Always smart, funny and eye catching, it's worth stopping in just for the nostalgia."
Stumbled upon this store after we had brunch at the drake hotel. I love the aesthetics of this store- everything is very hippy and minimalistic

Nice stuff that they pulled together from everywhere. Good T-Shirts, nice accessories, funny stuff like Die Schlümpfe... some individual items to be found.

They have a lot of cool interesting stuff here. Love the fun shirts. Cool work socks. Perfect place to pick up fun gifts. Prices are good. Staff was real friendly and helpful. Definitely a place to stop by and check out when walking Queen Street.

Super trendy spot supporting local Canadian products. Lots of interesting gifts and Canadian themed apparel. They also have some snacks including candies, drinks and chips. A small barber shop in the back is intriguing as well as a great selection of grooming products

This store definitely had a "cool vibe" but they'll make you pay for it. Was staying in the area and I needed a towel and this was the only place I could find nearby that apparently sold towels. This store price gouges harder than anywhere I've seen before, $78 dollars for a towel that was previously marked up to $42... Unfortunately I wasn't in a position to shop around, that will be the last time they get any money from me.

Larger Drake General Store that resembles the other location’s aesthetic and quirky vibe.

I am from out of town and purchased a mug that ended up being chipped and didn’t realize until I got home. They sent me a replacement overnight! Top notch customer service. My first time at the General Store and I will definitely be returning.

Nice trendy store, the website and outside makes it seem a lot bigger than it actually is. Was expecting a few floors but it only has a ground floor and a small second floor. Nice selection of Canadian goods, although a little pricey.
