What we’re about
✨ You’re invited to…
Meet. Eat. Repeat.
We are bringing together Durham Region residents who share a love of food and want to build meaningful friendships. 🍽️
Our meetups promise delicious meals and genuine conversation, with a rotation of local restaurants and cafés to keep things fun and fresh. Most often we gather for dinners, which are a great way to slow down, share a table, and connect.
We also host weekly Get Out! Coffee & Conversation events, a perfect midweek break for those working from home or anyone who just wants to recharge with casual chats and friendly faces.
A few quick notes before you join:
- Please make sure your profile includes your first name and a photo of yourself so we can recognize and welcome you at events.
- If you reserve a spot, we kindly ask that you honour your RSVP. Last-minute cancellations or no-shows may result in removal from the group. Respecting commitments helps us keep things fair to restaurants and fellow members.
- This community values showing up, participating with kindness, and contributing to the positive atmosphere that makes Foodie Finds special.
This group is more than just meals out. It is about connection, courage, and those little moments that make life brighter. We cannot wait to welcome you and to share a table together soon. 💜

Coffee & Connection
Brock St. Espresso, 131 Brock Street South, Whitby, ON, CAJoin us for a calm, reflective gathering to close out the year with intention and a little writing magic. ✨
This winter I’m introducing a new monthly series called Coffee & Connection, a gentle space to pause, write, and reconnect with yourself.
It’s a little different from our usual Coffee & Conversation. While there will still be space to chat, the heart of this meetup is reflective and creative writing in a cozy café setting. I’ll have simple prompts and exercises to guide us, but you’re welcome to write freely or follow your own flow.
Think of it as a quiet reset over the winter, a way to go inward while still being surrounded by friendly faces.
I’ll share the writing exercise a day or two before the meetup so you can settle into it ahead of time. Bring a notebook or a laptop, whatever you prefer.
We'll be gathering from 1 to 3 pm at Brock St. Espresso in Whitby.
See you there!
