Yorkville stores: 30 shops, from watch dealers to sneakers

In September 2026 Harry Rosen left Bloor Street for the side streets, where 26 of Yorkville's 30 stores already stand. Its new shop at 153 Cumberland Street, less than 200 metres from the old one, has a second floor patio over the Village of Yorkville Park. That park was a parking lot until 1993, which the BIA calls a reversal of a Joni Mitchell song.

She came up here, in the coffee houses of the 1960s. The village's Victorian houses survived into the 20th century, which is why a whole shop here can be one brick townhouse.

Bloor gets the photographs. The afternoon is behind it.

For clothes in the townhouses

The name WDLT117 comes from "Wanderlust." Its founders travelled, found too few emerging labels at home, and gutted a Victorian era brick townhouse at 7 St Thomas Street, Unit 101, to fix that. It opens at noon every day.

119 Corbò dates to 2006 and is run by a mother and daughter, Linda Perisa and Gianna Ritacca, at 119 Yorkville Avenue. In their words, the buy is "rooted in Belgian designers from the 90s."

Grade A Mongolian cashmere is the whole point of The Cashmere Shop, a second generation business since 1993 at 24 Bellair Street, Unit 5. The yarns carry Sustainable Fibre Alliance certification. The sweaters are made to be passed down.

Up at 5 Hazelton Avenue, V Hazelton calls itself home to the only Kiton boutique in Canada. Its women's boutique, ELLE, is open too.

For the big floors

Two of the big floors are inside Yorkville Village. TNT began on Eglinton Avenue West in 1994 and opened 20,000 square feet upstairs at 87 Avenue Road in 2024. A Patrick Assaraf tee is $85 there, and a Yohji Yamamoto hoodie is $2,195.

Andrews came first, in 1990, when the mall was still Hazelton Lanes. You will find it at 55 Avenue Road, under arched windows, and dogs get treats.

Harry Rosen, in menswear since 1954, now fills 153 Cumberland Street. Terrazzo underfoot, a ZEGNA shop on the main level, and a fragrance bar upstairs with Creed and Acqua di Parma.

For the wrist, the finger and the face

Six of the 15 watch, jewellery, eyewear and accessory shops stand on one stretch of Cumberland Street, between numbers 118 and 162. Start at 118 with Watchfinder Canada, which sells pre owned watches. Its home page shows a 1971 Rolex Oyster Perpetual and an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.

At 130, Holly Eyewear stocks Thierry Lasry frames. Karir Eyewear and Swiss Gallery share 138, and All Eyes On Me and B Hemmings & Co. share 162.

On Hazelton Avenue, at 37, Mindham Fine Jewellery turned 30 in 2022. Myles Mindham built it on bespoke commissions, and it keeps weekday hours, 11 to 6.

Bloor Street gets the photographs, and the afternoon happens one block off it.

For resale and sneakers

Mine & Yours, in resale since 2013, has its Yorkville shop at 79 Yorkville Avenue. On 27 September 2026 a Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Alhambra bracelet was $6,950 there, against an estimated $8,000 new.

The Cat's Meow has sold consignment in Yorkville since 2006, by its own count, from 180 Avenue Road. In late September 2026 its window held a 2022 Chanel crochet dress at $3,495. Its blog puts a new 90cm Hermès scarf at C$840.

Three stores here sell sneakers. Kenshi, established in 2017 at 99 Yorkville Avenue, buys only brand new, unworn pairs and sells them from $100 to $13,000.

Capsule keeps its shoes at #108, 29 Bellair Street. In 2016 it made the "Wind Chill" Question with Reebok, for the NBA All Star Weekend in Toronto.

Utopia, at 132 Cumberland Street, photographs every flaw on every pre owned piece. It and WDLT117 are the two shops here that sell through within.

Getting there, and when

Take Line 2 to Bay station; St George and Yonge work too. Driving, the Green P lot at 74 Yorkville Avenue charges $5.50 per 30 minutes (Yorkville Village's own lot, at 55 Avenue Road, is $4.00 per 30 minutes).

Go on a weekday if Mindham is on your list. Andrews and TNT open at 10am, and Utopia and Kenshi stay open until 8pm.

Walk Cumberland first, then Yorkville Avenue, then Hazelton, with the park at Cumberland and Bellair in the middle. Most big cities have a flagship street, and the shops worth an afternoon sit one block behind it.

Common questions

What stores are in Yorkville, Toronto?

We count 30 with checked addresses, and 15 of them sell watches, jewellery, eyewear or accessories; the rest include TNT, 119 Corbò, Mine & Yours, Kenshi and Capsule. Andrews and Harry Rosen's new store at 153 Cumberland Street are there too. The Yorkville page on within shows the two that sell through us.

What is Yorkville famous for?

For its 1960s coffee houses, when the BIA says it was the Canadian capital of the hippie movement, and for the Bloor Street flagships that came after. Joseph Bloor founded the village in 1830, and its brickyards made the yellow brick still on the old Yorkville Firehall. Toronto annexed it in 1883.

What are some of the best things to do in Yorkville?

Walk the side streets, sit in the Village of Yorkville Park at Cumberland and Bellair, and find the yellow brick on the old firehall on Yorkville Avenue. For the rest of the city, Toronto boutiques sorts 12 shops by what each one buys, and the Queen Street West note walks the other big street.

Every business above is independent, was verified open as of August 2026, and nobody paid to be here. If one has closed or moved, tell us at hello@shopwithin.co and we will fix it.
