A staple of the 6, the Drake’s Yonge and Eglinton outpost carries a full range of Canadian-themed curiosities and wearables. Whether gifting or shopping for yourself, quintessential items that give a nod to the CBC, HBC and maple syrup are aplenty here. But it’s not all about the kitschy coolness factor. Here you’ll also find hot home accessories like a wooden and marble cheeseboard, beautiful slate coasters and luxurious cotton towels.

Sweatshirts emblazoned with the well-known Ontario symbol, Toronto-centric graphic gear, and Canadiana-themed onesies and long johns fill the shelves of this super-stocked trove of eccentricities and treasures (the General Store carries everything from high-end candles to designer Canadian jewellery to sweaters with pixelated Mounties cartoons). Also visit the bonus location on Yonge Street with all the same sweet goods that the Queen West location offers.

Amongst the beard oils, beeswax, and other curated Canadiana, you'll find the Drake’s limited-run Japanese Blue Jays tees and hoodies produced in-house and perhaps a nod to fan-favourite infielder Munenori Kawasaki.
