At upper left, the breakfast and brunch renaissance in South Bayview continues with preparation to open at Eggstatic, 1568 Bayview Ave., next door to Verdi Trattoria. This makes the fourth such happy arrival here after Green Canoe on Millwood Rd., Brunch Story at 874 Eglinton (at Laird) and the enormously busy Sophie’s Kitchen at 1614 Bayview. Still in the top gallery, on the east side of Bayview new businesses Beauty Bloom and Aytac Fashion are a welcome sight. In the lower gallery, the progression of La Muse (now at 1592 Bayview) to its soon to be completed new home at 1610 Bayview. That’s the former home of Horticultural Design. As reported here in June, owner Michael Renaud closed his business at the end of August after 27 years to accept a position with Summerhill Nursery and Floral on Poplar Plains Road.
