How to find us
We’re at 182, on Main Street Unionville among the heritage shopfronts and flower baskets. There’s parking right behind the shop, so that’s the easiest place to land.
Parking in Unionville is free. There are ample free lots behind the Main Street businesses, reached off Carlton Road and Main Street. The large lot behind the east-side merchants has north access from Carlton and south access from Main just north of Victoria — look for the green P. Smaller lots sit behind the west-side merchants. For the official note, see the Unionville BIA parking page.
You can’t really park on Main Street itself these days — on-boulevard parking on the rebuilt stretch between Carlton Road and the GO tracks is reserved for a couple of short-term drop-off and pickup spaces. Best bet is the lot behind us, then a short stroll out front.
Doing the Toogood Pond walk? There’s a parking area at Toogood Pond — head north on Main from Carlton, then west onto Toogood Pond.

The walk
The long way to a warm plate
Most people start at the south end of Main Street Unionville and walk north past the heritage shopfronts, the Millennium Bandstand and the Varley Art Gallery. It’s a slow street — a few blocks, lots of stopping, flower baskets in summer and lights in December. On weekend afternoons there are usually musicians playing somewhere along it.
Keep going north and you reach Toogood Pond Park, a short walk from the top of the street. The loop trail around the water is the classic Unionville add-on to a Main Street stroll — easy, flat, good for a stroller, and long enough that most people come back hungry. Check the City of Markham for current park conditions; we don’t post pond hours or parking rules because they aren’t ours to post.
Then drop into 182. We’re a crêperie on Main Street Unionville — savoury crêpes, sweet crêpes and real-fruit smoothies, made to order at the counter. Open daily · 10am–7pm (crepes till 7pm), so an afternoon walk and an early-evening crêpe fit together. We’re a stop on the walk, not the host of anything on the street.
