About us
Small tables of 4–6 neighbours, matched to click, over coffee and tea at a local café.
***
WHY SONDERFUL?
Most of us live just minutes from people we'd really get along with, and never meet them. Sonderful fixes that. We bring together small groups of people who live in or near the same Toronto neighbourhood, matched on values, social style and rough life stage, for an easy, guided conversation over coffee.
WHAT HAPPENS AT A MEETUP
You sit down with 4–6 neighbours at a café near you for about 90 minutes. A deck of conversation cards does the hard part, so there's no awkward small talk and no pressure (as you can pass on any question). It's friendly and platonic, not a dating group or a networking event. Our first tables in the East End were rated 4.8/5 by attendees, and most people stayed well past 90 minutes.
WHO IT'S FOR
Anyone 21+ in Toronto who'd like more local friends: you're new to the city, your friends have moved away, or you'd just like to know more people nearby. Most people who come are a little nervous at first. That's normal, and the format is built for it.
HOW TO JOIN A TABLE (IMPORTANT)
Seats are matched in advance, so RSVPing here isn't enough on its own:
- Sign up on JoinSonderful.com
- Take the 3-minute quiz
- Pick the dates that work for you
- You'll get an email confirming your table
During our soft launch, meetups are free to join; just order something at the café, like a coffee. We're starting with a few neighbourhoods / meetups and adding more as people sign up to try Sonderful.

'Your next good friend lives 10 minutes away'
Most of us live close to people we'd really get along with, and never get introduced to them.
Sonderful fixes that by putting together small tables of 4–6 neighbours, matched on values, social style and life stage. A conversation kit helps tables skip the small talk, and about 90 minutes later, strangers often leave as friends.
Our first tables were rated 4.8/5 by attendees.
Friendly and platonic: not dating, not networking.
