About us

Freaky Wizard was created by Jamie and Joem—two lifelong pop-culture obsessives who jointly came up with the name after agreeing on two non-negotiables: “wizard” (Joem’s Harry Potter expertise) and “freak” (Jamie’s deep love of vintage toys and collectibles). Wizard Freak didn’t work. Freaky Wizard did. The company launched in Guelph in 2018 as a small toy shop focused on LEGO and collectibles.

After moving to Barrie, Freaky Wizard evolved into something much bigger: the Freaky Wizard Café. It combined classic collectibles, LEGO, and wizard supplies with what many still call the best coffee in Barrie (Witch’s Brew). The space also featured nearly 1,000 board games, an escape room, a Great Hall–style party room, and a full food and drink menu—including craft beer and seltzers. It was chaotic, ambitious, and a little magical. For five years, it worked.

In 2023, Freaky Wizard closed its physical space and returned to Guelph. Today, FW is on sabbatical, dreaming up the next incarnation while continuing to appear at toy shows and community festivals.

ATTENTION: Joem is currently producing a growing line of handmade goods now sold in shops around Guelph.
