Big shout out to ELPIDA Cafe and Roastery! A local Café (196 Church St), that not only provides amazing fresh Cappuccino, Lattes, Coffee and Tea, they also support a local charity and a local public school by sharing their daily TIPS with them!

Amanda actually let me buy a sample bag she had set aside for a potential partner. I strongly recommend you visit and support this local business that opened firing the pandemic. If you love coffee you'll love Elpida. They also sell soaps, teas, and all things to make...
Read moreWhat a fantastic local business for Georgina to boast about. The owner-operators are passionate about their coffee and store, which comes thru in their delicious coffee and amazing service. They've proudly posted pictures of themselves visiting the plantations they source their sustainably farmed beans from, and freshly roast in-house every weekend. The maple lattes are absolutely delicious, and I make an effort to stop there every time I'm in the Keswick area. They also care about their local community and supporting vulnerable people with their pay-it-forward meals, which is great to see. 100% recommend this...
