Lost Aviator Coffee Company — Restaurant in Guelph

For years, I've flown across North America, searching for the runway to the promised land of quality coffee. But everywhere I landed, I would only find bitter, watery disappointments masquerading as the divine drink. I'd circled endlessly, sampling one overpriced café after café, only to have my hopes dashed by the murky and bitter liquid they served. I was about to give up and divert to my home airfield in defeat.Then, on a gray and rainy day, the clouds briefly parted, and there it was - the beacon I had been seeking for so long. The runway to coffee sanctuary had revealed itself, like an oasis in the desert. With renewed vigor, I steered my weary craft towards this promised land, eager to touch down... For I had at last discovered the home airport for those of us who refused to settle for anything less than the perfect cup. ... Ok, jokes aside - honestly, this is the only place I've found so far where coffee is just like it's supposed to be, and you don't have to tweak it with salt (no, not a mistake.

It wasn’t until we decided to get the French Press and the Lost Aviator Dark roast that my wife finally is awake enough in the morning to not blame me for everything.

Highly recommend 5...
