Equator Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Mississippi Mills

A great café with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. The coffee is a stand out with one of the sandwiches I had being above average and the other being below average.

Order: Large Cappuccino ($5.10 each) x3 Great tasting cappuccino High quality coffee beans Slight sweetness Bold coffee flavor without bitterness Not overly acidic

Jittery Chicken Sandwich ($12.00 each) x1 Great tasting sandwich Good quality bread I enjoyed the chicken and sauce a lot Fresh and tasty vegetables on the sandwich It came with kettle chips (unclear if this was made in house since the other sandwich came with Miss Vickie's kettle chips), tasted good

Pulled Pork Sandwich ($12.00 each) x1 Below average pulled pork sandwich The bun was quite soggy from the sauce Large amount of pulled pork on the sandwich Mostly one tasting note due to the strong BBQ sauce I personally found the sandwich overly sweet It came with a bag of Miss Vickie's kettle chips, tasted good It came with a slaw which was refreshing but not to my taste

Atmosphere and Site: Great atmosphere with a good amount of seating indoors and outdoors Fairly quiet and a good place to work/study/have a conversation Locally made art on the walls and locally made products available in the store A lot of coffee paraphernalia available for purchase A good variety of coffee beans available for purchase

Service: Everything I ordered arrived in 8~ minutes (only one customer in front of me) The employees are...

What a wonderful spot! First time here and I will definitely be back when I'm in the area (I'm in Almonte semi--regularly). Right from the moment we walked in, the staff were super friendly and welcoming--especially Dennis (I forgot to ask but we think he may be the manager/owner) who chatted with us, gave us suggestions, and took the time and effort to talk to us and even delivered our coffees and food. He was super friendly and personable, and this allows him/this spot to stand out amongst other coffee shop or similar spots in the area. I've only been to one Equator shop before (Stittsville--also excellent!), but with the delicious coffee and friendly service here, I am going to become a (semi) regular. They have GF bread for sandwiches (although they had just run out on my visit--but definitely will have a sandwich next time!). I appreciate them having this option because its nice that those of us who can't have regular bread. Also, I love that they have quite a few treats/squares that are GF, vegan etc. I tried the Ooey goey bar (an oat type bar with chocolate--SO good) which was perfect with my coffee. We were very glad to finally try this place and both my partner and I were super impressed with the exceptionally service and friendly staff. Since they were closing when we were leaving, they even set us up with free coffee refills for the road!! Super awesome. Thank you to Dennis!!!! We are already looking forward to our...

Equator Coffee is more than THE BEST PLACE TO GO for ANY reason at all.... It is also an engaged team of community-minded souls who go OUT of their WAY to help members of Almonte and the wider Canadian community. Equator Coffee generously supported the local event, Reconciliation Through Art, at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, Sept. 30, 2024 - an event that answered many of the 94 Calls to Truth and Reconciliation. This events connected the predominantly non-Indigenous community with Indigenous Art, Music, Performance and Teachings. Besides donating a raffle prize, they also provided brewed coffee for ALL of the visitors to the multi-faceted event, and the artists, performers, speakers and volunteers! It raised the pleasure-level of everyone at the event and shows just how committed Equator Coffee is to reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Many thanks to Jacob who delivered the coffee with the utmost graciousness, and Bailey who organized the coffee drops, and the whole Equator Team for generosity beyond our...
