Joe serves farm to cup drinks for thought with unpretentious warmth in this third-wave coffee shop with small town charm. This roaster-cafe could be in Portland or Vancouver, but itâs not. Itâs in Mt. Brydges and aspires to greater standards because the owner is passionate about coffee, self improvement and engaging the public. I could say the various roasts and drip coffee and espresso are great but taste is so subjective that mine or anyone elseâs opinion on this is largely useless. A majority of the population clearly love Starbucks, McDonaldâs and Tim Hortons and Joeâs goal is not to alienate them but to show them what he thinks a quality coffee bean from crop to roast to cup can be.

I also appreciate that everything is sourced ethnically, responsibly and helps those who are less fortunate get job experience in foreign countries. The only down side was the prices but with the high quality that's to...
   Read moreWhat a wonderful coffee shop!
The staff working here are a local family. They were very welcoming, and talk about being informed with product knowledge!
I came in randomly off the street looking to pick up a bag of coffee beans, and they staff here answered all my questions questions and even educated me in their bean selections, personal favorites and had me sample what I was going to buy.
They offer a good selection of ethically sourced, slow-roasted coffee, as well as tea and superfoods.
Thank you O-Joe! My wife also...
