Bonfire Latte

Ahhh Summer... Nothing quite like sitting under the stars toasting marshmallows over a crackling campfire. Of course you can't have toasted marshmallows without making S'mores. They are an essential summertime treat. Now you can capture the S'mores experience in a cup!

The new Bonfire Latte!!


The Bonfire Latte has everything you love about S'mores. Real Hershey's chocolate mixed with espresso, marshmallow syrup. Top it all off with whipped cream, graham cracker crumbs, chocolate syrup and a marshmallow.

It's much easier to sip your S'mores rather than making them the traditional way. Much less mess!! ; )

New Special

It's camping and bonfire season.  As we've been enjoying these comfortable evenings near our family's fire-pit we decided our newest special had to represent the sweet tastes of Summer fun, while it lasts.  This week and next, we are featuring a Summer-Bonfire-Inspired creation:

The Bonfire Latte!

All the creaminess, melted chocolate-ness of a good old-fashioned s'more... in latte form.  Graham cracker crumbles on top, of course!  Let us know what you think of this new fun treat, it'll be hard not to indulge in s'more.

(You can get it Iced, too!)

Delicious Sumatra

This is a semi-wet processed coffee bean, which yields a unique taste to the cup.  Some find it earthy, heavy bodied and rustic, while others taste more of a refined complexity in it.  We think that just a teaspoon or two of the local honey we keep in stock brings out the syrupy rich highlights in a good cup of French Pressed Sumatra Mandheling.  What do you think?

We invite you to try this featured coffee for the next two weeks. We have decaf in stock as well.

New Tea and More!


Fresh Tea, on-hand: White Peach

Hand crafted, white tea made from only select leaves layered with real peach.
White tea is made from the buds of the Camellias Tea Plant and minimally processed to prevent oxidation. Although it is called "White tea", the color of the tea is more of a pale yellow. The subtle, floral notes in the brew pair delightfully with the ripe Peach.

Raspberries and Peaches just made Lemonade even more delicious!


New Frozen Drink Special:

The past weeks of heat have really been getting to us here!  Other than our newest Frappe specials, which have become fast favourites, we've decided to throw something else into the blender for a frozen spin.  This week and next, there are two fruity frozen lemonade drinks available on special for only 2.49!  
Raspberry Lemonade & 
Peach Lemonade!!
Starting with a cold lemonade base, we toss in some flavoured syrup, frozen fruit, and ice. Blend on high, and viola!  A fresh delicious Frozen Lemonade made with real fruit! Stop by the shop to try one this week, and next!

This week's coffee: Ethiopian Yirgacheffe

This week's coffee is Ethiopian Yirgacheffe...


Ethiopia is where coffee originated! "Bun" is Ethiopian for "coffee" and "Kaffa" is the region where it was originally found growing wild. So "Kaffa Bun" may be the origin of our "Coffee Bean". 
Now Ethiopia is the world's 7th largest producer of coffee and produces some of the most sought after beans. 


Ethiopian Yirgacheffe beans are wet processed before roasting. This gives them a brighter acidity and a cleaner taste as opposed to a dry processed beans which yield more of an earthier taste.



This aromatic brew gives off a subtle floral scent with notes of citrus. The coffee has a vibrant,  honey sweet taste with undertones of fruit and wine.

Delicious New Special!!!

This two-week special is a coffee-free drink, for our customers who don't drink coffee.  Because we still love you too!

Raspberries and Dark Chocolate have been a great pair in all sorts of recipes from bakeries to bars, and of course paired well with coffee!  This Frozen Frappe Drink is a great way to enjoy the warm weather with a cold, tart, dreamy flavour.  A simply smashing blend of bittersweet chocolate and tart-sweet raspberries earns it the name ...
Raspberry-Chocolate Shocker
Try one with or with-out cream.  It's available this week and next, then further upon request with availability of ingredients.  For the coffee-lovers who want to try a different spin on this fabulous frappe, we recommend a double-shot of espresso tossed into the mix.  Don't be shy, just tell us: "spike it with coffee!" .

Have a great week!
