Bread By Us
1065 Wellington St.
“I enjoy the small Cortado.”
Red Door Provisions

Bridgehead
18 coffeehouses in Ottawa
“I’ve been to them all!”
CC’s Corner
6 Lennox St., Richmond
“Their shop has extra funk because they also have a mini antique shop in the coffee shop. Super eclectic. Plus Cam is always spinning the vinyls.”
Quitters Coffee
1523 Main St., Stittsville
“This place is more than cultured coffee and a great patio. Owner Kathleen Edwards is a community builder who has created a very loyal following. I think of 1523 Main Street as the unofficial Stittsville town hall. Or Corner Gas with a high cool factor!”
