There’s something magical about that first sip of truly exceptional coffee. It makes you pause, take a breath, and feel cared for. As a parent, those moments are precious: a brief pause in a busy day, a moment just for you.
Finding coffee that makes those moments truly special isn’t always easy. You deserve more than a “meh” cup grabbed between playdates or errands. You deserve coffee that delights the senses and offers a comforting ritual you can look forward to.
That’s why we went on a journey to discover local expertise, ethical sourcing, meticulous roasting, and the perfect balance of flavours, all to bring you coffee that elevates your everyday moments.
Here’s how we found the perfect selection worthy of serving to you:
Step One: Finding the Right Coffee Guide
The first step in creating our coffee experience was partnering with a local coffee expert. His guidance, knowledge, and passion helped us design a specialty coffee program to the nines, teaching us everything from bean selection to the perfect espresso pull.
Step Two: Partnering with a Local Ottawa Roaster
Through this network, we connected with a local Ottawa-based specialty roaster with a deep dedication to their craft.
We were delighted to discover a roastery that:
-
Carefully roasts each batch to highlight the natural flavours of the beans, bringing training from an international coffee master to our community
-
Works with producers and importers committed to ethical sourcing, fair pay, and sustainable farming
-
Focuses on balancing comforting flavours with adventurous notes, appealing to both classic and curious palates
-
Continuously refines its craft, ensuring every cup is fresh, nuanced, and satisfying
Working with them, we found partners who share our values: quality, integrity, and a love of coffee that makes every sip meaningful.
Step Three: Taste, Taste, Taste
We didn’t settle on a single coffee. We explored ten different coffees and two espresso blends, testing combinations to find the perfect selection.
The result is a powerhouse lineup that:
-
Brings warmth and comfort for your moments of self-care
-
Offers adventurous, expressive flavours for the coffee lover who enjoys exploring new notes
-
Creates uncompromising flavour in every cup
Why We Care About Coffee
We didn’t go through all of this just to brag. We did it because parents deserve a true moment to treat themselves, a pause woven into the beautiful chaos of parenting life. A perfectly pulled espresso while your toddler races around, a latte that feels like a gift to yourself, a cup that makes the morning just a little brighter — these are the magic moments of the eve
